Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the formation of deoxyribonucleotides from ribonucleotides. There are 3 classes of RNR.

  • Class I RNR is a tetramer composed from large (RNR1) and small (RNR2) subunits. Class I RNR is iron-dependent and produces tyrosyl radical. Thimidine triphosphate (TTP) is an effector in the reaction.
  • Class II RNR reduces ribonucleotide triphosphates using coenzyme B12.
  • Class III RNR generate glycine radical using S-adenosyl methionine and Fe-S center.

For mouse RNR see Mouse Ribonucleotide Reductase R2.
For RNR small subunit with nitrotyrosine modification see Nitroltyrosine.
