Abstract excerpt
Ribonucleotide reductase (RDPR) from Escherichia coli is composed of two subunits, R1 and R2, and catalyzes the conversion of nucleotides to deoxynucleotides. The mechanism of inactivation of RDPR by 2'-azido-2'-deoxynucleoside 5'-diphosphate (N3UDP) has been examined using a variety of isotopically labeled derivatives: (1'-, 2'-, 3'-, or 4'-[2H])-N3UDPs and 2'-[15N3, 13C]-N3UDP.
