Remdesivir and favipiravir are currently attracting attention as therapeutic agents against COVID-19. These drugs are thought to act on the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, a protein that replicates ...

RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is a key enzyme for SARS-CoV-2 genomic replication and transcription and, thus, for viral replication.

SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and RNA dependent RNA polymerase as targets for drug and vaccine development Compuscript Ltd The present pandemic has posed a crisis to the economy of the world and the ...

The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of the novel coronavirus is a complex that includes the small proteins nsp7 and nsp8. Researchers studying SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes ...

In a new study, a team of researchers compared the severity of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant to the Delta variant using the PCR proxy marker of RNA dependent RNA polymerase target delay.

What am I looking at? This is a 3D rendering of an RNA polymerase II enzyme from baker’s yeast, created using actual molecular data to reconstruct its shape and active sites. What looks like a ...

RNA polymerase IV and V Exclusively found in plants, RNA polymerase IV and V are transcription enzymes that evolved as specialized forms of RNA polymerase II 4. Both enzymes produce small interfering ...

The presence of mechanisms that copy RNA into RNA, typically associated with an enzyme called RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, has only been documented in plants and simple organisms, such as yeast ...

Instead of focusing exclusively on the spike protein, COVID-19 vaccines could also attend to another viral protein, the RNA polymerase that coronaviruses use to make copies of themselves.
