The CCRC occupies an 140,000 sq.ft. building specifically designed for the interdisciplinary and equipment-intensive nature of carbohydrate science.
The CCRC is organized to optimize cooperation and collaboration among disciplines (biomedical, plant, and microbial glycosciences, synthetic and analytical chemistry) both within the CCRC and with scientists world-wide and to foster analytical service and training.
The CCRC NMR facility
The CCRC NMR facility has three high-field NMR spectrometers (300-, 500-, and 600-MHz), fully equipped for biomolecular studies of liquids and solids. In addition, the Georgia Research Alliance-University of Georgia 800-MHz NMR spectrometer is located in the CCRC and is a regional resource for high-field NMR studies of biological macromolecules.
The CCRC was one of the first institutions world-wide to receive a Varian Unity Inova 900-MHz spectrometer. This instrument is the centerpiece of the Southeast Collaboratory for Biomolecular NMR and is funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences and the Georgia Research Alliance.
The Mass Spectrometry facility houses:
Two Micromass Q-TOF 2 electrospray ionization mass
A ThermoFinnigan LCQ and ThermoFinnigan LCQ Advantage MS
Two ThermoFinnigan LTQs and a ThermoFinnigan LTQ-FT MS
Applied Biosystems 4700 Proteomics Analyzer (TOF/TOF)
Applied Biosystems Voyager DE-Pro (MALDI-TOF)
Five HP GC-MSDs (EI and CI)
The Computational Laboratory at the CCRC is equipped with:
A 128 CPU 32-bit HPC system (HP Proliant based on dual Xeon P4 3.06 GHz, 1GB nodes)
A 16 CPU 64-bit HPC system (HP RX2600 based on dual Itanium 2 1.3 GHz, 2GB nodes)
A 16 node Grid system for code and hardware optimization (single and dual Xeon P4 nodes).
