SMILES: C1[C@@H](NC2=C(N1)N=C(NC2=O)N)CN(C=O)C3=CC=C(C=C3)C(=O)N[C@@H](CCC(=O)O)C(=O)O
Description: The molecule is a form of tetrahydrofolate that acts as a donor of formyl groups in anabolism. In these reactions 10-formyltetrahydrofolic acid is used as a substrate in formyltransferase reactions, which is important in purine biosynthesis. It has a role as an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of a 10-formyltetrahydrofolate(2-).
