This National Science Foundation project grant of $512,676 will fund research at Duke University from August 2022 to July 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to advance understanding of mechanosensitive channels in bacteria through single-molecule force spectroscopy experiments using an atomic force microscope. Investigators will observe the opening of individual mechanosensitive channels in living E. coli and B. subtilis bacteria in response to mechanical...
This $461,575 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Earlham College to investigate how the bacterial enzyme ProXP-X recognizes and binds to both L- and D-amino acids. The project aims to determine the specific mechanisms by which ProXP-X distinguishes between L- and D-amino acids, as well as how this enzyme protects bacterial cells from the toxicity of D-amino acids. The findings will advance the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $792,584 to Old Dominion University and its affiliated research foundation to develop multi-resolution docking methods and computational modeling tools for cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). The 5-year project aims to advance flexible fitting and refinement of AlphaFold2 models, improve...
This Project Grant award of $222,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (47.049 CFDA) program supports research at Bryant University to develop new chemical biology tools for studying peptidoglycan metabolism in bacteria. Led by Dr. Christopher Reid, the project aims to expand on the team's previous work with the inhibitor masarimycin to create an array of novel glycosyl triazole and diamide compounds that can probe the degradative steps of...
This $401,253 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training program will support research at The Pennsylvania State University to elucidate novel cyclic nucleotide signaling pathways and physiological effects in bacteria.
