Coronavirus and Disinfectant
This is the results channel of the project Coronavirus Membrane and Disinfectants. The project investigates by molecular dynamics simulations the action of common disinfectants such as ethanol or isopropanol on the integrity of the external membrane of the coronavirus.
The research work is carried out by members of the Theoretical Physical Chemistry Group at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, headed by Professor Florian Müller-Plathe.
Disclaimer: We are using this channel instead of peer-reviewed publishing because of speed. We want to make results available to practitioners in time for them to be useful in the current crisis. Therefore, results may be preliminary, not quite converged or inaccurate. Still they might be useful, and they are the best we can do at the time. Use our results with care. We will update them, as new data becomes available. So keep watching this channel. We do not guarantee them to be correct and we will not assume any legal responsibility for damages occurring following their use. It is, of course, our expectation that soon our preliminary results will converge into proper peer-reviewed scientific papers.

Investigating the efficiency of disinfectants against 2019-nCoV by dissipative particle dynamics simulations
It is worth mentioning that the dissipative-particle dynamics simulation method employed in this work is a fast, approximative model. It is expected to reproduce trends. More accurate data are expected from on-going atomistic molecular-dynamics simulations.
