Abstract excerpt
The kinetic, thermodynamic, and structural basis for fidelity of nucleic acid polymerases remains controversial. An understanding of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) fidelity has become a topic of considerable interest as a result of recent experiments that show that a 2-fold increase in fidelity attenuates viral pathogenesis and a 2-fold decrease in fidelity reduces viral fitness. Here we show that a...
