High Field Magnetic Resonance Facility The Magnetic Resonance Facility is the responsibility of the Macromolecular Structure & Dynamics (MS&D) directorate within the EMSL. The objectives of the research activities within the EMSL and MS&D are: Conduct research focused on developing a molecular-level understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that underlie environmental remediation, waste processing and storage, and human health effects. Develop a molecular-level understanding of a cellular response to an insult (chemical and/or radiological). Several types of structure/function-based investigations can be carried out utilizing the facilities within the MS&D directorate. Such investigations include, but are not limited to, protein structure, DNA/protein interactions, protein/protein interactions, macromolecular assemblies, microimaging of cells, microimaging of animals, characterization of surfaces, interfacial phenomena (liquid-liquid, liquid-solid, gas-solid, etc.), and characterization of amorphous materials, e.g., glasses. There will be some topics outside the scope of these activities. In those cases, the facility will opt in favor of supporting the best possible science. William R.
