PROTOMET Virtual Secondments
Due to the restrictions imposed on the Covid-19 pandemics some seconments of ProtoMet were perfomed virtually.
The following secondments were perfomed virtually due to travel and hosting restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemics.
Alvaro’s Magalhaes’s virtual secondment with ETH in 2021 involved reserach on the oxidation of triose glycolysis molecules with hemin/SDS system and synthesis of long chain thiol catalysts and test of catalysis. Virtual secondment with UNITN in 2021, the work involved peptide synthesis and the screening of Zn influence in peptide ligation. Virtual secondment with MPG in 2022 involved compatibility study and interference of co-acervates in peptide ligation and catalysed triose glycolysis).
