This image depicts a concept that the Denison lab has been working on. One aspect that makes COVID-19 difficult to stop is that it has a proofreading mechanism protecting the replication of its RNA known as ExoN. It has been discovered that although 5FU, a common drug used to cause mutations, is blocked by ExoN, a drug known as Remdesivir is able to sneak around the ExoN bouncer.
