A hot oxidant, 3-NO[subscript 2]Y[subscript 122] radical, unmasks conformational gating in reductase
Escherichia coli ribonucleotide reductase is an α2β2 complex that catalyzes the conversion of nucleotides to deoxynucleotides and requires a diferric-tyrosyl radical (Y[superscript •]) cofactor to initiate catalysis. The initiation process requires long-range proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET)...
