Ribonucleotide reductase
{
FunctionRibonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the formation of deoxyribonucleotides from ribonucleotides[1]. There are 3 classes of RNR.
For details on human RNR2 see P53R2. For mouse RNR see Mouse Ribonucleotide Reductase R2. RelevanceRNR inhibitors are studied as therapeutic antiviral, antibacterial and anti-cancer drugs[2]. Structural highlights |
