Subject: 09.12.14 Available PhD fellowship in Theoretical Chemistry at the IQAC (CSIC), Barcelona, Spain
The Theoretical and Computational Chemistry group of the IQAC (http://www.iiqab.csic.es/qteor) has a PhD position available to work in the following project: *Coupling of enzyme dynamics and catalysis. Method development and study of the NAG kinase family and class II aldolases.* Our group is focussed in the modelling of reaction mechanisms in many systems, ranging from athmospheric chemistry to enzyme catalysis. Proeteins are flexible molecules. How has evolution shaped the mobility of different enzymes components to enhance its efficiency? We will try to answer this questions using computational techniques. Because studying protein dynamics and enzyme catalysis requires different software, this projects will involve some programming and also the application of Computational Chemistry and Molecular Dynamics software. This project is supported by the Spanish Minstry of Science and Innovation. It lasts for 3 years. The starting date is beggining of 2010. Application date is January 2010.
