Modelling the three-dimensional structure of the right-terminal domain of pospiviroids

Abstract Viroids, the smallest know plant pathogens, consist solely of a circular, single-stranded, non-coding RNA. Thus for all of their biological functions, like replication, processing, and transport, they have to present sequence or structural features to exploit host proteins. Viroid binding p...
