In a recent work coordinated by Sergi Castellano (UCL), and in collaboration with Elias Arnér research group (Karolinska), we have investigated the phylogeny of Glutathione Peroxydase 6 (GPX6) and evaluated the effect of Cys/Sec variants in the loss/gain of its peroxidase activity and glutathione binding. In this poster, Nayanika presents her PhD project (cosupervised by Prof. Vijay Baladhye, Savitribai Phule Pune University) on the evaluation of the enzymatic activity of the protein in relation to its evolutionary history, grounded by the recent paper, that also included our former member Martin Floor. The presentation took place during the 1st meeting on Theoretical and Computational Chemistry by the Catalan Chemistry Society. Exciting PhD project ahead!
