Ribonucleic acid genome mutations induced by the Casimir effect.

Abstract excerpt

In this paper, we investigate the Casimir effect within a virus RNA, particularizing the study to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Then, we discuss the possibility of occurring damage or mutation in its genome due to the presence of quantum vacuum fluctuations inside and around the RNA ribbon. For this, we consider the geometry and the nontrivial topology of the viral RNA as...
