Return of the forgotten nightmare: Bordetella pertussis uses a more negative Gibbs energy of metabolism to outcompete its host organism
(Elsevier, 01-2024)
Pertussis (whooping cough) has been nearly eradicated during the 20th century, first of all due to an organized and comprehensive vaccination campaign that lasted for decades. Generations of doctors educated in Serbia (and ...
The wind of change: Gibbs energy of binding and infectivity evolution of Omicron BA.2.86 Pirola, EG.5.1, XBB.1.16 Arcturus, CH.1.1 and BN.1 variants of SARS-CoV-2
(Elsevier, 2024)
A question is often asked about what tomorrow brings. During the last 4 years of the COVID-19 pandemic, this question was asked with every appearance of a new SARS-CoV-2 variant. It seems that science has an ability to ...
Beyond COVID-19: Do biothermodynamic properties allow predicting the future evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants?
(Elsevier, 2022)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many statistical and epidemiological studies have been published, trying to predict the future development of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. However, it would be beneficial to have a specific, ...
Strain wars 3: Differences in infectivity and pathogenicity between Delta and Omicron strains of SARS-CoV-2 can be explained by thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of binding and growth
(Elsevier, 2022)
In this paper, for the first time, empirical formulas have been reported of the Delta and Omicron strains of SARS-CoV-2. The empirical formula of the Delta strain entire virion was found to be CH1.6383O0.2844N0.2294P0.0064S0.0042, ...
Death from the Nile: Empirical formula, molar mass, biosynthesis reaction and Gibbs energy of biosynthesis of the West Nile virus
(Elsevier, 2023)
From July to October, West Nile virus is the leading cause of mosquito born disease in Europe and North America. This paper reports for the first time a chemical and thermodynamic analysis of the West Nile virus particles, ...
Upcoming epidemic storm: Empirical formulas, biosynthesis reactions, thermodynamic properties and driving forces of multiplication of the omicron XBB.1.9.1, XBF and XBB.1.16 (Arcturus) variants of SARS-CoV-2
(Elsevier, 2023)
COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 from the perspectives of medicine, biology, molecular biology, chemistry and biothermodynamics represent probably the best studied virus-host interaction until now. Empirical formula of SARS-CoV-2 ...
Strain Wars: Competitive interactions between SARS-CoV-2 strains are explained by Gibbs energy of antigen-receptor binding
(Elsevier, 2022)
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has mutated several times into new strains, with an increased infectivity. Infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 strains depends on binding affinity of the virus to its host ...
Eris - another brick in the wall: Empirical formulas, molar masses, biosynthesis reactions, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy of Omicron EG.5 Eris and EG.5.1 variants of SARS-CoV-2
(Elsevier, 2023)
Since 2019, when it appeared in Wuhan, in the wild type form later labeled Hu-1, SARS-CoV-2 mutated dozens of times and evolved towards increase in infectivity and decrease or maintenance of constant pathogenicity through ...
Never ending story? Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 monitored through Gibbs energies of biosynthesis and antigen-receptor binding of Omicron BQ.1, BQ.1.1, XBB and XBB.1 variants
(Elsevier, 2023)
RNA viruses exhibit a great tendency to mutate. Mutations occur in the parts of the genome that encode the spike glycoprotein and less often in the rest of the genome. This is why Gibbs energy of binding changes more than ...
SARS-CoV-2 strain wars continues: Chemical and thermodynamic characterization of live matter and biosynthesis of Omicron BN.1, CH.1.1 and XBC variants
(Elsevier, 2023)
SARS-CoV-2 has during the last 3 years mutated several dozen times. Most mutations in the newly formed variants have been chemically and thermodynamically characterized. New variants have been declared as variants under ...
