This $140,390 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at the University of Illinois to develop porous peptide materials inspired by the modular architecture of proteins. The key objectives are to establish predictable strategies for making these porous peptide frameworks by combining peptides with tailored aromatic π-stacking groups, which are...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $404,662 to Brandeis University to support research exploring novel synthetic approaches for selective functionalization of olefins using stable peroxides. Professor Hao Xu and his students at Brandeis University will develop new iron-catalyzed methods for selective diazidation/diamination and fluoroalkyl transfer reactions on a broad range...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports the development of experimental and theoretical frameworks for optimizing targeted protein degrader compounds. The $492,000 award, spanning July 2024 to June 2029, allows Professor Ferguson at the University of California, San Diego to evaluate the kinetic parameters of targeted protein degradation across the kinome and develop new...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $418,579 to Cornell University to develop a new class of bioconjugates to improve the intracellular delivery of peptide-based proteolysis targeting chimeras (PEPTACs) for proteome-editing applications. The key objectives are to study the impact of conjugation site on antibody-PEPTAC conjugate (APC) transport and the release kinetics of PEPTAC-cell...
This $650,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry supports the research of Dr. Raphael Florentino Ribeiro of Emory University. The award, effective December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2028, aims to develop new theoretical approaches and computational methods for investigating chemical phenomena in microenvironments that confine light and interact strongly with matter. The research will computationally explore strategies to achieve...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049), provides $610,326 to Texas A&M University to investigate the ability of specific acid-base complexes to interconvert between an inner, covalently-bonded form and a more loosely-held outer form. The project aims to leverage this phenomenon for the discovery of next-generation catalysts, including photocatalysts, while also contributing to the fundamental...
This Project Grant award of $510,759 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry supports a research collaboration led by Professors Andrew Mitchell of Illinois State University and Dean Tantillo of UC-Davis. The goal is to develop new chemical reactions with connections to biology, medicine, physics, materials, and environmental sustainability. Key products include: Advancing oxidopyrylium-based [5+2] cycloaddition reactions to construct important heterocyclic small...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $540,000 in funding to Professor Boone Prentice's research group at the University of Florida. The funding supports the development of experimental and computational methods to rapidly differentiate the chemical structures of lipids and metabolites, which play vital roles in cellular functions. The team aims to leverage...
Colorado State University Sponsored Programs Division was awarded a three-year $406,500 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to develop chemical tools to investigate phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs) in the Corynebacterineae suborder of bacteria. Under the award beginning July 1, 2023, Professors Benjamin Swarts of Central Michigan University and Mary Jackson of Colorado State University will synthesize carbohydrate-based probes...
This Project Grant award of $555,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research by Professor James Allen and Dr. Joann Williams of Arizona State University to study how proteins control proton-coupled electron transfer reactions. The researchers aim to create reversible, long-lived electron and proton transfer processes that mimic biological systems. By manipulating bacterial reaction...
