Abstract excerpt
The ferrous iron/oxygen reconstitution reaction in protein R2 of mouse and Escherichia coli ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) leads to the formation of a stable protein-linked tyrosyl radical and a mu-oxo-bridged diferric iron center, both necessary for enzyme activity. We have studied the reconstitution reaction in three protein R2 mutants Y177W, Y177F, and Y177C of mouse RNR to investigate if other residues at the...
