General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information comparative analyses of ribonucleotide reductase homologs. Results of homology modeling studies indicate that most of the bifidobacteria-specific conserved signature indels are located within the surface loops of the ribonucleotide reductases, and of these, a large 43 amino acid insert in the class III ribonucleotide reductase homolog forms an extension of the allosteric regulatory site known to be essential for protein function. Preliminary docking studies suggest that this large conserved signature indels may be playing a role in enhancing the stability of the RNR dimer complex Bifidobacterium longum
