Research Interest

Dr. Nuria Victoria Sánchez Puig focused on techniques of recombinant ADN, biochemistry, spectroscopic and calorimetric techniques are combined, Cancer, ribosomopathies and sialidosis. It is possible to understand the thermodynamic and structural bases that control these proteins interactions with their respective ligands and how mutations associated to the illness alter such interaction and take part in the pathological process, To understand the molecular bases that allow non-structural native proteins to interact with different ligands in a specific way, regardless the lack of tertiary structure, as well as their ability to acquire different conformations depending on the ligand they interact with. The study of this type of proteins is of great interest as they put into test the idea that the structure is a prerequisite of the function.
