  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The SARS-CoV-2 (SCoV-2) virus is the causative agent of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It contains a positive sense single-stranded RNA genome and belongs to the genus of Betacoronaviruses. The 5′- and 3′-genomic ends of the 30 kb SCoV-2 genome are potential antiviral drug targets. Major parts of these sequences are highly conserved among Betacoronaviruses and contain <jats:italic>cis</jats:italic>-acting RNA elements that affect RNA translation and replication. The 31 nucleotide (nt) long highly conserved stem-loop 5a (SL5a) is located within the 5′-untranslated region (5′-UTR) important for viral replication. SL5a features a U-rich asymmetric bulge and is capped with a 5′-UUUCGU-3′ hexaloop, which is also found in stem-loop 5b (SL5b). We herein report the extensive <jats:sup>1</jats:sup>H, <jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C and <jats:sup>15</jats:sup>N resonance assignment of SL5a as basis for in-depth structural studies by solution NMR spectroscopy.</jats:p>
