Summary
With support from the Chemical Measurement and Imaging program in the Division of Chemistry, Professor Jennifer S. Brodbelt of the University of Texas at Austin will develop innovative methods to characterize nucleic acids using mass spectrometry. Nucleic acids are being developed for many purposes, including therapeutics, sensors, diagnostics, and data storage. Dr. Brodbelt and her group will design and implement novel analytical methods that integrate high performance mass spectrometry and gas-phase separations to determine the structures of nucleic acids and elucidate their interactions wit
