Question
Chapter 25, Problem 21P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The Active Model for glutamine synthetase and the formation of the GS dodecamer should be explained.
Concept introduction:
The microorganism GS (glutamine synthetase) dodecamer found in E.coli is made from identical 52-kD monomers. They’re organized into a stack of 2 hexagons. Additionally, there are a unit twelve active sites between every chemical compound for three completely different factors:
