Grant for Exploratory Research: Specifically Functionalized Fulleroids: Synthesis of Interesting Spheroidal Molecules

本研究的重点是综合和 表征官能化的类富勒烯， 可能与逆转录病毒逆转录酶的活性位点结合 转录酶（RT）以及HIV蛋白酶（HIVP）。 %%% 有了这个探索性研究的小补助金（SGER）， 合成有机计划是支持博士的研究。 弗雷德·伍德尔（Fred Wudl），聚合物和有机固体研究所， 加州大学，圣巴巴拉。 的重点 研究的是新型功能化中空 球状分子，即富勒烯，有可能 逆转录病毒特异性生物活性分子。

The focus of this research is the synthesis and characterization of functionalized fulleroids that have the potential to bind to the active site of retroviral reverse transcriptases (RT) as well as the HIV protease (HIVP). %%% With this Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER), the Synthetic Organic Program is supporting the research of Dr. Fred Wudl of the Institute for Polymers and Organic Solids at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The focus of the research is the synthesis of novel functionalized hollow spheroidal molecules, fulleroids, that have the potential to be retrovirus-specific, biologically active molecules.
