Abstract excerpt
The stem-loop 2 motif (s2m) in SARS-CoV-2 (SCoV-2) is located in the 3'-UTR. Although s2m has been reported to display characteristics of a mobile genomic element that might lead to an evolutionary advantage, its function has remained unknown. The secondary structure of the original SCoV-2 RNA sequence (Wuhan-Hu-1) was determined by NMR in late 2020, delineating the base-pairing pattern and revealing substantial...
