Abstract
Deoxyribonucleotides are formed de novo by direct reduction of the corresponding ribonucleotides. The reduction of ribonucleotides is a stepwise process in which transfer of electrones from NADPH takes place first to thioredoxin and from it to ribonucleotides. The first step is catalysed by thioredoxin reductase and the second by ribonucleotide reductase.
