mutant C9S/C45S/C59S/C146S in complex with D-2'-deoxycytidine and ADP, L-2'-deoxycytidine and ADP, and with 5-fluoro-1-(2R,5S)-[2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl]cytosine, i.e. emtricitabine, and ADP. The ability of deoxycytidine kinase to phosphorylate the beta-form of enantiomeric nucleosides is due to both the nature of the enzymes active site and the nature of the substrates. Most of the binding interactions between substrate and enzyme are directed at the base moiety of the nucleoside |
