RdRp in various coronaviruses are remarkably similar. For example, the RdRp of SARS-CoV exhibits ∼97% sequence similarity with that of SARS-CoV-2. More importantly, there is no human polymerase counterpart that resembles the sequence/structural homology with RdRp from coronaviruses, and hence, the development of RdRp inhibitors could be a potential therapeutic strategy without risk of crosstalk with human polymerases (Borgio et al., 2020; Subissi et al., 2014; Zhai et al., 2005). Very recently, Yin et al. reported the crystal structure RdRp of SARS-CoV-2 complexed with an antiviral drug, Remdesivir highlighting how the template-primer RNA is recognized by the polymerase enzyme and the chain elongation is inhibited by Remdesivir providing a basis for developing a wide range of effective inhibitors to overcome from SARS-CoV-2 infection (Yin et al., 2020). RdRp has been found to be an effective drug target for several other RNA viruses, spanning from the hepatitis C virus, zika virus to coronaviruses (Elfiky, 2017, 2019; Ganesan \u0026 Barakat, 2017). The active site of RdRp is highly conserved, and the catalytic domains contain two consecutive aspartate residues in a beta-turn joining β15 and β16 (Elfiky 2020c). The general structure of RdRp consists of 7 motifs (A to G) among them inner channel of catalytic sites represented by motif A to C, and they play a crucial role during the nucleotide addition cycle (Jia \u0026 Gong, 2019; Wu \u0026 Gong, 2018)."}
