Development of a High Fields Solid State NMR Console for Biomaterials Research and Student Training

该奖项授予华盛顿大学是为了开发用于生物材料研究和学生培训的高场固态核磁共振（SSNMR）控制台。分子生物工程领域的一个共同挑战是表征材料表面的生物分子。通过定义吸附在材料表面的蛋白质的二级结构，确定表面的蛋白质动力学，以及提供蛋白质表面相互作用的高分辨率结构图，SSNMR有可能填补我们知识中的一个特别重要的空白。该合同将允许华盛顿大学升级一个500兆赫，15年历史的固态核磁共振控制台。新的控制台将极大地扩展该大学的生物材料项目，使科学家能够在高磁场和低温下对生物材料进行核磁共振研究。核磁共振控制台还将配备制冷系统，用于将样品冷却到低至200K的温度。控制台还将能够在高达1,000 MHz的Larmor频率上进行ssnm实验。该奖项授予华盛顿大学是为了开发用于生物材料研究和学生培训的高场固态核磁共振（SSNMR）控制台。分子生物工程领域的一个共同挑战是表征材料表面的生物分子。该合同将允许华盛顿大学升级一个500兆赫，15年历史的固态核磁共振控制台。新的控制台将极大地扩展该大学的生物材料项目，使科学家能够在高磁场和低温下对生物材料进行核磁共振研究。核磁共振控制台还将配备制冷系统，用于将样品冷却到绝对温标低至200K的温度。该仪器将用于学生培训。

0076276DrobnyThis award to the University of Washington is for the development of high fields solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) console for biomaterials research and student training. A common challenge in the molecular bioengineering field is the characterization of biomolecules at material surfaces. SSNMR has the potential to fill a particularly crucial gap in our knowledge by defining the secondary structure of proteins adsorbed onto material surfaces, determining protein dynamics at surfaces, and by providing high-resolution structural maps of protein-surface interactions. This award will allow the University of Washington to upgrade a 500 megahertz, 15 years old solid state NMR console. The new console will dramatically expand the biomaterials program at the university by enabling scientsists to perform NMR studies of biomaterials at high magnetic fields and at reduced temperatures. The NMR console will also be equipped with a refrigeration system for cooling samples to temperatures as low as 200K. The console will also be capable of performing SSNNM experiments at Larmor frequencies as high as 1,000 MHz.
