Abstract excerpt
Cytidine 5'-triphosphate (CTP) synthase catalyses the ATP-dependent formation of CTP from uridine 5'-triphosphate using either NH(3) or l-glutamine as the nitrogen source. The hydrolysis of glutamine is catalysed in the C-terminal glutamine amide transfer domain and the nascent NH(3) that is generated is transferred via an NH(3) tunnel [Endrizzi, J.A., Kim, H., Anderson, P.M. & Baldwin, E.P. (2004)...
