The cap makes Van der Walls contacts, hydrogen bond and water mediated bond.
The cap makes Van der Walls contacts, hydrogen bond and water mediated bond.
The enzyme specifically binds to guanine. This specificity is achieved through the recognition by the enzyme residues through hydrogen bonds of the guanine N1, N3, and O6 atoms.

== Post transcriptional modifications==
== Mechanism==
This enzyme catalyse N-methyl transfer from AdoMet (S-adenosylmethionine) to GpppRNA, this reaction produce 7-methyl-GpppRNA and AdoHcy.
We remark that the enzyme do not stabilize the transition state of the chemical reaction, do not promote the activation of the nucleophile or the explusion of the leaving group. mRNA Cap Methyltransferase orientates the substrates to facilitate the methyl transfer.
