Abstract excerpt
Frameshift and readthrough sites within retroviral messenger RNAs are often followed by nucleotide sequences that have the potential to form pseudoknot structures. In the work presented here, NMR methods were used to characterize the base-pairings and structural features of the RNA pseudoknot downstream of the gag-pro frameshift site of simian retrovirus type-1 (SRV-1) and a functional mutant of the SRV-1...
