Table 8.

Elemental and molecular compositions per C-mole of SARS, MERS and SARS-CoV-2. The general unit carbon formula (UCF) has the form CH_nHO_nON_nNP_nPS_nS, where n_H, n_O, n_N, n_P and n_S are coefficients given in this table. The elemental and molecular composition of Lung – parenchyma were taken from (Popovic and Minceva, 2020b) and (Woodard and White, 1986), respectively.
