Thanks for the nice graph of the ribos reduction. But actually it's a Cystein, which is the radical amino acid (Cys439 in E.Coli numbering), not a Tyrosin. The Tyrosin (Tyr122) only 'stores' the radical in R2. 131.152.112.110 10:48, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I posted this in the peer review section, but since it's been a while since the request, I thought it might get buried. I may just end up making a few changes in a couple of days, but I wanted to make sure the original authors saw the commentary:
Holy text blocks, Batman! I wouldn't normally say an encyclopedia article has too much information, but... this has way too much information. It really looks like you just copied your thesis intro chapter wholesale, which makes it good scholarship but confusing to a general audience. Solidly referenced for the most part, but in need of significant rewriting to make it accessible to non-experts (and why would an expert be looking it up on Wikipedia?) Specifically:
Lastly, a content question - I don't believe RNR is the only enzyme that uses a radical-dependent mechanism. Completed Cytochrome c oxidase and chlorophyllide a oxygenase come to mind, I'm sure there are others.

Kudos for whoever wrote the Metabolic pathways section. Azileretsis ( talk) 14:59, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
I feel that the entire "Metabolic Pathways" section doesn't belong. It's tediously long and dense and it barely addresses RDR itself. It might be an effort to put RDR in a larger context but it falls on its face. The page won't be missing anything if it's removed. Higgyrun3 ( talk) 03:29, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
