Abstract: Methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase (Fmt)-mediated formylation of Met-tRNAfMet to fMet-tRNAfMet is crucial for efficient initiation of translation in bacteria and the eukaryotic organelles. Folate dehydrogenase-cyclohydrolase (FolD), a bifunctional enzyme, carries out conversion of 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate (5,10-CH2-THF) to… read more here.
