After entering cells, viruses use the host cell machinery to transcribe their viral DNA into RNA or make new copies of their RNA, which will then be translated into proteins that are needed for virus function and replication. There has been a lot of interest and some progress in the development of anti-viral drugs that act to halt the viral replication cycle. Do you think it would effective to target a drug to cellular RNA polymerase to halt viral replication? Why or Why not?
