Colloidal quantum dot based solar cells
Renewable energy sources are essential for sustainable development of society. Among the different alternatives of the renewable energy sources, solar energy, or photovoltaics (PV), is very attractive. In this project we use colloidal quantum dots as photon sensitizers.

Importance of the Intramolecular Hydrogen Bond on Photochemistry of Anionic Hydroquinone (FADH.) in DNA Photolyase
DNA photolyases are flavoproteins that are responsible for the repair photocycle of UV damaged DNA. The key cofactor in DNA photolyase is flavin molecules. It is believed that with the help of electron-transfer redox cycle of anionic hydroquinone (FADH-), which is the fully reduced form of flavin molecule...

The department of Theoretical Chemistry was established at KTH in 1999. We
are located at the Albanova University Center
- please come and see us! Our work is computer based, and
consists mostly of the modeling of microscopic systems - that is we use mathematical
models to simulate such systems in order to describe their properties, spectra
and reactions. This could mean a molecule, a cluster, a polymer, a segment of
a protein, a functional center in an enzyme, or a species which is dissolved in
a solvent or adsorbed on a surface. The modelling is mostly, but not always, based
on theories related to quantum mechanics. We have common projects among ourselves
and with other biologists, chemists and physicists, here and elsewhere. We are
also involved in teaching and seminars. If you want to learn more about us just
