  4. Translation of viral #RNAs is often driven by non-canonical events, which are encoded in the viral genome to hijack the cellular translation machinery. One such event is programmed ribosomal #frameshifting. It prompts the translating #ribosome to slip one nucleotide back or forth into a different reading frame, enabling viral replication. Researchers from the Helmholtz Institute Würzburg unveiled the structural transitions in the #SARSCoV2 frameshifting process. 🧬 👩‍🔬 🦠
