Main topics: 1) Structural and dynamics studies on Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) with relevance in demyelinating deseases like multiple sclerosis (in collaboration with Prof. George Harauz, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, University of Guelph, Canada). 2) Study of the effects of dehydration on Collagen structure and aggregation (in collaboration with Prof. Maria Grazia Bridelli, Dep. SMFI, UniPR) 3) Structural and dynamic study on WT and mutated LOV photoreceptors (in collaboration with Prof. Aba Losi, Dep. SMFI, UniPR). 4) Structural and dynamic study on Cellular Retinol Binding Proteins and their interaction with ligands (in collaboration with Prof. Rodolfo Berni, Dep. SCVSA, UniPR). 5) Study of the interaction of wild type and mutated forms of Survival of Motor Neuron (SMN) protein with proteins of the spliceosome: implication in the Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) disease. 6) Study of the interaction of urea derivatives with cytokinins and their adjuvant activity on cytokinin-driven physiological processes (in collaboration with Prof. Ada Ricci, Dep. SCVSA, UniPR).
