aconitase

noun

1. (countable, uncountable)Aconitate hydratase, an enzyme that catalyses the stereospecific isomerization of citrate to isocitrate via cis-aconitate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle.

   “The enzyme system bringing about the reversible hydration of cisaconitic acid has been shown to be different from fumarase and termed "aconitase".”

   “These are: aconitase, isocitric dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutaric dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, fumarase, malic dehydrogenase, DPHN-oxidase, and cytochrome oxidase.”

   “The best-characterized member of iron-sulfur isomerases is mitochondrial aconitase.”
