THE MOLECULAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE (MMR) CORE FACILITY

分子磁共振核因子 分子磁共振（MMR）核心设施拥有两台核磁共振仪器-一台300 MHz和一台250 MHz光谱仪。这两种设备都被杰克逊州立大学（JSU）的生物医学研究人员广泛使用。光谱仪定期进行维护，最近升级了300兆赫光谱仪的新探头。250 MHz NMR用于研究和培训新用户。300 MHz NMR的使用量急剧增加 因为它最近装备了新的探测器在本赠款期内，用户总数已达到100人。MMR核心设施配备了一名教师经理和一名技术人员，他们具有有机化学背景和NMR光谱学专业知识。MMR核心设施通过提供设备使用和光谱解释的实践经验培训了许多研究人员和调查人员。仅去年一年，就有包括四名教职员工在内的五十七人参加了MMR相关的研讨会和课程。培训 我们提供的会议一直是扩大产妇死亡率核心设施用户群体的主要工具。MMR核心设施的用户社区已在同行评审期刊上发表了16篇以上的论文，并在该计划的最后五年中为使用MMR核心设施的项目资助了13项研究提案。MMR核心实验室作为JSU RCMI的重要实验室，计划在未来五年内做以下工作：（1）为所有需要复杂结构测定的研究人员提供高场FT-NMR和EPR仪器;（2）为需要使用NMR和EPR但不擅长操作仪器的用户提供熟练的技术支持;（3）维持所有光谱仪的最佳技术规格，并保证其可用于研究需要;（4）通过提供额外的附件，如新探头和可变温度装置，扩大设施的现有能力;及（5）提供工作坊及培训课程，以扩大用户群，包括化学、生物、工程及环境科学范畴的学生及教职员。

MOLECULAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE CORE FACILITY The Molecular Magnetic Resonance (MMR) Core Facility houses two NMR instruments-one 300 MHz and one 250 MHz spectrometer. Both equipments have been used intensively by biomedical researchers at Jackson State University (JSU). The spectrometers are periodically maintained and have been recently upgraded with a new probe for the 300 MHz spectrometer. The 250 MHz NMR is used for research and training new users. The usage of the 300 MHz NMR has increased dramatically after it was recently outfitted with a new probe. The total number of users has reached 100 during the current grant period. The MMR Core Facility is staffed with one faculty manager and one technician who have a background in organic chemistry and expertise in NMR Spectroscopy. The MMR Core Facility has trained many researchers and investigators by providing hands-on experience on equipment usage and interpretation of the spectra. Last year alone, there were fifty-seven people including four faculty members who participated in MMR-related workshops and classes. The training sessions that we provided have been a major vehicle in enlarging the user community of the MMR Core Facility. The user community of the MMR Core Facility has published more than sixteen papers in peer reviewed journals, and thirteen research proposals were funded for projects using the MMR Core Facility during the last five years of the program. As an important RCMI laboratory at JSU, the MMR Core Facility plans to do the following in the next five years: (1) provide high field FT-NMR and EPR instruments for all researchers who need sophisticated structural determinations in their research; (2) offer proficient technical support for users who need to use NMR and EPR but are not experts in operating the instruments; (3) maintain all spectrometers in their optimal technical specifications and guarantee their availability for research needs; (4) expand the facility's current capability by providing additional accessories, such as new probes and variable temperature units; and (5) provide workshops and training sessions to enlarge the user groups to include students and faculty in chemistry, biology, engineering and environmental science areas.
