Abstract

Circular dichroism spectroscopy probes the structural properties of biological macromolecules, providing information complementary to that obtained by other methods. The projects described in this proposal seek to use CD to study the fundamental processes underlying disease, gene transcription, enzyme catalysis, protein folding and structure. Birmingham is in an excellent position for conducting interdisciplinary research of this nature, with a superb infrastructure including high field NMR and X-ray instrumentation. Collaborative links are very strong under the broad umbrella of biomolecular sciences. For the maintenance of our internationally competitive position within the areas described it is essential that we obtain a CD spectrometer.
