Applicant: Research Foundation of The City University of New York, 79 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10003. Instrument: Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer, EMX Series. Manufacturer: Bruker Instruments, Germany. Intended Use: The instrument will be used for studies of Lithium-transition metal insertion compounds; prefluorinated polymers prepared by chemical or radiation crosslinking. Investigations will be conducted to determine the correlation between EPR spectroscopic parameters and electrical properties of the materials, the goal of which is to better understand the atomic/molecular level processes associated with electrical conductivity. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: August 21, 1997. Docket Number: 97-074. Applicant: Case Western Reserve University, School of Medicine, Department of Biochemistry, 10900 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44106. Instrument: Stopped-Flow Spectrometer, Model SX.18MV. Manufacturer: Applied Photophysics Ltd., United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to investigate the kinetics of the interaction between biological macromolecules and ligands in experiments conducted to: (1) Monitor the interaction between RNA polymerase and double stranded DNA, (2) monitor the interaction of cinnamoyl-CoA substrates with enoyl-CoA hydratase and (3) monitor the interaction of transcription factors with ribosomes. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: August 22, 1997. Frank W. Creel, Director, Statutory Import Programs Staff. [FR Doc. 97-23996 Filed 9-9-97; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-DS-P
