FPGS binds to ATP, glutamate and folate (DHF or THF). Once folate is bound, the enzyme undergoes a conformational change into the active form. In the <scene name='74/748269/Glu/1'>Yersinia pestis structure</scene> 3qcz, glutamate and ATP are bound but the folate binding site is empty. | FPGS binds to ATP, glutamate and folate (DHF or THF).
