3.6.1.1 Step 1: Condensation of Acety1-CoA with oxaloacetate to form Citrate

The initial condensation of acety1- CoA with oxaloacetate to form citrate is catalyzed by condensing enzyme, citrate synthase, which effects synthesis of a carbon to carbon bond between the methyl carbon of acety1-CoA and the carbony1 carbon of oxaloacetate.

Acety1- CoA + Oxaloacetate Citrate
