项目摘要

MOLECULAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE CORE FACILITY The Molecular Magnetic Resonance (MMR) Core Facility houses two NMR instruments-one 300 MHz and one 250 MHz spectrometer. Both equipments have been used intensively by biomedical researchers at Jackson State University (JSU). The spectrometers are periodically maintained and have been recently upgraded with a new probe for the 300 MHz spectrometer. The 250 MHz NMR is used for research and training new users. The usage of the 300 MHz NMR has increased dramatically after it was recently outfitted with a new probe. The total number of users has reached 100 during the current grant period. The MMR Core Facility is staffed with one faculty manager and one technician who have a background in organic chemistry and expertise in NMR Spectroscopy. The MMR Core Facility has trained many researchers and investigators by providing hands-on experience on equipment usage and interpretation of the spectra. Last year alone, there were fifty-seven people including four faculty members who participated in MMR-related workshops and classes. The training sessions that we provided have been a major vehicle in enlarging the user community of the MMR Core Facility. The user community of the MMR Core Facility has published more than sixteen papers in peer reviewed journals, and thirteen research proposals were funded for projects using the MMR Core Facility during the last five years of the program. As an important RCMI laboratory at JSU, the MMR Core Facility plans to do the following in the next five years: (1) provide high field FT-NMR and EPR instruments for all researchers who need sophisticated structural determinations in their research; (2) offer proficient technical support for users who need to use NMR and EPR but are not experts in operating the instruments; (3) maintain all spectrometers in their optimal technical specifications and guarantee their availability for research needs; (4) expand the facility's current capability by providing additional accessories, such as new probes and variable temperature units; and (5) provide workshops and training sessions to enlarge the user groups to include students and faculty in chemistry, biology, engineering and environmental science areas.

分子磁共振核心设施分子磁共振 (MMR) 核心设施配备两台 NMR 仪器 - 一台 300 MHz 和一台 250 MHz 光谱仪。杰克逊州立大学 (JSU) 的生物医学研究人员广泛使用了这两种设备。光谱仪定期维护，最近已升级为 300 MHz 光谱仪的新探头。 250 MHz NMR 用于研究和培训新用户。 300 MHz NMR 的使用量急剧增加最近配备了新探头后。当前授权期内用户总数已达到100人。 MMR 核心设施配备了一名教职经理和一名技术人员，他们拥有有机化学背景和核磁共振波谱学专业知识。 MMR 核心设施通过提供设备使用和光谱解释的实践经验，培训了许多研究人员和调查人员。仅去年一年，就有 57 人（包括 4 名教职人员）参加了 MMR 相关的研讨会和课程。培训内容我们提供的会议是扩大 MMR 核心设施用户社区的主要工具。 MMR 核心设施的用户社区在同行评审期刊上发表了超过 16 篇论文，在该计划的最后五年中，使用 MMR 核心设施的项目获得了 13 项研究提案的资助。作为JSU重要的RCMI实验室，MMR核心设施计划在未来五年内完成以下工作：（1）为所有在研究中需要复杂结构测定的研究人员提供高场FT-NMR和EPR仪器；（2）为需要使用NMR、EPR但不是仪器操作专家的用户提供熟练的技术支持； (3) 使所有光谱仪保持最佳技术规格，并保证其可满足研究需求； (4) 通过提供额外的附件（例如新的探头和可变温度装置）来扩展设施的当前能力； (5) 提供讲习班和培训课程，以扩大用户群体，包括化学、生物、工程和环境科学领域的学生和教师。
