Reaction Schematic and Folate Pathway
| MTHFR = methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase | DHF = dihydrofolate | THF = tetrahydrofolate | |
| 5,10-methylene-THF = 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate |
5-methyl-THF = 5-methyltetrahydrofolate |
MTR = methionine synthase | SAH = S-adenosylhomocysteine |
| NADPH = reduced form of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate | NADP+ = oxidized form of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate | SAM = S-Adenosyl methionine | TS = thymidylate synthase |

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or pathway:
“Sole and self-commanded works,
Fears not undermining days,
Grows by decays,
And, by the famous might that lurks
In reaction and recoil,
Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To learn from our enemies is the best pathway to loving them: for it makes us grateful to them.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
