The solution structure of the prototype foamy virus RNase H domain indicates an important role of the basic loop in substrate binding

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The ribonuclease H (RNase H) domains of retroviral reverse transcriptases play an essential role in the replication cycle of retroviruses. During reverse transcription of the viral genomic RNA, an RNA/DNA hybrid is created whose RNA...
