Abstract
The central theme here is the engineering of new biomolecular materials. An essential aspect is the understanding and control of biomolecular interactions particularly the pH dependence. This topic is highly challenging and extremely important in many bioprocesses. Based on our joined experience and the development of novel theoretical methods, we want to enhance the knowledge of the fund…

Abstract
Electrostatic interactions in and between biomolecules play an important role in the understanding and the control of the behaviour of proteins and mixtures of biopolymers, including several systems of considerable relevance both in the life sciences and in (bio)technology. In this research proposal, we intend to evaluate the effect of the charge regulation mechanism in the increase of el…
