FAW: Biophysical Suudies of Eucaryotic mRNA Translation

戈斯博士的研究目标是了解蛋白质合成和蛋白质-核酸相互作用的调控。她可能会利用她的FAW奖来测量原核易位的速率和相互作用，以回答有关这一过程机制的几个问题。由于这些实验需要对几个组分进行表征和一些困难的动力学测量，因此可能需要几年的时间才能对这些机制问题给出有意义的答案。为表彰在科研、教学等学术领域表现突出、有发展前途的女科学家、女工程师，促进她们事业的进一步发展，提出了本计划。

Dr. Goss' research goals are understanding the regulation of protein synthesis and protein-nucleic acid interactions. She will likely use her FAW award to measure rates and interactions of prokaryotic translocation in order to answer several questions about the mechanism of this process. Since these experiments require characterization of several components and a number of difficult kinetic measurements, it is likely to take several years to yield significant answers to these mechanistic questions. This proposal fulfills the FAW objectives which are 1) to recognize outstanding and promising women scientists and engineers in academic careers of research and teaching and 2) to facilitate the further development of their careers.
