The programmed ribosomal frameshift (PRF) region is found in the RNA genome of all coronaviruses and shifts the ribosome reading frame through formation of a three-stem pseudoknot structure, allowing the translation of essential viral proteins. Using NMR spectroscopy, comparative sequence analyses and functional assays we show that, in the absence of the ribosome, a 123-nucleotide sequence encompassing the PRF element of SARS-CoV-2 adopts a well-defined two-stem loop structure that is conserved...

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the investigation of protein folding and misfolding, providing a characterization of molecular structure, dynamics and exchange processes, across a very wide range of timescales and with near atomic resolution. In recent years NMR methods have also been...

Proteins are involved in virtually every biological process and in order to function, it is necessary for these polypeptide chains to fold into the unique, native conformation. This folding process can take place rapidly. NMR line shape analyses and transverse relaxation measurements allow protein folding studies on a microsecond-to-millisecond...
