Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Activity: Ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase, with EC number 1.17.4.1 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum Function [RIR1_ECOLI] Provides the precursors necessary for DNA synthesis. Catalyzes the biosynthesis of deoxyribonucleotides from the corresponding ribonucleotides. R1 contains the binding sites for both substrates and allosteric effectors and carries out the actual reduction of the ribonucleotide. It also provides redox-active cysteines.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Ribonucleotide reductase is the only enzyme that catalyses de novo formation of deoxyribonucleotides and is thus a key enzyme in DNA synthesis. The radical-based reaction involves five cysteins. Two redox-active cysteines are located at adjacent antiparallel strands in a new type of ten-stranded alpha/beta-barrel, and two others at the carboxyl end in a flexible arm. The fifth cysteine, in a loop in the centre of the barrel, is positioned to initiate the radical reaction.
