Permissiveness coefficients of the Ebola virus and human host tissues. The permissiveness coefficients were calculated as the ratio of Gibbs energies of biosynthesis of the virus and its host tissues. A permissiveness coefficient greater than 1 means that a virus is able to hijack the host cell metabolism. The greater the permissiveness coefficient, the greater the potential of the virus to damage the tissue.
