'''Ketol-acid reductoisomerase''' (KARI) is a bifunctional enzyme which catalizes two steps in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids. KARI catalyzes the isomerization of alkyls and the NADPH-dependent reduction of a 2-ketoacid<ref>PMID:15654896</ref>. There are two forms of KARI. A short form – '''Class I''' – found in fungi and most bacteria and a long form – '''Class II''' – found in plants. | '''Ketol-acid reductoisomerase''' (KARI) is a bifunctional enzyme which catalizes two steps in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids.
