OLAYA1	Protein dynamics and electron transfer in photosynthesis
Type	Programming/Theory
#students	1
Orientation	Why is the scientific problem of interest at all? Proteins are central to biological electron transfer processes and how their dynamics affect the biological process of interest is a current scientific challenge.
How	How is the research going to shed light on the given problem? We will develop simple theoretical approaches to shed some light on how correlated protein motions affect charge transfer in photosynthesis.
What	What is the specific thing that the student will do, and how does it fit inside the overall project? The student will investigate reaction diffusion models to reproduce experimental data reported in the literature.
