Rational Design Of Multifunctional Enzyme-Like Catalysts For Assembly-Line Chemical Synthesis, David Michaelis

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The main objectives of this proposal was to publish our preliminary findings in peptide catalysis and then submit applications for external funding. Both of these objectives were accomplished during the grant period. In the Fall of 2017, we published our first paper on the development of our new enzyme-like catalysts (ACS Catal. 2017, 7, 7704–7708). This publication should serve as a springboard for additional publications in the area (on which we are currently working) and help ensure external funding for this project. During 2017-2018, we submitted 3 grant applications to the NIH to help support this project. These submissions have …
