Abstract excerpt
Ribonucleotide reductase catalyzes the reduction of ribonucleotides to their corresponding deoxyribonucleotides via a radical-mediated mechanism. The enzyme from Escherichia coli consists of the two non-identical proteins, R1 and R2, the latter of which contains the necessary free radical located to a tyrosine residue. The radical scavenger hydroxyurea was found to reduce the tyrosyl radical of R2 in a...
