Outline
Glutamine synthetase (GS) catalyzes the ATP dependent condensation of glutamate and ammonia, producing, glutamine, ADP, and an inorganic phosphate group.
Glutamate + ATP + NH3 → Glutamine + ADP + phosphate
Ammonium ion is thought to bind to GS at the monovalent cation binding site for Tl(+) and Cs(+) ions.
