FACILITIES
♦ The Stony Brook Regional NMR Center is housed in the Department of Chemistry and maintained by a full-time NMR spectroscopist. The facility includes 11 solution and solid-state spectrometers ranging from 200 to 700 MHz. Students acquire their own NMR data after training by the staff spectroscopist. Stony Brook University is also a member of the New York Structural Biology Center . The NYSBC has a wide array of high field NMR instrumentation including two 900 MHz instruments, and facilities for electron cryomicroscopy.
♦ The X-ray Crystallography Center is equipped with two single-crystal diffractometers, including a Bruker Smart System with a CCD detector. Crystal structures of small molecules are routinely solved in 7 hours, and students can have hands-on access to the facility. Besides this in-house facility, researchers have access to the crystallography facility in the Center for Structural Biology and have access to beamline X26C at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
♦ The Departmental Computing Facility supports a VMS cluster, several multiprocessor servers including a large (~100CPUs) linux-based Beowulf cluster and a RAMDATA (rapid access and analysis of massive data blocks) facility. All students have their own computer accounts with access to campus e-mail, electronic journals and Web services. A graduate student computing site with SGI Octanes provides access to programs such as Gaussian W03, Gaussian 98 and Macromodel.
♦ Mass spectrometers are available in both the Mass Spectrometer Facility and the ICB&DD Analytical Facility. Both of these facilities reside in the Chemistry building. Instrumentation available includes MALDI-TOF, LC-MS, FAB, EI, and GC/MS.
♦ The Chemistry Library is located in the Chemistry building and is open 24 hours a day to graduate students and faculty. The University Library has over 2 million books and subscribes to over 10,000 electronic journals. The Library provides access to modern literature search tools such as Scifinder Scholar, the Web of Science (Science Citation Index) and MDL (Beilstein) Commander.
♦ Machine and Electronics Shops provide valuable research support for projects requiring design and fabrication services.
