Support is requested for a magnetic resonance core. Experiments that are proposed mainly in projects 2 and 3 are directed at generating medium and high-resolution structural data of protein domains interacting with membrane interfaces and lipids. This core will provide both equipment and expertise for the design and implementation of resonance experiments (both EPR and NMR based) to generate these structures. A number of specialized methods, unique to the determination of protein structures at interfaces, will be employed for which the PI and senior scientist (Dr. Jeffrey F. Ellena) and consultant have considerable expertise. Dr. Jeff Ellena currently manages the magnetic resonance facility in the Chemistry Department at UVa. A portion of his time will be made available to train students and scientists in the program in the use of EPR equipment and in the analysis of EPR data. He will also be available to prepare membrane mimetic samples and execute NMR experiments directed at determining the localization of protein domains within lipid interfaces. Dr. Ellena will interact both with the PI, and with Prof. John Bushweller on the design and interpretation of experiments. Dr. Bushweller will act as a consultant for assistance in the preparation of samples, the expression of labeled peptides, and in the implementation of high-resolution line-narrowing NMR methods.

请求支持磁共振芯。主要在项目2和3中提出的实验旨在生成与膜界面和脂质相互作用的蛋白质结构域的培养基和高分辨率结构数据。该核心将提供设备和专业知识，以设计和实施共振实验（基于EPR和NMR）以生成这些结构。将采用许多专业方法，这些方法是界面上蛋白质结构的独特方法，将采用PI和高级科学家（Jeffrey F. Ellena博士）和顾问具有相当大的专业知识。杰夫·埃琳娜（Jeff Ellena）博士目前在UVA的化学部门管理磁共振设施。他的一部分时间将用于培训该计划的学生和科学家，以使用EPR设备和EPR数据分析。他还将可以准备膜模拟样品，并执行旨在确定脂质界面中蛋白质结构域定位的NMR实验。 Ellena博士将与PI互动，以及John Bushweller教授的实验设计和解释。 Bushweller博士将担任顾问，以帮助制备样品，标记的肽的表达以及实施高分辨率线纳入NMR方法的顾问。
