The Medical University of South Carolina has extensive structural biology facilities which are operated as Shared Institutional Research Resource Facilities. Housed in the Department of Cell and Molecular Pharmacology are:
The Mass Spectrometry Facility, which includes a tandem time-of-flight (TOF), a MALDI-TOF, a Quadrupole TOF and three ion-trap ESI instruments.
The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry Facility, which includes a Varian INOVA 400 MHz spectrometer.
Additional structural biology resources on campus include peptide synthesis, protein sequencing, amino acid analysis, nucleotide synthesis, and DNA sequencing instrumentation. The Biomolecular Computing Resource includes molecular graphics, protein sequence, nucleic acid sequence and protein crystal structure databases and extensive software for analysis.
