This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The goal of this project is to renovate laboratory space in Wynn Hall at Colgate University. Wynn Hall has previously been used for teaching and research. The proposed renovation will create two private biochemical research laboratories and a shared biochemistry/molecular biology facility to be used for research and research training. In addition, a shared computer modeling and simulation facility and a new laser laboratory are being proposed. Five faculty members, one postdoc, and numerous undergraduate students will conduct research in the proposed facility on a variety of biochemical topics, including structural and functional studies of catalysis and allostery in carbonic anhydrase; chemical modification of photosynthetic proteins; C-linked glycopeptide synthesis and conformer evaluation; gas phase conformation of six-membered rings; and spectroscopy, structure, and dynamics of model tropospheric aerosol particle surfaces. The PIs have a strong publication record including undergraduate students in the author lists.The project will enhance infrastructure for research and in particular collaborative projects between students and faculty. The newly revised curriculum led to an increased number of majors, and the remodeled facilities will serve as a motivator to attract students to chemistry.

该奖项由2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助。该项目的目标是翻新高露洁大学永利大厅的实验室空间。永利厅此前曾用于教学和研究。拟议的改造将创建两个私人生物化学研究实验室和一个共享生物化学/分子生物学设施，用于研究和研究培训。此外，正在提议建立一个共享的计算机建模和模拟设施以及一个新的激光实验室。五名教师，一名博士后和许多本科生将在拟议的设施进行各种生物化学主题的研究，包括碳酸酐酶催化和变构的结构和功能研究;光合蛋白的化学修饰; C-连接糖肽合成和构象评价;六元环的气相构象;对流层气溶胶粒子表面的光谱、结构和动力学。该项目将加强研究的基础设施，特别是学生和教师之间的合作项目。新修订的课程导致专业数量增加，改造后的设施将成为吸引学生学习化学的动力。
