Abstract excerpt
The herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA polymerase is composed of the UL30 catalytic subunit and the UL42 processivity factor. The UL42 subunit increases the processivity of the polymerase along the DNA template during replication. The molecular mechanisms of HSV resistance to drugs interfering with viral DNA synthesis reported so far mainly rely on modifications of the viral thymidine kinase and DNA polymerase. We...
