Mutagenic and inhibitory effects of ribavirin on hepatitis C virus RNA polymerase.

Biochemistry - 9 Sept 2003

Vo Nam V, Young Kung-Chia, Lai Michael M C

Abstract excerpt

Crotty et al. recently proposed the primary antiviral action of ribavirin to be that of a potent RNA mutagen [Crotty, S., Maag, D., Arnold, J. J., Zhong, W., Lau, J. Y., Hong, Z., Andino, R., and Cameron, C. E. (2000) Nat. Med. 6, 1375-1379]. Here we investigate the effect of ribavirin triphosphate (RTP) on RNA synthesis catalyzed by a full-length hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA polymerase in vitro. HCV polymerase...
