Question

Figure 1 above shows that remdesivir “mimics” an important component of RNA replication. Which component of RNA replication has a structure similar to that of remdesivir?

Remdesivir is an antiviral drug with potential to treat SARS-CoV-2 infections. It is a broad-
spectrum antiviral, meaning it has activity against many different viruses. Remdesivir can be
incorporated into a new RNA chain as a virus replicates and can interfere with the viral
replication machinery.
