Hydroxyurea-resistant Aedes albopictus mosquito cells were selected by incremental exposure of unmutagenized cells to hydroxyurea concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 8 mM. Clonal populations that had become 40-fold more resistant to hydroxyurea than wild-type cells varied in morphology, and their gro

## Abstract The kinetic properties of partially purified ribonucleotide reductase from Chinese hamster ovary cells have been investigated. Double reciprocal plots of velocity against substrate concentration were found to be linear for three the substrates tested, and yielded apparent Km values of 0
Mammalian ribonucleotide reductase catalyzes the rate-limiting for the de novo synthesis 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphates. There is some suggestion that this step may also be the rate-limiting step of DNA synthesis. It is apparent that the level of the enzyme, ribonucleotide reductase, varies
## Abstract We describe the isolation and characterization of a Chinese hamster ovary cell line selected for resistance to Nβcarbamoyloxyurea. Using the mammalian cell permeabilization assay developed in our laboratory, a detailed analysis of the target enzyme, ribonucleotide reductase (EC 1.17.4.1
