Research Group on Environmental Effects - EFME

Description

The research group was founded by Prof. Estanislao Silla in the Department of Physical Chemistry of the University of Valencia at the beginning of the 90's. The scientific work of the group has been always focused on the theoretical description of chemical processes in condensed phases: solutions and biological environments. The group is currently leaded by Iñaki Tuñón.

The work of the group includes both methodological development and applications. Among the most prominent methodological contributions of our group we find the GEPOL program (a program to calculate molecular surfaces and volumes and that is currently used in many implementations of continuum models) and contributions to the improvement of QM/MM hybrid descriptions of enzymatic processes. Applications range from solubility to chemical reactivity and also computer-aided rational design of new biological catalysts and inhibitors.

Goals CT
  • Theoretical study of chemical reactivity in solution and biological media, simulation of enzymatic catalysis, development of qm / mm methods.
Research lines

Simulation of chemical processes in biological environments

Study by computational tools of chemical reactions in enzymes and aqueous solution by means of QM/MM Molecular Dynamica.
