This $526,873 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research at the University of California, Riverside on the mechanisms of protein-protein associations facilitated by molecular "glues". The research aims to computationally model and experimentally investigate how these molecular glues mediate the formation of protein complexes and enhance their biological functions. The project will contribute to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $740,797 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to develop and test new methodologies for the rational design of minimalistic light-switchable single-domain proteins. The goal is to engineer these proteins to bind specifically to target proteins in only one photoswitchable chromophore state, allowing for precise spatial and temporal control...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences and the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems awarded a $240,000 Project Grant to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant supports collaborative research to develop unnatural cofactors that can be deployed as stronger-than-nature thermodynamic driving forces in biomanufacturing processes. This is...
This $100,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program aims to accelerate protein engineering through the integration of cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) methods and advanced laboratory automation. The primary objectives are to develop new AI techniques tailored to the unique challenges of protein engineering, and to leverage these AI capabilities to guide the design and discovery of functional proteins with...
This two-year, $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems will fund research at the Long Beach Research Foundation to develop multi-activity proteins for improved carbohydrate deconstruction. Specifically, the Foundation will produce and test 85 engineered multi-activity proteins containing two catalytic domains each. These proteins aim to increase biomass conversion for alternative fuels and...
This $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to design, build, and test synthetic signaling systems built from computationally-designed de novo protein components. The goal is to develop stable, tunable, and modular signaling systems capable of precisely controlling biological processes, with applications in biotechnology such as engineered cells for...
This $400,546 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The funding will support a collaborative research project between investigators at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and partners in Switzerland to use a rapid gene evolution system called Orthogonal DNA Replication (OrthoRep) to prospectively evolve simple artificial metalloenzymes into advanced biological enzymes. The goal is to understand how enzymes...
This $995,498 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of California, Los Angeles to advance knowledge of cellular mechanobiology and translate findings for sustainable protein production. Funded through the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the research aims to understand how cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli by building a systems-level understanding of the "mechanome." Specific goals include investigating predicted mechanical...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $224,088 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to develop a high-throughput microfluidic platform for the parallel expression, purification, and quantitative assay of over 1,000 protein variants containing non-canonical amino acids. The goal is to better understand the catalytic mechanisms of the enzyme alanine racemase, a...
This $157,688 National Science Foundation Integrative Activities award will support the development of bioactive surfaces through non-covalent protein-polymer conjugation strategies at the University of Southern Mississippi from June 2023 through May 2025. The goal of the project is to create regenerative protein-decorated surfaces with ease of removal and reapplication of active recombinant proteins for applications such as self-cleaning, antibacterial, and therapeutic surfaces. The Principal...
