Protein structural changes and tyrosyl radical-mediated electron transfer reactions in ribonucleotide reductase and model compounds

Tyrosyl radicals can facilitate proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions that are linked to catalysis in many biological systems. One such protein system is ribonucleotide reductase (RNR). This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. The beta2 su...
