Abstract excerpt
Many RNA viruses encode a proof-reading deficient, low-fidelity RNA-dependent polymerase (RdRp), which generates genetically diverse populations that can adapt to changing environments and thwart antiviral therapies. 3Dpol, the RdRp of the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), is responsible for replication of viral genomes. The 3Dpol N terminus encodes a nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequence,MRKTKLAPT,...
