The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein is dynamic, disordered, and phase separates with RNA

SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein is responsible for viral genome packaging. Here the authors employ single-molecule spectroscopy with all-atom simulations to provide the molecular details of N protein and show that it undergoes phase separation with RNA.
