Abstract excerpt
The nucleoside kinase (NK) from the mesophilic Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia thailandensis (BthNK) is a member of the phosphofructokinase B (Pfk-B) family and catalyzes the Mg(2+)- and ATP-dependent phosphorylation of a broad range of nucleosides such as inosine (INO), adenosine (ADO) and mizoribine (MZR). BthNK is currently used in clinical practice to measure serum MZR levels. Here, crystal structures of...
