Asparagine synthase (glutamine-hydrolysing) (EC 6.3.5.4, asparagine synthetase (glutamine-hydrolysing), glutamine-dependent asparagine synthetase, asparagine synthetase B, AS, AS-B) is an enzyme with systematic name L-aspartate:L-glutamine amido-ligase (AMP-forming).[1][2][3][4][5][6] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

ATP + L-aspartate + L-glutamine + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] AMP + diphosphate + L-asparagine + L-glutamate (overall reaction)
(1a) L-glutamine + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] L-glutamate + NH3
(1b) ATP + L-aspartate + NH3 [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] AMP + diphosphate + L-asparagine

The enzyme from Escherichia coli has two active sites.[6]
