Protein Description
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) use a conserved radical-based mechanism to catalyze the conversion of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. Within the RNR family, class Ib RNRs are notable for being largely restricted to bacteria, including many pathogens, and for lacking an evolutionarily mobile ATP-cone domain that allosterically controls overall activity
Model Description
Ribonucleotide Reductase 6MT9 colored to visualize each monomer (tinted blue) of the larger dimer structure. The first 45 residues (light yellow) and C382 (red). ATP and ADP colored by atom type. 3D Printed in Full-color plastic.
