This is a $663,210.33 grant award to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, to conduct research into the origins and evolution of the ribosome. The work aims to retrace the earliest stages of ribosome formation and investigate the accretion model for how the ribosome, the central catalytic molecule of the protein translation system, may have emerged on the early Earth. This grant is part of the NASA Astrobiology program, supporting objectives related to the origins and evolution of functional biomolecules and Earth's early biosphere. The research leverages bioinformatics, biophysics, and molecular biology methods to create and evaluate ancestral translation system components. There is no set-aside designation for this award.
