Functions
dihydropteroate synthase activity / metal ion binding
Processes
folic acid biosynthetic process / response to drug / tetrahydrofolate biosynthetic process
Components
cytoplasm / cytosol
General Function
Metal ion binding
Specific Function
Catalyzes the condensation of para-aminobenzoate (pABA) with 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin diphosphate (DHPt-PP) to form 7,8-dihydropteroate (H2Pte), the immediate precursor of folate derivatives.
