Term Name:	citrate (Si)-synthase activity
Synonyms:	(R)-citric synthase activity, acetyl-CoA:oxaloacetate C-acetyltransferase [thioester-hydrolysing, (pro-S)-carboxymethyl forming], citrate condensing enzyme activity, citrate oxaloacetate-lyase ((pro-3S)-CH(2)COO(-)->acetyl-CoA) activity, citrate oxaloacetate-lyase ((pro-3S)-CH2COO-rightacetyl-CoA), citrate oxaloacetate-lyase [(pro-3S)-CH2COOrightacetyl-CoA], citrate oxaloacetate-lyase, CoA-acetylating activity, citrate synthase activity, citrate synthetase activity, citric synthase activity, citric-condensing enzyme activity, citrogenase activity, condensing enzyme activity, oxalacetic transacetase activity, oxaloacetate transacetase activity
Definition:	Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + H2O + oxaloacetate = citrate + CoA, where the acetyl group is added to the si-face of oxaloacetate; acetyl-CoA thus provides the two carbon atoms of the pro-S carboxymethyl group.
