This $685,925 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research at Georgia Tech Research Corporation to develop novel graph neural networks and machine learning strategies to understand, predict, and design allosteric transcription factors. The NSF Division of Chemistry and Divisions of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems and Information and Intelligent Systems are jointly supporting this work under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).

Principal investigators Corey J. Wilson, Matthew J. Realff, and Yao Xie at Georgia Tech will combine experimental and computational tools to decipher structure-activity patterns in naturally occurring and engineered transcription factors at the molecular level. They aim to understand the rules governing allostery communication, with the goal of enabling the design of new transcription factors for applications like manipulating gut bacteria composition. The project's machine learning approaches could potentially be applied to other complex network problems beyond the designated protein systems. The three-year award began in September 2022 and will provide insights to address the challenging problem of allosteric communication at the molecular level.
