The full structure of MS has yet to be determined but studies have found it contains four domains, each with a unique function that bind to Cob(I)alamin as the methyl carrier, MTHF as the methyl donor in the catalytic cycle, homocysteine as the methyl acceptor, and S-adenosylmethionine or SAM, as the methyl donor in the reactivation cycle<ref name="Bandarian et al">DOI: 10.1038/nsb738</ref>. The orientation of the domains changes during the catalytic cycle. | The full structure of MS has yet to be determined but studies have found it contains four domains, each with a unique function that bind to Cob(I)alamin as the methyl carrier, MTHF as the methyl donor in the catalytic cycle, homocysteine as the methyl acceptor, and S-adenosylmethionine or SAM, as the methyl donor in the reactivation cycle<ref name="Bandarian et al">DOI: 10.1038/nsb738</ref>.
