This Project Grant award, totaling $605,020, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Professor Byron Purse of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at San Diego State University. The funding supports research to determine how molecular structure and local environment influence key properties of fluorescent nucleobase analogues (FBAs), which are synthetic molecules that mimic the natural genetic bases in DNA and RNA. The research aims to advance the understanding of how fluorophore chemical structure affects fluorescence and how fluorescence changes in response to the local chemical environment, particularly when incorporated within DNA and RNA. The broader impacts include enabling new tools for genetic research and biotechnology, as well as training graduate and undergraduate students in synthetic and physical organic chemistry with interdisciplinary applications. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of July 1, 2025 and a completion date of June 30, 2028.
