Molecular dynamics simulations of the frame-shifting pseudoknot from beet western yellows virus (BWYV, NDB file UR0004) were performed with explicit inclusion of solvent and counterions. In all, 33 ns of simulation were carried out, including 10 ns of the native structure with protonation of the crucial cytosine residue, C8(N3+). The native structure exhibited stable trajectories retaining all Watson-Crick and tertiary base-pairs, except for fluctuations or transient disruptions at spec most significant fluctuations involved the change or disruption of hydrogen-bonding between C8(N3+) and bases G12, A25, and C26, as well as disruption of the water bridges linking C8(N3+) with A25 and C26. The simulations revealed several critical, highly ordered hydration sites with close to 100% occupancies and residency times of individual water molecules of up to 5 ns. Sodium cation coordination sites with occupancies above 50% were also observed.
