The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $873,692 Project Grant to the University of Tennessee under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports research by Dr. Joshua Bacille at the University of Tennessee to develop chemical probes and methods for precision metabolic labeling and detection of terpenes and prenylated molecules. This will enable cell-specific isotopic labeling and enrichment studies of the isoprenoid...
This $299,396 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the role of lipids in modulating synaptic plasticity of ion channels. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the two-year award to the University of Tennessee will elucidate the microscopic mechanisms involved in ion transport across membrane-associated protein channels. Researchers will focus on dynamic and structural features of biological membranes and leverage non-invasive scattering...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry has awarded a 3-year, $450,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop and characterize chemistries for generating dissipative phospholipid vesicles (liposomes) that exist in a non-equilibrium state and are sustained by chemical fuel sources. This work aims to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying dynamic...
This $400,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at the University of Tennessee Knoxville to develop conductive purine-containing copolymers for potential use in optoelectronic devices or imaging and sensing applications. Principal investigators Michael S. Kilbey and Brian K. Long will perform small molecule chemistry and synthesis of oligomers and fully conjugated...
This $534,974 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry supports the development of native-like peptoid macrodiscs and advanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods for structural studies of membrane proteins. The principal investigator, Professor Alexander Nevzorov and his research group at North Carolina State University (NC State), are designing synthetic lipid-based membrane systems to enable high-resolution NMR spectroscopy of these...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry has awarded a $303,509 Project Grant to Professor Young-Jin Lee and his team at Iowa State University to develop analytical technologies for advancing spatial metabolomics. Under this 3-year grant, the researchers will explore the use of on-tissue chemical derivatization (OTCD) coupled with mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) as a tool for untargeted spatial metabolomics. The key objectives are to: 1) develop bioinformatics tools to improve...
This $391,303 National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry Project Grant will support the development of new panchromatic supramolecular assemblies for light harvesting. Principal Investigator Victor Nemykin of the University of Tennessee will prepare and characterize a set of electron-donating porphyrinoids paired with novel electron-accepting chromophores such as bodipy, aza-bodipy, and mb-dipy derivatives. These new molecules aim to outperform commonly used carbon nanomaterials as...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a 3-year, $389,999 Project Grant to Florida State University (FSU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop new approaches to characterize the structural dynamics of proteins that play critical roles in chemical reactions within biological cells. The project, led by Dr. Christian Bleiholder, will combine and enhance the capabilities of tandem-ion mobility spectrometry coupled with mass...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,200,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Washington to conduct research on liquid-liquid phase separation in lipid membranes. The 4-year project aims to: 1) test if asymmetric lipid vesicles phase separate similar to flat membranes; 2) develop new methods to determine lipid ratios in coexisting membrane phases and analyze lipid compositions of vesicles; and 3) use Raman imaging and...
