This award will provide partial funding for the purchase of a high         mass, high performance tandem mass spectrometer.  The machine will be           used for determination of amino acid sequences, characterization of             post-transcriptional modifications of proteins and structural                   characterization of cross-linked ligand-receptor complexes, synthetic           polypeptides and other compounds of biological interest.  Among the             proteins to be examined are membrane-bound receptors, hormones, enzymes         and transcription factors.  The remaining funds neccessary for purchase         of the instrument will be provided by the university.                                Mass spectrometry is a technique of increasing utility in the              structural characterization of a wide variety of biochemical compounds.         Of particular interest is the use of this technique in the sequence             analysis of modified proteins, peptidoglycans and other                         polysaccharides, since this information is often difficult or                   impossible to obtain by other means.  The planned uses for this                 instrument should result in improved analytical methods as well as              providing important new information about particular molecules.
