The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Professor Bing Gong of the State University of New York at Buffalo. The grant supports a 3-year research project to study the function, properties, and catalytic behavior of short polyamides with spirally folded helical conformations, known as "hollow helices." The goal is to develop these synthetic foldamers as enzyme-like catalysts that can...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $575,000 Project Grant titled "DEVELOPING NEW CATALYTIC REACTIVITY OF EARTH-ABUNDANT ORGANOCHALCOGEN COMPLEXES" to the University of Washington under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program.
