This proposal requests funding for the purchase of a state-of-                  the-art amino acid analyzer with a high degree of sensitivity for               University of Hawaii's Biotechnology-Molecular Biology                          Instrumentation Facility.  This facility has been assembled for                 the shared use of all University faculty who require services in                protein sequencing, peptide and oligonucleotide synthesis and                   related services on a "fee-for-service" basis.  However, the                    facility currently lacks a modern amino acid analyzer and the                   faculty's needs for protein compositional data have gone unmet.                 The only existing amino acid analyzer on campus, which is                       dedicated to one lab, is a Beckman 121 MB and is 11 years old.                  It is outdated in terms of sensitivity and is increasingly                      difficult to maintain for lack of spare parts.  Having such                     routine analysis done on the mainland is unrealistic because of                 Hawaii's geographical isolation.  The lack of an amino acid                     analyzer is a major deficiency which if corrected will                          significantly enhance the capacity of the core facility to                      provide services in macromolecular characterization for the                     University research community.
