Projects

Using an engineered protein proxy to constrain protein- mineral interactions

Lead Institution

Oregon State University

Principal Investigator

Markus Kleber

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Objectives: This research intends to contribute to a better mechanistic understanding of protein-mineral attachment by answering questions such as: How do variations in the amino acid sequence of…

The role of protein - mineral interactions for protein cycling in soil and protein extraction efficiency from soils

Lead Institution

Oregon State University

Principal Investigator

Markus Kleber

Project type

Exploratory Research

We intend (1) to improve the ability to detect proteins in physical soil fractions, and (2) to discover preferences of exoenzymes for relevant classes of mineral components in soil. The latter will…

The role of protein-mineral interactions for protein oxidation and hydrolysis

Lead Institution

Oregon State University

Principal Investigator

Markus Kleber

Project type

Exploratory Research

We intend (1) to establish the molecular range of modifications to protein integrity and protein structure as such protein becomes associated with mineral surfaces and (2) to determine how mechanisms…
