JSU SCORE Equipment Supplemental

描述（由申请人提供）：在这个设备补充提案中，我们需要一台氩/氪离子激光器，以支持杰克逊州立大学（JSU） SCORE计划的Hiroyasu Tachikawa博士的子项目。该激光器将作为激发源用于基于血红蛋白和藜蛋白酶的生物电极的拉曼光谱研究。所要求的激光器需要取代我们目前的氪离子激光器和氩离子激光器（这些激光器的等离子管的生产将很快停止），并提高拉曼光谱数据的质量，所要求的激光器在近紫外到紫外区域具有更好的稳定性和更高的激光功率。该激光器将被用作科学技术学院分析核心设施的一部分，并将帮助获得与Tachikawa博士的项目以及JSU-SCORE项目和其他项目（如JSU-RCMI项目）的其他研究人员相关的生物分子结构信息。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this equipment supplemental proposal, we are requesting an Argon/Krypton Ion Laser for support of the subproject of Dr. Hiroyasu Tachikawa in Jackson State University's (JSU) SCORE Program. The requested laser will be used as an excitation source for Raman spectroscopic investigations of bioelectrodes which are based on hemoprotein and quinoprotein enzymes. The requested laser is needed to replace our current krypton ion laser and argon ion laser (the production of plasma tubes for these lasers will be discontinued shortly) and also improve the quality of Raman spectroscopic data with the requested laser having a better stability and a higher laser power in near-UV to UV regions. The laser will be used as part of the Analytical Core Facilities in the School of Science and Technology and will help to obtain structural information on biomolecules relevant to Dr. Tachikawa's project as well as other investigators on the JSU-SCORE Program and other programs such as the JSU-RCMI Program.
