Instrumentation Facility for the Center for Photochemistry and Photobiology

该提案要求为光化学和光生物学中心组装仪器，用于x射线晶体学，磁共振波谱学以及细菌，蓝藻，藻类和植物的光化学反应中心的动态研究。现代分子遗传学方法可用于突变蛋白的生产，探索中心的结构和功能之间的关系，以及研究叶绿体中心的组装。将为x射线衍射数据收集和磁共振光谱建立主要设施。

This proposal requests funds to assemble instrumentation for the Center for Photochemistry and Photobiology devoted to x-ray crystallography, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and dynamic studies of photochemical reaction centers from bacteria, cyanobacteria, algae, and plants. Modern molecular genetic methods will be available for the production of mutant proteins to explore the relationship between structure and function in the centers as well as to study the assembly of the centers in chloroplasts. Major facilities will be created for x-ray diffraction data collection and for magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
