Acquisition of a Transmission Electron Microscope

将获得一台菲利普斯CM-12透射电子显微镜，并将其用于研究动物、植物和细菌系统的各种主题。这些研究包括与理解相关的活动：1)肽聚糖在细胞膜上的运动，2)细菌对营养剥夺的适应，3)哺乳动物肌肉和晶状体蛋白的结构-功能关系，4)真核植物与细菌的共生关系，5)膜蛋白在信号接收和离子运输中的作用和功能。

A Phillips CM-12 transmission electron microscope will be acquired and utilized in the study of a variety of topics spanning animal, plant, and bacterial systems. Included among the studies are activities related to understanding: 1) the movement of peptidoglycans across the cell membrane, 2) bacterial adaptation to nutrient deprivation, 3) structure-function relationship in mammalian muscles and lens proteins, 4) symbiotic relationship between eukaryotic plants and bacteria, and 5) the role and function of membrane proteins involved in signal reception and ion transport.
