Structural highlights
Function
DNK_DROME Deoxyribonucleoside kinase that has a broad specificity phosphorylating thymidine, deoxyadenosine, deoxycytidine and deoxyguanosine. Specificity is higher for pyrimidine nucleosides. Several anti-viral and anti-cancer nucleoside analogs are also efficiently phosphorylated.[1] [2] [3]
