The cover highlights the dynamic structure of the stem-loop II (s2m) RNA hairpin terminal loop (color gradient) in the SARS-CoV-2 genome, as revealed by molecular dynamics simulations and conformational analysis. The flexible nonaloop containing a palindromic sequence and possibly being involved in the formation of s2m kissing complexes was calculated to have higher absolute entropy than the rigidly pre-organized SARS-CoV s2m (creator: Adam Kensinger).

One of the COVID studies that Dr. Lackey worked on as a co-author with the Duquesne chemistry department is on the cover of ACS Physical Chemistry Au!聽
