Research Facilities
The Molecular Biology and Biochemistry program offers complete and
state-of-the-art research facilities within the Department of Molecular,
Microbial and Structural Biology with equipment and expertise for
genetic, biochemical, molecular, cellular, structural and biophysical
investigation. Within the department are facilities for cell culture,
fermentation systems for high volume growth of bacteria and yeast, FPLC
and HPLC, and a biophysics core facility which is equipped with a
circular dichroism spectropolarimeter, an isothermal titration
calorimeter, and multi-angle laser light scattering facilities. The
Department also houses the UConn Health Center
NMR Structural Biology Facility which includes cryoprobe-equipped
500 and 600 MHz NMR spectrometers. Additional NMR spectrometers (400
and 800 MHz) and X-ray crystallography facilities are planned for
2004–05. The Department also houses the UConn Health Center Structural
Biology Computational Facility, which includes a bank of Mac and Linux
desktop computers connected to ultra-fast servers with the latest
structural biology software. Facilities are also available for confocal
laser scanning microscopy and low-light-level imaging microscopy in the
state-of-the-art Center
for Cell Analysis and Modeling. Additional facilities included
electron microscopy, mass spectroscopy, DNA oligonucleotide synthesis
and sequencing, microarray technology, and a transgenic mouse facility.
