Contributions to Science

For the last three decades, Paolo Carloni has developed and used multiscale methods in molecular simulation (from quantum to coarse grain) aimed at understanding structure/function of biomolecules and their complexes. He has contributed to the modeling of metal ions in biological systems, to the understanding of reaction mechanism of enzymatic superfamilies (such as that of the proteases), to molecular mechanisms of drug resistance, to the investigation of RNA/drug binding, and, more recently to providing insight on the function and the signaling cascades of neuroreceptors. Many of his papers are in collaboration with experimental groups. He has devoted a major effort to high level education (as for today, he has supervised more than 50 PhD students). h-index (Google): 62
