High Field Magnetic Resonance Facility 16-ton magnetic spectrometer installed at EMSL The Magnetic Resonance Facility is one of six experiment-based facilities 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 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 EMSL in conjunction with the Molecular Sturture and Dynamics 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 may 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.
