Tetrahydrobiopterin and the folate coenzymes can reciprocally interact in ways that would be useful to the metabolic pathways subserved by both of these coenzymes. Thus, through one of the reactions catalyzed by methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase, 5-CH3-H4-folate can regenerate BH4 from q-BH2 and q-BH2 can provide an escape from the "methyl trap."
四氢生物蝶呤和叶酸辅酶可以以对这两种辅酶所支持的代谢途径有用的方式相互作用。因此,通过亚甲基四氢叶酸还原酶催化的反应之一,5-CH3-H4-叶酸可以从q-BH2再生四氢生物蝶呤,并且q-BH2可以提供一种摆脱“甲基陷阱”的途径。
