Research quality
The research of the unit as a whole is of a high quality and the unit is also well cited
in the international literature. However, the impact and publication record of the
FTICR-MS activities are not yet at the level of the activities in crystallography.
Overall, this is an active and young research unit and the combination of X-ray
analysis and FTICR-MS could hold a large research potential for the future.
Research environment
The research environment and the instrumentation is very good and a highlight for
the unit. The in-house protein diffractometer is essential for the X-ray studies and
one of the few instruments in Finland. More sophisticated measurements are
conducted at synchrotrons in Hamburg or Grenoble. The mass spectrometry group is
equipped with various high-resolution machines, and especially the recently installed
12 Tesla FT-ICR is unique in Finland. In Europe, it is only the fifth such instrument.
Other units at UEF, VTT and chemical companies profit from this outstanding
equipment.
