    Computational Studies of Oxygen Reduction Catalysts 
    Kirchhoff, Björn (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2021-05-28)
    The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of central importance in the development of more efficient and durable fuel cells and computer simulations can be used to help explain and predict properties of ORR catalysts. In this thesis, various simulation methods ...

    Oestrogenic Regulation of Mitochondrial Dynamics 
    Kalkhoran, Siavash Beikoghli; Kararigas, Georgios (2022-02-01)
    Biological sex influences disease development and progression. The steroid hormone 17β-oestradiol (E2), along with its receptors, is expected to play a major role in the manifestation of sex differences. E2 exerts pleiotropic effects in a system-specific ...

    QM/MM calculations reveal a bridging hydroxo group in a vanadium nitrogenase crystal structure 
    Benediktsson, Bardi; Þórhallsson, Albert Þ.; Bjornsson, Ragnar (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2018)
    A new 1.2 Å crystal structure of vanadium nitrogenase, isolated under turnover conditions, recently revealed a light atom ligand (OH or NH) replacing the bridging S2B sulfide of the FeV cofactor. QM/MM calculations on the new structure now reveal the ...
