Identification
Name: 7,8-Dihydroneopterin
Description:7,8-dihydroneopterin (H(2)Neo) is an intermediate in folate biosynthesis pathway. It is converted to glycolaldehyde and 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropteridine via bifunctional dihydroneopterin aldolase/dihydroneopterin triphosphate 2'-epimerase (EC:4.1.2.25). it is also a substrate of alkaline phosphatase. (KEGG) Dihydromonapterin is a member of the chemical class known as Biopterins and Derivatives. These are coenzymes containing a 2-amino-pteridine-4-one derivative. Dihydromonapterin is an intermediate in the synthesis of tetrahydromonopterin. Tetrahydromonapterin is the major tetrahydropterin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, although the biological role of tetrahydromonapterin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is currently unknown.
