Kinetics of radical intermediate formation and deoxynucleotide production in 3-aminotyrosine-substituted Escherichia coli ribonucleotide reductases

Escherichia coli ribonucleotide reductase is an α2β2 complex and catalyzes the conversion of nucleoside 5′-diphosphates (NDPs) to 2′-deoxynucleotides (dNDPs). The reaction is initiated by the transient oxidation of an active-site cysteine (C[subscript 439]) in α2 by a stable diferric tyrosyl radical...
