DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks funds to upgrade current electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) equipment at the University of Florida (UF) for biomedical studies. We specifically wish to upgrade our Bruker ESP300e X-band continuous wave (CW) EPR spectrometer to a Bruker E500 X-band (9.5 GHz) and Q-band (35 GHz) CW EPR spectrometer with the variable temperature capabilities down to 1.8 K. The proposed upgrade will provide new capabilities above our current instrumentation to several research groups at UF and at the University of Central Florida (UCF). These include temperature capabilities to 1.8 K for metalloprotein EPR investigations and Q- band frequencies for enhanced spectral resolution and investigation of protein dynamics through a multi- frequency approach in natively unstructured proteins and membrane proteins. This instrument will also become part of the external users program at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) and be made available to requests world-wide through that program. In addition, this new spectrometer will relieve the burden of CW EPR experiments that are currently being performed on our single pulsed EPR spectrometer. Over ten Faculty at UF, along with outside collaborations, and two Faculty at UCF will benefit from the increased EPR time and capabilities offered by this upgrade. Several of the Faculty are within the Chemistry Department. Many are Users or collaborators from the College of Medicine; some are new faculty. The NIH funded research of biomedical systems requiring EPR experiments vary across our User base and include studies of nanoparticles, spin-trapping and dosimetry measurements with applications in radiation therapy and oxidative damage; characterization of metalloproteins and inorganic complexes involved in energy metabolism; site-directed spin- labeling (SDSL) studies of natively unstructured proteins that regulate cell cycle and are involved in oncology; SDSL studies of membrane proteins involved in lipid and nutrient transport, and SDSL studies of conformational sampling in natural polymorphisms and drug-resistant constructs of HIV-1 protease.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案寻求资金来升级佛罗里达大学（UF）生物医学研究的当前电子顺磁共振（EPR）设备。 We specifically wish to upgrade our Bruker ESP300e X-band continuous wave (CW) EPR spectrometer to a Bruker E500 X-band (9.5 GHz) and Q-band (35 GHz) CW EPR spectrometer with the variable temperature capabilities down to 1.8 K. The proposed upgrade will provide new capabilities above our current instrumentation to several research groups at UF and at the University of Central Florida (UCF).其中包括用于金属蛋白EPR研究的1.8 K的温度能力和Q-频带频率，以增强光谱分辨率和通过本质非结构化蛋白质和膜蛋白的多频率方法研究蛋白质动力学。该工具还将成为国家高磁场实验室（NHMFL）的外部用户计划的一部分，并通过该计划在全球范围内提供请求。此外，该新光谱仪将减轻目前正在我们的单个脉冲EPR光谱仪上执行的CW EPR实验的负担。 UF的十多名教职员工以及外部合作，UCF的两名教师将受益于此升级提供的EPR时间和功能的增加。几个教师在化学系内。许多是医学院的用户或合作者；有些是新教师。 NIH资助了需要EPR实验的生物医学系统的研究，包括对纳米颗粒的研究，旋转诱捕和剂量测量测量以及在放射治疗和氧化损伤中的应用；涉及能量代谢的金属蛋白和无机复合物的表征；定向定向的自旋标记（SDSL）研究对细胞周期并参与肿瘤学的本质非结构化蛋白的研究； SDSL研究参与脂质和营养转运的膜蛋白，以及对HIV-1蛋白酶的天然多态性和耐药结构中构象采样的SDSL研究。
