Scientist in Molecular Dynamics of Proteins | CDE Almería - Centro de Documentación Europea

Project

You will be in charge of conducting molecular modelling studies to get a better understanding of molecular determinants involved in function and substrate recognition of several enzymes. The objective will then be to apply molecular modelling and computational enzyme design tools to redesign these enzymes to achieve the desired catalytic properties and drive the experimental construction of enzyme mutant libraries.

Organisation

EV Biotech is a young, dynamic, interdisciplinary company based in Groningen, the Netherlands. Their mission is to reduce the use of fossil fuels in the chemical market and steer it to the biological compound production. We distinguish ourselves through the use of state-of-the-art computational modelling and close collaboration between wet- and dry-lab.
