Difference between Glutamine synthetase and Nitrogen fixation

Glutamine synthetase vs. Nitrogen fixation

Glutamine synthetase (GS) is an enzyme that plays an essential role in the metabolism of nitrogen by catalyzing the condensation of glutamate and ammonia to form glutamine: Glutamate + ATP + NH3 → Glutamine + ADP + phosphate Glutamine Synthetase uses ammonia produced by nitrate reduction, amino acid degradation, and photorespiration. Nitrogen fixation is a process by which nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3) or other molecules available to living organisms.

Similarities between Glutamine synthetase and Nitrogen fixation

Glutamine synthetase and Nitrogen fixation have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adenosine triphosphate, Amino acid, Ammonia, Ammonium, Frankia, Glutamic acid, Nitrogen, Nucleotide, Prokaryote.

Adenosine triphosphate

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a complex organic chemical that participates in many processes.
