两种PCR方法对检测A组轮状病毒膜芯片杂交结果的影响

A组轮状病毒(rotavirus,RV)是导致拿世界婴幼儿腹泻的最主要病原,危害巨大。拟用RT-巢式PCR技术对A组RV的保守序列进行高度扩增,通过固本室内制的膜芯片杂交,实现对该病毒的检测。分别采用对称PCR和不对称PCR扩增,均可得到扩增的目的片段．对称式扩增产物杂交结果不理想。而不对称式扩增得到了大量待检单链产物,同膜芯片杂交获得了理想的杂交结果。显著地提高了对A组RV杂交检测的灵敏度。表明不对称式PCR扩增是一种制备用于芯片杂交大量单链产物的理想方法,尤其是针对富含AT的核酸检测区域。

La grotte de Santa Ana (Cáceres, Espagne) et l'évolution technologique au Pléistocène dans la Péninsule ibérique

The excavations carried out in the cave of Santa Ana (Cáceres, Spain), cave of the karstic network of the “Calerizo” of Cáceres, enabled us to know the existence, in stratigraphy, of the three lito-techniques modes which characterize the industrial development of lower and middle Pleistocene in the Iberian Peninsula. On standby of new research, the results obtained until now permit us two work out a diachronic assumption of technical evolution. In the Iberian Peninsula, there are only two karstic systems where we can fallow this technological development; one is the “Sierra de Atapuerca” (Burgos) and the other is the “Calerizo de Cáceres” (Cáceres).     

Reaction of haem containing proteins and enzymes with hydroperoxides: The radical view

The reaction between hydroperoxides and the haem group of proteins and enzymes is important for the function of many enzymes but has also been implicated in a number of pathological conditions where oxygen binding proteins interact with hydrogen peroxide or other peroxides. The haem group in the oxidized Fe³⁺ (ferric) state reacts with hydroperoxides with a formation of the Fe⁴⁺=O (oxoferryl) haem state and a free radical primarily located on the π-system of the haem. The radical is then transferred to an amino acid residue of the protein and undergoes further transfer and transformation processes. The free radicals formed in this reaction are reviewed for a number of proteins and enzymes. Their previously published EPR spectra are analysed in a comparative way. The radicals directly detected in most systems are tyrosyl radicals and the peroxyl radicals formed on tryptophan and possibly cysteine. The locations of the radicals in the proteins have been reported as follows: Tyr133 in soybean leghaemoglobin; αTyr42, αTrp14, βTrp15, βCys93, (αTyr24−αHis20), all in the α- and β-subunits of human haemoglobin; Tyr103, Tyr151 and Trp14 in sperm whale myoglobin; Tyr103, Tyr146 and Trp14 in horse myoglobin; Trp14, Tyr103 and Cys110 in human Mb. The sequence of events leading to radical formation, transformation and transfer, both intra- and intermolecularly, is considered. The free radicals induced by peroxides in the enzymes are reviewed. Those include: lignin peroxidase, cytochrome c peroxidase, cytochrome c oxidase, turnip isoperoxidase 7, bovine catalase, two isoforms of prostaglandin H synthase, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Synechocystis PCC6803 catalase-peroxidases.
