Fellowship: Chemistry, Biochemistry and Biophysics – F04
The F04B panel reviews fellowship applications that address basic structure-function relationships in a variety of systems, using biophysical and biochemical approaches. The emphasis is on elucidating structure and function as well as dynamic characteristics of individual proteins, macromolecular assemblies and nucleic acids, as well as their complexes.
Review Dates
A roster for the panel will be posted here, at least 30 days prior to the review meeting
Topics
- Enzymology, catalytic mechanisms, involving proteins metalloenzymes or nucleic acid catalysts.
- Chemistry of protein associated metal centers.
- Metal ion homeostasis and metabolism.
- Biophysical studies of amyloid and prion proteins.
- Structure-function relationships of nucleic acids, proteins, glycoproteins, and lipid bilayers.
- Macromolecule folding or misfolding, conformation analysis, and processing.
- Signal transduction, receptor-ligand interactions, and macromolecular interactions.
- Membrane protein structure determination.
- Membrane architecture: lipid-protein interactions, membrane protein folding, assembly, structure, and dynamics.
