ELECTRON PARAMAGNETIC SPIN RESONANCE FACILITY

这项新提案的目的是为南卡罗来纳医科大学（MUSC）获得一个电子顺磁共振设施。拟议设施的关键部件是布鲁克ELEXSYS E-500- 10/12 x波段脉冲时域电子自旋共振光谱仪数据系统。该设施是由来自MUSC两个学院和三个系的7个主要用户要求的。1. 在MUSC获得EPR频谱采集和分析能力。确保EPR功能与数据积累和处理功能相匹配。2. 为了提高美国国立卫生研究院资助的研究人员的生产力，提高研究效率和MUSC研究教员和学员的竞争力。3. 利用这一设施促进使用者之间的跨学科工作。该设施解决了测量生物样品PR光谱的广泛需求，以支持MUSC许多不同学科的研究。详细的组织计划、实质性的机构承诺支持和长期维护计划确保了设施的持续可变性。该设施的可用性将为我们机构发展强大的生物物理能力提供独特的机会。它将成为跨学科调查和培训的平台，并将大大提高MUSC研究人员的竞争力。

The purpose of this new proposal is to obtain an Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Facility for the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The key components of the proposed facility are a Bruker ELEXSYS E-500- 10/12 X-Band Pulsed Time Domain Electron Spin Resonance Spectrometer Data System. This facility is requested by a group of 7 major users from two Colleges and three Departments at MUSC. 1. To obtain a EPR spectral acquisition and analysis capability at MUSC. To ensure that the EPR capability is well-matched by data accumulation and processing capabilities. 2. To sue the facility to enhance the productivity of NIH-funded investigators and to improve the research efficiency and competitiveness of MUSC research faculty and trainees. 3. To use this facility to foster interdisciplinary work among the users. The facility addresses a broad need to measure the PR spectra of biological samples to support research in many different disciplines at MUSC. A detailed organizational plan, substantial institutional commitment of support, and a long term plan for maintenance ensures the sustained variability of the facility. The availability of this facility will provide unique opportunities for the development of powerful biophysical capabilities at our institution. It will serve as a platform for interdisciplinary investigation and training, and will significantly enhance the competitiveness of MUSC investigators.
