Computational Analysis of Molecular Coupling between RAMP1 and Serotonin

Structural Modifications and Therapeutic Perspectives: Perform an Analysis
computational to evaluate the molecular interaction between serotonin and the protein
RAMP1, identifying the structural bases and thermodynamic viability of this
complex.

Bleaching of corn husks for the production of tamales with a focus
ecological

Develop and evaluate alternative whitening and disinfection methods
of corn leaves by using alkaline aqueous solutions and ecological oxidants,
that allow replacing the traditional sulfur process, maintaining the quality of the
plant material and reducing environmental impacts and associated health risks.

Curcuminoids as photosensitizers and antioxidant capacity agents applied
in photodynamic therapy:

The synthesis and evaluation of a collection of
molecules as possible photosensitizers (PS) for application in therapy
photodynamics (PDT). The proposed structures have been designed based on criteria
that seek: (1) optimize the interaction with light through a conjugated system
extended, (2) improve the energy levels of the HOMO and LUMO orbitals to
favor the generation of reactive species, and (3) increase the solubility in water and the
biocompatibility, using structural blocks that are not toxic to cells
eukaryotes in the absence of UV radiation.
