Title: Mechanisms of inhibition of viral RNA replication by nucleotide analogs Cord-id: l1wbogfq Document date: 2021_9_27
ID: l1wbogfq
Snippet: Nucleotide analogs are the cornerstone of direct acting antivirals used to control infection by RNA viruses. Here we review what is known about existing nucleotide/nucleoside analogs and the kinetics and mechanisms of RNA and DNA replication, with emphasis on the SARS-CoV-2 RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) in comparison to HIV reverse transcriptase and Hepatitis C RdRp. We demonstrate how accurate kinetic analysis reveals surprising results to explain the effectiveness of antiviral nucleoside
