NOVEL FLUORESCENCE METHODS FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这个项目对人类的健康和营养很重要。铁和锌是两种重要的矿物质，这两种矿物质的缺乏会导致贫血、侏儒症和性成熟延迟。数以百计的酶需要锌来发挥催化作用，或许锌与免疫有关。在植物中，坚果、豆类和谷类是锌和铁的主要来源。提高ND豆中铁和锌的含量，将有助于改善该地区乃至世界人民的质量营养状况。该项目也对我们的学生为分子生物学领域以及人类健康和营养研究做好准备起到了非常关键的作用。

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 important for human health and nutrition. Iron and zinc are two important minerals and deficiencies of these minerals are responsible for anemia, dwarfism, delay in sexual maturity. Hundreds of enzymes need zinc for catalytic action, perhaps zinc is related to immunity. Among plants nuts, legumes (Common bean), and grain cereals are chief sources of zinc and iron. Enhancement of contents of Iron and Zinc in ND beans will help improving the quality nutrient status in people in this area, and in the world. This project also plays a very crucial role for preparing our students for the field of molecular biology and for study in human health and nutrition.
