Purchase of an Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometer

凭借化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的这一奖项，麦迪逊的威斯康星州大学化学系将获得电喷雾电离质谱仪。这些设备将加强若干领域的研究，包括机械有机金属化学研究;炔丙基金属络合物;蛋白质类蛋白质分子的折叠;酶抑制剂和肽模拟的设计;碳水化合物识别;以及复杂有机分子的合成。 质谱（MS）是一种用于探测紧密结构细节并获得大量有机、生物有机和有机金属分子的分子组成的技术。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin in Madison will acquire an Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including studies in mechanistic organometallic chemistry; propargyl metal complexes; folding of proteins & protein-like molecules; design of enzyme inhibitors and peptidomimetrics; carbohydrate recognition; and the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a technique used to probe intimate structural details and to obtain the molecular compositions of a vast array of organic, bioorganic, and organometallic molecules.
