Structure-Function Studies of Membrane Proteins Involved in Quorum Sensing and the Pathogenicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
| Summary |
SFI: Investigatorship Award. PI, M. Caffrey. Direct costs 2,521,216.
The major goal of this project is to crystallize and to solve the X-ray structure of a select group of membrane proteins involved in quorum sensing and the pathogenicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There is no overlap with the current proposal.

The Structural Biology of Membrane Proteins |
| Summary |
PI, M. Caffrey. . Total Award, 2.45m.
The purpose of this award was to enable the PI to establish a research program in the area of membrane structural and functional biology at The University of Limerick, Ireland. The bulk of the funding for this project was directed to equipping the lab at UL with X-ray and other biochemical/biophysical instrumentation, and to support a limited number of personnel. The University of Limerick does not have a strong tradition in fundamental research in the biosciences. The PI's charge is to contribute to getting such activity underway. His appointment at UL is strictly a research position and does not require teaching.
