Project description:
Enzyme-catalysed reactions are among the most ubiquitous and elegant chemical processes in nature. They sustain virtually all life functions and underpin numerous biotechnological applications. In living systems, enzymes are often organised into reaction cascades, where multiple enzymes act sequentially to convert substrates into products, and are frequently clustered within microcompartments and membrane-bound organelles. Such organisation can enhance catalytic efficiency, suppress undesirable side reactions, and regulate metabolic fluxes. Inspired by these natural systems, synthetic enzyme assemblies and nanocages have been developed for applications ranging from biocatalysis to nanomedicine. However, the physical principles governing their performance remain poorly understood, largely because enzymatic cascades span spatial and temporal scales that are difficult to capture within a single computational framework.This project aims to develop a novel multiscale simulation framework for modelling enzymatic processes across molecular, cellular, and biotechnological scales. The framework will be used to establish predictive design principles for optimising synthetic enzyme cascades and nanocage-based biocatalytic systems. The project will be carried out in collaboration with Forschungszentrum Jülich and Queen’s University Belfast, which will provide experimental validation and characterisation Key responsibilities include:
The successful candidate will develop a multiscale simulation framework for enzymatic systems and apply it to study how enzyme proximity, macromolecular crowding, and nanocaging regulate cascade efficiency. They will contribute to scientific publications and disseminate results at national and international conferences
