<scene name='69/694218/Cysteine_209/ | <scene name='69/694218/Cysteine_209/2'>Cysteine 209</scene> is located near the <scene name='69/697503/Active_site/2'>Ag85C active site</scene>, but is not directly involved in the enzyme mechanism. Recent studies suggest that this residue plays a significant role in the deactivation of Ag85C, using a mechanism not previously considered for these enzymes. Any mutation or modification to the Cys209 residue results in the relaxation of the otherwise kicked α-helix 9, which disrupts the hydrogen bonding network within the catalytic triad of the enzyme and inactivates Ag85C.<ref name="Favrot"/> | ||
