Structural dynamics of single SARS-CoV-2 pseudoknot molecules reveal topologically distinct conformers
The RNA pseudoknot that stimulates programmed ribosomal frameshifting in SARS-CoV-2 is a possible drug target. To understand how it responds to mechanical tension applied by ribosomes, thought to play a key role during frameshifting, we probe its structural dynamics using optical tweezers. We find t...
