CRePE: Structural Biology Core
FacilityThis core
facility will augment the goals of the
Center for Research on Processes in Evolution
(CRePE) by providing the means to
investigate the molecular basis of
biological processes and will house a
state of the art Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance (NMR) spectrometer. This
instrument will be used to investigate
the structure and dynamics of biological
macromolecules. NMR is the premier
technique for investigating flexibility
in proteins, which will be important for
the completion of
Project 3: The
Evolution of Protein Flexibility.
In addition to COBRE projects,
several laboratories in the state of
Idaho and the Inland Northwest have been
identified whose research would directly
benefit from the development of the
Structural Biology Core Facility, and
thus possibly become more competitive.
Several projects from these laboratories are relevant to the
mission of
NIH.
For more information about
use of the NMR spectrometer or other
equipment in the Structural Biology Core
Facility, contact
Dr. Gary Daughdrill, assistant
professor in UI's
Microbiology, Molecular Biology and
Biochemistry (MMBB) department.
