Publication Abstract from PubMedWe have determined the crystal structure of dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS) from Cryptosporidium hominis, revealing a unique linker domain containing an 11-residue alpha-helix that has extensive interactions with the opposite DHFR-TS monomer of the homodimeric enzyme.
