3.6.1.2 Conversion of citrate to isocirtrate via cis-aconitate
Citrate is converted to isocitrate by the enzyme aconitase which contains iron in the Fe2+ state in the form of an iron- sulfur protein (Fe:S). This conversion takes place in two steps: dehydration to cis-aconitate, some of which remains bound to the enzyme, and rehydration to iocitrate. Aconitase Aconitase |
