The coordination shell of the magnesium cation in the active site of MbtI is composed of two water molecules, Glu434, Glu294, and the two oxygen atoms of the C1 carboxylate group of chorismate <ref name= "8a">PMID:22307014</ref>. In the presence of the magnesium ion, the positively charged Lys295 is displaced from the active site and the negatively charged Glu297 is faced toward the active site. Magnesium cation also orients the C1 carboxylate group coplanar to the ring of chorismate, reducing the electron density on the C2 center and favoring nucleophilic attack.
