Pneumocystis carinii dihydropteroate synthase but not
dihydrofolate reductase gene mutations correlate with prior trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or dapsone use.

A miR-24 microRNA binding-site polymorphism in
dihydrofolate reductase gene leads to methotrexate resistance.
Plasmodium falciparum
dihydrofolate reductase (PfDHFR) is one of the most important drug target for different antifolates.
Through a discretionary allocation of 1 million core-hours at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), researchers at Cloud Pharmaceuticals will use Mira, a 10- petaflops IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputer to investigate inhibitors of the
dihydrofolate reductase enzyme, or DHFR, from multiple sources.

In another study, novel 2,4-diaminopyrimidines bearing N,N-disubstituted aminomethyl residues at the position 5 were designed as
dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors.
Previous studies have suggested that resistance to SP is attributed to the emergence of certain mutations that occur sequentially in dihydropteroate synthase (dhps) and
dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr) genes of Plasmodium.
High-level recombinant protein expression can be achieved by amplification of the recombinant gene with a selectable marker, such as
Dihydrofolate Reductase (DHFR) (21), (22).
Finally, the enzyme
dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) catalyzes the reduction of DHF back into THF (Mato et al.
