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-核酸相互作用的调节。她可能会利用她的一汽获奖来测量原核细胞易位的速度和相互作用，以回答关于这一过程机制的几个问题。由于这些实验需要对几个部件进行表征和一些困难的动力学测量，因此很可能需要几年时间才能对这些机械问题得出有意义的答案。这一提议实现了一汽的目标，即1)在研究和教学的学术生涯中表彰优秀和有前途的女科学家和工程师，2)促进她们的职业生涯的进一步发展。

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.
