  (BBSRC DTP) Biofuel synthesis from enzymes: how do charge distributions affect product control?
University of Manchester School of Chemistry
  Prof P Popelier, Dr S De Visser
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
One of this project ‘s strengths is the novel computational technology it introduces to the paramount field of biocatalysis. Any quantum mechanical insight into enzymes is initially holistic in character, that is, energies and electron densities are calculated for the whole systems.
