معرفی
Antonio Rosato is an Associate Professor at the University of Florence, affiliated with the Magnetic Resonance Center and Department of Chemistry. His research spans experimental and computational structural biology, focusing on metalloproteins and their biophysical properties.
- Educational background: PhD in Chemistry (1998), cum laude graduate in Chemistry (1995).
His work integrates NMR spectroscopy with bioinformatics to study paramagnetic metalloproteins, develop structural databases (e.g., MetalPDB), and utilize distributed computing infrastructures like WeNMR. Key contributions include methodologies for solution structure determination and thermodynamic stability analysis.
Recent research trends emphasize protein structure prediction with sparse NMR data, metal site identification in genomes, and computational approaches for biologically relevant interactions. His collaborations involve international projects funded by the European Commission.
- Scientific awards: Premio Nazionale Federchimica (1996), Sapio NMR Junior Prize (2001), Gastone De Santis Prize (2005), Raffaello Nasini Prize (2009).
As principal investigator for the University of Florence in initiatives like WeNMR, he has co-authored ~120 scientific articles. His H-index is 42 (ISI) and 46 (Google Scholar), reflecting significant contributions to structural biology and metalloprotein research.
