The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) awarded a $553,775 Project Grant under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) to the University of California, Santa Barbara. The grant, with a performance period from April 2025 to March 2029, will fund research to develop a novel photobiocatalysis strategy that leverages pyridoxal radical biocatalysis to produce stereoselective non-canonical amino acids. This innovative approach aims to create biomanufacturing capabilities for biomedically valuable compounds that are not easily accessible through traditional chemical or biological synthesis methods. The research is expected to eliminate the need for tedious protecting group manipulations, providing a modular, convergent, and highly stereoselective approach to manufacturing these important compounds.
