“PRACE Digest” reported on the work of Kresten Lindorff-Larsen and Sandro Bottaro from the COVID19-NMR consortium.
“Predicting structural elements in the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome”
The non-coding regions of SARS-CoV-2 RNA play a decisive role in viral replication. Kresten Lindorff-Larsen and Sandro Bottaro of the University of Copenhagen have been using molecular dynamics simulations to predict the structure and dynamics of these regions in the hope that this will enable the development of drugs that target them.
