In enzymology a 2-isopropylmalate synthase (EC 2.3.3.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionacetyl-CoA + 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + H2O (2S)-2-isopropylmalate + CoAThe three substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate and H2O and its products are (2S)-2-isopropylmalate and CoA.The enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those acyltransferases that convert acyl groups into alkyl groups on transfer.
