Abstract
The current epidemiological situation, including the existence of new SARS-CoV-2 virus with a high mutagenicity, requires fundamentally new deadlines for the development of vaccines, which may be achieved only applying modern computing technologies and simulation. Epitopes have been found in the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus using immunoinformatics methods, and their allergenicity and immunogenecity was predicted. It is shown that a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 can be designed based on these epitopes.
期刊介绍:
Crystallography Reports is a journal that publishes original articles short communications, and reviews on various aspects of crystallography: diffraction and scattering of X-rays, electrons, and neutrons, determination of crystal structure of inorganic and organic substances, including proteins and other biological substances; UV-VIS and IR spectroscopy; growth, imperfect structure and physical properties of crystals; thin films, liquid crystals, nanomaterials, partially disordered systems, and the methods of studies.
