6-Substituted 7-Deazapurine Ribonucleosides Capable of Non-canonical Base Recognition as Inhibitors of Respiratory RNA Viruses
Most nucleoside antiviral analogues mimic canonical Watson−Crick base pairing to increase their likelihood of recognition and incorporation by replicative enzymes into a growing viral nucleic acid strand. Herein, we investigated whether non-canonical base recognition principles based on either shape complementarity o...
