Abstract excerpt
The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of the hepatitis C virus and the bovine viral diarrhea virus(BVDV)is able to initiate RNA synthesis denovo in the absence of a primer. Previous crystallographic data have pointed to the existence of a GTP-specific binding site (G-site) that is located in the vicinity of the active site of the BVDV enzyme. Here we have studied the functional role of the G-site and present evidence...
