Award for research project using vibrational reporters and infrared spectroscopy to study RNA and protein dynamics, funded by NIH with participation from Franklin & Marshall College students.
Description
The project involves using infrared spectroscopy with vibrational reporters to study protein and nucleic acid structure and dynamics. The research includes site-specific genetic incorporation of vibrational reporters, IR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and 2D IR spectroscopy. Franklin & Marshall College undergraduate students will participate in the research. The project is funded by NIH grant PAR-21-155.
