Prerequisites There are no official prerequisites. However, it is assumed that the student has acquired the knowledge taught in previous courses of the degree of Biochemistry, at first and second year's level and in the first semester of the third year, in particular the contents of Biochemistry I, Biochemistry II, Molecular Biology, Biocatalysis, Cell Biology, Animal Physiology and Cell Signal...

Agent-based modelling is being used to represent biological systems with increasing frequency and success. This paper presents the implementation of a new tool for biomolecular reaction modelling in the open source Multiagent Simulator of Neighborhoods framework. The rationale behind this new tool is the necessity to describe interactions at the molecular level to be able to grasp emergent and ...

Biocatalysis is propagating into practically every area of organic chemistry, amongst them radical polymerizations. A review of the recent developments of this dynamic and quickly evolving area of research is presented together with a critical evaluation of its potential to yield novel polymers and/or environmentally more benign synthetic procedures.

Lipases have received great attention as industrial biocatalysts in areas like oils and fats processing, detergents, baking, cheese making, surface cleaning, or fine chemistry [1,2]. They can catalyse reactions of insoluble substrates at the lipid-water interface, preserving their catalytic activity in organic solvents [3]. This makes of lipases powerful tools for catalysing not only hydrolysis...
