Welcome
Non Covalent Interactions are key to Chemistry and Biology. They are responsible of an ample range of molecular processes, such as those involved in host-guest chemistry, solid state packing, protein folding or protein-drug recognition. We take advantage of computer models to understand and predict how molecules recognize each other, thus unravelling novel binding modes and interaction patterns between atoms.
Mission Statement
As a part of the Supramolecular Chemistry Group (SUPRAMOL) at the University of the Balearic Islands we are interested in exploring the physical nature and impact of non-classical NCIs in both chemical and biological environments, with particular emphasis on biomolecular systems. This involves 1) the analysis of their physical nature, 2) their structural and functional features and 3) their dynamics in the formation of bio-supramolecular assemblies.
Who we are?
From small theoretical models computed using ab initio and DFT techniques to large supramolecular assemblies studied by means of atomistic MD simulations.
