Description | Prokaryotic methylene-tetrahydromethanopterin dehydrogenase catalyses the dehydrogenation of methylene-tetrahydromethanopterin during growth on one-carbon compounds such as methanol. It can also catalyse the reversible dehydrogenation of methylene-tetrahydrofolate, though at much lower efficiency [ ]. The pterin domain of this protein is composed of two α-β segments found at the N- and C-terminal ends of the polypeptide respectivly. This entry represents the N-terminal segment of the pterin domain superfamily, with a core structure comprising three layers (α/β/α) in which the β-sheet contains four strands. | Name | Methylene-tetrahydromethanopterin dehydrogenase, N-terminal domain superfamily |
