Control of metallation and active cofactor assembly in the class Ia and Ib ribonucleotide reductases: diiron or dimanganese?

Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) convert nucleotides to deoxynucleotides in all organisms. Activity of the class Ia and Ib RNRs requires a stable tyrosyl radical (Y•), which can be generated by the reaction of O[subscript 2] with a diferrous cluster on the β subunit to form active diferric-Y• cofact...
