Today the Human Frontier Science Program has announced the list of the awardees in the latest 2020 call, among which featured our Sílvia Osuna (ICREA) with a research project on “the evolution of conformational and kinetic ensembles during functional transitions” (RGP0054/2020). The team of the project is composed by Prof. Tokuriki (grant coordinator, University of
Today Sílvia Osuna received the Premio Lilly Joven de Investigación 2019 at the headquarters of Lilly in Madrid, where she also delivered her award-ceremony talk “Computational enzyme evolution”. She has won the award, as already announced earlier this year, for her outstanding scientific career on enzyme design, fullerenes, and carbon materials. The Lilly Prize for Young Investigators
Today Sílvia Osuna received one of the most important mails in her life, in which the Director of ICREA informed her that she had been selected to become ICREA Research Professor. This will provide her with a permanent position, and enables her to dedicate her time fully to research. The IQCC already has two other
Computational design of proficient enzymes: exploring the molecular basis of biocatalysis
The first annual report of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of the University of Girona (UdG) containing the most important activities developed by the IQCC during 2023 is presented below. Writing an annual report is a valuable practice that goes beyond fulfilling regulatory requirements. It serves as a tool for communication, reflection, and strategic planning, contributing
Carla Calvó-Tusell has been awarded the 1st prize for best computational chemistry paper in 2022 given by the Computational Chemistry Group (GEQC) of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (Real Sociedad Española de Química, RSEQ). She has received the award for her paper “Time Evolution of the Millisecond Allosteric Activation of Imidazole Glycerol Phosphate Synthase”.
Biocatalytic intermediates for the discovery and design of new enzymatic activities
On February 1st, Dr. Marc Garcia-Borràs started his new Beatriu de Pinós project (MSCA COFUND) entitled “Computational characterization of enzymatic reactive intermediates for the discovery and design of new biocatalytic activities”. This 3-year project will allow Dr. Garcia-Borràs to work as an independent researcher at the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) and the
