Abstract excerpt
Positive-strand RNA viruses within the Picornaviridae family express an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, 3D(pol), that is required for viral RNA replication. Structures of 3D(pol) from poliovirus, coxsackievirus, human rhinoviruses, and other picornaviruses reveal a putative template RNA entry channel on the surface of the enzyme fingers domain. Basic amino acids and tyrosine residues along this entry channel are...
