This federal Project Grant award of $597,573.00 was issued by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The award supports advanced structural and dynamic studies of large protein and protein-nucleic acid complexes and assemblies that play key roles in human health and disease. The research aims to provide atomic-level insights into the structure, dynamics, interactions, and function of chromatin complexes and amyloid fibrils formed by prion protein variants. Specifically, the project will:

  1. Investigate the conformational dynamics of histones and chromatin-binding proteins to advance the understanding of gene transcriptional regulation.

  2. Decipher the structural basis of prion protein amyloid strains and cross-seeding barriers to gain insights into the pathogenesis of prion and other neurodegenerative diseases.

The research will leverage integrated experimental and computational approaches, including solid-state NMR and cryo-electron microscopy, to provide atomic-resolution insights. This 5-year project is being conducted by The Ohio State University, a premier public research university with extensive experience in federal contract and grant awards.
