Abstract excerpt
Ribonucleotide reductase (RDPR) from Escherichia coli catalyzes the conversion of nucleotides to deoxynucleotides and is composed of two homodimeric subunits: R1 and R2. (E)- and (Z)-2'-fluoromethylene-2'-deoxycytidine 5'-diphosphate (FMCDP) are time dependent inactivators of this protein, with approximately 1.5 equiv being sufficient for complete loss of catalytic activity. Inactivation results from loss of the...
