The enzyme can bind first to either L-serine or tetrahydrofolate. The dissociation constants for the enzyme-L-serine and enzyme-tetrahydrofolate complexes are 0.18 mM and 0.35 mM, respectively. The kinetic mechanism of PvSHMT occurs via a random-order model and glycine formation is the rate-limiting step of the enzyme reaction
