The National Science Foundation awarded a $528,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of California Irvine for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant will support research to unravel the principles of catalytic diversity in the carotenoid oxygenase superfamily. Specifically, funds will be used for supplies to conduct variable temperature, variable field magnetic circular dichroism, resonance Raman, and other spectroscopies and stopped flow kinetics on intermediates of carotenoid oxygenases prepared by the Principal Investigator's laboratory. Additionally, $50,000 of the total award amount was provided as a sub-award to Stanford University for supplies to support running similar spectroscopies and kinetics on the prepared intermediates. Both awards will further the program's goals of advancing mathematical and physical sciences knowledge and understanding of major issues.
