Transcribed Image Text:Aconitase converts citrate to isocitrate in a
stereospecific manner despite citrate not
being chiral. Why?
Chirality of citrate is not important.
Aconitase is chiral and binds to citrate in a
chiral fashion.
Aconitatse act only on one “enantiomeric"
side of citrate.
Aconitase acts only on one "enantiomeric"
face of citrate because the enzyme is chiral.
