Abstract excerpt
Mirror-image nucleosides, as potential antiviral drugs, can inhibit virus DNA polymerase to prevent virus replication. Conversely, they may be inserted into the DNA strands during DNA replication or transcription processes, leading to mutations that affect genome stability. Accumulation of significant mutation damage in cells may result in cell aging, apoptosis, and even uncontrolled cell division. We have...
