This award will provide funds to a group of scientists who direct microchemical facilities that serve large numbers of investigators at their own and other institutions. The funds will be used to obtain and distribute synthetic peptides useful for measuring the sensitivity and accuracy of protein sequencing procedures at these and many similar facilities, and to increase cooperation and contact between such facilities. The overall aim of the project is to increase the quality of service provided by the facilities. The use of microchemical techniques for the sequencing and synthesis of protein and DNA now occupies an important role in modern biology. Because of the substantial investment in equipment and personnel required, such work is most often performed in central facilities that serve a large group of investigators. There are now over a hundred such facilities in the U.S. This award will help insure that the service provided by each is of a uniform high quality and is consistent with the state of the art in protein sequencing.

该奖项将为一组科学家提供资金，他们指导为自己和其他机构的大量研究人员服务的微量化学设施。这笔资金将用于获得和分发用于测量这些设施和许多类似设施的蛋白质测序程序的灵敏度和准确性的合成肽，并加强这些设施之间的合作和联系。该项目的总体目标是提高设施提供的服务质量。微量化学技术在蛋白质和DNA的测序和合成中的应用在现代生物学中占有重要地位。由于需要在设备和人员方面进行大量投资，这类工作往往在为大批调查人员服务的中央设施中进行。目前美国有100多个这样的设施，该奖项将有助于确保每个设施提供的服务具有统一的高质量，并与蛋白质测序的最新技术保持一致。
