This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) seeks to optimize the structure and amphiphilicity of Peptide-based Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PepTACs) to enhance their ability to induce targeted protein degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. The $316,226 award will fund a 4-year research project to explore structural modifications to PepTACs that can improve...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research on a new class of materials called protein-like polymers (PLPs). The $170,954 award funds a collaborative research effort to study how these PLP materials can mimic the structure and function of proteins, enabling them to interact with and penetrate biological membranes and cells. The goal is to elucidate the mechanisms by which...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate provides $500,000 to Eastern Illinois University to develop peroxisome targeting chemical technologies and tools. Under the award, Professor Beck and his students will adapt peroxisome targeting peptide sequences to create modular moieties that can direct small molecule cargoes to peroxisomes. They intend to characterize these peroxisome interaction moieties to assess cell permeability,...
Cornell University was awarded a $1,000,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences to support research titled "Engineering Photosensory Proteins Through the Better Understanding and Control of Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer Reactions." The award period is from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2025. The grant funding will support basic research conducted under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to advance...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $429,656.00 to Cornell University to conduct research using synthetic biology methods to engineer microorganisms to produce valuable plant natural products. The key objectives are to reconstitute plant biosynthetic machinery in yeast in order to better understand and harness plant enzyme complexes for natural product synthesis. This research aims to develop a more resilient...
Cornell University was awarded a $486,205 project grant from the National Science Foundation to develop sequence programmable triazine-thymine synthetic ligands. The grant is part of NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through advancing knowledge and understanding of major problems. Under the three-year award beginning August 2021, Cornell researchers will design and test synthetic ligands that can be...
Cornell University received a $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program to develop a cell-free biosensing platform integrating transmembrane proteins. The award period is from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. Specifically, the university will utilize recent advances in biotechnology and bioelectronics to establish a process for rapidly assembling customized transmembrane proteins into a biomimetic sensing device without...
This $448,150 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to develop a DNA-based toolbox for the rapid and precise modulation of cell membrane protein-protein interactions (PPIs). The goal is to establish a modular approach using antibodies and aptamers to enable targeted DNA barcoding of cell membrane proteins, particularly receptor tyrosine kinases. This will allow for the controlled stabilization of specific PPI pairs on living...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $498,000 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) for the development of cell-penetrating monobodies. The 3-year project, beginning March 2024, will explore innovative approaches to engineer monobodies - antibody-like proteins - with enhanced cell permeability for potential therapeutic applications. Key objectives include using computational...
