Folylpolyglutamate synthase is a single subunit enzyme with two domains (reload <scene name='74/748269/Cv/7'>initial scene</scene>). The three substrates (folate, ATP, glutamate) bind on the same face in a <scene name='74/748269/Conserved/1'>highly conserved patch</scene> near the domain boundary. FPGS binds to ATP, glutamate and folate (THF-(glu)n). Once <scene name='74/748269/Folate/1'>folate is bound</scene>, the enzyme undergoes a <scene name='74/748269/Folate_binding/3'>conformational change</scene> into the active form.
