With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will acquire a MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including a) polymer synthesis using novel polymerization processes; b) de novo design of synthetic water-soluble and membrane-soluble proteins; c) preparation of polymers using photo- and electron beam initiated polymerizations; d) studies on the origin of life and formation of RNA from prebiotic molecules; and e) protein surface studies. 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 results from these studies will have an impact in a number of areas including materials chemistry, polymer processing and biology.

凭借化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的这一奖项，伦斯勒理工学院化学系将获得MALDI-TOF质谱仪。这一设备将加强若干领域的研究，包括：（a）利用新的聚合过程进行聚合物合成;（B）重新设计合成的水溶性和膜溶性蛋白质;（c）利用光和电子束引发的聚合制备聚合物;（d）研究生命起源和由益生元分子形成RNA;（e）蛋白质表面研究。 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。这些研究的结果将在许多领域产生影响，包括材料化学，聚合物加工和生物学。
