Acquisition of a Nanoflow LC-QTOF Mass Spectrometer System for Protein Expression and Structural Analysis

这一奖项是为了表彰该大学分子和结构生物化学系高级生物分子相互作用资源(ABIR)获得的液体色谱仪-四极杆飞行时间质谱仪(LC-QTOF-MS)。该仪器将用于蛋白质组学研究、生物分子相互作用分析和LC/MS方法开发。研究人员代表了这所大学的9个系和3个学院。这一新仪器的获得将加强该大学的结构生物学、蛋白质组学和质谱学。它将用于大学课程和一门向当地高中生介绍生物化学的课程。参加代表不足群体的教育计划的教职员工，如SEED计划，也将使用该仪器作为学生研究和学习体验的一部分。总之，这些机会将为学生提供接触先进的高分辨率质谱分析技术，这些技术可能会激励他们探索科学研究和教学领域的职业。

This award is for the acquisition of a liquid chromatograph-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometer (LC-QTOF-MS) for the Advanced Biomolecular Interaction Resource (ABIR) in the Department of Molecular and Structural Biochemistry at the university. This instrument will be used for research in proteomics, biomolecular interaction analysis, and LC/MS method development. The investigators represent 9 departments and 3 colleges across the university.The acquisition of this new instrument will strengthen structural biology, proteomics, and mass spectrometry at the university. It will be used in university courses and in a course that introduces local high school students to biochemistry. Faculty participating in educational programs for underrepresented groups, such as the SEED program, will also be using the instrument as part of the student's research and learning experience. Together, these opportunities will provide students with access to advanced high resolution techniques in mass spectroscopy analysis that may inspire them to explore careers in scientific research and teaching.
