The densities and distributions of energy deposition and ionization were calculated from the stopping power and inelastic cross-sections in the electron-cascade simulation. Therefore, the interaction of low-energy electrons with the main proteins and RNA macromolecules of the novel coronavirus was the key issue of our calculation. The stopping power was suitable for describing the energy-deposition probability in the target, and the ionization events were determined as the inelastic cross-sections of collisions with the shell electrons of J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f an atom. In this work, we calculated the distributions of energy deposition and ionization in the novel coronavirus irradiated with electrons having primary energies below 10 keV.	./cache/cord-325471-fc152wm3.txt	./txt/cord-325471-fc152wm3.txt
