Adaptations found in RNA secondary structure in genes of two proteins of SARS-CoV-2 – News-Medical.Net
To investigate mutations in coronaviruses, a new study by scientists at Duke University and published on the preprint server bioRxiv, used a computational methodology, adaptiPhy, which identifies extra nucleotide substitutions in certain parts of the viral ge…
Modeling indicates that secondary structures of RNA in the genes encoding the Nsp4 and Nsp16 proteins of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are different from other related coronavirus species, and this may affect some viral molecular processes.
With the dramatic spread of COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, there has been a push to understand how a virus can infect new hosts and what makes it different from other coronaviruses.
One way of doing this is…
