Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The coronavirus family is named for the large spike protein molecules found on the pathogen exterior, which give the virus a crown-like appearance, the coronavirus genome is the biggest among RNA viruses. There are about seven viruses capable of infecting humans: in the alpha genus, there are 229E and NL63, and in the beta genus, there are OC-43, HKU1, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is a positive-stranded RNA virus. In humans, the virus is transmitted through respiratory tract droplets or discharges from diseased persons. The reservoir hosts for MERS-CoV are camels, while those for SARS-CoV are most likely bats. SARS-CoV-2 infecting a snake may have been transmitted by zoonotic transmission in a palm civet. The Chinese viruses SARS-Co- -2 and SARS-CoV have many things in common, including contact with wild animals.However, both SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV have the ability to persist and spread the illness even when the infected individuals are untreated. SARS-S1 CoV-2's components of the spike proteins have 75% structural commonality with SARS-like CoVs in bats and SARS-CoV. According to genetic comparisons, the latest investigations have proven that SARS-CoV-2 targets angiotensin-converting enzyme type-2 (ACE-2) in humans. However, SARS-CoV-2 possesses an identical receptorbinding domain (RBD) pattern to SARS-CoV, with differences in amino acid sequences at certain vital positions. The RBD is also found in the C-domain S1 component of MERS-CoV's S protein (Spike). Conversely, in contrast to SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV uses a dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP-4) helix as its binding site. Similarly, MERS-RBD coronaviruses (CoVs) have an extra subdomain that functions as the receptor-binding motif (RBM).
