Postdoctoral Fellow

Dr. Juliana Andrea Murillo López

Her main research field is focused on the use of QM/MM methods for studying the chemical reactivity in small group transfer reactions (e.g. carboxylation, phosphorylation) involved in enzyme catalysis processes. She is currently applying these methods to study carboxylation reactions in Rubisco and CCr enzymes, in particular how changes in the active site (point mutations, substrate changes, metallic substitution) can affect enzyme reactivity.
