Acquisition of an Area Detector - Rotating Anode Data Collection System

将获得一个x射线晶体系统，包括一个x射线发生器、一个区域探测器和相关的计算设备，以支持生物技术的研究。结构生物学、分子生物学、神经科学、细胞生物学和生物化学等领域的各种各样的项目将通过新设备得到加强。支持的项目包括豌豆凝集素和凝集素突变体的研究，以及其他物种的凝集素；胰蛋白酶抑制剂复合物；黄素蛋白 脱氢酶;补充因素;更小的有机分子。重点是碳水化合物结合蛋白实验。新设备将允许确定这些大分子的分子结构。

An X-ray crystallographic system including and X-ray generator, an area detector, and associated computing equipment will be acquired to support research in biotechnology. A wide variety of projects in structural biology, molecular biology, neurosciences, cellular biology, and biochemistry will be enhanced by the new equipment. Among the projects to be supported are studies on pea lectins and lectin mutants, as well as lectins from other species; trypsin inhibitor complexes; flavoprotein dehydrogenases; complement factor; and smaller organic molecules. A strong emphasis will be carbohydrate-binding protein experiments. The new equipment will allow the molecular structure of these macromolecules to be determined.
