The steric course of the conversion of glycine to 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (5,10-CH2-H4folate) by the glycine cleavage system in E. coli has been elucidated. 2-Hre of glycine is the precursor of 11-Hre of 5,10-CH2-H4folate, and 2-Hsi of glycine is the precursor of 11-Hsi of 5,10-CH2-H4folate.The overall transformation is at least 78percent stereospecific (possibly higher).
