NS5B, like other RNA dependent RNA polymerases, is error prone, it is approximately a million times lower fidelity than a replicative prokayrotic or eukaryotic DNA polymerase. This is due in part to the fact that NS5B contains no exonuclease or proofreading domain. The proposed mechanism for NS5B polymerization of monomers of RNA triphosphates to extend a primer strand, that may have initiated de novo, is via two divalent cations coordinated by carboxyl groups as seen in DNA polymerases.
