| malfunction | inhibition of the enzyme activity leads to arrest of DNA synthesis and hence cell death | Mycobacterium tuberculosis |
| physiological function | tetrahydrofolate is a precursor of cofactors necessary for the synthesis of thymidylate, purine nucleotides,methionine, serine, and glycine required for DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis | Mycobacterium tuberculosis |
