Acquisition of a Biosensor

该提案的目的是获得最先进的仪器，这些仪器将为休斯顿大学的分子分析中心奠定基础。BIAcoreTM 2000将推进DNA复制、学习和记忆、昼夜节律、抗体/抗原识别、酶结构和机制、酶设计、RNA稳定性控制、神经髓磷脂的组装和维护、DNA结构和生物技术等方面的研究，通过促进这些过程中发生的各种生物分子相互作用的鉴定和/或量化。

The aim of this proposal is to acquire state-of-the-art instrumentation that will form the foundation for a Molecular Analysis Center at the University of Houston. The requested BIAcoreTM 2000 will advance studies addressing DNA replication, learning and memory, circadian rhythms, antibody/antigen recognition, enzyme structure and mechanism, enzyme design, control of RNA stability, assembly and maintenance of nerve myelin, DNA structure, and biotechnology, by facilitating the identification and/or quantification of the diverse biomolecular interactions occurring during these processes.
