Length-dependent motions of SARS-CoV-2 frameshifting RNA pseudoknot and alternative conformations suggest avenues for frameshifting suppression
Modeling the SARS-CoV-2 frameshifting RNA element (FSE), a drug target against Covid-19, the authors analyze the dynamics of three FSE conformations at different lengths to propose a conformational transition pathway and describe anti-viral strategies.
