Antiviral Therapy Targeting Viral Polymerase

Abstract excerpt

Viral DNA and RNA polymerases are enzymes, which are responsible for copying the genetic materials of viruses and are therefore central components in the life cycles of viruses. The polymerases are essentially required for the replication of viruses. The reverse transcriptase (RT) of the retroviruses and the hepadnaviruses is the sole viral enzyme required for the synthesis of DNA from viral RNA. Viral...
