The class I ribonucleotide reductase from uses a stable Mn/Fe cofactor to initiate nucleotide reduction by a free-radical mechanism. The enzyme provides the first example both of a Mn-dependent ribonucleotide reductase and of a Mn/Fe redox cofactor. In this work, we have used variable-field Mössbauer spectroscopy to demonstrate that the active cofactor has an = 1 ground state due to antiferromagnetic coupling between the Mn ( = 3/2) and high-spin Fe ( = 5/2) sites.
来自[具体来源未给出]的I类核糖核苷酸还原酶利用稳定的锰/铁辅因子,通过自由基机制启动核苷酸还原。该酶既是锰依赖性核糖核苷酸还原酶的首个实例,也是锰/铁氧化还原辅因子的首个实例。在这项工作中,我们利用可变场穆斯堡尔光谱证明,由于锰(S = 3/2)和高自旋铁(S = 5/2)位点之间的反铁磁耦合,活性辅因子具有S = 1的基态。
