NEW YORK STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY CENTER - NYSBC

The New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC) is a state-of-the-art research center being developed cooperatively by ten outstanding research centers.The Center houses the largest and most advanced cluster of high-field research magnets (NMRs) in the United States in its first phase. The second phase includes a state-of-the-art cryo Electron Microscopes and sample preparation resources, and will expand with additional microscopes. NYSBC is the organizer for the Participating Research Team at beam lines X4A and X4C at Brookhaven National Laboratory. For further information visit: www.nysbc.org



CCNY/RCMI ANIMAL FACILITIES RENOVATION

RCMI Program received $6 Million, $700,000 grant from NIH/NCRR & $5.3 Million from CCNY, CUNY, NYS Dormitory Authority, to address the following needs: (i) New HVAC, (ii) Newly Designed Cage Processing Facility, (iii) Creation of Rodent Barrier Facility for Transgenic Mice, (iv) New Housing System for Existing Animals This renovation will assure us to obtain ALAC accreditation for CCNY animal facilities.

Fax Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility

The plaza level of NMR Facility houses two High Field NMR spectrometers bought recently from Varian Inc., Palo Alto, CA, which operate at 600 MHz and 500 MHz frequencies respectively. The 600 MHz NMR spectrometer has a Triple Resonance Probe, an essential component to undertake research on bio molecular structure determination using NMR techniques. It also has a PENTA Probe for multinuclear experiments. The 500 MHZ NMR spectrometer has a Switchable Probe with options for measuring NMR for four nuclei.

Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting - FACS

The new Bench top BD LSR II FACS machine located in the RCMI core facility at City College of New York is equip with 3 lasers and have the capability to host a fourth laser. This equipment is managed by Mr. Jeffery Walker, Flow Technician, and the machine is located in Marshak Science building room J611A.
Laser 1 is a blue 488 nm laser: This can detect cell surface or intracellular receptors/molecules conjugated to FITC, GFP, PE, PI | more
