Fig. 1. Structure of FMDV 3D catalytic complexes. Molecular surface of the polymerase (gray) is shown, with the position of the rNTP substrates and the trajectory of RNA template–primer and duplex product in two different complexes: the 3D·GCAUGGGCCC·ATP/UTP (A) and the 3D·GCAUGGGCCC-RTP (B). The N-terminal residues (residues 34–48) and residues at the top of the NTP tunnel (163–180) of 3D are omitted to show the substrate cavities. RNA molecules are shown in yellow (template strands) and green (primer strands). (A) The UTP substrate is shown in cyan. (B) The position of the antiviral mutagen RTP is shown in orange. Metal ions are shown as red spheres.
