7,8-dihydroeopterin 3'-phosphate = (2R,3S)-3-(2-amino-4-oxo-1,4,7,8-tetrahydropteridin-6-yl)-2,3-dihydroxypropyl phosphate
7,8-dihydroneopterin 2'-phosphate = (1S,2R)-1-(2-amino-4-oxo-1,4,7,8-tetrahydropteridin-6-yl)-1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-yl phosphate
Other name(s): MptB
Systematic name: 7,8-dihydroneopterin 2',3'-cyclic phosphate 2'/3'-phosphodiesterase
Comments: Contains one zinc atom and one iron atom per subunit of the dodecameric enzyme. It hydrolyses 7,8-dihydroneopterin 2',3'-cyclic phosphate, a step in tetrahydromethanopterin biosynthesis. In vitro the enzyme forms 7,8-dihydroneopterin 2'-phosphate and 7,8-dihydroneopterin 3'-phosphate at a ratio of 4:1.
