The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $563,387 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The University of Mississippi to investigate the function of an unknown bacterial protein and its role in pilus biogenesis. The project will characterize how this conserved protein, called BRESU_2828, influences the synthesis of bacterial pili, which are surface structures used for attachment and biofilm formation. The research aims to provide insights into the mechanisms...
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 National Science Foundation project grant award of $270,728 provides funding from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025 to support research exploring self-organization of functional nucleic acid supramolecular assemblies with stimuli responsive properties.
