In this final step, glutamine synthetase first reacts with gamma-glutamyl-cysteine to form an electrophilic acylphosphate intermediate by transfer of the gamma-phosphate of ATP to gamma-glutamylcysteine, and then the amino group of glycine acts as a nucleophile to attack the acylphosphate intermediate to form glutathione (28
