Dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) is a crucial enzyme in the folate biosynthetic pathway, catalysing the formation of essential folate cofactors that underpin DNA synthesis and cellular functioning.

The novel beta-coronavirus virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and coronaviruses, in general, alter the host's cellular metabolism to support massive production of ~30 ...

When you think about nutrition, folate may not be the first nutrient that comes to mind. However, this B vitamin is crucial for your health. Folate is required for DNA synthesis and forming new cells, ...

Some biochemical processes, especially those in bacteria, have been so well studied it’s assumed that no discoveries are left to be made. Not so, it turns out, for Johns Hopkins researchers who have ...

Researchers studying cultured cells shortly after infecting them with SARS-CoV-2, now have more insight into the metabolic pathways co-opted by the virus. The findings highlight the potential ...

In a study published in Life Science Alliance, Texas A&M AgriLife Research scientists found that decreasing folate intake can support healthier metabolisms in aging animal models, challenging the ...
