The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $197,237 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System, doing business as Missouri University of Science & Technology (Missouri S&T), through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program. The grant is being used by Professor Shelley Minteer at the University of Utah to develop new electroanalytical tools for investigating enzymes, which are critical biological catalysts with applications in biotechnology and catalysis. Key objectives include enabling direct electron transfer between enzymes and electrode surfaces, using strategies such as incorporating non-natural amino acids and metal-binding peptides. The research will leverage galvanostatic titration and rotating ring-disk electroanalytical methods to study enzyme function and selectivity, with a focus on enzymes like nitrogenase that could enable more efficient production of ammonia. The project also incorporates educational opportunities for high school and college students to inspire interest in STEM disciplines. This award, with a performance period of December 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025, reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific understanding and support the development of innovative technologies.
