MbtI structure has a mobile element (residues 268-293 and 324-336) that can adopt a <scene name='69/694235/Irp9_closed_state/2'>closed</scene> or <scene name='69/694235/2g5f_with_open_loop/1'>open conformation</scene> depending on whether or not ligands are bound to the active site.<ref name="3a"/> The closed conformation partially obstructs the active site. <ref name= "5a"/>.

The AMT inhibitor contains an unmodified enolpyruvyl side chain and resembles the structure of the natural substrate, chorismate. [[3log]] and [[3ST6]] are shown to share a similar binding mode, termed binding mode 1. Isochorismate inhibitors with modified enolpyruvl side chains ([[3VEH]], [[3RV9]], [[3RV8]], [[3RV7]], [[3RV6]]) utilize a novel binding mode, termed mode 2, which involves the <scene name='69/694235/3veh_structure_bindingpocket2/2'>reorientation of the isochorismate analogue within the active site</scene>. Movement of the peptide backbone away from the closed form of MbtI is required to accommodate the enolpyruyl modified inhibitors.
