This proposal is to request funding for the purchase of a fluorescence spectrophotometer equipped with a multicell Peltier and a microplate reader. This instrument will be used for a variety of research projects that require routine access to a sensitive fluorescence spectrophotometer. These include studies on the interaction of bovine lactoferricin, the development of novel cytolytic antimicrobial peptides and the development of unique detection systems for identifying relevant biological analytes of interest. There is currently only one research-grade fluorescent spectrophotometer in the Department of Chemistry at Université Laval, an instrument acquired in 2001 with CFI funds from M. Leclerc's Canada Research Chair. The needs for that instrument in M. Leclerc's group require a full time use of that instrument. Other users at Laval, from the groups of the applicants, are occasionally (2-3% of the time) graciously granted access to the instrument by the Leclerc group. However, the increased demand for fluorescence spectrophotometry by the new research activities in several projects by the applicant groups warrant the acquisition of a sensitive fluorescent spectrophotometer. The progress of several projects described in the application is severely impeded by the lack of regular access to such an instrument.

该提案要求提供资金，用于购买配备多池Peltier和酶标仪的荧光分光光度计。该仪器将用于需要常规访问灵敏的荧光分光光度计的各种研究项目。这些研究包括牛乳铁蛋白相互作用的研究、新型溶细胞抗菌肽的开发以及用于鉴定相关生物分析物的独特检测系统的开发。拉瓦尔大学化学系目前只有一台研究级荧光分光光度计，这台仪器是2001年用CFI基金从M。Leclerc的加拿大研究主席。在M. Leclerc的小组需要全职使用该仪器。Leclerc集团偶尔（2-3%的时间）会慷慨地授予来自申请人群体的其他拉瓦尔用户使用仪器的权限。然而，申请人团体在几个项目中的新研究活动对荧光分光光度法的需求增加，因此需要购买灵敏的荧光分光光度计。申请书中所述的几个项目的进展因无法定期查阅这一文书而受到严重阻碍。
