Abstract excerpt
Qbeta replicase (RNA-directed RNA polymerase of bacteriophage Qbeta) exponentially amplifies certain RNAs in vitro. Previous studies have shown that Qbeta replicase can initiate and elongate on a variety of RNAs; however, only a minute fraction of them are recognized as 'legitimate' templates. Guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP)-dependent initiation on a legitimate template generates a stable replicative complex...
