Viral Polymerases: Structures, Functions and Roles as Antiviral Drug Targets
presents in-depth study information on the structure and functions of
polymerases and their roles in the lifecycle of viruses, and as drug
targets. Viral polymerases constitute a vital component in the lifecycle
of many viruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis
viruses, influenza virus, and several others. They are essentially
required for the replication of viruses. Thus, the polymerases that can
be found in viruses (called viral polymerases) represent favorable
targets for the design and development of antiviral drugs.
- Provides
comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage on virus infections, the virus
lifecycle, and mechanisms of polymerase inhibition
- Analyzes the structure-activity relationships of inhibitors of each viral polymerase
- Presents
a consistent and comprehensive coverage of all aspects of viral
polymerases, including structure, function and their role as antiviral
drug targets
