<applet load='2HAI_DNA5.pdb' size='400' frame='true' align='left' caption='Figure 2. PDB IDs 2HAI (protein) 1RTD (DNA)' />Figure 2 is a model of NS5B with B form DNA.  DNA was modeled into the NS5B model by aligning of palm domain of NS5B and the palm domain of HIV reverse transcriptase, which was co-crystallized in complex with DNA and an incoming dTTP. Then removing the protein portion HIV RT model while leaving the DNA where it fell into the proposed NS5B binding cleft. Looking closely at the <scene name='NS5B/Ns5b_with_dna/1'>active site</scene> the catalytic Mg2+ ions are modeled in green, these would be coordinated by the three aspartic acid carboxylates, (D220, D318 and D319). A <scene name='NS5B/Ns5b_with_dna/2'>beta-hairpin</scene> (residues 440-455) in the thumb domain has been shifted to accommodate DNA, the hairpin is modeled into the minor groove, a possible binding site, particularly in the larger minor goove of dsRNA.

The template strand is seen entering through a gap in the fingers domain. An incoming dTTP that would extend the primer strand lines up with the NS5B active site and duplex DNA exits the enzyme through the large central hole.
