NS5B, like other RNA dependent RNA polymerases, is error prone, this viral RNA replicase is of approximately a million times lower fidelity than a replicative prokayrotic or eukaryotic DNA polymerase. This is due in part to the fact that NS5B contains no exonuclease or proofreading domain. The proposed mechanism for NS5B polymerization of monomers of RNA triphosphates to extend a primer strand, that may have initiated de novo, is via two divalent cations coordinated by carboxyl groups as seen in DNA polymerases.

RNA Dependent RNA Polymerase from Hepatitis C Virus

seen here.
Though Hepatitis C virus is of the Flaviviridae family the structure of NS5B is similar to the polymerase of bacteriophage ø 6. The similarity to the bacteriophage polymerase is due to NS5B containing a fully encircled active site. Like many template-dependent nucleotide polymerases, NS5B can be visualized similar to a right hand. NS5B contains several , fingers in blue, palm in magenta, thumb in green and a c-terminal domain in yellow. The palm domain contains the active site aspartates and there are several contacts between the fingers and thumbs domain that give the active site an encircled structure. There is a that is proposed to move upon formation of exiting double stranded RNA.

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