Abstract excerpt
Viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRps) must balance replication speed with fidelity, preserving genome integrity while permitting enough variability for viral adaptation. The SARS-CoV-2 RdRp complex (non-structural protein 12/7/8) achieves this through the interplay of its intrinsic replication fidelity and a potential proofreading exonuclease complex (NSP10/14). Here, we comprehensively quantify the...
