Dr. Nesci's research is focused on mitochondrial bioenergetics and cell metabolism. In particular, his interest is directed to the study of enzymatic catalysis of mitochondrial ATP synthase due to post-translational chemical modifications and the physiological role of the enzyme activated by calcium in the mitochondrial permeability transition pore formation; the molecular mechanisms involved in the biological transduction of energy in mitochondria; cell metabolism analysis; studies of enzymatic kinetic approaches on the structure-activity relationship (SAR) and function.
