用染料修饰吐温80液—固萃取体系从猪心肌匀浆液中分离纯化心肌黄酶

用三嗪类染料 Ｃｉｂａｃｒｏｎ Ｂｌｕｅ Ｆ３Ｇ－Ａ修饰的吐温８０,与吐温８０、硫酸被构成液－固萃取体系,从猪心肌匀浆液中分离纯化心肌黄酶。研究了吐温８０染料修饰物在吐温８０相中所占的比例、分相盐浓度、溶液的酸度、匀浆液的加入量等对匀浆液中酶及杂蛋白在两相中分配的影响。在室温条件下,酶选择性地进入吐温８０固相,杂蛋白主要留在盐水相。匀浆液中心肌黄酶的酶活力平均收得率为８１．４％,一步纯化倍数为６．６。降低盐浓度,提高盐水相酸度,能使酶从吐温８０固相反萃到盐水相。

Conformational epitope of the type III group B Streptococcus capsular polysaccharide.

The protective epitope of the type III group B streptococcal polysaccharide (GBSPIII) is length dependent and conformational. To obtain a more accurate characterization of the conformational epitope, ELISA inhibition and surface plasmon resonance studies were conducted on two GBSPIII-specific mAbs using a large panel of oligosaccharide probes. The results of the studies confirmed that 2 repeating units (RU) is the minimum binding unit and that, while increases in chain length from 2 RU to 7 RU caused further optimization of the epitope, it remained monovalent. A 3-fold increase in affinity was observed between 7 RU and 20 RU, which, by surface plasmon resonance studies on a Fab, was shown to be due to both further optimization of the individual epitope and the occurrence of multivalency of epitope. The data support our hypothesis that the conformational epitope is an extended helical segment of the GBSPIII. GBSPIII exists mainly in the random coil form, which structurally mimics short oligosaccharide self Ags, but it can infrequently and spontaneously form extended helices. Although not prevalent in GBSPIII, the immune system preferentially selects these helical epitopes because they are unique to the polysaccharide. Contrary to a previously proposed model of GBSPIII binding in which the binding of the first Ab propagates a continuum of helical epitopes, our binding kinetics are consistent only with the helical epitope's being discontinuous and infrequent.     

阿霉素铁(Ⅲ)配合物与DNA结合作用的研究

应用吸收光谱法研究了阿霉素铁（Ⅲ）［ＡＤＭ·Ｆｅ（Ⅲ）］与ＤＮＡ的结合作用,结果表明ＡＤＭ·Ｆｅ（Ⅲ）作为一个整体嵌入ＤＮＡ碱基之间形成ＡＤＭ·Ｆｅ（Ⅲ）·ＤＮＡ三元复合物。应用荧光淬灭法得到了不同Ｎａ＋浓度下ＡＤＭ及ＡＤＭ·Ｆｅ（Ⅲ）与ＤＮＡ结合作用的结合常数（Ｋ）、结合位点距离（ｎ）及标准自由能（ΔＧ）,并根据多聚电解质理论将ΔＧ分解为电荷作用部分（ΔＧｐｅ）及非电荷作用部分（ΔＧｔ）。结果表明ＡＤＭ·Ｆｅ（Ⅲ）中铁离子直接参与了与ＤＮＡ的作用,ＡＤＭ·Ｆｅ（Ⅲ）较ＡＤＭ更易与ＤＮＡ结合,且结合更为紧密     

Pentachlorophenol Dechlorination in Fluidized-Bed Reactors under Methanogenic Conditions

The reductive dechlorination of chlorophenols was studied in three fluidized-bed reactors (FBRs) with respect to enrichment, pathways, complete dechlorination, and overall performance. The methanogenic consortia, developed by previous researchers in our laboratory, have been further enriched by reducing the ratio of substrate to pentachlorophenol (PCP) and increasing the PCP loading. The performance of the consortia was improved, and complete dechlorination at high PCP loading rates was observed, reaching a PCP loading of 1227 µmol/L d with 99% chlorophenol removal. The dechlorination rates in the reactors for chlorophenol (CP) congeners were obtained and were used to evaluate the performance of the three consortia and to quantitatively estimate the fates of these chlorophenols in the reactors. The consortium with the best performance was further investigated in bottle tests by treatment with heat and metabolic inhibitors to examine chlorophenol degradation and to characterize the CP degraders. The degradation of all monochlorophenols was completely inhibited after heat treatment, but the degradation of all other tested chlorophenols was hardly affected by heat treatment, indicating that spore-forming bacteria likely were involved in dechlorination. Addition of sulfate negatively affected CP degradation, but addition of molybdate reduced the effect of sulfate. Tests with 2-bromoethanesulfonic acid and vancomycin indicated that bacteria were responsible for chlorophenol degradation in the consortium.

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of a Locus Responsible for O Acetylation of the O Polysaccharide of Legionella pneumophila Serogroup 1 Lipopolysaccharide

Complementation experiments, Tn5 mutagenesis, and DNA sequencing were used to identify a locus (lag-1) that participates in acetylation of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 lipopolysaccharide. Nuclear magnetic resonance analyses of lipopolysaccharides from mutant and complemented strains suggest that lag-1 is responsible for O acetylation of serogroup 1 O polysaccharide.
