What we are doing in our group?
Photochemistry
The importance of photoswitches as drug is enormous and Quantum Chemistry could help us to achieve it
Protein Design
The modification of enzymes is one of the key tools on synthesising new specific compounds
Drug Design
We are trying to re-design drugs for inflammation inihibition
Allosteric Effects
Sometimes the activity of enzymes depends on the movement of several domains of the protein structure, to understand how it works, these movements must be studied
