Strain wars 2: Binding constants, enthalpies, entropies, Gibbs energies and rates of binding of SARS-CoV-2 variants
(Elsevier, 2021)
SARS-CoV-2 virus is the cause of COVID-19 pandemic and belongs to RNA viruses, showing great tendency to mutate. Several dozens of mutations have been observed on the SARS-CoV-2 virus, during the last two years. Some of ...
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 ...
XBB.1.5 Kraken cracked: Gibbs energies of binding and biosynthesis of the XBB.1.5 variant of SARS-CoV-2
(Elsevier, 2023)
The SARS-CoV-2 Hydra with many heads (variants) has been causing the COVID-19 pandemic for 3 years. The appearance of every new head (SARS-CoV-2 variant) causes a new pandemic wave. The last in the series is the XBB.1.5 ...
Heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of neodymia and samaria doped ceria
(Elsevier, 2021)
Doped ceria materials are ionic conductors currently under investigation for use in solid oxide fuel cells, catalysts, and other applications. We measured the heat capacity of several doped ceria samples from 1.8 K to 300 ...
The effect of gamma irradiation on the synthesis, microbiological sterility, and improvement of properties of PMMA-Al2O3 composite used in dental prosthesis manufacturing
(Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 2023)
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a polymer material widely used in dental applications due to its excellent biocompatibility, stable physicochemical properties, easy manipulation, and low cost. The combination of biocompatible ...
Why doesn’t Ebola virus cause pandemics like SARS-CoV-2?
(Elsevier, 2022)
Ebola virus is among the most dangerous, contagious and deadly etiological causes of viral diseases. However, Ebola virus has never extensively spread in human population and never have led to a pandemic. Why? The mechanistic ...
Strain wars 5: Gibbs energies of binding of BA.1 through BA.4 variants of SARS-CoV-2
(Elsevier, 2022)
This paper reports, for the first time, standard Gibbs energies of binding of the BA.1, BA.2, BA.3, BA.2.13, BA.2.12.1 and BA.4 Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2, to the Human ACE2 receptor. Variants BA.1 through BA.3 exhibit ...
