Abstract excerpt
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase from Escherichia coli catalyzes the formation of carbamoyl phosphate from bicarbonate, glutamine, and two molecules of ATP. The enzyme consists of a large synthetase subunit, and a small amidotransferase subunit, which belongs to the Triad family of glutamine amidotransferases. Previous studies have established that the reaction mechanism of the small subunit proceeds through the...
