This $368,110 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to study the structures and properties of key enzymatic intermediates involved in oxygenase chemistry. The research aims to develop peptide-based synthetic models that can mimic the active sites and reactivity of non-heme iron and copper oxygenases, which are critical for metabolism, natural product...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $715,109 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to the University of Illinois to uncover novel heme chemistry in microbial systems. The research aims to establish how divergent bacterial diheme proteins stabilize high-valent bis-FeIV states and utilize these intermediates for site-specific substrate oxidation. Key objectives include addressing outstanding questions related to the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), provides $502,043 in funding to Brandeis University. The research program aims to investigate how transition metals shape catalysis and allostery in metalloproteins, focusing on two key enzyme superfamilies: viral proteases and SAMHD1 dNTPases. The project will dissect the metal-dependent activities of viral proteases from...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $495,117 to the University of Wisconsin System for a project titled "Accessing the Hidden Biosynthetic Capabilities of Fungi". The project aims to advance natural product discovery from filamentous fungi by: (1) elucidating the products of fungal gene clusters encoding unusual enzymes and chemistries, (2) examining how...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding of $450,313, was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859).
