This award is supported by the Major Research Instrumentation, Chemistry Research Instrumentation, Chemistry of Life Processes and Chemical Structure, Dynamics and Mechanisms B programs. California State University at Monterey Bay is acquiring a 43 MHz benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer that has the capabilities to perform both routine analysis and more complex experiments and helps elucidate molecular structures of chemical compounds. The instrument supports the research of Professor John Goeltz and colleagues Corin Slown and Amy Danowitz at California State University at Monterey Bay. This spectrometer allows research in a variety of fields such as development of battery materials, exploring quorum sensing pathways in interactions with small molecules, and carrying out research training in protein-ligand binding events. In general, NMR spectroscopy is one of the most powerful tools available to chemists for the elucidation of the structures of molecules. It is used to identify unknown substances, to characterize specific arrangements of atoms within molecules, and to study the dynamics of interactions between molecules in solution or in the solid state. Access to state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers is essential to chemists who are carrying out frontier research. This instrument is an integral part of teaching as well as research and research training of undergraduate students in the sciences.The award of the NMR spectrometer is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels. It will be especially impactful in providing critical hands-on research experience to students from underrepresented groups, first generation college students and female students at this Hispanic Serving Institution.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项由主要研究仪器，化学研究仪器，生命过程化学和化学结构，动力学和机制B计划支持。 位于蒙特雷湾的加州州立大学正在购买一台43 MHz台式核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪，该光谱仪能够进行常规分析和更复杂的实验，并有助于阐明化合物的分子结构。 该仪器支持蒙特利湾加州州立大学的John Goeltz教授及其同事Corin Slown和Amy Danowitz的研究。 该光谱仪允许在各种领域进行研究，例如电池材料的开发，探索与小分子相互作用的群体感应途径，以及在蛋白质-配体结合事件中进行研究培训。 一般来说，NMR光谱是化学家用来阐明分子结构的最有力的工具之一。它用于识别未知物质，表征分子内原子的特定排列，并研究溶液或固态分子之间相互作用的动力学。 对于从事前沿研究的化学家来说，使用最先进的NMR光谱仪是必不可少的。 该仪器是理科本科生教学、研究和研究培训的一个组成部分。授予NMR光谱仪的目的是加强各级的研究和教育。 这将是特别有影响力的提供关键动手研究经验的学生从代表性不足的群体，第一代大学生和女学生在这个西班牙裔Serving Institution.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
