Bioinformatics and Biochemistry – Dipartimento di Scienze e Ingegneria della Materia, dell’Ambiente ed Urbanistica

Teaching and scientific activities fall within the general context of Biological Chemistry and computational biology,

with a focus on the biochemistry of enzymatic proteins. The techniques implemented in this research area include:

Molecular biotechnology applied to the production ofrecombinant protein enzymesand their functional characterization
Protein engineering
Whole-cell biocatalyst engineering
Biocrystallography
In silico protein analyses for functional inference, evolutionary profiling and drug discovery
Comparative genome analyses for metabolic network reconstruction
