This award provides funds to aid in the purchase of a variety of equipment items to be used for biotechnology research by members of the zoology and biochemistry departments at Iowa State University. Equipment includes a state of the art imaging device for detection and analysis of radioactively-labelled nucleic acids and proteins, a device for densitometry of stained-gels and autoradiograms, equipment for synthesis and separation of DNA oligomers, a computer workstation for data analysis and several other items. The equipment will be housed in the nucleic acid facility of the new Biotechnology Center. Advances in basic research in Biotechnology, including studies in molecular biology and cell biology, have depended heavily on the development of instrumentation such as DNA synthesizers and sequencers that permit what had been time-consuming and difficult experimentation to be accomplished rapidly and with little effort. New devices have now increased the speed and sensitivity of detection and analysis of proteins and nucleic acids by orders of magnitude. Typically such equipment is placed in a central location where it is available to a large number of investigators who can benefit from its use. Precisely such an arrangement is proposed for the equipment to be purchased through this award.

该奖项提供资金帮助爱荷华州立大学动物学和生物化学系的成员购买各种设备用于生物技术研究。 设备包括用于检测和分析放射性标记的核酸和蛋白质的最先进的成像设备、用于染色凝胶和放射自显影图的光密度测定的设备、用于合成和分离DNA低聚物的设备、用于数据分析的计算机工作站和其他一些物品。 该设备将安置在新生物技术中心的核酸设施中。 生物技术基础研究的进步，包括分子生物学和细胞生物学的研究，在很大程度上依赖于 DNA 合成器和测序仪等仪器的发展，这些仪器使得原本耗时且困难的实验能够快速、轻松地完成。 新设备现已将蛋白质和核酸的检测和分析的速度和灵敏度提高了几个数量级。 通常，此类设备放置在中心位置，可供大量调查人员使用，并从中受益。 正是针对通过该奖项购买的设备提出了这样的安排。
