Professor EunSuk Kim of Brown University was awarded a three-year, $450,223 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support research investigating iron-sulfur clusters as biological sensors through synthetic modeling studies. Specifically, the grant will fund mechanistic investigations of how 4Fe-4S clusters react with nitric oxide and the characterization of novel iron nitrosyl products. The research will also synthesize and study mitoneet model clusters to correlate cluster bonding properties with transfer activity, and synthesize persulfide-ligated Fe-S clusters to examine the role of persulfides in the iron-sulfur repair process. Insights gained from this fundamental research have the potential to enhance understanding of iron-sulfur complexes in biology and their roles in electron transfer and interactions with signaling molecules like nitric oxide and persulfides. The grant period is from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025.
