JSU SCORE Equipment Supplemental

描述(由申请人提供)：在这项设备补充方案中，我们申请一台氩/氪离子激光器，以支持杰克逊州立大学(JSU)成绩计划中的Hiroyasu Tchikawa博士的子项目。所要求的激光将被用作生物电极的拉曼光谱研究的激发源，该生物电极以血红蛋白和藜麦蛋白酶为基础。所要求的激光器需要取代我们目前的氪离子激光器和Ar离子激光器(这些激光器的等离子体管的生产将很快停止)，并提高拉曼光谱数据的质量，因为所要求的激光器在近紫外光到紫外区具有更好的稳定性和更高的激光功率。该激光器将被用作科学与技术学院分析核心设施的一部分，并将帮助获得与立川博士的项目相关的生物分子的结构信息，以及JSU-SCORE计划和其他计划(如JSU-RCMI计划)的其他研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this equipment supplemental proposal, we are requesting an Argon/Krypton Ion Laser for support of the subproject of Dr. Hiroyasu Tachikawa in Jackson State University's (JSU) SCORE Program. The requested laser will be used as an excitation source for Raman spectroscopic investigations of bioelectrodes which are based on hemoprotein and quinoprotein enzymes. The requested laser is needed to replace our current krypton ion laser and argon ion laser (the production of plasma tubes for these lasers will be discontinued shortly) and also improve the quality of Raman spectroscopic data with the requested laser having a better stability and a higher laser power in near-UV to UV regions. The laser will be used as part of the Analytical Core Facilities in the School of Science and Technology and will help to obtain structural information on biomolecules relevant to Dr. Tachikawa's project as well as other investigators on the JSU-SCORE Program and other programs such as the JSU-RCMI Program.
