Peplomer bulb shape and coronavirus rotational diffusivity

...each coronavirus spike is a glycoprotein trimer, and each spike bulb is triangular...This paper, thus, explores the role of bulb triangularity on the rotational diffusivity...We learn that the triangularity of the coronavirus spike bulb decreases its rotational diffusivity. For a typical peplomer population of 74, bulb triangularity decreases the rotational diffusivity by 39%...
