Abstract
The absolute stereochemistry of the 2-hydroxyglutaric acid present in methanopterin and its α-glutamyl derivative, sarcinapterin, has been determined to be (S). Thus, the absolute stereochemistry of the 2-hydroxyglutaric acid present in the side chain of these modified folates is the same as the L-glutamic acid present in the side chain of folates.
