In summary, the binding characteristics determined here help rationalize RDRP-targeted drug discovery and provide insights into the specific binding mechanisms important for containing the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In sum, structurally, SARS-CoV-2 has high global/ core structural similarity to the RDRP catalytic domains of all other RNA viruses, which provides an opportunity for structure-based COVID-19 drug design and repurposing, noting that keys differences lie in the subtle details. According to the similarity of functionsite interaction fingerprints over all complexes, it was possible to divide the binding modes into four classes, where each class contains multiple PDB structures from different kinds of viruses (Table 1) . ./cache/cord-290802-761wqgbe.txt ./txt/cord-290802-761wqgbe.txt
