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.
-
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.
