Abstract excerpt
Programmed ribosomal frameshifting in Simian retrovirus-1 (SRV-1) is sensitive to the mechanical properties of an RNA pseudoknot. Unravelling these mechanical intricacies via unfolding reveals fundamental insights into their structural dynamics. Using constant velocity steered molecular dynamics (CV-SMD) simulations, we explored the unfolding dynamics and the impact of mutations on the unfolding pathway of the...
