The enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) catalyzes NADPH dependent reduction of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate. It plays a crucial role in the DNA synthesis. The investigation of evolution of DHFR generates immense curiosity. It aids in predicting how the enzyme has adapted to the surroundings of various cell types. In spite of great similarity in the structure of E. coli DHFR and human DHFR, their primary sequences are divergent to a great extent, which is evident in variations in the kinetics mechanism of their catalysis. In presence of physiological levels of ligands, they possess distinct kinetics and different rate limiting steps. We have reviewed the process of their unfolding and refolding, their behaviour in denaturing conditions and in presence of various chaperones. Although there is structural similarity between these two homologous enzymes yet they have established distinct mechanisms to accomplish the coequal functions.
