A NEW RIBONUCLEOTIDE REDUCTASE SYSTEM AFTER INFECTION WITH PHAGE T4*

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The ribonucleotide reductase system of Escherichia coli B participates in the biosynthesis of DNA by reducing ribonucleoside diphosphates to the corresponding deoxyribonucleotides. The enzyme is regulated in a complicated way by allosteric modifiers. We now find that infection of E. coli with the bacteriophage T4 results in the appearance of a new ribonucleotide reductase system which shows a somewhat different pattern of regulation.
