Simulaciones de dinámica molecular de la interacción enzima-sustrato de resveratol O-metiltransferasa
La enzima resveratrol O-metiltransferasa de Vitis vinifera (VvROMT) es una enzima de interés industrial que sintetiza productos benéficos para la salud humana y de elevado valor comercial. En nuestro laboratorio mejoramos con éxito la eficiencia enzimática y selectividad de esta enzima. Sin embargo, nuestros actuales modelos moleculares estructurales de la enzima no son capaces de explicar de manera satisfactoria los resultados experimentales. Objetivo de este proyecto es realizar simulaciones de dinámica molecular de variantes de VvROMT en complejo con diversos sustratos para generar una modelo robusto de las relaciones bioactividad-estructura.

Development and use of the GRAPE computational engineering strategy in Antarctic PET hydrolases
In recent decades, numerous enzymes from bacteria that degrade PET plastics have been described, including enzymes described by our laboratory from Antarctic organisms that are catalytically active at room temperature. However, the stability of these enzymes is insufficient for their biotechnological use, thus experimental and computational enzyme engineering strategies have been developed to optimize these parameters. In this research, we seek to develop and use the GRAPE computational engineering strategy, which produces a library of mutations for preliminary experimental characterization and subsequent clustering in a final designed enzyme, to improve the stability of Antarctic PET hydrolases.
