Fumarase (fumarate hydratase) is an enzyme found in eukaryotic cells which catalyzes the reaction between L-malate and fumarate.<ref>PMID: 9098893</ref> The catalysis proceeds via the deprotination of the C3 carbon of L-malate, which is followed by the loss of the -OH group attached to the C2 carbon; the intermediate for which is a carbanion transition state.<ref>Voet, Donald, Judith G.
