With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, Professor Christopher Daley from University of San Diego and colleagues Mitchell Malachowski and Robert Dutnall will acquire an X-ray diffractometer. The award will enhance research training and education at all levels, especially in areas such as (a) studies of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) using molybdenum and copper compounds, (b) protein screening, (c) synthetic analogues of enzymes, and (d) chiral catalysts.An X-ray diffractometer allows accurate and precise measurements of the full three dimensional structure of a molecule, including bond distances and angles, and provides accurate information about the spatial arrangement of a molecule relative to neighboring molecules. The studies described here will impact a number of areas, including organic and inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry and biochemistry. This instrument will be an integral part of teaching and research at the University of San Diego as well as neighboring colleges such as Point Loma Nazarene University, California State San Marcos and Southwestern Community College.

圣地亚哥大学的Christopher Daley教授及其同事Mitchell Malachowski和Robert dunall将获得这一主要研究仪器(MRI)计划颁发的奖项，从而获得X射线衍射仪。该奖项将加强各级的研究、培训和教育，特别是在以下领域：(A)使用钼和铜化合物的金属有机骨架(MOF)的研究，(B)蛋白质筛选，(C)酶的合成类似物，以及(D)手性催化剂。X射线衍射仪可以准确和精确地测量分子的全部三维结构，包括键距离和角度，并提供关于分子相对于邻近分子的空间排列的准确信息。这里描述的研究将影响许多领域，包括有机化学和无机化学、材料化学和生物化学。该仪器将是圣地亚哥大学以及邻近大学如波特洛马拿撒勒大学、加州州立圣马科斯大学和西南社区学院教学和研究的组成部分。
