Description of the group
AX is an SME offering integrative solutions based on systems biology and molecular simulations approaches. The companyhas developed Therapeutic Performance Mapping System, a proprietary technology (61/255,299 (US)), which allows the integration of all biochemical information and molecular relationships in a complex molecular network. AX has recently been listed in the top 100 most innovative European companies by Red Herring 2011.


Ligand (veratryl-VA) migration in lignin peroxidase modeled by PELE is shown in shade-brown tubes representation (a total of 6 different snapshots along the migration). In RED/BLUE we show the total spin density for the three unpaired electrons in compound I showing the oxidation of the substrate by the HEME group
For the INDOX project AX will count on the expertise of Prof. Victor Guallar, recipient of an Advanced IDEAS ERC grant with more than 80 publications, who has developed state-of-the-art technologies in molecular modeling including ligand migration (PELE software) and QM/MM techniques.


Main role in INDOX
The main role will be the aiding in the structural-functional studies and in the rational design of the biocatalysts. Simulations mapping substrate migration/binding and its oxidation will be conducted for the wild type and for several mutants. These simulations will complement the enzymatic structural-functional studies by correlating the experimental work with the theoretical atomic detailed mechanism. For this purpose, a diverse set of state of the art software together with massive parallel computing will be used.
