The Chemistry Department at the University of Memphis will acquire a spectropolarimeter with a stopped flow module with this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program. The requested instrument will facilitate ongoing research projects including the detection and quantitation of water disinfection by-products; the structure and function of phospholipid receptors; development of nanobioreactors for hydrogen production and biosensor application; characterization of a novel mitochondrial protein, NIPSNAP1. The spectropolarimeter will produce circular dichroism spectral data which provide information on molecular structure, especially for proteins. The stopped flow capability will provide reaction kinetics data which give information on the speed of chemical and biological reactions. These are important tools in the training of young scientists. The instrument will be used in research by graduate and undergraduate students and in laboratory classes.

孟菲斯大学化学系将获得主要研究仪器 (MRI) 项目颁发的带有停流模块的分光旋光仪。 所要求的仪器将促进正在进行的研究项目，包括水消毒副产物的检测和定量；磷脂受体的结构和功能；开发用于制氢和生物传感器应用的纳米生物反应器；一种新型线粒体蛋白 NIPSNAP1 的表征。 分光旋光计将产生圆二色性光谱数据，提供分子结构信息，特别是蛋白质结构信息。停流功能将提供反应动力学数据，从而提供有关化学和生物反应速度的信息。 这些是培训年轻科学家的重要工具。 该仪器将用于研究生和本科生的研究以及实验室课程。
