<p>Theoretical organic chemistry, biochemistry and biophysics. Emphasis is given to the study of mechanisms and processes involving enzymes and small molecules (organic chemistry mechanisms and reactions), prediction of protein structure/folding, drug design (antibiotics, antivirals, anti-tumor drugs), computational protein engineering. Research is based on molecular dynamics, homology modeling, water network analysis, molecular docking, quantum chemistry calculations, bioinformatics, data analysis, virtual high-throughput screening/docking against large databases (ligand databases in normal docking and receptor databases in inverse docking), pharmacophores, hit-to-lead optimization (computational plus experimental information) and organic synthesis (mainly bio- and organocatalysis, and asymmetric synthesis).</p>
