Thymidylate Synthase (TS) is an important enzyme in one-carbon metabolism. TS catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group and a hydride from 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 2-deoxyuridine-5'-monophosphate, resulting in the formation of thymidine 5'-monophosphate and dihydrofolate. This is the only de novo source of dTMP (a precursor to Thymine) in humans. [1]

2-deoxyuridine-5'-monophosphate(dUMP) + 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate(CH2H4F) ⇌ thymidine 5'-monophosphate(dTMP) + Dihydrofolate(H2F)
