octamer | the enzyme protein is an octamer both in the crystal structure, and in solution formed by two tetramers. The monomeric enzyme structure comprises a four-stranded antiparallel sheet, composed of beta1 (residues 10-12 and 16-20), beta2 (residues 33-42), beta3 (residues 98-106) and beta4 (residues 114-121), structure comparisons, overview | Pseudomonas aeruginosa |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

metabolism | the epimerase catalyzes one step of the tetrahydrofolate biosynthetic pathway, dihydroneopterin triphosphate is converted to dihydromonapterin triphosphate | Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
additional information | the active site of FolX is predicted to comprise residues from two adjacent subunits, which suggests that the tetramer is essential for the activity of the enzyme. Formation of the octamer may play a role in the stability of enzyme FolX | Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
