Abstract excerpt
Deoxycytidylate (dCMP) hydroxymethylase (CH) catalyzes the formation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-dCMP, essential for DNA synthesis in phage T4, from dCMP and methylenetetrahydrofolate (CH2THF). The nucleotide analog 5-fluorodeoxuridylate (FdUMP) stoichiometrically inactivates CH by formation of a covalent complex containing enzyme, FdUMP, and CH2THF. Similar FdUMP complexes are formed by dTMP synthase and dUMP...
