Structural dissymmetrization of optically anisotropic Grs64±1Adr36±1Sps2 grandite from Meka Presedla (Kopaonik Mt., Serbia)
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
In this paper, grandite core with Grs64±1Adr36±1Sps2 composition was crystallographically studied. This core represents zone A of the macroscopically visible five A–E zones of the optically anisotropic Grs58–64Adr36–42Sps2 ...
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 ...
Food Antioxidants and Their Interaction with Human Proteins
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
Common to all biological systems and living organisms are molecular interactions, which
may lead to specific physiological events. Most often, a cascade of events occurs, establishing an
equilibrium between possibly ...
Elemental composition, heat capacity from 2 to 300 K and derived thermodynamic functions of 5 microorganism species
(Elsevier, 2021)
Detailed elemental analysis and low-temperature calorimetric measurement results are reported for the first time for Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and mold fungi. Microorganism unit carbon formulas (empirical ...
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 ...
Anisotropic grossular-andradite garnets: Evidence of two stage skarn evolution from Rudnik, Central Serbia
(Earth Science Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, 2021)
This paper presents LA-ICP-MS data for garnets from the Rudnik skarn deposit (Serbia), which range from Grs45–58Adr40–52Alm2–3 in the core and Adr70–97Grs2–29Sps1 in the rim displaying anisotropy and zoning. In spite of ...
Atom counting method for determining elemental composition of viruses and its applications in biothermodynamics and environmental science
(Elsevier, 2022)
Quantitative physicochemical perspective on life processes has been a great asset, in bioengineering and biotechnology. The quantitative physicochemical approach can be applied to practically all organisms, including ...
Thermodynamic insight into viral infections 2: empirical formulas, molecular compositions and thermodynamic properties of SARS, MERS and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) viruses
(Elsevier, 2020)
The current situation with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic indicates the importance of new approaches in vaccine design. In order to design new attenuated vaccines, to decrease virulence of virus wild types, it is important to ...
Omicron BA.2.75 Sublineage (Centaurus) Follows the Expectations of the Evolution Theory: Less Negative Gibbs Energy of Biosynthesis Indicates Decreased Pathogenicity
(MDPI, 2022)
SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the group of RNA viruses with a pronounced tendency to mutate. Omicron BA.2.75 is a subvariant believed to be able to suppress the currently dominant BA.5 and cause a new winter wave of the COVID-19 ...
Omicron BA.2.75 subvariant of SARS-CoV-2 is expected to have the greatest infectivity compared with the competing BA.2 and BA.5, due to most negative Gibbs energy of binding.
(MDPI, 2022)
Omicron BA.2.75 may become the next globally dominant strain of COVID-19 in 2022. The BA.2.75 sub-variant has acquired more mutations (9) in spike protein and other genes of SARS-CoV-2 than any other variant. Thus, its ...
