Through the NSF-MRSEC program, and by pooling resources and facilities, we established an internationally-reaching Genetically Engineered Materials Science and Engineering Center (GEMSEC) that will enable new collaborative scientific, educational, and outreach activities in molecular biomimetics. The scientific objectives of GEMSEC, pursued by a single Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) include the fundamental issues in: i. Combinatorial biology and post selection engineering of inorganic/synthetic binding peptides; ii. Mechanisms of peptide-molecular recognition; iii. Computational biology and bioinformatics; iv. Natural and synthetic designer proteins as molecular templates; v.....
