'''Glutamate synthase''' (GS) is an iron-sulfur flavoprotein which catalyzes the reverse reaction which converts L-glutamine, 2-oxoglutarate and NADPH to L-glutarate and NADP. | '''Glutamate synthase''' (GS) is an iron-sulfur flavoprotein which catalyzes the reverse reaction which converts L-glutamine, 2-oxoglutarate and NADPH to L-glutarate and NADP. | ||
