Abstract excerpt
Several SARS-CoV-2 variants have evolved with clinical relevance due to their structural and functional impact on viral proteins and genomic RNA structures. A comprehensive structural and functional characterization of single-nucleotide variations in the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of SARS-CoV-2 has remained elusive. The co-evolution of 5'-UTR stem-loop 1 (SL1) and non-structural protein (nsp) 1 mutants are of...
