The technique of X-ray crystallography is a powerful tool for the determination of the molecular structure of compounds as diverse as small polypeptides and complex metal clusters. When combined with the latest computer software, the technique is becoming remarkably easy to put into practice. Access to X-ray crystallographic instrumentation markedly improves the ability of chemists to carry out frontier research. The Department of Chemistry at the University of California, San Diego, will use this award from the Chemical Instrumentation Program to help acquire an X-ray diffractometer. The areas of chemical research that will be enhanced by the acquisition include the following: 1) Structural elucidation of marine natural products 2) X-ray diffraction of peptides 3) Structural aspects of electron transfer processes 4) Metallo-organic molecules as mediators and models 5) Transmission of stereochemical information 6) Structure of metallo-enzyme mimics.

X 射线晶体学技术是确定小多肽和复杂金属簇等多种化合物分子结构的有力工具。 当与最新的计算机软件相结合时，该技术变得非常容易付诸实践。 使用 X 射线晶体学仪器显着提高了化学家开展前沿研究的能力。 加州大学圣地亚哥分校化学系将利用化学仪器项目的​​这一奖项来帮助购买 X 射线衍射仪。 此次收购将增强的化学研究领域包括：1）海洋天然产物的结构阐明2）肽的X射线衍射3）电子转移过程的结构方面4）作为介质和模型的金属有机分子5）立体化学信息的传递6）金属酶模拟物的结构。
