## Abstract In order to understand the nature of ATP and Lโglutamate binding to glutamine synthetase, and the involvement of Arg 339 and Arg 359 in catalysis, these amino acids were changed to cysteine via siteโdirected mutagenesis. Individual mutations (Arg โ Cys) at positions 339 and 359 led to a
