COMPARATIVE MODELING OF METHYLENTETRAHYDROFOLATE REDUCTASE (MTHFR) ENZYME AND ITS MUTATIONAL ASSESSMENT: IN SILICO APPROACH
2010-06-30
Abstract excerpt
DNA-synthesis, DNA-repair, and DNA imprinting processes require efficient conversion of homocysteine to methionine. This methylation is catalyzed by methylentetrahydrofolate reductase through reduction of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. Normal DNA synthesis is considered critical for physiological functions of body. The enzyme is coded by the gene with the symbol MTHFR on chromosome 1...
