Biochemistry and Molecular Biology faculty occupy more than 80,000 sq. ft. of research and office space at the University of Rochester Medical Center and the adjacent College of Arts and Sciences. Major equipment items include: a state-of-the-art macromolecular X-ray crystallography facility; a 500 and a 600 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer; a pulsed liquid phase protein/peptide sequencer with on-line PTH amino acid analysis; peptide and oligonucleotide synthesis and sequencing facilities; fluorescence, CD, and atomic absorption spectrometers; a high capacity fermentor; 2 confocal microscopes; a surface plasmon resonance biosensor; and modern imaging and data analysis facilities. Additional shared resources include: a microarray core; a confocal microscopy suite; liquid handling robotics, a computerized one- and two-dimensional gel analysis facility; a transmission electron microscopy facility; a transgenic mouse facility; an animal tumor/xenograft facility; an APCI/electrospray mass spectrometer; and a cell separation/flow cytometry facility. The Medical School Miner Library and the Carlson Science Library in the College of Arts and Sciences are within a five minute walk of one another. The library facilities in aggregate contain about 2.75 million volumes, 12,000 serial publications, and up-to-date computer access systems.
