Abstract

Project Summary Under the current NIGMS R15 research award (1R15GM147857-01), this proposal requests supplemental equipment funds that will be used to replace an old broken Odyssey Infrared Imaging system. The parent project focuses on the Proteolytic Regulation of Centrosome Proteins. The requested equipment is essential for carrying out the experimental plans for the Quantitative and Qualitative analysis of proteins successfully. The accurate measurement of protein levels and detection of proteins in low abundance require enhanced sensitivity and resolution. This administrative supplement fund will allow us to purchase Odyssey M Imaging system. This new imaging system will replace a broken Odyssey Infrared scanner and offer technical upgrades in the sensitivity and resolution of signal detection, which will serve a critical role in the success of the parent R15 project.
