NFRF Exploration Grant: Info Webinar, Panel Discussion and Q&A Session

When:
Thursday, June 15, 2023
1:30 PM – 3:00 PM
Where:
Virtual - Microsoft Teams
Find on Campus Map
Description:

Join VPR staff and special guests for an Info Webinar, Panel Discussion and Q&A Session about the NFRF Exploration Grant.

The goal of the New Frontiers in Research Exploration stream is to inspire high-risk, high-reward and interdisciplinary research. Exploration grants support research that pushes boundaries into exciting new areas. Researchers are encouraged to think “outside of the box,” undertake research that would defy current paradigms, and bring disciplines together in unexpected ways and from bold, innovative perspectives. With the Exploration stream, there is recognition that innovation often carries risk; proposals for high-risk research projects that have the potential to deliver game-changing impacts are strongly encouraged.

Exploration stream grants support projects that:

  • bring disciplines together beyond traditional disciplinary or common interdisciplinary approaches;
  • propose to explore something new, which might fail; and
  • have the potential for significant impact.

Panellists:

2018 and 2022 NFRF Awardee and 2020 Multidisciplinary Panel Reviewer:

  • Dr. Chantelle Capicciotti  (Assistant Professor Biological & Organic Chemistry) 

2021 NFRF Awardees:

Exploring the Diversity of Unusual Sugar Biosynthesis

Many natural products derive their biological activities from their sugar components. Changing the structures of these sugar moieties can profoundly impact the biological properties of the glycosylated parent compounds. This has led to the modification of natural products with alternative sugar moieties by exploiting the sugar biosynthetic machinery. Realizing the potential of this approach requires both an understanding of the biosynthetic pathway of each target sugar and a detailed mechanistic knowledge of the key enzymes. Scientists have thus begun to unravel the biochemical principles underlying the assembly of glycosylated natural products wherein a core set of enzyme activities mix and match to synthesize structurally diverse carbohydrates. Mechanistic investigation of the responsible biosynthetic enzymes has also revealed several cases involving unique and interesting chemistry to accomplish the specific biosynthetic transformations. Carbohydrate biosynthesis in secondary metabolism has thus been found to include instances of radical mediated chemical transformations, some of which are catalysed by radical SAM enzymes. The biosynthetic roles of selected enzymes in this group, their mechanisms of catalysis, and the insights they can offer for understanding natural product biosynthesis and radical SAM enzymology will be discussed.
