Every year in May since 2013 is organizing the international Print of Science festival. This year is organizing by ICREA, IDIBGI, BTM, ERAM and the Scientific Culture and Digital Communication (C4D) unit of the UdG. Print of Science is an international event with the aim to bring science closer to the general public in a
Angewandte Chemie International Edition features on its front cover the recently published research article “Harnessing the Structure and Dynamics of the Squalene-Hopene Cyclase for (?)-Ambroxide Production”. Ambergris is a highly valued natural product in the fragrance industry and is also known as “floating gold” because of its biosynthesis in the intestines of sperm whales. Owing
Last 20th April took place the 30 years IQC(C) celebration. This wonderful moment was celebrated by a symposium and get-together in Girona. Schedule (Aula Magna, Science Faculty) 09.30h Opening by Honorific Director Prof. Ramon Carbó-Dorca and ViceRector Research Dr. Maria Pla de Solà-Morales Session 1: Chair: Lorenzo D’Amore 09.50h-10.15h Jordi Mestres – “From Similarity to
The Organic Letters Journal features on its front cover the recently published research article “Enantioselective Molecular Recognition in a Flexible Self-Folding Cavitand” by Dr. Agustí Lledó and co-workers. A chiral and adaptable self-folding cavitand receptor based on calix[5]arene folds around the matched enantiomer of a chiral tetraalkylammonium guest, with the Els Encantats mountain (Catalan Pyrenees)
Protein crystallography of PSII only recently has made significant progress. Starting from the first low-resolution crystallographic models of PSII in 2001, obtained with conventional synchrotron radiation sources, the field has moved through gradual improvements to the current era of X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) sources, providing the first geometric models of the S1-state in the oxygen-evolving
Dr. Albert Artigas has recently become a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC). Dr. Artigas did his PhD at the IQCC/University of Girona on cyclization reactions for the functionalization of fullerenes: Experimental and theoretical studies under the supervision of Prof. Anna Roglans, Prof. Miquel Solà and Dr. Agustí Lledó in
A few times a year, the IQCC opens its doors and gives the opportunity to high-school students to know our work through exciting lectures and computational and experimental workshops. This provides the secondary school pupils the possibility to get a feel for the research and have real-time chemistry in their hands. Last February, it was
