SUMMARY
The nucleocapsid protein N of SARS-CoV-2 plays a pivotal role in the viral life cycle. This region possesses a peculiar amino_acid composition ( different properties. Differently from the two arginine-rich regions involved in the interaction with RNA (32-46 and 177-203), the 216-225 region does not present positively charged amino_acids but has a highly hydrophobic nature resulting from branched-chain amino_acids such as leucine. This hydrophobic stretch of 8 amino_acids flanked by two negatively charged residues (Asp 216 and Asp 225) is likely to be engaged in transient interactions with . . .
