Ribonucleotide reductase activity in ether-treated cells of Agmenellum quadruplicatum.

F K Gleason, J M Wood
PMCID: PMC232809  PMID: 824283

Abstract

Ribonucleotide (cytidine 5'-diphosphate) reductase activity can be detected in situ in cells of the blue-green alga Agmenellum quadruplicatum, strain PR-6, after the cells are made permeable by treatment with ether. The Agmenellum reductase resembles the enzyme from Escherichia coli.
