The National Science Foundation awarded a $240,000 Project Grant to The Board of Trustees of Whitman College under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support research examining ring-cleaving dioxygenase enzymes to establish structure-activity profiles and engineer variants with improved activity toward chlorinated aromatic compounds. Principal Investigator Timothy Machonkin from Whitman College will focus on a hydroquinone dioxygenase and aminophenol dioxygenase, characterizing mutants through kinetic studies and computational modeling to understand substrate specificity determinants. The research has potential to provide insight into how these enzymes bind chlorinated substrates and guide future engineering efforts. The grant also supports undergraduate research experiences at Whitman College from July 2022 to June 2025, with broader impacts including pedagogical and community outreach efforts.
