这项奖励为购买蛋白质和DNA化学、DNA、植物保护和生物计算的共享仪器提供资金。该仪器将使佛罗里达大学校园生物技术社区的157名成员受益，他们的研究包括：玉米淀粉基因的分子和遗传特征；哺乳动物线粒体核糖体的结构、功能和进化；分子酶学和蛋白质结构/功能；补体对膜功能的调节；控制核基因调控的因素；哺乳动物和植物线粒体转录和复制的调控；哺乳动物线粒体遗传的遗传分析；RNA病毒的复制；高等植物线粒体的分子生物学；以及细胞培养、体细胞遗传学和禾本科植物的转化。研究人员在植物和哺乳动物的线粒体分子生物学方面都进行了很好的研究，成果丰硕，资金充足。//

This award provides funds for the purchase of shared instrumentation for protein and DNA chemistry, DNA, plant containment, and biological computing. The instrumentation will benefit 157 members of the biotechnology community on the campus of the University of Florida whose research includes: molecular and genetic characterization of starch genes in corn; structure, function, and evolution of mammalian mitochondrial ribosomes; molecular enzymology and protein structure/function; modulation of membrane function by complement; factors controlling nuclear gene regulation; regulation of mammalian and plant mitochondria transcription and replication; genetic analysis of mammalian mitochondrial inheritance; replication of RNA viruses; molecular biology of higher plant mitochondria; and cell culture, somatic cell genetics and transformation of grasses. The investigators are doing good research in both plant and mammalian molecular biology of mitochondria, are productive, and well funded. //
