Scientific activity
Protein structure to function relationship:
a. conformational stability studies of proteins by equilibrium unfolding measurements;
b. kinetic measurements of the folding/unfolding process of metal containing proteins;
c. structural and functional behavior of monomeric and oligomeric enzymes under high pressure condition.
Spectroscopic techniques:
A. Di Venere has a very good knowledge of fluorescence dynamics (both in phase and time-resolved techniques), circular dichroism and rotational dynamics measurements of proteins in solution.
She is author of about 30 scientific publications (IF 75) in the fields of optical spectroscopy of biological molecules, fluorescence instrumentation and biomaterials.
Member of the Italian Society of Biochemistry (SIB), National Institute of Physics of Matter and of Nast project, University of Tor Vergata.
