Abstract excerpt
Passage of poliovirus (PV) or foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in the presence of ribavirin selected for viruses with decreased sensitivity to R, which included different mutations in their polymerase (3D): G64S located in the finger subdomain in the case of PV and M296I located within loop beta9-alpha11 at the active site in the case of FMDV. To investigate why disparate substitutions were selected in two...
