- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research on a new class of materials called protein-like polymers (PLPs). The $170,954 award funds a collaborative research effort to study how these PLP materials can mimic the structure and function of proteins, enabling them to interact with and penetrate biological membranes and cells. The goal is to elucidate the mechanisms by which...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded a $234,925 Project Grant to the University of Florida. The funding supports research conducted by Professor Kate Carroll to investigate post-translational protein cysteine modifications and the chemical reactivity of sulfur. The research explores how different cysteine thiol group modifications impact the properties of the sulfur atom, which is essential for understanding the role...
- This $480,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of novel approaches for assembling three-dimensional protein biomaterials. The primary goal is to create "coordinated protein frameworks" (CPFs) - extended protein lattices with defined geometries and tunable distances between the assembled proteins. This work leverages non-canonical amino acids to precisely control the...
