MRI: Acquisition of Instrumentation for Upgrading NMR Facilities at California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA)

在主要研究仪器（MRI）采购计划的支持下，加州州立大学-洛杉矶（CSULA）的化学和生物化学系将升级其NMR设施，用400 MHz光谱仪取代旧光谱仪，升级另一个400 MHz光谱仪以并行工作，并购买600 MHz光谱仪的配件。 光谱仪将用于各种研究调查，如气体水合物的研究，色谱柱中的运输，大肠杆菌中的细胞内铁释放，芳基膦中的单线态氧以及生态学上重要的信号分子。 核磁共振（NMR）光谱是化学家和生物化学家用于阐明分子结构的最广泛使用的工具。 它用于识别未知物质，并提供有关分子中原子排列和连接的信息。 获得动力学信息，提供对分子运动的洞察。 该奖项将为CSULA的教师和学生提供必要的分析能力。 这些仪器将用于本科生和硕士生的研究、研究培训和教育项目。 它将对学生在各种课程和研究领域中参加的实验室课程产生重大影响。

With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Acquisition Program, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at California State University - Los Angeles (CSULA) will upgrade their NMR facilities by replacing an old spectrometer with a 400 MHz spectrometer, upgrading another 400 MHz spectrometer to work in parallel, and purchase accessories for a 600 MHz spectrometer. The spectrometer will be used in various research investigations such as the study of gas hydrates, transport in chromatographic columns, intracellular iron release in E.coli, singlet oxygen in arylphosphines, and ecologically important signal molecules. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy is the most widely used tool available to chemists and biochemists for the elucidation of the structure of molecules. It is used to identify unknown substances and to provide information on the arrangement and connectivity of atoms in molecules. Dynamical information is obtained providing insight on the motions of molecules. This award will provide essential analytical capabilities to faculty and students at CSULA. The instruments will be used in research, research training and education projects by undergraduate and master degree students. It will have a significant impact on laboratory courses taken by students in a wide variety of courses and fields of study.
