The structure reveals a unique N-terminal domain, in addition to the fingers, palm and thumb domains common to other polymerases. The GTP complex identified a new GTP-specific binding site, probably required for the initiation of RNA synthesis.

James Crystal structures of the RNA dependent RNA polymerase genotype 2a of hepatitis C virus reveal two conformations and suggest mechanisms of inhibition by non nucleoside inhibitors J Biol Chem 280 2005 18202 18210 Two different conformations of the HCV RDRP are reported. The first corresponds to the 'closed' conformation reported in [ 3-5 ]. The second is a more 'open' conformation, in which the connection between the fingers and thumb domains is disrupted, and is believed to be an inactive form of the enzyme. The authors also show how some allosteric inhibitors work by freezing the enzyme in the open inactive conformation.
