Once the template strand is bound and NTP entry tunnel is formed, we can find several conserved basic residues (<scene name='89/891374/Binding_to_gtp/2'>Arg 163, Lys 167, Arg 17</scene>4) that were previously described binding the RdRd to the template strand.

There is a kink at the top of the NTP entry tunnel which is stabilized by hydrogen bonding interactions involving Pro40, Glu47, and Arg49. these residues are higly conserved across picornaviruses , suggesting that the kink is common to all these viral polymerases.
