This study investigates the antiviral activity and mechanism of 4'-fluoroadenosine against viral and host polymerases, showing broad-spectrum inhibition and potential for drug development.

The paper shows that the Q226H mutation in H5N1 hemagglutinin allows binding to human-type a2-6 sialic acid receptors, suggesting a path towards human adaptation.

The paper shows that the SARS-CoV-2 polymerase core RTC undergoes a conformational change after RNA binding to become elongation-competent, which is essential for viral RNA synthesis.

This study uses a single-molecule assay to analyze the binding dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 polymerase complex subunits with RNA, revealing differences in binding stability between co-expressed and reconstituted complexes and the effects of inhibitors.

This study investigates how a 4'-cyano modified nucleotide analog inhibits RNA polymerases of respiratory viruses, showing varying efficiency across different viral species.
