This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program will aid the Chemistry Department at the University of California--Riverside (UCR) purchase a high resolution mass spectrometer dedicated to high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry-mass- spectrometry (HPLC-MS) and electrospray mass spectrometry analyses using atmospheric pressure, chemical ionization/electrospray (APCI/ESI) interfaces. The research studies to be performed include the following: (a) Spectroscopy of Linear Polyenes; (b) Establishing Structure/Functional Relationships in a Cytostatic Protein Kinase; (c) Analogies Between Enzyme Active Sites and Receptor Sites; (d) Development of New Membrane-Based Analytical Methods; (e) Synthetic and Mechanistic Organic Chemistry; (f) Thiol/Disulfide Chemistry of the Neurohypophyseal Peptide Hormone and Related Peptides. Mass Spectrometry (MS) is a technique used to probe intimate structural details and to obtain the molecular compositions of a vast array of organic, bioorganic and organometallic molecules. The addition of the technique of electrospray extends the range of MS to protein and nucleic acid molecular weights far beyond any other technique. The use of electrospray ionization in combination with high resolution provides the latest techniques available in mass spectrometry. It affords the chemist one of the most powerful tools available for the characterization of compounds. The acquisition of this capability in mass spectrometry is essential for the prosecution of frontier research in many fields of chemistry.

化学研究仪器计划的这一奖项将帮助加州大学滨江分校（UCR）的化学系购买一台高分辨率质谱仪，该质谱仪专用于使用大气压、化学电离/电喷雾（APCI/ESI）接口进行高效液相色谱-质谱-质谱（HPLC-MS）和电喷雾质谱分析。 将进行的研究包括：（a）线性多烯的光谱学;（B）建立细胞抑制蛋白激酶的结构/功能关系;（c）酶活性位点和受体位点之间的类比;（d）开发新的基于膜的分析方法;（e）合成和机械有机化学;（f）神经垂体肽激素和相关肽的硫醇/二硫化物化学。 质谱（MS）是一种用于探测紧密结构细节并获得大量有机、生物有机和有机金属分子的分子组成的技术。 电喷雾技术的加入将质谱的范围扩展到蛋白质和核酸分子量，远远超过任何其他技术。 电喷雾电离与高分辨率结合使用提供了质谱分析中可用的最新技术。 它为化学家提供了表征化合物的最强大的工具之一。 在质谱分析中获得这种能力对于许多化学领域的前沿研究至关重要。
