Catalysis is ubiquitous in chemical industries since it accelerates chemical reactions, thereby saving considerable amounts of energy. Most catalytic processes in industry are heterogeneous in nature, typically involving ...
Chronic schizophrenia has been widely studied, consistent findings have shown the anatomical pattern associated with this disease, but the clinical picture is often undifferentiated at first presentation. Finding morphometric ...
Tribbles (TRIB) homologues proteins are a family of three pseudokinases withan important role in controlling immunity, metabolism, and cancer throughprotein-protein interactions (PPIs). TRIB pseudokinases have the same ...
Enzyme catalysis has been scaled up for several industrial sectors during the last decades, including pharmaceutics, food and beverages. This raised the interest of other industries such as energy or paper and pulp sectors, ...
Recently, research processes in Life sciences have evolved at a rapid pace. This evolution, mainly due to technological advances, offers more powerful equipment and generalizes the digital format of research data. In the ...
[eng] Carbohydrates, as the most abundant biomolecules, play a myriad of roles and functions in biological systems. Unlike the building blocks of proteins, amino acids, whose chemical structure can vary significantly, ...
This work contains the efforts I have made in the last years in the field of Electrophysiological data analysis. Most of the work has been done at Starlab Barcelona S.L. and part of it at the Neurodynamics Laboratory of ...
Molecular materials have raised much interest in the last decades in the quest for new multifunctional devices. Among the multiple properties that those materials may present, one of the most typical is magnetism, which ...
The work carried out in this thesis is based on the study of transition metal carbides (TMCs) as catalysts study from a theoretical point of view, using the techniques of Computational Chemistry. TMC materials have been ...
Purely organic radical-based materials constitute a promising approach for the miniaturization of devices due to their interesting optical, electronic and magnetic properties, and are good candidates to substitute scarce ...
[eng] Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) landed on the molecular biology framework at the turn of the 20th century to challenge the established protein function- structure paradigm. Due to their inherent flexibility ...
The research presented in this thesis contributes to the understanding of both titania and silicate nanosystems by providing new information on energetic stability and properties of nanometer sized particles using computational ...
[eng] Computational simulation technologies facilitate the resolution of complex biomedical problems by helping researchers predict what will happen in a natural system in response to various external conditions. The main ...
[eng] Although visual perception has been extensively studied for centuries, the underlying neural mechanisms remain puzzling. The present study aims to develop a computational model based on the low-level processing of ...
[eng] The increase in production over the last centuries has come at the expense of compromising the environment, urging the need to find solutions. Enzymes are the essential molecules that make life kinetically possible. ...
During my PhD thesis used theoretical techniques, in particular Molecular Dynamics to study the structural properties of nucleie acids in non-canonical environment, especially in the gas phase and apolar conditions. The ...
It is known that active particles induce emerging patterns as a result of their dynamic interactions, giving rise to amazing collective motions, such as swarming or clustering. Here we present a systematic numerical study ...
The objective of this PhD thesis has been the study of the mechanisms that stabilize high-spin states in organic molecule-based magnetic materials. These materials require organic radicals with permanent magnetic moment ...
Polyglutamine (polyQ) tracts are low sequence complexity regions frequently found in transcription factors. Abnormal expansions of polyQ tracts in nine different proteins cause a family of neurodegenerative disorders called ...
The potential of natural products in general, and marine natural products in particular, as pharmacological entities has been widely demonstrated in recent years. Marine benthic ecosystems contain an extraordinary range ...
