Popis: Remdesivir is an adenosine analogue that has a cyano substitution in the C1' position of the ribosyl moiety and a modified base structure to stabilize the linkage of the base to the C1' atom with its strong electron-withdrawing cyano group. Within the replication-transcription complex (RTC) of SARS-CoV-2, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase nsp12 selects remdesivir monophosphate (RMP) over adenosine monophosphate (AMP) for nucleotide incorporation but noticeably slows primer extension after the added RMP of the RNA duplex product is translocated by three base pairs. Cryo-EM structures have been determined for the RTC with RMP at the nucleotide-insertion (
