The replication of the SARS-CoV-2’s genome is prompted by the presence of RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRp). A critical component necessary for RdRp’s proper functionality is an iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster that becomes integrated into the tertiary structure of the RdRp. RdRp requires the Fe-S cluster to replicate the SARS-CoV-2 genome, thus allowing the virus to proliferate and…
