DNA, the blueprint of life on Earth, is a polymer. Like all polymers, it is made of individual building blocks (monomers), but how are these monomers produced? The ribonucleotide reductase enzyme is vital to the process. In this recent publication, the authors do an in-depth theoretical study of one of the key steps, a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), using QM/MM simulations in Q-Chem. They also assess the vibronic and electronic nonadiabaticity, with conclusions that can help scientists better understand these PCET reactions.
