Nanomechanical analysis of SARS-CoV-2 variants and predictions of infectiousness and lethality.

Soft matter - 10 Aug 2022

Hu Yiwen, Buehler Markus J

Abstract excerpt

As variants of the pathogen that causes COVID-19 spread around the world, estimates of infectiousness and lethality of newly emerging strains are important. Here we report a predictive model that associates molecular motions and vibrational patterns of the virus spike protein with infectiousness and lethality. The key finding is that most SARS-CoV-2 variants are predicted to be more infectious and less lethal...
