Physarum polycephalum expresses a dihydropteridine reductase with selectivity for pterin substrates with a 6-(1', 2'-dihydroxypropyl) substitution
{{output}}
Physarum polycephalum is one of few non-animal organisms capable of synthesizing tetrahydrobiopterin from GTP. Here we demonstrate developmentally regulated expression of quinoid dihydropteridine reductase (EC 1.6.99.7), an enzyme required for recycling 6,7-[8... ...
