A recent study by scientist Robert Penner at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques in France utilizes free energy calculations to predict effective antiviral…
Each of the three approved vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) – Moderna, BioNTech-Pfizer and Oxford-Astrazeneca – generate forms of the spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), allowing the immune system to respond with the appropriate antibodies.
