Using thermodynamic parameters to calibrate a mechanistic dose-response for infection of a host by a virus

Abstract: A B S T R A C TAssessing the risk of infection from emerging viruses or of existing viruses jumping the species barrier into novel hosts is limited by the lack of dose response data. The initial stages of the infection of a host by a virus involve a series of specific contact interactions between molecules in the host and on the virus surface. The strength of the interaction is quantified in the literature by the dissociation constant (K d ) which is determined experimentally and is specific for a given virus … Show more

“…The magnitude of ΔG a_receptor is related to the changes in enthalpy (ΔH a_receptor ) and entropy (ΔS a_receptor ) in the GP and Cr proteins on molecular interaction during binding according to Equation 9 (Gale, 2017;. The ΔS a_receptor term may be broken down into a number of components which act additively (Bostrom et al, 2011;Mammen et al, 1998;Caro et al, 2017;Gale, 2018) according to Equation 10. These components are the change in entropy of the water solvent molecules on the GP and Cr surfaces (ΔS solvent ) and the changes in the internal conformational freedoms within the GP and Cr proteins as represented by S conf GP and S conf Cr respectively.…”

“…Furthermore changing these parameters in the model e.g. on the basis of molecular structure data (Gale, 2018), could aid the interpretation and understanding of experimental vector competence data (Wittmann et al, 2002) in terms of molecular mechanisms, highlighting the direction of further experiments at the molecular level. For example, it is shown here that the thermodynamic nature of virus binding could determine whether significant transmission occurs at low temperatures or whether instead there is greatly diminished transmission.…”
