This $348,398 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports computational research by Dr. Steffen Lindert and his group at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to improve the understanding and outcomes of covalent labeling mass spectrometry (MS) measurements of proteins.

The key objectives of this project are to: 1) use molecular dynamics simulations to model how different covalent labeling reagents interact with proteins and potentially induce conformational changes, and 2) develop a web server to identify optimal covalent labeling reagents for a given protein sequence. This work aims to enhance the performance and utility of covalent labeling MS, a technique that provides insights into protein conformation and folding. If successful, the research could lead to the use of more minimally invasive covalent labeling methods and the design of new reagents that do not distort the measured protein structure. The project is expected to run from July 2025 to July 2026.
