Jasmina Sabolović

• PhD in Physics, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, Croatia

• Topics: Development of mathematical models for description of flexibility of a metal coordination polyhedron by means of molecular mechanics (MM) method; development of MM force fields for prediction and simulation of structural and thermodynamic properties of transition metal complexes with bioligands (mostly copper(II) amino acid complexes) as isolated systems, in crystalline surroundings, and in aqueous solution. Quantum chemical calculations of physicochemical properties for copper(II) amino acid complexes (conformational analysis, structural properties, energy landcapes, Fermi contact shifts).
