Cryo-EM structures of Nipah virus polymerases and high-throughput biochemical RdRp assay development enable anti-NiV drug discovery [PDF]
The transcription and replication of Nipah virus (NiV) is driven by the large protein (L) and its essential co-factor phosphoprotein (P). L encodes all the viral enzymatic functions including RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) activity while P functions
