Prokaryotic Glutamine Synthetase Tertiary Structure: PFam domains

-(describe structure of protein leading in to a single chain) -each chain contains 2 domains, the Glutamine synthetase beta grasp domain, and the glutamine synthetase catalytic domain. -the two domains are preceeded by a meander of 3-24 residues that link the chains in the proteins core.

  Beta Grasp domain
 -comprised of residues 43-123(verification needed for using structure viewer)
 -binds glutamate, ammonia, and ATP

<show protein alignment image> <show structure of the domain in viewer>

 Catalytic domain
 -comprised of residues 129-382
 -how it functions is not described, more research is necessary here

<show alignment image> <show structure of the domain in viewer>


 Active site
 -there are 10 active sites in the decamer of the protein, each formed from the beta grasp domain of one chain and the catalytic domain of the neighboring chain. 

<show relation between chains, domains, and active sites with viewer> -describe visually the important aspects of the active site <show active site and ligands relationship, may need multiple scenes>
