Laboratory for Computational Biology and Chemistry
The Magistrato Lab research activity is devoted to the development and application of state-of-the-art computational methods for multi-scale molecular simulations. We aim to investigate the structure, function, and dynamics of complex biological systems and to the development of small-molecule inhibitor to modulate their function. Our research activity ranges from the study of pharmacologically relevant enzymes, to that of protein/RNA machineries, metal ions transporters and cytolytic toxins. Our research lies at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicinal chemistry and involves collaborations with various experimental labs.
Our work is sponsored by grants from the Italian Association For Cancer Research, POR-FESR European Funds, European Social Funds, Ministry of International Affairs.
