Reaction: ATP + 2'-deoxyribonucleoside = ADP + 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-phosphate
Other names: multispecific deoxynucleoside kinase; ms-dNK; multisubstrate deoxyribonucleoside kinase; multifunctional deoxynucleoside kinase; D. melanogaster deoxynucleoside kinase; Dm-dNK
Systematic name: ATP:deoxyribonucleoside 5'-phosphotransferase
Comments: The enzyme from embryonic cells of Drosophila melanogaster differs from other 2'-deoxyribonucleoside kinases [EC 2.7.1.76 (2'-deoxyadenosine kinase) and EC 2.7.1.113 (deoxyguanosine kinase)] in its broad specificity for all four common deoxynucleosides.
