Read MoreElnaz Aledavood, Carolina Estarellas and F. Javier Luque have recently published a work devoted to disclose the regulation mechanism of the AMP-kinase (AMPK) by the direct activator A-769662. The study was published in the Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling (JCIM). The article is entitled “Understanding the mechanism of direct activation of AMP-kinase: Toward a…
Read MoreWelcome to Alessia Forte and Beatrice Corradi, both undergraduate students coming from Università Degli Studi Di Bari Aldo Moro and Università degli Studi di Parma, respectively, that join our group for a 6 month stay in order to develop their respective final degree projects.

Read MoreDr. William Zamora, Prof. Josep Maria Campanera and Prof. F. Javier Luque have recently published a work in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. In this article, they developed a lipophilicty pH-adapted scale that relies on theoretical estimates of distribution coefficients from conformational ensembles of aminoacids. Additionally, the journal have asked them to make a video…
Read MoreProf. Axel Bidon-Chanal has recently published a collaboration work directed by Prof. Marçal Pastor, in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease. The research team has described a first case of a patient affected by dysfunctions in a nuceloside transporter of the SLC28 family. More specifically, they have identified mutations in the SLC28A1 gene, that…
Read MoreNext 22nd of February, William will defend his PhD thesis in the Aula Magna of Campus Diagonal of Facultat de Farmàcia i Ciències de l’Alimentació at 11:00 a.m. The title of his presentation will be “Toward Refined Theoretical Models for the Description of Lipophilicity in Biomolecules”. Good luck!
Read MoreLast 28th and 29th of January, CBCG group members attended the “CBDD Group Retreat”. The event was held in the “Alberg Centre Esplai”, in El Prat del Llobregat.
