Thermal inactivation scaling applied for SARS-CoV-2

Abstract: Based on a model of protein denaturation rate-limited by an entropy-related barrier, we derive a simple formula for virus inactivation time as a function of temperature. Loss of protein structure is described by two reaction coordinates: conformational disorder of the polymer and wetting by the solvent. These establish a competition between conformational entropy and hydrophobic interaction favoring random coil or globular states, respectively. Based on the Landau theory of phase transition, the resulting free… Show more
