Function of the Diiron Cluster of Escherichia coli Class Ia Ribonucleotide Reductase in Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer

The class Ia ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) from Escherichia coli employs a free-radical mechanism, which involves bidirectional translocation of a radical equivalent or "hole" over a distance of ~35 Å from the stable diferric/tyrosyl-radical (Y[subscript 122]•) cofactor in the β subunit...
