Optically detected magnetic resonance studies of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 binding to a negatively charged substrate analogue

The direct binding of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 and its zymogen to 1,2-bis(heptanylcarbamoyl)-rac-glycerol 3-sulfate was studied by optical detection of triplet-state magnetic resonance spectroscopy in zero applied magnetic field. The zero-field splittings of the single Trp3 residue undergo significant changes upon binding of phospholipase A2 to lipid. Shifts in zero-field splittings, characterized mainly by a reduction of the E parameter from 1.215 to 1.144 GHz, point to large changes in the Trp3 local environment which accompany the complexing of phospholipase A2 with lipid. This may be attributed to Stark effects caused by the binding of a charged group near Trp3 in the enzyme-lipid complex. The cofactor, Ca2+, which is strongly bound to the enzyme active site, has an influence on the bonding, as reflected by smaller zero-field splitting shifts. A relatively small change in the Trp environment was observed for the interaction of the zymogen with lipid.     

Further investigation on nuclear transplantation in different orders of teleost: the combination of the nucleus of Tilapia (Oreochromis nilotica) and the cytoplasm of Loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus).

The nucleus of a blastula cell from Tilapia (Oreochromis nilotica, family Cichlidae, order Perciformes) was transplanted into an enucleated egg of Loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus, family Cobitidae, order Cypriniformes). From among 3747 nucleo-cytoplasmic hybrid (NCH) eggs two NCH larval fish (0.05%) were obtained; one died on the 6th day and the other died on the 12th day after the operation. Morphological examinations showed that both NCH larval fish had developed normally with an opened mouth except they could not take food after complete utilization of their egg yolk on the 5th day of development. The possible mechanisms for obtaining such inter-order NCH larval fish are discussed. This is the first report indicating that inter-order NCH larval fish can be obtained in spite of their evolutionary divergence.     

recA基因通过同源重组途径参与由整合质粒发动的大肠杆菌染色体复制

我们在前文中报道由整合的F'质粒所发动的大肠杆菌染色体的复制依赖于recA基因。本文报道有关recA、recB、recC以及lexA等在染色体复制中的作用,实验结果说明,recA基因通过同源重组途径而不是通过SOS途径参与复制,而且recA基因和Chi热点无关。实验结果还说明,RecBC酶的依赖于ATP的双链DNA外切核酸酶活性和recA基因的作用无关。

根据灰色系统关联分析的基本原理,提出了白背飞虱种群动态的加权关联度预测法。衢县早稻后期白背飞虱发生量与历年6月25～30日平均百丛虫量X_1（t）、同期若虫比例X_2（t）、迟熟品种比例X_3（t）、6月下旬水分积分指数X_4（t）和平均气温X_5（t）等因素的关联序为：X_2（t）＞X_1（t）＞X_3（t）＞X_5（t）＞X_4（t）。据此建立的加权关联度预测模型,经12年资料回测和试报验证,结果令人满意。     

Optimization of affinity and ion-exchange chromatographic processes for the purification of proteins

This study documents several alternative approaches for the optimization of the ion-exchange and affinity chromatographic purification of proteins. In these approaches, the chromatographic process has been treated as a four-stage (adsorption, washing, elution, and regeneration) operation. Central to these investigations has been the elaboration of practical iterative procedures based on the use of theoretical models describing each of these stages. Predictions derived from these models have then been evaluated in terms of experimental data obtained using batch adsorption measurements in finite bath configurations and frontal breakthrough measurements with packed beds of different dimensions, containing nonporous and porous adsorbents of different selectivities and capacities for proteins. Commencing with the kinetic and distribution parameters derived from batch equilibrium measurements, the effect of the initial concentration of the target protein, the solid-liquid volume ratio, the superficial velocity and the column dimensions on the pressure drop, production rate, concentration profile, column utilization, and yield have been determined with packed beds. The potential of these iterative approaches to simplify the determination of key mass transfer and interaction parameters required for scale-up and economic optimization of chromatographic purifications of proteins has been examined using ion exchange, immobilized metal ion affinity, and triazine dye pseudo-affinity adsorbents of different selectivity and adsorption capacities.

草鱼染色体的包装（间期—中期）

以草鱼ＺＣ７９０１细胞株为材料,观察鱼类细胞从间期染色质到中期染色体的包装过程。主要通过（１）分裂期与间期细胞融合,诱导染色体早熟凝集;（２）染色体“伸长”处理;（３）培养细胞的低渗处理;（４）染色质辅展等方法,制作染色体标本,进行扫描和透射电镜观察。观察表明,鱼类染色质的基本结构与哺乳类细胞相同,也是直径约１０ｎｍ的核丝。染色体的色装有两种形式：一种是多级螺旋化形成直径约３００ｎｍ的染色单体,
