We are excited to announce that the BBSRC has awarded the group and collaborators at the Universities of Bristol, Portsmouth, East Anglia and UCL, £4.9m for the grant entitled ‘Creating and comprehending the circuitry of life: precise biomolecular design of multi-centre redox enzymes for a synthetic metabolism’. This has been funded as part of the BBSRC’s flagship Strategic Longer and Larger (sLoLa) grant scheme, and provides 5 years of funding to build completely new protein-based circuitry, catalysts and light harvesting assemblies.
