This article is a work in process during the Spring 2022 semester.

One-carbon metabolism refers to biochemical pathways that transfer a single carbon. Typically, these reactions are catalyzed by enzymes using cofactors or prosthetic groups such as S-adenosyl methionine, tetrahydrofolate, cobalamin or biotin, many of which are vitamin-derived[1]. The transfered carbon may have various oxidation states and end up as different functional groups such as methyl, methenyl, formyl, or carboxylate. One-carbon transfer reactions play a role in amino acid and nucleid acid biosynthesis, in epigenetics and cellular redox status [2].
