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 from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $450,000 to Montana State University from November 2022 through October 2025. The funding supports research by Professor Mary Cloninger to develop sugar-modified, highly branched compounds called glycodendrimers to study the roles of galectins in cell-to-cell interactions. Specifically, Dr. Cloninger and her team will synthesize...
This $597,945 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research by Tobias W. Giessen at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor to investigate the structure and function of peptide-modifying enzyme filaments found in bacteria and archaea. The proposed work will generate new insights into the self-assembly and catalytic activity of these filamentous enzymes, which...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $339,471 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Ferris State University to support research on the chemoenzymatic fluorination of aromatic compounds. The project, led by Dr. S. Eric Nybo, aims to develop new enzymatic tools for incorporating fluorine atoms into natural products. The research will involve undergraduate students in studying the biosynthesis of organofluorine molecules, training them in NMR...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $575,000 Project Grant to the University of Colorado Boulder under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The grant funds fundamental research on the development of new stereoselective synthesis methods for challenging carbohydrate and glycomimetic systems of biomedical significance. Principal Investigator Maciej Walczak and his team will focus on cross-coupling reactions using stereodefined...
This $290,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at Michigan State University on singular-enthalpic limits in polymer morphology from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to develop and analyze models of the entropic and enthalpic interactions between diblock polymers in suspensions, to better understand the role of polymer substructure in...
This $126,656 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research effort led by Professors Julie Biteen of the University of Michigan and David Masiello of the University of Washington. The goal is to develop a multifunctional, high-sensitivity instrument to measure plasmon-enhanced chirality and enable sensing of subtle, heterogeneous changes in chirality at the single-molecule...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $450,001 to support a collaborative research project led by Professor Stanislav Groysman of Wayne State University and Professor Richard L. Lord of Grand Valley State University. The project aims to develop new synthetic routes towards valuable organic compounds like cyclopropanes, azetidinimines, and ketenimines that have important pharmaceutical...
The National Science Foundation awarded a 4-year, $575,000 Project Grant to Professor Babak Borhan at Michigan State University (MSU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The project focuses on developing new methodologies to rapidly identify the chirality (three-dimensional shape) of organic molecules, which is critical for understanding their physical and biological characteristics. Key objectives include designing and synthesizing supramolecular sensor...
