NSF-MRI Acquisition of a 600 MHz NMR with a Cryoprobe

该主要研究仪器奖资助采购一台带有冷冻探针的600 MHz 4通道核磁共振仪器。新的光谱仪将被安置在石溪大学核磁共振中心，并将作为用户运行的仪器在收费服务的基础上运行。新仪器支持的项目涵盖从化学生物学到蛋白质折叠、蛋白质动力学、DNA结构研究、新型富碳分子的表征和新型聚合物的设计。因此，新的核磁共振是大学范围内化学生物学、结构生物学和材料科学的重要资源。研究生和博士后研究员在他们的研究过程中使用核磁共振。因此，光谱仪还支持下一代研究人员在现代最先进的核磁共振方法的培训。此外，石溪大学在招收本科生参与研究方面格外积极。WISE项目是一项大学范围内的倡议，旨在支持和指导科学领域的本科女性利用核磁共振，以及其他一系列外展项目。这些研究和教学工作的成果将通过摘要和同行评议的出版物以及学生和教员积极参加专业会议而广泛传播。

This Major Research Instrumentation award funds the acquisition of a 600 MHz 4-channel NMR instrument with a cryoprobe. The new spectrometer will be housed in the Stony Brook University NMR center and will be operated as a user run instrument on a fee for service basis. Projects supported by the new instrument span the range from chemical biology to protein folding, protein dynamics, studies of DNA structure, the characterization of novel carbon rich molecules and the design of novel polymers. The new NMR is thus an essential resource for university-wide efforts in Chemical Biology, Structural Biology, and Materials Science. Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows use the NMR during the course of their research. Thus, the spectrometer also supports the training of the next generation of researchers in modern state-of-the-art NMR methods. Furthermore, Stony Brook is exceptionally aggressive about including undergraduates in research. Participants in Project WISE, a university wide initiative designed to support and mentor undergraduate women in science utilize the NMR, amongst a range of other outreach programs. The results of these research and teaching efforts will be broadly disseminated through abstracts and peer reviewed publications, as well as by active participation of students and faculty at professional meetings.
