This $891,697 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research to understand how fishes have adapted to the high pressure conditions of the deep ocean. The research will use techniques in genomics, chemistry, biophysics, and physiology to compare the genetic code and protein structures of fishes across habitat depths, from surface waters to the deepest ocean trenches. This will provide insights into how high...
This $801,972 National Science Foundation project grant funded quantitative molecular dynamics research on extremophile metalloproteins through 2026. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Seti Institute to study proteins from organisms thriving in extreme environments like high temperatures and pressures. The Seti Institute will lead experiments using novel synchrotron techniques like nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy and time domain...
This $174,769 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports the acquisition of a high-pressure stopped-flow spectrophotometer/fluorimeter system at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The instrument, the first of its kind in the U.S., will be housed in RPI's Analytical Biochemistry Core Facility to study biological systems under extreme conditions. It will enable research on the effects of high hydrostatic pressure on biological macromolecules and enzyme kinetics, furthering understanding...
