Abstract

The W.M. Keck Foundation Center for Molecular Structure (CMolS) at California State University Fullerton is the first comprehensive x-ray crystallographic and computational facility located at a predominantly undergraduate institution. CMolS, a core facility of the California State University Program for Research and Education in Biotechnology (CSUPERB), engages more than thirty faculty and hundreds of student investigators throughout the 23-campus CSU in joint research and education activities directed at the determination and critical analysis of molecular structures. Recognizing that distance learning and remote access represent an exciting new area of research and training, CMolS has taken a leadership role in the CSU in using the Internet to restructure and globalize formal education in x-ray crystallography by developing and implementing novel Webbased courses, tutorials and virtual laboratories that require specialized instrumentation and expertise.

An NIH Structural Biology report and the Department of Energy [1] have indicated that high throughput crystallography is a top research priority in the post-genomic era.
