International Research Fellow Awards: Supramolecular Synthesis of Enzyme-Mimicking Materials

9806429卡茨国际研究员奖计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行3至24个月的研究。该项目的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，并提供了使用国外独特或互补的设施、专业知识和实验条件的机会。该奖项将资助Alexander Katz博士为期12个月的博士后研究访问，与Mir Wais Hosseini博士在法国斯特拉斯堡的Louis Pasteur大学勒贝尔研究所合作。该项目涉及仿酶材料的超分子合成。他们将使用金属有机分子作为构建催化点的基础。PI将催化分子结合到金属氧化物骨架中，以实现刚性和保护活性中心。催化反应可以模拟自然发生的酶和抗体的催化反应。这将导致工程和建设更复杂和复杂的催化场所。Mir Wais Hosseini博士因开发自组装有机系统而享誉国际。他的实验室被认为是超分子化学的圣地。***

9806429 Katz The International Research Fellow Awards Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty- four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a twelve-month postdoctoral research visit by Dr. Alexander Katz to work with Dr. Mir Wais Hosseini at the Institute Le Bel, University Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg, France. This project involves the supramolecular synthesis of enzyme- mimicking materials. They will use metallorganic molecules as building blocks for engineering catalytic sites. The PI will incorporate catalytic molecules into a metal oxide framework for rigidity and to protect the active site. The catalytic reactions can emulate the naturally occurring catalytic reactions of enzymes and antibodies. This will lead to the engineering and construction of more intricate and complex catalytic sites. Dr. Mir Wais Hosseini is internationally renowned for developing self-assembling organic systems. His lab is known as a mecca for supramolecular chemistry. ***
