Abstract excerpt
Methylene-tetrahydropterin reductases catalyze the reduction of a methylene to a methyl group bound to a reduced pterin as C1 carrier in various one-carbon (C1) metabolisms. F420-dependent methylene-tetrahydromethanopterin (methylene-H4MPT) reductase (Mer) and the flavin-independent methylene-tetrahydrofolate (methylene-H4F) reductase (Mfr) use a ternary complex mechanism for the direct transfer of a hydride from...
