Biopterin conversion to reduced folates by Leishmania donovani promastigotes.

Molecular and biochemical parasitology - 1 Nov 1991

Beck J T, Ullman B

Abstract excerpt

The ability of Leishmania donovani promastigotes to proliferate in folate-deficient medium supplemented with pterins suggests that pterins can serve as a source of folate in these parasites [16]. Using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, the ability of intact L. donovani to transform [3H]biopterin into tetrahydrofolates was demonstrated. Radioactivity was primarily associated with...
