Structures of SARS-CoV-2 NTD and CTD. a Cartoon representation of SARS-CoV-2 NTD. b The electrostatic surface potential of SARS-CoV-2 NTD. Red and blue colours indicate negative and positive potential, respectively. The RNA-binding sites are highlighted in dotted circles and labelled. c Topology diagram for SARS-CoV-2 NTD; β represents the β-sheet and η represents the 310 helix. d Cartoon representation of SARS-CoV-2 CTD. e The electrostatic surface potential of SARS-CoV-2 CTD. Red and blue colours indicate negative and positive potential, respectively. f Topology diagram for SARS-CoV-2 CTD; α represents the α-helices, β represents the β-sheet and η represents the 310 helix
