Green Chemistry to the Resque of Disasters of the 1900 -2020 Period

Abstract

There is uncertainty about several aspects of the Covid-19 origin story that scientists are trying hard to unravel, including which species passed to humans. They are trying hard because knowing how a pandemic starts is a key to stopping the next one. Green chemistry emerged from a variety of existing ideas and research efforts - characterization is one major analytical technique in our laboratories and so Scientists moved rapidly to characterize 2019-nCoV and widely disseminated their findings amongst the international research community as quickly as possible including the basic Viral Structure and Mechanism of Infection. Coronaviruses are large, enveloped, positive-stranded RNA viruses. They have the largest genome among all RNA viruses, typically ranging from 27 to 32 kb. The genome is packed inside a helical capsid formed by the nucleocapsid protein (N) and further surrounded by an envelope. One important example of this is the homology models of the novel coronavirus cysteine protease produced by Martin Stoermer etal (2020) . It is also established that disasters during the century 1900- 2020 were avoidable if the principles of green chemistry were applied to prevent future pandemics.
