Viral content: a theory of vaccine hesitancy based on information encountering in the greater Manila area, Philippines by Sacramento, Simon Philip R., Sipin, Ian Dominic P.

“…Background: Ground experiences of the researchers indicate substantial concern about the side-effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine in some individuals who lined up to get vaccinated. The Philippine Department of Health, Food and Drug Administration temporarily suspended the administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine to persons below 60 years old on April 8, 2021, due to reports of “rare cases of blood clots with low platelets detected in some individuals inoculated with the vaccine.” …”

Induction of z-conformation in ribosomal RNA by Z-DNA binding domain Zα of the human double-stranded RNA deaminase I (ADAR1) by Zhao, Jing

“…In order to provide theoretical foundations for the analysis of NMR spectral responses of ZαADAR1 to ribosomes we attempted to extend the conventional NMR relaxation theory to include a semi solid-state treatment of nuclear spin dynamics in large complexes. The main challenge to the classical NMR theory arises when one of the binding partners is so large that in the chemical shift time scale of solution NMR (milliseconds) it can be considered as practically static or solid-state-like. …”
