The National Science Foundation awarded a $391,499 Project Grant to the University of Colorado Boulder under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) for research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MECHANISMS OF CATALYTIC ENHANCEMENT OF IMMOBILIZED LIPASES BY TUNABLE POLYMER MATERIALS." The three-year award, effective August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024, will support research exploring catalytic enhancement of immobilized lipases through tunable polymer materials. Specifically, the University of Colorado Boulder will collaborate with partners to investigate mechanisms by which tailored polymer substrates can boost the catalytic activity of lipase enzymes immobilized on material surfaces. Insights from this research could enable design of more effective biocatalyst systems with applications in fields such as biomanufacturing and environmental remediation.
