Summary

The structure of the prokaryotic glutamine synthetases type I and II, key enzymes in nitrogen metabolism, was determined several years ago by X-ray diffraction, and consists of a double hexameric ring, and the reconstructed tetramer suggests that it only contains two functional active sites.
