Lei WangCorresponding author

Rapidly spreading Covid-19 virus and its variants, especially in metropoli- tan areas around the world, became a major health public concern. The tendency of Covid-19 pandemic and statistical modelling represent an urgent challenge in the United States for which there are few solutions. In this pape…

A Review on Drug Design by the Application of Computer

Dec 2022 DOI 10.14302/issn.2328-0182.japst-22-4363
Nikita S. PatilCorresponding author

The process of creating new pharmaceuticals is incredibly costly and time-consuming, and it dates back millions of years to the time when only herbal remedies were used. Furthermore, the solvation energies of the ligand and receptor site are crucial to this process because partial to complete dedica…

Molecular Evolution of the Novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2
