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）：请求继续为卫斯理大学分子生物物理学项目的三 (3) 个研究生实习生奖学金提供支持。卫斯理安大学的分子生物物理学是大学研究生部的一个跨学科、跨部门的项目，学生通过研究生课程、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来攻读博士学位。它强调教师研究小组之间可行的合作项目以及实验学家和理论家之间的互动。科学伦理以及科学的历史和知识基础在课程中占有重要地位。当前和拟议的计划涉及化学系、分子生物学和生物化学系（MBB）以及物理系的教师，并由生物系提供咨询和未来可能参与。化学系的参与教师包括 Anne M. Baranger（生物和 BiD 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（核磁共振波谱学；蛋白质和核酸）、Rex F. Pratt（酶化学；合成中的酶）和 [rina Russu（核磁共振波谱学、DNA 动力学和蛋白质-DNA 相互作用）。 MBB 的参与教师包括 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）。参与的教师都从校外资金来源或待决提案中获得了对其研究项目的重要独立支持。卫斯理大学是一所小型的、选择性很强的大学，强调本科阶段的文科和理科课程，并设有博士学位。科学项目。分子生物物理学本科专业是我们研究生课程的补充。第三个更新期的课程和教学举措将产生新版本的核心课程“分子生物物理学概论”以及化学生物学、高级生物化学以及DNA代谢酶的动力学机制和结构生物学等新课程。
