In the Cob(I)alamin binding domain, the imidazole side chain containing His 759 replaces the dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB) ligand. His 759 then bonds to Asp 757 and See 810 via hydrogen bonds to create a ligand trifecta that increases the efficiency of the methyl transfer during the catalytic cycle<ref name="Bandarian et al"/>.
