Human thymidylate kinase complex with HIV prodrug AZTP, ADP and Mg+2 ion (green) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Contents 1 Function 2 Relevance 3 Structural highlights 4 3D Structures of thymidylate kinase Function Thymidylate kinase (TMK) catalyzes the conversion of thymidine-5’-phosphate (dTMP) and ATP to thymidine-5’-diphosphate and ADP. TMK is important for DNA synthesis[1]. Inhibitors of TMK include bisubstrate compounds of the type TP(n)X where P(n) are the number of phosphoryl groups and X is the nucleoside moiety of the acceptor. For more details see Student Project 8 for UMass Chemistry 423 Spring 2015. Relevance The TMK inhibitor azido-dTMP (AZTP) is an HIV AZT prodrug metabolite[2]. Inhibitors of TMK are used as antibacterial agents[3]. Structural highlights The active site of TMK contains HIV prodrug azido-thymidine, ADP and Mg+2 ion[4]. . Water molecules are shown as red spheres. . . . 3D Structures of thymidylate kinase Thymidylate kinase 3D structures
