Acquisition of Equipment for Bioorganic Research and Training

这项奖励提供的资金将帮助布兰迪斯大学一群杰出的生物化学家和有机化学家购买计算机设备和软件。该仪器将用于帮助在新兴的生物有机化学领域工作的研究生的研究培训。越来越多的有机化学家和生物化学家开始意识到，他们的学科有很多值得相互学习和借鉴的地方。在Brandeis，这种交叉受精发生在各种领域的研究计划的背景下，包括酶机制的研究、天然产物和药物的合成、分子识别以及溶剂分子在化学反应中的作用。这些领域的工作在很大程度上取决于使用计算机分析和解释实验数据，以及制定新的调查路线。通过这项奖励获得的设备将确保新一代调查人员的培训将在拥有充分最先进的计算设施的环境中进行。

This award provides funds that will aid in the acquisition of computer equipment and software by an outstanding group of biochemists and organic chemists at Brandeis University. The instrumentation will be used to aid in the research training of graduate students working in the emerging area of bioorganic chemistry. Increasingly, organic chemists and biochemists have come to realize that their disciplines have much to learn from and offer to each other. At Brandeis, such cross fertilization occurs in the context of research programs in areas as diverse as the study of enzyme mechanisms, synthesis of natural products and pharmaceuticals, molecular recognition, and the role of solvent molecules in chemical reactions. Work in these areas depends heavily of the use of computers for analysis and interpretation of experimental data, and, as well, the formulation of new lines of inquiry. The equipment acquired through this award will insure that the training of a new generation of investigators will proceed in an environment with adequate state of the art computational facilities.
