CommentThis model represents the oxygen-sensitive (anaerobic, class III) ribonucleotide reductase. The mechanism of the enzyme involves a glycine-centered radical [1], a C-terminal zinc binding site [2], and a set of conserved active site cysteines and asparagines [3]. This enzyme requires an activating component, NrdG, a radical-SAM domain containing enzyme (TIGR02491). Together the two form an alpha-2/beta-2 heterodimer.
