Abstract

Gao et al. determined a 2.7-Å resolution crystal structure of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) M2-1 protein in complex with a short positive-sense gene-end RNA. Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) simulations captured spontaneous binding of RNA to M2-1. The results provided a structural basis for RNA recognition by M2-1.
