Insight into the Mechanism of Inactivation of Ribonucleotide Reductase by Gemcitabine 5'-Diphosphate in the Presence or Absence of Reductant

Gemcitabine 5'-diphosphate (F[subscript 2]CDP) is a potent inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs), enzymes that convert nucleotides (NDPs) to deoxynucleotides and are essential for DNA replication and repair. The Escherichia coli RNR, an α2β2 complex, when incubated with 1 equiv of F[sub...
