Biochemical Characterization of Enzyme Fidelity of Influenza A Virus RNA Polymerase Complex

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It is widely accepted that the highly error prone replication process of influenza A virus (IAV), together with viral genome assortment, facilitates the efficient evolutionary capacity of IAV. Therefore, it has been logically assumed that the enzyme responsible for viral RNA replication process, influenza virus type A RNA polymerase (IAV Pol), is a highly error-prone polymerase which provides the...
