项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested to purchase an atomic force microscope (AFM) in order to establish the Core Laboratory for Biomedical Applications of Atomic Force Microscopy at the University of Virginia. The instrument purchased will be the Multimode V Scanning Probe Microscope with Nanoscope V SPM Control Station from Veeco Metrology, Inc., in Santa Barbara, CA. Accessories will be purchased to allow imaging of biological samples under physiological buffer and temperature conditions. The Core Laboratory will be centrally located in the School of Medicine and will be used by researchers from the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, Pharmacology, Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics, Microbiology, and Medicine in the School of Medicine, and from the Departments of Chemistry and Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences. The major common research themes will involve signaling processes in or on model membrane systems and the dynamics and structure of macromolecular complexes. The processes that will be studied with this instrument are fundamental to the molecular basis of cancer, endocrine disorders, neuropathology, bacterial infection, and growth and development. The Core Laboratory will be directed by an experienced AFM researcher and an interdepartmental advisory committee, and will provide training and outreach activities to enhance the utilization of the AFM in NIH-funded biomedical research programs at the University.

描述（由申请人提供）：请求资金购买原子力显微镜（AFM），以便在弗吉尼亚大学建立原子力显微镜生物医学应用核心实验室。购买的仪器是来自加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉市 Veeco Metrology, Inc. 的带有 Nanoscope V SPM 控制站的多模式 V 扫描探针显微镜。将购买附件以允许在生理缓冲液和温度条件下对生物样品进行成像。核心实验室将位于医学院中心，供医学院生物化学和分子遗传学、药理学、分子生理学和生物物理、微生物学和医学系以及文理学院化学和生物学系的研究人员使用。主要的共同研究主题将涉及模型膜系统内或之上的信号传导过程以及大分子复合物的动力学和结构。使用该仪器研究的过程是癌症、内分泌失调、神经病理学、细菌感染以及生长和发育的分子基础的基础。核心实验室将由经验丰富的 AFM 研究人员和跨部门咨询委员会领导，并将提供培训和外展活动，以提高 AFM 在 NIH 资助的大学生物医学研究项目中的利用率。
