This three-year, $455,159 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research into the self-assembly of collagen-like octadecamers based on the stem region of C1q and related defense collagens. Principal Investigator Jeffrey Hartgerink at William Marsh Rice University will study the hierarchical assembly of collagen mimetic peptides derived from collagen's branch and stem regions using solid phase peptide synthesis,...
Under this $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the New Jersey Institute of Technology will collaborate with the University of Rochester and University of Virginia to investigate the supramolecular assembly of beta-sheet nanofibrils composed of mirror-image peptides. The collaborative team will determine the structure of these systems with near-atomic precision using cryo-electron...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, with a total funding award of $200,000, aims to enhance the design of fluorinated protein fibers and hydrogels for medical applications. The key objectives are to: 1) generate coiled-coil fluorinated fibers for controlled drug delivery, 2) develop fluorinated coiled-coil hydrogels that respond to temperature changes, and 3) assess the potential of these materials as 19F magnetic resonance...
This $115,114 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to develop and characterize novel biomaterials made from folded globular proteins. The project aims to: Experimentally characterize the mechanical response of the protein building blocks at the single-molecule level under varying force, tethering geometry, and solution conditions. Directly relate the observed domain unfolding of the...
This $500,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Northwestern University to develop de novo designed proteins as mechano-responsive junctions in protein-polymer networks. The key objectives are to: (i) synthesize and computationally simulate de novo designed proteins and their respective protein-polymer networks, and (ii) develop techniques for mechanical characterization...
This $1,500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research at Northwestern University to develop innovative protein-based biomaterials. The research aims to (1) engineer mussel foot proteins with superior underwater adhesive properties compared to wild-type sequences, and (2) create resilin-inspired bioelastomers with high strength while retaining natural mechanical resilience. The proposed...
