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。 她将 可能会用她的一汽奖来衡量利率和互动， 原核易位，以回答几个问题 这个过程的机制。 由于这些实验 需要表征几个组件和一些 很难进行动力学测量， 来为这些机械问题提供有意义的答案。 该提案实现了一汽的目标，即：1）认识到 杰出和有前途的女科学家和工程师， 研究和教学的学术生涯，2）促进 进一步发展自己的职业生涯。

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.
