Molecular modeling and design
My name is Bruno Rizzuti, and I am a theoretical biophysicist. I enjoy discovering operating rules, hidden patterns, emergent simplicity, and ultimately elegance in complex systems that may appear disordered and chaotic. To this aim, I use molecular simulations for modeling biological macromolecules.
Structural, dynamical, and functional features of biomolecules. Protein folding/unfolding/misfolding, and 'non-folding'. Binding properties in host-guest molecular complexes.
Complex biomolecular systems, including intrinsically disordered proteins. Bioactive and drug-like compounds targeting selected functional macromolecules.
All-atom molecular dynamics simulation, molecular docking, and various other theoretical and computational techniques for the analysis of complex systems.
Identification of the molecular basis of diseases. Computer-aided drug discovery and rational design. Nanomedicine and 'in silico' biopharmaceutics.
