RUI: Acquisition of a Transmission Electron Microscope for Research in Cell Biology and Biochemistry

这项提案要求获得资金以获得一台透射式电子显微镜。该仪器将用于研究所的几个单位的各种项目，包括：研究精子与卵子结合后被囊精子线粒体的运动，阐明包括铁蛋白、甘氨酰-tRNA合成酶和透明质酸在内的几种蛋白质的拓扑结构，酵母细胞周期中与生长相关的临界阈值的生化基础，以及，软体动物神经系统中已识别神经元之间突触相互作用的形态基础。

This proposal requests funds to obtain a transmission electron microscope. The instrument will be used in several units of the institution for a variety of projects including: studies of tunicate sperm mitochondrion movement following sperm to egg binding, elucidation of the topographic structure of several proteins including ferritin, glycyl-tRNA synthetase and hyalin, the biochemical basis for the growth-related critical threshold in the yeast cell cycle and, the morphological basis for synaptic interactions among identified neurons in the molluscan nervous system.
