Structural Bioinformatics



Structural bioinformatics is the branch of bioinformatics that deals with the analysis and determination of the 3D  structure of biomolecules such as protein, RNA and DNA.
This image represents the merging between informatics and biology and how the integration of biochemical data and computational methods can help in understanding the mechanisms that take place in living cells.

Bilbao



Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain), is often associated with the Guggenheim Museum, an architectural gem designed by Frank Gehry. But Bilbao is much more than the Guggenheim; beside the top level cuisine and breath taking landscapes, one can get lost in the city to find ver nice and uncrowded spots.

More than Wine



The Hoya de Cadenas Estate is an eco-paradise just 100 Km from the city of Valencia. The estate boasts over 200 hectares of the finest local and international vine varieties. Its situation on the slopes of the Sierra de la Bicuerca affords a particular micro-climate with temperature variations from day to night which give the grapes their own special characteristics and encourages the accumulation of highly valued polyphenols. 

The Estate is equipped with all the technology for getting the most out of the land without damaging it; respecting its natural cycles, making best use of water, seeing each vine stock as something able to produce the multiple facets which, like a gemstone, some wines offer to delight all the senses. 

All the vine stocks are supported on trellises and have a local irrigation system, entirely computerised, which is only used when rainfall is scarce. Pruning, pre-pruning and harvesting are all carried out using environmentally friendly techniques to prevent soil erosion and exhaustion.

Pavelló Alemany


One of the fantastic materials chosen by Mies Van der Rohe for the Barcelona Pavillon was the Golden Onyx, to represent the yellow color of the German flag and to proper welcome the Spanish King on the aperture day.

Pavelló Alemany



The Barcelona Pavilion (Catalan: Pavelló alemany; Spanish: Pabellón alemán; "German Pavilion"), designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, was the German Pavilion for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona, Spain. This building was used for the official opening of the German section of the exhibition. It is an important building in the history of modern architecture, known for its simple form and its spectacular use of extravagant materials, such as marble, red onyx and travertine. The same features of minimalism and spectacular can be applied to the prestigious furniture specifically designed for the building, among which the iconic Barcelona chair.
