Molecular and Cellular Systems: A Research Program for Identification and Characterization of Protein Complexes

Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Michelle Buchanan, Principal Investigator
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Steve Wiley, Principal Investigator
$23.4 million over 5 years
Funded: FY2002

Research Partners:

This team, led by Oak Ridge and Pacific Northwest National Laboratories, will develop and use the technologies needed to identify and characterize the complete set of multiprotein complexes, the molecular machines of life, within a microbial cell. The research will focus on two microbes—one that plays a significant role in earth's carbon cycle and another with an ability to clean up metals in contaminated soil.
