DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Continuation of support is requested for three (3) graduate trainee fellowships in the Molecular Biophysics Program at Wesleyan University. Molecular Biophysics at Wesleyan is an interdisciplinary, interdepartmental program in the Graduate Division of the University in which students pursue doctoral studies via graduate courses, a weekly journal club, an annual retreat, workshops, group meetings, seminars, dissertation research and teaching apprenticeships. The emphasizes collaborative projects among faculty research groups where feasible and interactions between experimentalists and theoreticians. Scientific ethics and the historical and intellectual foundations science figure significantly in the curriculum. The current and proposed program involves faculty of the Departments of Chemistry, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (MBB), and Physics, with consultation and potential future participation of the Biology department. The participating faculty from Chemistry are Anne M. Baranger (Biological and BiD-organic Chemistry; RNA Folding and RNA-Protein Complex Formation), David L. Beveridge (Theoretical and Computational Bio-physics), Philip H. Bolton (NMR Spectroscopy; Proteins and Nucleic Acids), Rex F. Pratt (Chemistry of Enzymes; Enzymes in Synthesis), and [rina Russu (NMR Spectroscopy, DNA dynamics and Protein-DNA Interactions). The participating faculty from MBB are Ishita Mukerji (UV Resonance Raman Spectroscopy; Protein-DNA Interactions; Protein-Protein Interactions) and Manju Hingorani (Rate Processes and Enzymology of DNA Enzymes). The participating faculty member from the Physics Department is Roderick V. Jensen (Non-linear Dynamics, Computational Neuroscience, Bio-informatics). Participating faculty all have significant independent support for their research programs from extramural funding sources or proposals pending. Wesleyan University is a small, highly selective university emphasizing the liberal arts and sciences at the undergraduate level with Ph.D. programs in the sciences. An undergraduate concentration in Molecular Biophysics has been developed as a complement to our graduate program. Curricular and pedagogical initiatives in this third renewal period will produce a new version of a core course, Introduction to Molecular Biophysics and new courses in Chemical Biology, Advanced Biochemistry, and Kinetic mechanisms and Structural Biology of DNA metabolic enzymes.

描述（由申请人提供）：卫斯理大学分子生物物理学项目申请三(3)名研究生实习奖学金。卫斯理大学的分子生物物理学是卫斯理大学研究生部的一个跨学科、跨部门的项目，学生可以通过研究生课程、每周期刊俱乐部、年度静修、讲习班、小组会议、研讨会、论文研究和教学学徒制来攻读博士学位。在可行的情况下，强调教师研究小组之间的合作项目以及实验家和理论家之间的互动。科学伦理、科学的历史基础和知识基础在课程中占有重要地位。目前和拟议的计划涉及化学系，分子生物学和生物化学系（MBB）和物理系的教师，生物系的咨询和潜在的未来参与。化学系的参与教师有Anne M. Baranger（生物和有机化学、RNA折叠和RNA-蛋白质复合物形成）、David L. Beveridge（理论和计算生物物理学）、Philip H. Bolton（核磁共振光谱学、蛋白质和核酸）、Rex F. Pratt（酶化学、合成酶）和rina Russu（核磁共振光谱学、DNA动力学和蛋白质-DNA相互作用）。MBB的参与教师是Ishita Mukerji（紫外共振拉曼光谱；蛋白质-DNA相互作用；蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用）和Manju Hingorani （DNA酶的速率过程和酶学）。物理系的参与教师是Roderick V. Jensen（非线性动力学，计算神经科学，生物信息学）。参与的教师都有来自校外资金来源或未决提案的重要独立支持他们的研究项目。卫斯理大学是一所规模较小，选拔性很强的大学，强调本科阶段的文科和理科博士课程。分子生物物理学的本科专业已经发展成为我们研究生课程的补充。第三个更新期的课程和教学计划将产生新版核心课程《分子生物物理学导论》和新课程《化学生物学》、《高级生物化学》、《DNA代谢酶的动力学机制和结构生物学》。
