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.
The in the backbone are shown in yellow.
