The requested Biochrom Ultrospec 4300 pro UV/Visible Spectrophotometer will be used for measurement of enzyme activities, estimation of metabolite concentrations in subcellular compartments of plant cells, determination of kinetic parameters of enzymes and calculation of metabolic fluxes in the cell. The instrument will be placed in the Laboratory of Plant Metabolism at Department of Biology, Memorial University of Newfoundland. Ultrospec 4300 pro satisfies high specifications for resolution, noise, stability, wavelength accuracy and reproducibility essential for fine research of plant metabolism and bioenergetics. It is a powerful tool for investigation of enzyme kinetics and calculation of metabolic fluxes based on the metabolic control theory. It will allow evaluating intensities of metabolic pathways in stress-induced processes in different settings. This piece of equipment is an integral component of most physiological and biochemical work aimed at understanding operation of bioenergetic organelles, such as mitochondria and peroxisomes. The availability of Biochrom Ultrospec 4300 will promote research on adaptation of trees and cereal crops to environmental stresses, including the hypoxic stress, drought, and pathogens. It will be also used for research of photosynthetic bacteria and plant-insect interactions.

所要求的Biochrom Ultrospec 4300 pro紫外/可见分光光度计将用于测量酶活性、估计植物细胞亚细胞区室中的代谢物浓度、测定酶的动力学参数和计算细胞中的代谢通量。该仪器将被放置在纽芬兰纪念大学生物系植物代谢实验室。Ultrospec 4300 pro在分辨率、噪声、稳定性、波长准确性和再现性方面满足了植物代谢和生物能量学精细研究的高要求。它是研究酶动力学和基于代谢控制理论计算代谢通量的有力工具。它将允许评估强度的代谢途径在压力诱导的过程中，在不同的设置。这件设备是大多数生理和生化工作的组成部分，旨在了解生物能细胞器（如线粒体和过氧化物酶体）的运作。Biochrom Ultrospec 4300的可用性将促进树木和谷类作物适应环境胁迫的研究，包括低氧胁迫，干旱和病原体。它还将用于光合细菌和植物-昆虫相互作用的研究。
