Preprints on COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2
Abstract
Biothermodynamics of viruses is among the youngest, but rapidly developing scientific disciplines. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has closely followed the results published by molecular biologists. Empirical formulas were published for 50 viruses and thermodynamic properties for multiple viruses and virus variants, including all variants of concern of SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, MERS-COV, Ebola virus, Vaccinia and Monkeypox virus. A review of development of biothermodynamics of viruses during the last several decades and intense development during the last 3 years has been described in this paper.
