We work with atomic and molecular systems from the point of view of fundamental quantum mechanics (including dynamical systems) to systems applied to catalysis and other analogs using the DFT formalism and also studies using stochastic processes. We wish to continue these lines of research by attacking new problems. We also need to improve our computational resources to perform: a) quantu…
We are studying several molecular systems with potential technological applications. We have started some studies of systems analogous to graphene and its inorganic derivatives, where pairs of C atoms are replaced by B and N atoms and also by B and P. More recently, we have started studies on carbonic structures based on the azulene molecule. These structures are: polymers, 2-D structures…
In this project, we shall consider theoretical studies of Chemical systems using diverse techniques. a) Study of the photo-isomerization process of the retinal molecule in severalchemical environments. The conical intersections of the retinal molecule due to steric restriction of the opsine protein can be studied. Starting from the X-raystructure of the rhodopsine protein, we shall select…
The DNA CGAT base sequence could be an alternative to the binary code to store digital information. Understanding DNA stability would be important to ensure the effective preservation of information. In this project, we intend to study the mechanism based on quantum mechanics of the de/stabilization of the phosphodiester bond of DNA and RNA nucleotides in some environments aiming to store…
The presence of thermodynamic fluctuations in chemical systems far from the equilibrium can provoke the spontaneous emergence of organized dynamical states, called by Ilya Prigogine as dissipative structures. These structures are often observed in systems that have continuous flow of matter and energy, i.e. open systems, and complex reaction mechanisms. Heterogeneous catalysis and biochem…
The spontaneous induction of chemical reactions to homochiral states is yet an open question in chemistry. Because of that, theoretical studies have been developed to propose generic reactional mechanisms to get chiral symmetry braking in the global reaction and to allow a deep physical-chemistry understanding about this process. Many models were suggested and studied, showing the necessi…

Over the past decades, Turing patterns have been commonly used as chemical models to understand symmetry-breaking processes observed in biology. Such an approach has yielded numerous insights and novel patterning behaviors. Most of this information was obtained from experiments performed with static domains, ignoring a relevant mechanism to biological systems, which is growth. Scientific …
