Abstract excerpt
The crystal structure of the recombinant hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) revealed extensive interactions between the fingers and the thumb subdomains, resulting in a closed conformation with an established template channel that should specifically accept single-stranded templates. We made circularized RNA templates and found that they were efficiently used by the HCV RdRp to synthesize...
