This $248,508 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of computational tools and a database for modeling protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions involving intrinsically disordered regions. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), key products include high-accuracy prediction of binding regions within disordered sequences using multi-task deep learning models; identification of partner molecules for these regions; and structure...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $125,896 to Western Washington University to conduct research on intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). The project aims to bridge time and length scales of IDP conformations and assemblies using advanced computational methods. Key goals include characterizing the conformational landscape of IDPs, elucidating factors leading to phase separation, and developing...
The Washington University Office of Sponsored Research Services Division has been awarded a $514,876 Project Grant by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will fund a 5-year research project to develop new computational methods for studying the evolution of intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs), which play essential biological roles despite not adopting a defined 3D structure. The project aims to identify signatures of...
This $795,135 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Illinois on protein dynamics under extreme environmental conditions.
