"All-Atom quantum mechanical studies of proteins"

Friday, 15 May 2015 - 4:30 pm
Lecture Room 204 - LB, Strada Costiera 11, Trieste

ABSTRACT:
In this talk I will present the results of all-atom quantum mechanical
calculations of proteins. These calculations, in spite of being 
approximate,
shed light on the electronic structure of proteins, particularly on the
distribution of the electronic charge throughout the whole molecule.
Further, the electric dipole moment of the protein represents an 
important
property which can be correlated to biological processes as different as
molecular recognition and signal transduction
