SARS-CoV-2 backtracked complex, molecular model

---

SARS-CoV-2 backtracked complex, molecular model, molecular model. The image shows the two RNA strands (blue, green), the RNA-directed RNA polymerase (yellow) and the non-structural proteins 7 (magenta) and 8 (red and cyan). RNA polymerase is a ratchet machine that oscillates between productive and backtracked states at numerous RNA positions. The amount of backtracking (reversible sliding of the enzyme along RNA) varies from one to many nucleotides.
