FIBER DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF NATURALLY OCCURING PROTEIN/POLYSACHARIDE COMPLEXES

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。这个项目是对各种形式的甲壳素的广角纤维衍射研究，甲壳素是许多无脊椎动物物种中自然存在的蛋白质/多糖复合体。目标是确定这些复合体的分子结构，以便确定支配蛋白质和碳水化合物之间相互作用的规则。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This project is a wide angle fiber diffraction study of various forms of chitin, which are naturally occurring protein/polysaccharide complexes found in many invertebrate species. The goal is to determine the molecular structure of these complexes so that the rules that govern the interaction between proteins and carbohydrates can be determined.
