			His193 shifts the pKa of Cys191 and removes its proton. This allows Cys191 to extract a proton from the hydroxyl group of isocitrate. The resulting oxyanion forms a carbonyl and forces the lysis of a C-C bond. Glyoxylate and the enol form of succinate are formed and stabilized with a Mg<sup>2+</sup> ion. The succinate enolate resonates and extracts the proton back from Cys191 to form succinate.
