Aconitase converts citrate to isocitrate in a stereospecific manner despite citrate not being chiral. Why? Chirality of citrate is not important. Aconitase is chiral and binds to citrate in a chiral fashion. Aconitatse act only on one "enantiomeric" side of citrate. Aconitase acts only on one "enantiomeric" face of citrate because the enzyme is chiral.

NMR Spectroscopy

NMR stands for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in which the study of different molecules is done based on the interaction of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiations with the nuclei of molecules placed in a strong magnetic field. A precise study of spectra of visible light and all bands of electromagnetic radiation is called spectroscopy.
