Aconitase 2, mitochondrial is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACO2 gene.
The secondary structure of ACO2 consists of numerous alternating alpha helices and beta sheets (SCOP classification: α/β alternating). The tertiary structure reveals that the active site is buried in the middle of the enzyme, and, since there is only one subunit, there is no quaternary structure. Aconitase consists of four domains: three of the domains are tightly compact, and the fourth domain is more flexible, allowing for conformational changes. The ACO2 protein contains a 4Fe-4S iron-sulfur cluster. This iron sulfur cluster does not have the typical function of participating in oxidation-reduction reactions, but rather facilitates the elimination of the citrate hydroxyl group by holding the group in a certain conformation and orientation. It is at this 4Fe-4S site that citrate or isocitrate binds to initiate catalysis. The rest of the active site is made up of the following residues: Gln72, Asp100, His101, Asp165, Ser166, His167, His147, Glu262, Asn258, Cys358, Cys421, Cys424, Cys358, Cys421, Asn446, Arg447, Arg452, Asp568, Ser642, Ser643, Arg644, Arg580. Their functions have yet to be elucidated.
"Kiss" is a power ballad written and recorded by American nu metal band Korn, and produced by The Matrix and Atticus Ross for their untitled eighth studio album. It was released as the album's third and final single on April 7, 2008.
"Kiss" features Terry Bozzio on drums, who had provided for eight of the album's songs. Jonathan Davis also provided additional percussion for the song, along with "Hushabye". The song makes use of keyboards by Zac Baird, heavy drum patterns and violins. Allmusic described "Kiss" as "like [a] vaguely Beatlesque Mellotron," implying its difference from the rest of the album.
The song failed to chart worldwide due to its limited release in the United States.

Older than Kosciuszko
Darwin down to Alice Springs
Dealers in the clearinghouse
The settlements explode
High up in the homelands
Miners drive across the land
Encounter no resistance
When the people block the road
Older than Kosciuszko
Dry white seasons years ago
Darkness over Charleville
The fires begin to grow
No end to the hostility
Now they want to be somewhere else
No stranger to brutality
Now they'd like to be someone else
Older than Kosciuszko
Driven back to Alice Springs
Endless storm and struggle
Marks the spirit of the age
High up in the homelands
Celebration 'cross the land
Builds up like a cyclone
Now the fires begin to rage
Call off the ultimatum
No don't turn away
Call off the ultimatum until yesterday
Call off the ultimatum
No don't turn away
Bind up the brokenhearted
No don't turn away
Call off the ultimatum until yesterday
(Hirst/Moginie)
