Modelling the structures of frameshift-stimulatory pseudoknots from representative bat coronaviruses.

Coronaviruses (CoVs) use -1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting stimulated by RNA pseudoknots in the viral genome to control expression of enzymes essential for replication, making CoV pseudoknots a promising target for anti-coronaviral drugs. Bats represent one of the largest reservoirs of CoVs and...
