Abstract
The Km and kcat. values for [6,6,7,7-2H]7,8(6H)-dihydropterin and 2,6-diamino-5-iminopyrimidin-4-one were determined for dihydropteridine reductase (EC 1.6.99.10) from two sources. The parameters of the pterin are of the same order as those of the most effective substrates of dihydropteridine reductase. The Km values of the pterin are one order of magnitude smaller than those of the pyrimidinone, although the kcat. values are of the same order.
