Theoretical Model on Meridian Conduction
Liaofu Luo, Fengqi Bao
The physical mechanism on meridians (acupuncture lines) is studied and a theoretical model is proposed. The meridians are explained as an alternating system responsible for the int…
Spike conformation transition in SARS-CoV-2 infection
Liaofu Luo, Yongchun Zuo
A theory on the conformation transition for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S) is proposed. The conformation equilibrium between open (up) and closed (down) conformations of receptor bin…
Phylogenetic Study of 2019-nCoV by Using Alignment Free Method (Evolutionary Bifurcation of Novel Coronavirus Mutants)
Yang Gao, Tao Li, Liaofu Luo
The phylogenetic tree of SARS-CoV-2 (nCov-19) viruses is reconstructed according to the similarity of genome sequences. The tree topology of Betacoronavirus is remarkably consisten…
DNA Torsion-based Model of Cell Fate Phase Transitions
Ng Shyh-Chang, Liaofu Luo
All stem cell fate transitions, including the metabolic reprogramming of stem cells and the somatic reprogramming of fibroblasts into pluripotent stem cells, can be understood from…
Quantum patterns of genome size variation in angiosperms
Liaofu Luo, Lirong Zhang
The nuclear DNA amount in angiosperms is studied from the eigen-value equation of the genome evolution operator H. The operator H is introduced by physical simulation and it is def…
From Chemically to Physically Induced Pluripotency in Stem Cell
Liaofu Luo
A quantum model on the chemically and physically induced pluripotency in stem cells is proposed. Based on the conformational Hamiltonian and the idea of slow variables (molecular t…
