A hot oxidant, 3-NO(2)Y(122) radical, unmasks conformational gating in ribonucleotide reductase

Escherichia coli ribonucleotide reductase is an α2β2 complex that catalyzes the conversion of nucleotides to deoxynucleotides and requires a diferric-tyrosyl radical (Y•) cofactor to initiate catalysis. The initiation process requires long range proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) over 35 Å betw...
