Structural Biology at the End of the World: What Are We Doing in Chile?, Maximiliano FIGUEROA, PhD

For over 30 years, our research groups have been investigating the relationship between protein structure and function. In this seminar, I will introduce you to various models, ranging from phycobilisomes and phycobiliproteins, which help us understand energy transfer in algae, to artificial protein design. We will also explore enzyme studies, the potential applications of novel proteins as therapeutics, and how proteins can contribute to more eco-friendly solutions in today's world.
