<p>Figure: Reaction of the isomerisation of citrate to isocitrate</p>

<p>In the second reaction of the Krebs cycle, the isomerisation of citrate to
isocitrate takes place. As an intermediate, <i>cis</i>-aconitate is formed. Therefore, it is a two-step reaction sequence. In the first step, H<sub>2</sub>O is removed from the cireate molecule (see Figure). Thie dehydration ledas to the intermediate, <i>cis</i>-aconitate which is bound to the enzyme. In the
second step, <i>cis</i>-aconitate is hydrated again. Therefore, the proton (from C2 to C3) and the OH group
(from C3 to C2) swap places. A tretiary aclohol is transformed into a secondary alcohol.</p>
<p>This conversion is of utmost importance for the subsequent decarboxylation, because a tertiary alcohol (the citrate) can not be directly oxidized to a keto
carboxylic acid.</p>
