The ICL homotetramer possesses 222 symmetry, with an axis of rotation at x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis of the enzyme. Two individual subunits of ICL are held together by a characteristic <scene name='69/697526/Helix_swapping/3'>Helix Swapping</scene> between three alpha helices formed by residues 370-384, 349-367, and 399-409 on neighboring monomers<ref name="ICL">PMID:10932251</ref>. The interlocking mechanism created by these helices provides additional strength to hold the two monomeric subunits together, allowing ICL to be composed of a dimer of dimers<ref name="ICL2"/>. This interaction will bury approximately 18% of the surface of each subunit, and will help to shield the interior binding site from hydration.

The two inhibitors used to elucidate the structure of ICL were 3-nitropropionate and 3-bromopyruvate. The 3-nitropropionate was used to mimic the succinate, while the 3-bromopyruvate is used to mimic the glyoxylate. These two inhibitors have also been shown to be good inhibitors of isocitrate lyase in ''M. avium'' indicating that their inhibitory capacity is conserved across multiple species<ref name="ICL">PMID:10932251</ref>.

Dehalogenated 3-bromopyruvate works to inhibit isocitrate lyase by forming a covalent bond with the Ser191 in the active site, which can be found crystallized here [[1f8m]].
