The research aims to determine the...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports research to understand how mutations in the asparagine synthetase (ASNS) enzyme linked to asparagine synthetase deficiency (ASNSD) impact protein dynamics and catalytic activity. The $417,498 project, with a period of performance from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2030, aims to use enzyme kinetics, hydrogen-deuterium...
- This $440,999 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 examine the structure and function of ornithine decarboxylase antizyme (OAZ) RNA, a polyamine sensor, from various organisms. The project aims to: (1) evaluate the specificity and affinity of polyamine binding to OAZ RNAs, (2) investigate the 3D structure of OAZ RNAs, and (3) explore the role of OAZ RNAs...
- This $600,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI program, CFDA 10.310) aims to identify the specific antimicrobial molecules produced by the beneficial bacterium Pseudomonas protegens PBL3 and understand how they inhibit the growth of a pathogenic bacterium that causes a devastating disease in rice crops. The goal is to develop biologically-based solutions to control crop diseases and reduce losses, thereby alleviating...
