CORE--BIOMOLECULAR FACILITY

产品描述：生物分子研究设施的主要目标是为癌症中心研究人员提供大分子分析、表征和合成。 生物分子研究设施由四个独立但互动的项目区域组成，每个区域都有自己的项目负责人，工作人员和财务会计。 四个程序领域是：蛋白质化学，肽合成，生物医学质谱和DNA化学。该设施的重要性在于，它侧重于商业部门不容易提供的服务，或以高昂的费用提供的服务。 同样重要的是设施工作人员在为癌症中心成员提供互动式科学和技术咨询方面的作用，目的是加快实验设计和执行。由于该设施拥有庞大的用户群，因此它是中心成员之间开发和共享新技术和协议的焦点。

Description: (Applicant's Description) The primary goals of the Biomolecular Research Facility are to provide macromolecular analysis, characterization and synthesis to Cancer Center investigators. The Biomolecular Research Facility is comprised of four individual, but interactive program areas, each with its own program leader, staff and fiscal accounting. The four program areas are: Protein Chemistry, Peptide Synthesis, Biomedical Mass Spectrometry and DNA Chemistry. The importance of the facility resides in the fact that it is focused on services that are either not readily available in the commercial sector or are available at a prohibitive cost. Also of significance is the role of facility staff members in providing interactive scientific and technical consultation to Cancer Center members with the aim of expediting experimental design and execution. Due to the large user-base of the facility, it serves as a focal point for the development and sharing of new techniques and protocols among center members.
