First Look: FIBONACCI-Numbers and LUCAS-Numbers and Andes Virus (Hanta Virus): A Reasonable Fit
First Look: FIBONACCI-Numbers and LUCAS-Numbers and Andes Virus (Hanta Virus): A Reasonable Fit by Stefan Geier Starting Structure of t he Andes virus (ANDV) Nucleoprotein (N) N-terminal domain (residues 1–74) Helix 1 1–35 Forms the initial hydrophobic interface for trimerization. 34 is a FIBONACCI-number F(9) Linker 36–43 Flexible loop connecting the two main helices. 8 is a FIBONACCI-number F(6) Helix 2 44–74 Provides the second "arm" of the coiled-coil to stabilize the trimer. 21 is a FIBONACCI-number F(8) The Heptad Repeats fit L(4)=7. The first Fibonacci-numbers and Lucas-numbers: Fibonacci F(n ): 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, ... Lucas L(n ): 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, ... The above provides an at least reasonable association of the Andes virus (ANDV) Nucleoprotein (N) N-terminal domain with the GEIER programme based on GEIER's Equations and FIBOBACCI-Numbers and LUCAS-Numbers. Improvement is pos...
