Stoichiometry
The stoichiometry of Glutamine Synthetase is as follows: Glutamate + NHз + ATP --> Glutamine + ADP + Pi + H+
In this reaction, Glutamate is used as a major reactant and ATP is used for energy to form Glutamine. It should be noted that along with the enzyme, Me+ which can be either manganese or magnesium is used as a catalyst.
This is however, a 2-step reaction. In the first step of this reaction, an intermediate Υ-glutamyl phosphate is formed. The formation of the intermediate is done by phosphoryl transfer an ATP group Y-carboxylate group of glutamate. In the second step of this reaction, NHз attacks the activated intermediate to release the phosphate group yielding Glutamine.
