Access to state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers is essential to chemists and biochemists who are carrying out frontier research. It is used to identify unknown substances, to characterize specific arrangements of atoms within molecules, and to study the dynamics of interactions between molecules in solution. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful tools available to chemists for the elucidation of the structure of molecules. The proposal is aimed at enhancing research training and education at all levels, especially in areas of study such as the investigation of protein dynamics and structure in the neurotrophin and RGS families of signaling proteins to better understand the mechanisms of signal transmission and regulation synthesis of C-aryl glycosides to use as nucleoside analogues and for sequence-specific DNA binding preparation of ruthenium complexes that selectively catalyze inner-sphere hydride transfer to ketones synthesis of trinuclear group 4 metal complexes to catalyze nitrogen activation/hydrogenation and design and synthesis of enediyne-based aromatase modulators, a promising class of therapeutics for breast cancer treatment. With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program Professor Karin Crowhurst and colleagues Eric Kelson, Paul Shin, Thomas Minehan and Yann Schrodi from California State University Northridge will acquire a 600 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. Primary Place of Performance Congressional District: Paul Shin (Former Co-Principal Investigator).Thomas Minehan (Co-Principal Investigator).
