CoViD-19 Epidemic Follows the "Kinetics" of Enzymes with Cooperative Substrate Binding
Silverstein, Todd P.
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, v48 n5 p452-459 Sep-Oct 2020
The Hill equation, which models the cooperative ligand-receptor binding equilibrium, turns out to be useful in modeling the progression of infectious disease outbreaks such as CoViD-19. The equation fits well the data for total and daily case numbers, allows tentative predictions for the half-point and end point of the epidemic, and presents a mathematical characterization of how social interventions "flatten the curve" of the disease progression.
