Citrate synthase exists in nearly all cells, and is responsible for catalyzing the first reaction in the citric acid cycle: the condensation of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate to form citrate. Citrate synthase consists of 437 amino acids, which are organized in to two identical subunits. Citrate synthase is considered a <scene name='56/563201/Homodimer/1'>homodimer</scene> of a single amino acid chain monomer, this makes up its tertiary structure.

Citrate synthase exists in nearly all cells, and is responsible for catalyzing the first reaction in the citric acid cycle: the condensation of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate to form citrate. Citrate synthase consists of 437 amino acids, which are organized in to two identical subunits. Citrate synthase is considered a of a single amino acid chain monomer, this makes up its tertiary structure. Each subunit consists of 20 alpha-helicies. Alpha-helicies make up the majority of the enzymes , with few beta sheets. The a- helicies are represented in purple, while the B- sheets are in blue.
Here in the backbone are depicted in yellow. Hydrogen bonding is what holds the molecule together, most notably the secondary structure. Based on the hydrogen bonding in the beta sheets, it is evident, by the straight hydrogen bonds, that they are anti-parallel to each other.
Here the , depicted in gray,are in the interior of the enzyme, while the , depicted in pink, are on the outer surface of the enzyme.
