In enzymology a dihydrofolate synthase (EC 6.3.2.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + 78-dihydropteroate + L-glutamate ADP + phosphate + 78-dihydropteroylglutamateThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP 78-dihydropteroate and L-glutamate whereas its 3 products are ADP phosphate and 78-dihydropteroylglutamate.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases).
