Structure of vaccinia virus thymidine kinase in complex with dTTP: insights for drug design
Background: Development of countermeasures to bioterrorist threats such as those posed by the smallpox virus (variola), include vaccination and drug development. Selective activation of nucleoside analogues by virus-encoded thymidine (dThd) kinases (TK) represents one of the most successful strategi...
