Upload an image of your answer to these questions. The carbon-carbon bond forming reaction of the citrate synthase reaction is an example of a Claisen Condensation, which is an equilibrium-controlled reaction, meaning that the reaction yields an equilibrium mix of products and reactants. Write out the mechanism for the citrate synthase reaction. Include the structures of all the substrates and products, and compound names, enzyme names, and include any necessary cofactors. (4 pts.) The overall ΔG value for the citrate synthase reaction is about −54 kJ/mol, which means it is strongly product favored. What is the source of the free energy that drives this reaction far in the forward direction? (2pts.)
