Ribonucleoside-triphosphate reductase (EC 1.17.4.2, ribonucleotide reductase, 2'-deoxyribonucleoside-triphosphate:oxidized-thioredoxin 2'-oxidoreductase) is an enzyme with systematic name 2'-deoxyribonucleoside-triphosphate:thioredoxin-disulfide 2'-oxidoreductase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate + thioredoxin disulfide + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] ribonucleoside triphosphate + thioredoxin

Ribonucleoside-triphosphate reductase requires a cobamide coenzyme and ATP.
