This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), supports research by Professor Kristina Hakansson and her group at the University of Michigan to improve the characterization of biomolecules using tandem mass spectrometry. The $150,783 award, effective from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028, aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying electron-based dissociation techniques, such as electron capture dissociation (ECD) and electron detachment dissociation (EDD), to enable more accurate structural analysis of compounds like proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. The research seeks to better understand the roles of electron energy, electron flux, and fragmentation pathways in order to enhance the utility of these techniques for applications in drug discovery and understanding the molecular basis of biological systems.
