Question
Chapter 25, Problem 50P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The way by which concentrations of four deoxyribonucleotides are maintained by ribonucleotide reductase, is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ribonucleotide reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. This enzyme removes 2’-OH group from the ribose ring of the nucleoside diphosphates. This results in the synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides. Then, these deoxyribonucleotides are used to synthesize DNA.
