Three-dimensional structure of a type III glutamine synthetase by single particle reconstruction

by Van Rooyen, Jason Macrae

Abstract (Summary)

This study represented the first structural investigation of any type III glutamine synthetase (GS). The GS, GlnA, from the medically important opportunistic human pathogen Bacteroides fragilis was studied with a view to better understanding the function and regulation of this important enzyme.
