ELECTRON PARAMAGNETIC SPIN RESONANCE FACILITY

这项新提案的目的是为南卡罗来纳医科大学(MUSC)获得电子顺磁共振设备。拟建设施的关键部件是Bruker ELEXSYSE-500-10/12X波段脉冲时间域电子自旋共振谱仪数据系统。该设施是由南加州大学两个学院和三个系的7个主要用户组成的小组请求的。1.在MUSC获得EPR光谱采集和分析能力。确保EPR能力与数据积累和处理能力很好地匹配。2.起诉该机构，以提高NIH资助的研究人员的生产力，并提高MUSC研究人员和受训人员的研究效率和竞争力。3.利用这一设施促进用户之间的跨学科工作。该设施满足了测量生物样品的PR光谱的广泛需求，以支持MUSC许多不同学科的研究。详细的组织计划、大量的机构支助承诺和长期维护计划确保了该设施的持续可变性。这一设施的可用将为我们机构发展强大的生物物理能力提供独特的机会。它将作为跨学科调查和培训的平台，并将显著提高MUSC调查人员的竞争力。

The purpose of this new proposal is to obtain an Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Facility for the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The key components of the proposed facility are a Bruker ELEXSYS E-500- 10/12 X-Band Pulsed Time Domain Electron Spin Resonance Spectrometer Data System. This facility is requested by a group of 7 major users from two Colleges and three Departments at MUSC. 1. To obtain a EPR spectral acquisition and analysis capability at MUSC. To ensure that the EPR capability is well-matched by data accumulation and processing capabilities. 2. To sue the facility to enhance the productivity of NIH-funded investigators and to improve the research efficiency and competitiveness of MUSC research faculty and trainees. 3. To use this facility to foster interdisciplinary work among the users. The facility addresses a broad need to measure the PR spectra of biological samples to support research in many different disciplines at MUSC. A detailed organizational plan, substantial institutional commitment of support, and a long term plan for maintenance ensures the sustained variability of the facility. The availability of this facility will provide unique opportunities for the development of powerful biophysical capabilities at our institution. It will serve as a platform for interdisciplinary investigation and training, and will significantly enhance the competitiveness of MUSC investigators.
