The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), through its Office of Sponsored Research, received a $529,988 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). This 3-year grant, effective July 1, 2024, supports the development of new biomimetic model systems that imitate the complex behavior of proteins. Professor Marcey Waters at UNC-CH will lead research to determine the molecular features necessary for creating stimulus-responsive molecules that mimic protein function, including molecular on-off switches and self-assembly into nanomaterials. The goal is to provide better insights into protein function and guidelines for designing new biomimetic smart materials. The broader impacts include interdisciplinary student training and an outreach program to promote higher education in chemistry at minority-serving institutions within the UNC system.
