Acquisition of a Multimode Spectrophotometer by Elon University to Enhance Undergraduate Research and Teaching in Chemistry and Biochemistry.

埃隆大学的Victoria Moore教授和他的同事Karl Sienerth和Kathryn Mata获得了主要研究仪器(MRI)项目的这一奖项，他们将获得一台多模四色平板阅读器分光光度计。该建议旨在加强研究、培训和教育，特别是在以下领域：(A)多肽聚集体；(B)蛋白质-蛋白质结合；(C)细胞凋亡过程中线粒体的生化变化；以及(D)环境和爆炸性化合物的定量测量。该奖项将提供一种多模分光光度计，用于对各种样品进行吸光度、荧光和发光测量。这些是标准的光谱技术，用于分析化学和生物化学中的少量溶液。可以跟踪反应并确定材料的数量。这项收购将为教职员工和本科生目前的生物化学和化学研究提供基本工具。学生将接受培训，使用他们毕业后将遇到的最新的分析和技术。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program, Professor Victoria Moore from Elon University and colleagues Karl Sienerth and Kathryn Matera will acquire a multimode quad-monochromator plate reader spectrophotometer. The proposal is aimed at enhancing research training and education, especially in areas such as (a) peptide aggregates; (b) protein-protein binding; (c) biochemical changes to mitochondria during apoptosis; and (d) quantitative measurements of environmental and explosive compounds.This award will provide a multimode spectrophotometer to make absorbance, fluorescence and luminescence measurements on various samples. These are standard spectroscopy techniques used to assay small volumes of solutions in chemistry and biochemistry. Reactions can be followed and quantities of materials determined. This acquisition will provide a basic instrument for current biochemistry and chemistry research by faculty and undergraduate students. Students will be trained to use the most up-to-date assays and technologies which they will encounter after graduation.
