Show abstract
The solution structure of SARS-CoV-2 nonstructural protein 7 (nsp7) at pH 7.0 has been determined by NMR spectroscopy. nsp7 is conserved in the coronavirinae subfamily and is an essential co-factor of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase for active and processive replication. Similar to the previously deposited structures of SARS-CoV-1 nsp7 at acidic and basic conditions, SARS-CoV-2 nsp7 has a helical bundle folding at neutral pH. Remarkably, the 4 helix shows gradual dislocation from the core 2-3 structure as pH increases from 6.5 to 7.5. The protonation state of residue H36 contributes to the change of nsp7s intramolecular interactions, and thus, to the structural variation near-neutral pH. Spin-relaxation results revealed that all three loop regions in nsp7 possess dynamic properties associated with this structural variation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
