Folate, or vitamin B9, is an essential cofactor in one-carbon transfer reactions that underpin synthesis of nucleic acids, amino acids and methylation processes in all living organisms. Plants ...

Folate coenzymes are pivotal for one-carbon transfers in nucleotide and amino acid metabolism. Microorganisms synthesise folate de novo, making the pathway an attractive target for antimicrobial and ...

Just when you thought you had your vitamins figured out, science throws us a curveball. New research from Texas A&M University is challenging everything we thought we knew about folate (that’s vitamin ...
