Structural Analysis of the Mn(IV)/Fe(III) Cofactor of Chiamydia trachomatis Ribonucleotide Reductase by Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory Calculations.

The class Ic ribonucleotide reductase from Chiamydia trachomatis (Ct) uses a stable Mn(lV)/Fe(lll) cofactor to initiate nucleotide reduction by a free-radical mechanism. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy and density functional theory (OFT) calculations are used to postula...
