abstract = {The Up-and-Coming-Scientist section of the current issue of
the Journal of Membrane Biology features the invited essay
by Dr. Mercedes Alfonso-Prieto, Assistant Professor at the
Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ), Germany, and the
Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf, Vogt Institute for
Brain Research. Dr. Alfonso-Prieto completed her doctoral
degree in chemistry at the Barcelona Science Park, Spain, in
2009, pursued post-doctoral research in computational
molecular sciences at Temple University, USA, and then, as a
Marie Curie post-doctoral fellow at the University of
Barcelona, worked on computations of enzyme reactions and
modeling of photoswitchable ligands targeting neuronal
receptors. In 2016, she joined the Institute for Advanced
Science and the Institute for Computational Biomedicine at
the FZJ, where she pursues research on modeling and
simulation of chemical senses. The invited essay by Dr.
Alfonso-Prieto discusses state-of-the-art modeling of
molecular receptors involved in chemical sensing – the
senses of taste and smell. These receptors, and
computational methods to study them, are the focus of Dr.
Alfonso-Prieto’s research. Recently, Dr. Alfonso-Prieto
and colleagues have presented a new methodology to predict
ligand binding poses for GPCRs, and extensive computations
that deciphered the ligand selectivity determinants of
bitter taste receptors. These developments inform our
current understanding of how taste occurs at the molecular
level.},
