In enzymology a glutamate-tRNAGln ligase (EC 6.1.1.24) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + L-glutamate + tRNAGlx AMP + diphosphate + glutamyl-tRNAGlxThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP L-glutamate and tRNAGlx whereas its 3 products are AMP diphosphate and glutamyl-tRNAGlx.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases to be specific those forming carbon-oxygen bonds in aminoacyl-tRNA and related compounds.
