Structural Biology & Biophysics Facility
Overview
The Structural Biology and Biophysics Facility is a University of Rochester research resource sponsored by the Developmental Center for AIDS Research (DCFAR), located within the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics. Our goal is to provide non-specialist and specialist users with access to biophysical instrumentation designed to:
- determine macromolecular structures by X-ray crystallography,
- quantitatively characterize biomolecular interactions
Staff
Dr. Jermaine Jenkins is the Facility Manager who is available to train individuals in the use of core instruments. He can also assist with experimental design and data interpretation. Dr. Jenkins reports to the Executive Directors of the facility, Profs. Joseph Wedekind and Clara Kielkopf. Operation of the Facility is overseen by a steering committee comprised of local scientists.
Publications resulting from the use of instrumentation should reference support from NIH NCRR grants 1S10 RR026501 and 1S10 RR027241, as well as NIH NIAID P30 AI078498 and the University of Rochester SMD.
