Abstract excerpt
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a causative agent of viral myocarditis, meningitis, pancreatitis, and encephalitis. Much of what is known about the coxsackievirus intracellular replication cycle is based on the information already known from a well-studied and closely related virus, poliovirus. Like that of poliovirus, the 5' noncoding region (5' NCR) of CVB3 genomic RNA contains secondary structures that function in...
