The National Science Foundation of Iran, with the aim of providing scientific direction and special support to prominent thinkers and researchers of the country to enter and deepen research in the field of chemical biology, supports this research priority in the form of a public call, up to three times the normal conditions of projects
According to the public relations report of the National Science Foundation of Iran (INSF), this foundation aims to provide scientific guidance and special support to prominent thinkers and researchers of the country to enter and deepen research in the field of chemical biology, up to three times the normal conditions of these projects. To support the priority of research in the form of a public call.
Biological chemistry is a joint field between chemistry and biology. This field involves the use of chemical techniques, analysis, and often small molecules produced through synthetic chemistry, to study and manipulate biological systems. Biological chemistry is a combination of organic biochemistry, biochemistry, cell biology and pharmacology
In this branch of science, the interactions of chemical substances including natural small molecules such as lipids, carbohydrates, peptides or drug molecules and metals are evaluated and the details of the mechanism of action are investigated
:Some of the major titles supported in this call include the following
• Development of semi-synthetic fluorescent sensor proteins to measure key metabolites in living cells
• Production of small molecules to control protein function in living cells
• Engineering new protein functions for applications in functional proteomics
• Synthesis of new spectroscopic markers for use in cell biology
• Mechanistic studies on drug candidates
In order to participate in this call, interested parties and applicants can submit their project through the Kuiper system by mentioning the code "Sc40210
