This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $249,990 will support research into innovative structural characterization of biomolecular ions through mass spectrometry and infrared action spectroscopy. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Professor Daniel Thomas and students at the University of Rhode Island will study peptide and RNA chain folding properties by cooling samples in helium nanodroplets and analyzing infrared light absorption. Outreach efforts include mentorship for underrepresented high school students and science programs at local middle schools in collaboration with the Rhode Island Museum of Science and Art. The research aims to unravel the complex free energy landscapes of isolated biomolecular ions using a combination of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and helium nanodroplet isolation infrared action spectroscopy. This foundational work seeks to facilitate studying dynamically disordered systems through kinetic trapping of conformers in nanodroplets. The two-year award period runs from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024.
