Thus, the overall reaction that aconitase catalyzes is: Citrate ←→cis-Aconitate←→Isocitrate, as seen below: | Thus, the overall reaction that aconitase catalyzes is: Citrate ←→cis-Aconitate←→Isocitrate, as seen below: | ||

A more stereochemical view at the reaction shows that the aconitate intermediate has to make a 180 degree flip in order to start the other half of the reaction: | |||
