The research on Computational Chemistry that they have been developing for five years by professors José Pedro Cerón Carrasco of the Catholic University of San Antonio de Murcia and Denis Jacquemin of the University of Nantes in France are having a major follow-up by the Royal Society Of English Chemestry, who has already granted five covers of his publications.
Most recently, in the past issue of his prestigious journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, in which he highlights his advances in predicting changes in DNA through electrical pulses.
The cover of the April magazine includes the last article of these two researchers in which they demonstrate how to use electrical pulses of intensity and duration determined to rewrite the genetic sequence, avoiding the degradation of the ends of the DNA, the so-called telomeres.
This aspect is fundamental to ensure a selective damage, a requirement for the application of this "electrotherapy" in living tissues.
These two scientists have focused their research on the use of physical agents, such as electrical pulses or visible radiation, to "correct" the genetic sequence.
In addition, the BIO-HPC Research Group to which Dr. Cerón belongs, works in other areas such as the molecular design of improved drugs, including the study of new molecules with anti-inflammatory, antiviral or anti-tumor properties.
