UT Arlington researchers receive NSF grant to study new molecular model for how motor proteins move

UT Arlington researchers have been awarded a $300,000 National Science Foundation grant to study a new model for how motor proteins behave in the body. Their study could radically change the face of biology by explaining how proteins move and interact with other biological systems, said Jean-Pierre Bardet, dean of the UT Arlington College of Engineering. “If proven, their study could radically change the face of engineering and science at the nano scale and our understanding of the dynamics and movement of very small objects in a fluid environment,” said Jean-Pierre Bardet, dean of
