Due to the composition of its [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_secondary_structure secondary structure], KMT is an alpha-beta protein <ref name="Xiao" />. The helical composition includes 3 <scene name='81/811086/Alpha_helices/4'>alpha helices</scene>, with two residing in the SET domain and one in the C-terminal domain. The alpha helices in the SET domain are two turns while the C-terminal helix is by far the largest with 4 turns. There are also 2 <scene name='81/811086/3-10_helices/4'>3-10 helices</scene> in the SET domain which are each one turn. There are 21 total <scene name='81/811086/Beta_sheets/3'>beta strands</scene> which reside in the N-terminal domain and the SET domain. The beta strands are primarily anti-parallel and multiple antiparallel strands are connected by Type 1 and Type 2 <scene name='81/811086/Beta_turns/3'>beta turns</scene>.
