May inform antiviral design for picornaviral myocarditis; leaves open validation in cardiac models.
Highlights the unique structural features of picornavirus RNA that require non-canonical translation initiation.
Belsham et al. (2000) conducted a review in Picornavirus. Picornavirus RNAs possess long, uncapped 5'-untranslated regions with complex secondary structures, indicating they are translated via a non-conventional mechanism.
