Glutamine synthetase from Salmonella typhimurium is the 12-subunits enzyme and has 23 helix-helix interactions involving helices of chain A with four different types of interactions.

The two layers of subunits are held together largely by the apolar COOH terminus, a helical thong, which inserts into a hydrophobic pocket formed by two neighboring subunits on the opposite ring. Also between layers, there is a hydrogen-bonded beta sheet interaction, as there is between subunits within a ring, but hydrophobic interactions account for most of the intersubunit stability. The central loop, which extends into the central aqueous channel, is subject to attack by at least five enzymes and is discussed as an enzyme "passive site."}[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2572586?dopt=Abstract] | |||
Helix-helix interactions are the only interaction that can affect the folding of the proteins in Salmonella typhimurium. <scene name='Sandbox108/Hydrophobic/1'>Hydrophobic(purple)</scene> and <scene name='Sandbox108/Polar/1'>polar(blue)</scene> regions of the protein residues are on the helices of chain A. Also, uncharged polar groups are usually classified as hydrophilic that is found on the outside of proteins, but for glutamine in Salmonella typhimurium its side chain is uncharged and formed by replacing the hydroxyl of glutamic acid with an amine functional group.
