Research lines:

a)Structure and function of P-type membrane ATPases of humans and yeasts.

b)The role of Cu + -ATPases (ATP7A and ATP7B) in the development of different pathologies in humans

c) Quaternary structure of membrane enzymes and the role of oligomerization in enzymatic cooperativity

d) The stabilization of the structure and function of proteins (mainly enzymes) in extreme physical conditions

e) The study of the interactions between compatible solutes (trehalosa, glycerol, etc.) and proteins. Study of ligand (substrate) -proteins interactions.

f)Effect of viscosity on the conformational dynamics of proteins in processes such as folding, unfolding and in their catalytic cycle.
