Minimal requirements for template recognition by bacteriophage Qbeta replicase: approach to general RNA-dependent RNA synthesis.
Any oligo- or polynucleotide able to offer a C-C-C-sequence at the 3'-terminus and a second C-C-C-sequence in a defined steric position to Qbeta replicase is an efficient template. Corresponding chemical modifications convert non-template RNAs to template RNAs.
