2024 · Form 990, Part III · the three largest programs by expenseResearch conducted at the simons electron microscopy center (semc) is aimed at determining the structure of macromolecules to help understand their function. As of december 31, 2024, the facility had 15 transmission electron microscopes, 3 dual-beam focused ion beam scanning electron microscopes, as well as ancillary equipment for cryoem sample preparation. Semc serves users from nysbc's nine member institutions as well as users from the national community through nih-funded centers (national center for cryoem access and training and national center for in-situ tomographic ultramicroscopy).…
Nysbc provides access to high-field nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectroscopy to faculty from its nine member institutions. The nmr facility instrumentation includes nine nmr spectrometers that generally operate 24 hrs/day, 7 days/week. In 2024, each spectrometer was available, on average, 345 days. These resources allow researchers to determine the structure of proteins in solution and in solid state atomic resolution, data that provides insight into the functional properties of the proteins. In 2024, group members from the laboratories of 17 affiliated principal investigators made use…
Nysbc has maintained x-ray crystallography resources at brookhaven national laboratory (bnl) since 2003. Nysbc has developed and operates beamline 19id-nyx at the national synchrotron light source ii (nsls-ii). Nyx provides the nysbc member institutions and associated investigators with access to synchrotron radiation and instrumentation necessary for collecting crystallographic data on biological macromolecules. Nyx has performed technical and scientific commissioning and started user operations in the spring of 2019. The primary accomplishments of the beamline program for 2024 were upgrades…
