Explanation:
Aconitase is an enzymatic domain. It catalyzes citrate = aconitate + H2O = L-isocitrate. It is important in the aerobic cellular respiration and ATP production. In the catalytic mechanism of mitochondrial aconiatse, there are 2 stages: dehydration and rehydration.
The activity of aconitase may be reduced if one Fe is removed from cluster and it is also inhibited by nitro-analogs.
Aconitase-catalyzed interconversion of citrate and isocitrate via cis-aconitate: Figure 1
Citrate is prochiral, there is an Hr removed in going to cis-aconitate:
Figure 2
In elimination of water from citrate catalyzed by aconitase there must be anti-elimination to give cis-aconitate.
Figure 3
The addition reaction of water to cis-aconitate to give citrate (back reaction):
Figure 4
The reaction of addition of water to cis-aconitate to isocitrate. Thus C- is always attacked on the opposite side attack at C-3. Certain studies show that the pro-R proton removed from C-2 of citrate ends up at C-3 of isocitrate:
Figure 4
Overall stereochemistry of the aconitase-catalyzed reaction:
Figure 5
The proton removed from one substrate molecule can be transferred to a different substrate molecule (intermolecular). The OH exchange with solvent, but the proton removed not.
