Question
Chapter 26, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Explanation about the ribonucleotide reductase has the capacity to convert UDP to dUDP.
Concept introduction:
Conversion of NDP to dNDP happens with the utilization of ribonucleotide enzyme to product dUDP. The dUDP will then be phosphorylated to dUTP. dUTP are often reborn to dUMP by the accelerator diphosphohydrose dUMP will then by be alkyl radical by the enzyme ethymdylate synthase to make nucleoside.
