cord-268390-npuvodd4	Rehman, Aziz ul	The role of primary and secondary bio-molecules in optical diagnosis of pandemic COVID-19 outbreak	2020-08-17		.txt	text/plain	1277	64	42	• Raman and fluorescence signature of ACE-2 specific proteins is the basis for real time detection of COVID-19. This letter to the editor aims to introduce primary and secondary biomarkers whose reflectance, transmittance and fluorescence signals can be used for optical diagnosis of COVID-19 to the scientific community and persuade to build portable, cost effective, label free and real time optical devices for its detection. Keeping in view the epidemic nature of COVID-19, we need early stage, cost effective, real time diagnosis and portable devices to detect this disease so that treatment can be started to save the vulnerable population. Similarly, nucleic acid and protein bound coenzymes molecules like NADH, FAD have their own specific fluorescence biomarkers when excited with UV-A light [13] and can be used for label free detection of COVID-19 on early stages employing portable optical detection systems.	./cache/cord-268390-npuvodd4.txt	./txt/cord-268390-npuvodd4.txt
