Kinetics of inactivation of the tyrosine radical of the B2 subunit of E. coli ribonucleotide reductase
Abstract
UV-VIS spectrophotometry has been used to study the reactivity of ten reductants with the tyrosine radical of the B2 subunit of ribonucleotide reductase at pH 6–9; charge (positive and negative) on both inorganic and organic reductants, was found to be inhibitory.
