Abstract
Abstract The experience of the ongoing pandemic gives rise to a variety of questions, touching – among others – upon its biological aspects. Among the most often raised issues is why the situation has deteriorated to such a degree in the Mediterranean basin and the American eastern seaboard. This work identifies possible links between the protein folding process and the aforementioned epidemic. Given the circumstances, it should be regarded as a popular science article.
期刊介绍:
The journal Bio-Algorithms and Med-Systems (BAMS), edited by the Jagiellonian University Medical College, provides a forum for the exchange of information in the interdisciplinary fields of computational methods applied in medicine, presenting new algorithms and databases that allows the progress in collaborations between medicine, informatics, physics, and biochemistry. Projects linking specialists representing these disciplines are welcome to be published in this Journal. Articles in BAMS are published in English. Topics Bioinformatics Systems biology Telemedicine E-Learning in Medicine Patient''s electronic record Image processing Medical databases.
