SIMtoEXP is a software package designed to facilitate the comparison of biomembrane simulations with experimental X-ray and
neutron scattering data. It has the following features: (1) Accepts number density profiles from simulations in a standard
but flexible format. (2) Calculates the electron density ε(z) and neutron scattering length density ν(z) profiles along the z direction (i.e., normal to the membrane) and their respective Fourier transforms (i.e., F
ε
[q
z
] and F
ν
[q
z
]). The resultant four functions are then displayed graphically. (3) Accepts experimental F
ε
(q
z
) and F
ν
(q
z
) data for graphical comparison with simulations. (4) Allows for lipids and other large molecules to be parsed into component
groups by the user and calculates the component volumes following Petrache et al. (Biophys J 72:2237–2242, 1997). The software then calculates and displays the contributions of each component group as volume probability profiles, ρ(z), as well as the contributions of each component to ε(z) and ν(z). 相似文献

Photoinhibition of colonial and unicellular <Emphasis Type="Italic">Microcystis</Emphasis> cells in a summer bloom in Lake Taihu 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To evaluate the photoinhibition of colonial and unicellular cells of Microcystis aeruginosa under natural conditions, the maximum and effective quantum yields of photosystem II were measured from variable chlorophyll
a fluorescence in samples from Lake Taihu during a summer bloom from June 19 to 21, 2006. Diurnal changes in the photoinhibition
of Microcystis cells incubated immediately below the surface in clear bottles for 30 min and in situ samples under natural conditions were
measured. At solar noon during the three days, the mean values of maximum quantum yield (F
v/F
m) and effective quantum yield (ΔF/F
m′) for unicellular cells (F
v/F
m = 0.15, ΔF/F
m′ = 0.10) were lower than those for colonial cells (F
v/F
m = 0.25, ΔF/F
m′ = 0.15). For in situ samples, the values of F
v/F
m and ΔF/F
m′ for colonial cells at solar noon on the three days (F
v/F
m 0.30, 0.25, 0.29; ΔF/F
m′ 0.24, 0.21, 0.22) were also higher than those of unicellular cells (F
v/F
m 0.26, 0.18, 0.25; ΔF/F
m′ 0.15, 0.11, 0.14). The results indicate that colony formation has a protective effect on Microcystis cells by reducing the occurrence of photoinhibition under high light intensities. 相似文献

Near-isogenic lines of maize varying in their genes for flavonoid biosynthesis were utilized to examine the effects of foliar
flavonoids and nutrient deficiency on maximum net photosynthetic rate (P
N) and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence (Fv/Fm) in response to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. Plants with deficient (30 to 70 % lower N, K, Mn, Fe, and Zn) and sufficient
nutrients were exposed to four irradiation regimes: (1) no UV-B with solar photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), (2) two day shift to ambient artificial UV-B, 8.2–9.5 kJ m−2 d−1 (21–25 mmol m−2 d−1); (3) continuous ambient artificial UV-B; (4) continuous solar UV-B in Hawaii 12–18 kJ m−2 d−1 (32–47 mmol m−2 d−1). The natural ratio of UVB: PAR (0.25–0.40) was maintained in the UV-B treatments. In the adequately fertilized plants, lines
b and lc had higher contents of flavonoids and anthocyanins than did lines hi27 and dta. UV-B induced the accumulation of
foliar flavonoids in lines hi27 and b, but not in the low flavonoid line dta or in the high flavonoid line lc. In plants grown
on deficient relative to adequate nutrients, flavonoid and anthocyanin contents decreased by 30–40 and 40–50 %, respectively,
and Chl a and Chl b contents decreased by 30 and 70 %, respectively. The UV-B treatments did not significantly affect P
N and Fv/Fm in plants grown on sufficient nutrients, except in the low flavonoid lines dta and hi27 in which P
N and Fv/Fm decreased by ∼15 %. P
N, Fv/Fm, and stomatal conductance decreased markedly (20–30 %) in all lines exposed to UV-B when grown on low nutrients. The decrease
in Fv/Fm was 10 % less in higher flavonoid lines b and lc. The photosynthetic apparatus of maize readily tolerated ambient UV-B in
the tropics when plants were adequately fertilized. In contrast, ambient UV-B combined with nutrient deficiency significantly
reduced photosynthesis in this C4 plant. Nutrient deficiency increased the susceptibility of maize to UV-B-induced photoinhibition in part by decreasing the
contents of photoprotective compounds. 相似文献

Phototrophs of the family Heliobacteriaceae contain the simplest known Type I reaction center (RC), consisting of a homodimeric
(PshA)2 core devoid of bound cytochromes and antenna proteins. Unlike plant and cyanobacterial Photosystem I in which the FA/FB protein, PsaC, is tightly bound to P700–FX cores, the RCs of Heliobacterium modesticaldum contain two FA/FB proteins, PshBI and PshBII, which are loosely bound to P800–FX cores. These two 2[4Fe–4S] ferredoxins have been proposed to function as mobile redox proteins, reducing downstream metabolic
partners much in the same manner as does [2Fe–2S] ferredoxin or flavodoxin (Fld) in PS I. Using P800–FX cores devoid of PshBI and PshBII, we show that iron–sulfur cluster FX directly reduces Fld without the involvement of FA or FB (Fld is used as a proxy for soluble redox proteins even though a gene encoding Fld is not identified in the H. modesticaldum genome). The reduction of Fld is suppressed by the addition of PshBI or PshBII, an effect explained by competition for the
electron on FX. In contrast, P700–FX cores require the presence of the PsaC, and hence, the FA/FB clusters for Fld (or ferredoxin) reduction. Thus, in H. modesticaldum, the interpolypeptide FX cluster serves as the terminal bound electron acceptor. This finding implies that the homodimeric (PshA)2 cores should be capable of donating electrons to a wide variety of yet-to-be characterized soluble redox partners. 相似文献

The role of the C-terminal region of Bacillus licheniformis γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (BlGGT) was investigated by deletion analysis. Seven C-terminally truncated BlGGTs lacking 581–585, 577–585, 576–585, 566–585, 558–585, 523–585, and 479–585 amino acids, respectively, were generated by
site-directed mutagenesis. Deletion of the last nine amino acids had no appreciable effect on the autocatalytic processing
of the enzyme, and the engineered protein was active towards the synthetic substrate L-γ-glutamyl-p-nitroanilide. However, a further deletion to Val576 impaired the autocatalytic processing. In vitro maturation experiments showed that the truncated BlGGT precursors, pro-Δ(576–585), pro-Δ(566–585), and pro-Δ(558–585), could partially precede a time-dependent autocatalytic
process to generate the L- and S-subunits, and these proteins showed a dramatic decrease in catalytic activity with respect
to the wild-type enzyme. The parental enzyme (BlGGT-4aa) and BlGGT were unfolded biphasically by guanidine hydrochloride (GdnCl), but Δ(577–585), Δ(576–585), Δ(566–585), Δ(558–585), Δ(523–585),
and Δ(479–585) followed a monophasic unfolding process and showed a sequential reduction in the GdnCl concentration corresponding
to half effect and ΔG
0 for the unfolding. BlGGT-4aa and BlGGT sedimented at ∼4.85 S and had a heterodimeric structure of approximately 65.23 kDa in solution, and this structure was
conserved in all of the truncated proteins. The frictional ratio (f/f
o) of BlGGT-4aa, BlGGT, Δ(581–585), and Δ(577–585) was 1.58, 1.57, 1.46, and 1.39, respectively, whereas the remaining enzymes existed exclusively
as precursor form with a ratio of less than 1.18. Taken together, these results provide direct evidence for the functional
role of the C-terminal region in the autocatalytic processing of BlGGT. 相似文献

Summary Using a direct Monte Carlo simulation, population growth of helper T-cells (N
H) and viral cells (N
v) is studied for an immune response model with an enhanced spatial inter-cellular interaction relevant to HIV as a function
of viral mutation. In the absence of cellular mobility (P
mob=0), the helper T-cells grow nonmonotonically before reaching saturation and the viral population grows monotonically before
reaching a constant equilibrium. Cellular mobility (P
mob=1) enhances the viral growth and reduces the stimulative T-cell growth. Below a mutation threshold (P
c), the steady-state density of helper T-cell (p
H) is larger than that of the Virus (p
v); the density difference Δp
o(=pV−pH) remains a constant at P
mob=1 while −Δp
o→0 as P
mut→P
c at P
mob=0. Above the mutation threshold, the difference Δp
o in cell density, grows with ΔP=P
mut−P
c monotonically: ΔP
o ∞ (ΔP)β ≃ with β≈0.574±0.016 in absence of mobility, while Δp
o≈6(ΔP) with P

The biosorption equilibrium isotherms of Ni(II) onto marine brown algae Lobophora variegata, which was chemically-modified by CaCl2 were studied and modeled. To predict the biosorption isotherms and to determine the characteristic parameters for process
design, twenty-three one-, two-, three-, four- and five-parameter isotherm models were applied to experimental data. The interaction
among biosorbed molecules is attractive and biosorption is carried out on energetically different sites and is an endothermic
process. The five-parameter Fritz–Schluender model gives the most accurate fit with high regression coefficient, R
2 (0.9911–0.9975) and F-ratio (118.03–179.96), and low standard error, SE (0.0902–0.0.1556) and the residual or sum of square error, SSE (0.0012–0.1789)
values to all experimental data in comparison to other models. The biosorption isotherm models fitted the experimental data
in the order: Fritz–Schluender (five-parameter) > Freundlich (two-parameter) > Langmuir (two-parameter) > Khan (three-parameter) > Fritz–Schluender
(four-parameter). The thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG
0, ΔH
0 and ΔS
0 have been determined, which indicates the sorption of Ni(II) onto L. variegata was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. 相似文献

Direct cyclic voltammetry and 1H NMR spectroscopy have been combined to investigate the electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of cytochrome c
553 isolated from the alkaliphilic soil bacterium Bacillus pasteurii. A quasi-reversible diffusion-controlled redox process is exhibited by cytochrome c
553 at a pyrolitic graphite edge microelectrode. The temperature dependence of the reduction potential, measured using a non-isothermal
electrochemical cell, revealed a discontinuity at 308 K. The thermodynamic parameters determined in the low-temperature range
(275–308 K;ΔS°′=–162.7±1.2 J mol–1 K–1, ΔH°′=–53.0±0.5 kJ mol–1, ΔG°′=–4.5±0.1 kJ mol–1, E°′=+47.0±0.6 mV) indicate the presence of large enthalpic and entropic effects, leading, respectively, to stabilization and
destabilization of the reduced form of cytochrome c
553. Both effects are more accentuated in the high-temperature range (308–323 K;ΔS°′=–294.1±8.4 J mol–1 K–1, ΔH°′=–93.4±3.1 kJ mol–1, ΔG°′=–5.8±0.6 kJ mol–1, E°′=+60.3±5.8 mV), with the net result being a slight increase of the standard reduction potential. These thermodynamic parameters
are interpreted using the compensation theory of hydration of biopolymers as indicating the extrusion, upon reduction, of
water molecules from the hydration sphere of the cytochrome. The low-T and high-T conformers differ by the number of water molecules in the solvation sphere: in the high-T conformer, the number of water molecules extruded upon reduction increases, as compared to the low-T conformer. The ionic strength dependence of the reduction potential at 298 K, treated within the frame of extended Debye-Hückel
theory, yields values of E
°′
(I=0)
=–25.4±1.4 mV, z
red=–11.3, and z
ox=–10.3. The pH dependence of the reduction potential at 298 K shows a plateau in the pH range 7–10 and an increase at more
acidic pH, allowing the calculation of pK
O=5.5 and pK
R=5.7, together with the estimate of the reduction potentials of completely protonated (+71 mV) and deprotonated (+58 mV) forms
of cytochrome c
553. 1H NMR spectra of the oxidized paramagnetic cytochrome c
553 indicate the presence of a His-Met axial coordination of the low-spin (S=1/2) heme iron, which is maintained in the temperature interval 288–340 K at pH 7 and in the pH range 4.8–10.0 at 298 K.
The temperature dependence of the hyperfine-shifted signals shows both Curie-type and anti-Curie-type behavior, with marked
deviations from linearity, interpreted as indicating the presence of a fast equilibrium between the low-T and high-T conformers, having slightly different heme electronic structures resulting from the T-induced conformational change. Increasing the NaCl concentration in the range 0–0.2 M causes a slight change of the 1H NMR chemical shifts of the hyperfine-shifted signals, with no influence on their linewidth. The calculated lower limit value
of the apparent affinity constant for specific ion binding is estimated as 5.2±1.1 M–1. The pH dependence of the isotropically shifted 1H NMR signals of the oxidized cytochrome displays at least one ionization step with pK
O=5.7. The thermodynamic and spectroscopic data indicate a large solvent-derived entropic effect as the main cause for the
observed low reduction potential of B. pasteurii cytochrome c
553.

The paper contains the results of natural film experiments carried out on inland and coastal waters in the Dead Vistula catchment
area and mouth during 2000–2002, using the integrated Langmuir trough–Wilhelmy plate system. The static film parameters result
from the generalized scaling procedures applied to the surface pressure–area isotherms. They appear to reflect in a quantitative
and sensitive way the film composition (Alim, Mw, Eisoth), film solubility and the miscibility of its components (via R, ΔSc and y factors), and surface concentration (πeq, Γeq). The adsorption kinetics parameters: effective diffusion coefficient Deff/D and activation energy barrier Ea/RT are derived from dynamic surface pressure. There is a reason to suggest that certain classes of film-forming components or
‘end-members’ may dominate the static and dynamic surface properties. Variation in the surface rheological parameters of source-specific
biosurfactants is postulated to reflect organic matter dynamics in natural waters and were measured for the Dead Vistula river,
its tributaries and the adjacent coastal area. 相似文献

Photoinhibition has been often evaluated with leaf discs floated on water or placed on wet papers to prevent desiccation.
Under these conditions, there is a possibility that CO2 diffusion is blocked by water, which may lead to reduction in photosynthetic CO2 assimilation. Using Chenopodium album L. grown at two irradiances, photosynthesis, quantum yield of Photosystem II (ΔF/F
m′), non-photochemical quenching (qN), and photoinhibition were compared between detached leaves and leaf discs. In low-light-grown plants, photoinhibition was
greater in leaf discs than in detached leaves, while in high-light-grown plants, there was little difference. Leaf discs showed
lower rates of photosynthesis and ΔF/F
m′, and higher qN. The ΔF/F
m′ in leaf discs increased when leaf discs were exposed to high concentration of CO2, suggesting that CO2 diffusion to chloroplasts was limited in leaf discs floated on water.

Assessing photosynthetic efficiency in an experimental mangrove canopy using remote sensing and chlorophyll fluorescence 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

This study examined the ability of the photochemical reflectance index (PRI) to track changes in effective quantum yield (Δ
F/F
m
′), non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), and the xanthophyll cycle de-epoxidation (DPS) in an experimental mangrove canopy.
PRI was correlated with (Δ F/F
m
′) and NPQ over the 4-week measurement period and over the diurnal cycle. The normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI)
was not correlated with any aspect of photochemical efficiency measured using chlorophyll fluorescence or xanthophyll pigments.
This study demonstrated that photochemical adjustments were responsible for controlling the flow of energy through the photosynthetic
apparatus in this mangrove forest canopy rather than canopy structural or chlorophyll adjustments. 相似文献

To investigate how excess excitation energy is dissipated in a ribulose-1,5-bisphospate carboxylase/oxygenase activase antisense
transgenic rice with net photosynthetic rate (P
N) half of that of wild type parent, we measured the response curve of P
N to intercellular CO2 concentration (C
i), electron transport rate (ETR), quantum yield of open photosystem 2 (PS2) reaction centres under irradiation (Fv′/Fm′), efficiency of total PS2 centres (ΦPS2), photochemical (qP) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), post-irradiation transient increase in chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence (PITICF), and
P700+ re-reduction. Carboxylation efficiency dependence on C
i, ETR at saturation irradiance, and Fv′/Fm′, ΦPS2, and qP under the irradiation were significantly lower in the mutant. However, NPQ, energy-dependent quenching (qE), PITICF, and P700+ re-reduction were significantly higher in the mutant. Hence the mutant down-regulates linear ETR and stimulates cyclic electron
flow around PS1, which may generate the ΔpH to support NPQ and qE for dissipation of excess excitation energy. 相似文献

Summary The objectives of this research were to investigate the genetic parameters associated with the in vitro formation of somatic embryos in soybean and to determine the effect of light intensity on the embryogenic capability of F1, F2, and backcross (RC1P1 and RC1P2) progenies derived from crosses between embryogenic (IAS-5 and Embrapa-1) and non-embryogenic (Paraná) cultivars. Immature
cotyledons (4–6 mm in length) derived from the parental lines, F1, F2, RC1P1, and RC1P2 were grown for 90 d on the inductive N10 medium, after which the number of somatic embryos was recorded. Chi-square tests
for goodness of fit showed that the genetic component of the somatic embryogenesis trait is controlled in a quantitative manner
by approximately 10 genes. A normal distribution for somatic embryo formation in the F2 generations was observed reinforcing the quantitative nature of the trait. Variation in light intensity (8–12 and 27–33 μmol
m−2s−1) had no effect on somatic embryo formation in the parental material tested. 相似文献

In this work, fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with circular dichroism spectroscopy and molecular modeling was employed
to investigate the binding of 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) to human serum albumin (HSA) under simulative physiological conditions.
The experiment results showed that the fluorescence quenching of HSA by HCPT was a result of the formation of HCPT–HSA complex.
The corresponding association constants (K
a) between HCPT and HSA at four different temperatures were determined according to the modified Stern–Volmer equation. The
results of thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS indicated that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces played major roles for HCPT–HSA association. Site marker competitive
displacement experiment indicated that the binding of HCPT to HSA primarily took place in sub-domain IIA (site I). Molecular
docking study further confirmed the binding mode and the binding site obtained by fluorescence and site marker competitive
experiments. The conformational investigation showed that the presence of HCPT decreased the α-helical content of HSA and
induced the slight unfolding of the polypeptides of protein, which confirmed some micro-environmental and conformational changes
of HSA molecules. 相似文献

The majority of the Southern Ocean is a high-nutrient low-chlorophyll (HNLC) ecosystem. Localized increases in chlorophyll concentration measured in the wake of bathymetric features near South Georgia demonstrate variations in the factors governing the HNLC condition. We explore the possibility that the contrast between these areas of high-chlorophyll and surrounding HNLC areas is associated with variations in phytoplankton photophysiology. Total dissolvable iron concentrations, phytoplankton photophysiology and community structure were investigated in late April 2003 on a transect along the North Scotia Ridge (53–54°S) between the Falkland Islands and South Georgia (58–33°W). Total dissolvable iron concentrations suggested a benthic source of iron near South Georgia. Bulk community measurements of dark-adapted photochemical quantum efficiency (F
v/F
m) exhibited a sharp increase to the east of 46°W coincident with a decrease in the functional absorption cross-section (σPSII). Phytoplankton populations east of 46°W thus displayed no physiological symptoms of iron or nitrate stress. Contrasting low F
v/F
m west of 46°W could not be explained by variations in the macronutrients nitrate and silicic acid and may be the result of taxon specific variability in photophysiology or iron stress. We hypothesize that increased F
v/F
m resulted from local relief from iron-stress near South Georgia, east of Aurora Bank, an area previously speculated to be a “pulse point” source of iron. Our measurements provide one of the first direct physiological confirmations that iron stress is alleviated in phytoplankton populations near South Georgia. 相似文献

Sequence alignment has been an invaluable tool for finding homologous sequences. The significance of the homology found is
often quantified statistically by p-values. Theory for computing p-values exists for gapless alignments [Karlin, S., Altschul, S.F., 1990. Methods for assessing the statistical significance
of molecular sequence features by using general scoring schemes. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87, 2264–2268; Karlin, S., Dembo
A., 1992. Limit distributions of maximal segmental score among Markov-dependent partial sums. Adv. Appl. Probab. 24, 13–140],
but a full generalization to alignments with gaps is not yet complete. We present a unified statistical analysis of two common
sequence comparison algorithms: maximum-score (Smith-Waterman) alignments and their generalized probabilistic counterparts,
including maximum-likelihood alignments and hidden Markov models. The most important statistical characteristic of these algorithms
is the distribution function of the maximum score S
max, resp. the maximum free energy F
max, for mutually uncorrelated random sequences. This distribution is known empirically to be of the Gumbel form with an exponential
tail P(S
max > x) ∼ exp(−λx) for maximum-score alignment and P(F
max > x) ∼ exp(−λx) for some classes of probabilistic alignment. We derive an exact expression for λ for particular probabilistic alignments. This result is then used to obtain accurate λ values for generic probabilistic and maximum-score alignments. Although the result demonstrated uses a simple match-mismatch
scoring system, it is expected to be a good starting point for more general scoring functions. 相似文献

Simultaneous measurements of chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence and CO2 assimilation (A) in Vicia faba leaves were taken during the first weeks of growth to evaluate the protective effect of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) against
damage caused by the application of the herbicide terbutryn (Terb) at pre-emergence. V. faba seeds were incubated for 24 h in EBR solutions (2 × 10−6 or 2 × 10−5 mM) and immediately sown. Terb was applied at recommended doses (1.47 or 1.96 kg ha−1) at pre-emergence. The highest dose of Terb strongly decreased CO2 assimilation, the maximum quantum yield of PSII photochemistry in the dark-adapted state (F
V/F
M), the nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ), and the effective quantum yield (ΔF/F′M) during the first 3–4 weeks after plant emergence. Moreover, Terb increased the basal quantum yield of nonphotochemical processes
(F
0/F
M), the degree of reaction center closure (1 − q
p), and the fraction of light absorbed in PSII antennae that was dissipated via thermal energy dissipation in the antennae
(1 − F′V/F′M). The herbicide also significantly reduced plant growth at the end of the experiment as well as plant length, dry weight,
and number of leaves. The application of EBR to V. faba seeds before sowing strongly diminished the effect of Terb on fluorescence parameters and CO2 assimilation, which recovered 13 days after plant emergence and showed values similar to those of control plants. The protective
effect of EBR on CO2 assimilation was detected at a photosynthetic photon flux density (PFD) of 650 μmol m−2 s−1 and the effect on ΔF/F′M and photosynthetic electron transport (J) was detected under actinic lightings up to 1750 μmol m−2 s−1. The highest dose of EBR also counteracted the decrease in plant growth caused by Terb, and plants registered the same growth
values as controls. 相似文献

The analysis of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of binding of peptide and nonpeptide dimerization inhibitors of HIV protease
(HIVp) to the enzyme monomers immobilized on an optical chip has been studied by surface plasmon resonance. The molecular
interactions were investigated at different inhibitor concentrations (0–80 μM) and temperatures (15–35°C). Determination of
kinetic (k
on, k
off), equilibrium (K
d), and thermodynamic (ΔG, ΔH, and -TΔS) has shown that both inhibitors are characterized by similar interaction parameters and the entropic term (-TΔS) of about −20 kcal/mol is the main driving force for the HIVp complex formation with the inhibitors, while the positive value
(14 kcal/mol) of the enthalpic term (ΔH) counteracted the complex formation. 相似文献

Heteropolyoxometalate complexes have been widely applied in many fields. In this paper, the interaction between a series of
novel rare earth molybdotungstosilicate heteropolyoxometalates, K10H3[Ln(SiMo6W5O39)2]·xH2O (abbr. LnW5, Ln = Pr (x = 30), Gd (x = 29), Dy (x = 28), and Yb (x = 31)), and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by spectroscopic
approach under the physiological conditions. In the mechanism discussion, it was proved that the fluorescence quenching of
BSA by LnW5 is a result of the formation of LnW5–BSA complex. Fluorescence quenching constants were determined using the Stern–Volmer equation to provide a measure of the
binding affinity between LnW5 and BSA. The binding affinity ranked in the order GdW5 > DyW5 > PrW5 > YbW5. The results of thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS at different temperatures indicate that van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds play a major role for LnW5–BSA association. Furthermore, the distance r between donor (BSA) and acceptor (LnW5) was obtained according to fluorescence resonance energy transfer. 相似文献
