Nanomechanical sonification of the 2019-nCoV coronavirus spike protein through a materiomusical approach	2020-03-30		.txt	text/plain	4509	205	46	Presenting musical encoding in two versions one in the amino-acid scale and one based on equal temperament tuning the method allows for expressing protein structures in audible space, offering novel avenues to represent, analyze and design architectural features across lengthand time-scales. We further report a hierarchical frequency spectrum analysis of five distinct protein structures, which offer insights into how genetic mutations, and the binding of the virus spike protein to the human ACE2 cell receptor directly influence the audio. What you hear is a multi-layered algorithmic composition featuring both the vibrational spectrum of the entire protein (expressed in sound and rhythmic elements), the sequence and folding of amino acids that compose the virus spike structure, as well as interwoven melodiesforming counterpoint music -reflecting the complex hierarchical intersecting geometry of the protein.	./cache/cord-171099-d0qr84xg.txt	./txt/cord-171099-d0qr84xg.txt
