Biography
Born in Rome on 16/5/1947, graduated on 24/11/1971 in Chemistry with Lode. From the moment she graduated from the Department of Chemistry of the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Natural Sciences at the University of Rome "La Sapienza". He is currently a full-time Professor of Physical Chemistry IV and has taught Physical Chemistry of Biological Systems, Chemistry Chemistry II, Theoretical Chemistry. The guiding principle of the research is the study of complex systems, in particular the structure and the chemical-physical properties of predominantly biological macromolecules. The main part of the research was to find physical models suitable for highlighting structural and topological regularities. The ultimate goal is the prediction of the structure of nucleic acids and proteins, their interaction with other molecules, and the structural and dynamic explanation of their biological activity. More recently he has been involved in peptide and cyclopeptide with regular enantiomeric sequences as self-assembling nanotubes with nanotechnology potential.
