Purchase of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer Accessory

化学研究仪器和设施项目的这一奖项将帮助丹佛大学化学系购买其现有EPR的升级。这次设备升级将加强以下领域的研究：1.电子自旋-电子自旋相互作用2.阿尔茨海默病：自由基的作用3.心肌再灌注损伤的机制4.金属蛋白中金属的环境5.EPR成像6.配位与离子配对7.T7 RNA聚合酶的活性部位8.煤烟的性质和反应性9.用自旋标记探测视紫红质的棕榈酰化位置电子自旋共振(ESR)光谱仪是一种用于获得分子和电子结构信息的仪器。它还可以用来获得有关自由基寿命的信息，这些自由基通常是启动肿瘤生长和/或各种化学反应所必需的。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at the University of Denver in the purchase of an upgrade of its existing EPR. This equipment upgrade will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: 1. Electron Spin-Electron Spin Interactions 2. Alzheimer's: The Role of Radicals 3. Mechanisms of Myocardial Reperfusion Injury 4. The Environments of Metals in Metalloproteins 5. EPR Imaging 6. Coordination versus Ion Pairing 7. The Active Site of T7 RNA Polymerase 8. The Nature and Reactivity of Soot 9. Probing the Palmitoylation Site of Rhodopsin with Spin Labels An electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometer is an instrument used to obtain information about the molecular and electronic structure of molecules. It may also be used to obtain information about the lifetimes of free radicals which are often essential for the initiation of tumor growth and/or a variety of chemical reactions.
