Abstract excerpt
The nucleocapsid component of SARS-CoV2 is involved in the viral genome packaging. GammaP.1(Brazil) and the 20 C-US(USA) variants had a high frequency of the P80R and P67S mutations respectively in the RNA-binding domain of the nucleocapsid. Since RNA-binding domain participates in the electrostatic interactions with the viral genome, the study of the effects of proline substitutions on the flexibility of the...
