Dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) catalyzes the condensation of 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropteridine pyrophosphate
to para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) to form 7,8-dihydropteroate. DHPs is a key enzyme in folate synthesis. Folate is necessary for nucleic acid synthesis. DHPS is found in bacteria and not in eukaryotes. Hence, it makes a target to sulfonamide antibiotics. Some DHPS contain a dihydro-6-hydroxymethylpterin pyrophosphokinase domain at their N terminal and are named PPPK-DHPS.
