The proposed mechanism for thymidylate synthase (adapted from Ref 23 with permission from ACS). This reaction involves a series of chemical conversions (1–5) with several intermediates (A–D). All the chemical transformations happen at the “chemical reaction site” near the C146 residue (yellow), which forms the only covalent bond between the protein and the substrate during the catalytic turnover.
