Abstract
The glutamylation of methotrexate catalyzed by beef liver folypolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS) is activated by addition of pteroic acid. Pteroic acid causes greater stimulation of FPGS, including glutamylation of tetrahydrofolate, at neutral pH values (i.e., below the pH optimum of 8.4). We have attributed this activation to a conformational change of FPGS induced by pteroic acid.
