The active site of Glutamine synthetase is the result of the interactions between two adjacent subunits.
Here, Klentaq1's N-terminal, palm, fingers and thumb domains are yellow, magenta, green, and blue, respectively. The DNA is drawn in stick form colored according to atom type (template C cyan, primer C green, N blue, O red, and P orange). The primer's 3' ddC residue is shown in space-filling form as is the bound ddCTP, in which is C yellow.
Each Subunits contains two two ends, the C-terminus and the N-terminus. The Glutamine synthetase beta grasp domain(N-terminus), and the Glutamine synthetase catalytic domain (the C-terminus). In order to stabilize the molecule, the two domains are involved in the Van Der Walls , Hydrogen . The Beta Grasp  domain interact with the C-terminus of the next subunit.the two domains are proceeded by a meander of 3-24 residues that link the chains in the proteins core.

Klentaq1–Open conformation

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

Here, Klentaq1's N-terminal, palm, fingers and thumb domains are yellow, magenta, green, and blue, respectively. The DNA is drawn in stick form colored according to atom type (template C cyan, primer C green, N blue, O red, and P orange). The primer's 3' ddC residue is shown in space-filling form as is the bound ddCTP, in which is C yellow.
