油菜饼的黄酮成分研究

从油茶饼正丁醇提取物中分离到两个黄酮甙,经UV、~1H NMR、~(13)C NMR、EI-MS、FAB-MS等仪器分析,鉴定为山奈酚-3-O-葡萄吡喃糖基(6→1)鼠李吡喃糖甙(1)和山奈酚-3-O-葡萄吡喃糖基-[(2→1)葡萄吡喃糖基](6→1)鼠李吡喃糖甙(2)。正丁醇提取物以酸水解亦分离到山奈酚(4)。油茶饼正丁醇提取物中还分离到蔗糖,得率达2.3％。     

宁夏同心中新世铲齿象化石

本文记述了宁夏同心地区中中新世哺乳动物群中铲齿象化石——同心铲齿象 (Platybelodon tongxinensis) (原定为同心嵌齿象 (Gomphotherium tongxinensis). 通过与国内外已现的有关铲齿象对比,确认其与国内已发现的葛氏种关系最近,可能属同一枝系.同心种与葛氏种相比,是性质相对原始分布层位较低的我国第二个铲齿象种.文章初步讨论了其 M_3 的某些变异性状.并结合现有的其它标本初步阐述了铲齿象类下门齿的两种结构类型,原始型的同心层状结构和衍生型的齿质柱状结构.建议根据这两种结构仍将铲齿象类划分为 Platybelodontinae 和 Amebelodontinae.     

Structural investigation of the capsular polysaccharide produced by a novel Klebsiella serotype (SK1). Location of O-acetyl substituents using NMR and MS techniques

The capsular polysaccharide of Klebsiella SK1 was investigated by methylation analysis, Smith degradation, and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The oligosaccharides (P1 and P2) obtained by bacteriophage ΦSK1 degradation of the polymer were studied by methylation analysis, and 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy. The resulting data showed that the patent repeating unit is a branched pentasaccharide having a structure identical to the revised structure recently proposed for Klebsiella serotype K8 capsular polysaccharide.

The 2D-NMR data showed that one third of the glucuronic acid residues in the SK1 polymer are acetylated at O-2, O-3, or O-4. FABMS studies confirmed the presence of monoacetylated glucuronic acid residues. Thus, the relationship between the Klebsiella K8 and SK1 polymers is akin to that found for Klebsiella polysaccharides K30 and K33, which have been typed as serologically distinct yet their structures differ only in the degree of acetylation.     

竹红菌甲素敏化嘌呤和嘧啶碱的光氧化作用及其影响因素

本工作利用光吸收和高效液相色谱(HPLC)技术研究了甲素对DNA分子中四种碱基A、G、C和T光氧化的敏化作用,发现在反应体系的pH为9.0、甲素浓度为3×10~(-5)mol/L、光照40分钟时,G和T紫外吸收明显降低;HPLC分析发现甲素敏化的G光氧化体系比对照体系多出现一组分峰(滞留时间0.927分钟),该峰用475nm波长检测比260nm波长检测灵敏。根据反应机制推测是G环破裂产物。在反应条件固定时,甲素敏化G的光氧化作用受pH、光照时间及甲素浓度影响极大。单线态氧淬灭剂——叠氮钠浓度在40—110mmol/L可部分抑制甲素敏化G的光氧化作用,>110mmol/L时反应完全被阻断,提示甲素对G光氧化的敏化作用主要通过单线态氧(~1O_2)即Ⅱ型机制起作用。本文还讨论了G光氧化的可能途径。     

Preliminary crystallographic analysis of a proteolytically modified form of E. coli single stranded DNA binding protein

A proteolytically modified form of the Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA-Binding protein (SSB) has been crystallized from 15% saturated sodium citrate. Crystals as large as 1.0 mm x 0.3 mm x 0.2 mm were obtained and these diffract beyond 3A resolution. X-ray photographic analysis demonstrated a rhombohedral unit cell of space group R3 with an equivalent triple centered hexagonal unit cell having dimensions of a = b = 62.9A and c = 264.3A. These crystals were judged to be adequate for a three dimensional structure determination.     

Regulation of apolipoprotein E synthesis and mRNA by diet and hormones

Rats were fasted or fasted and refed simple purified diets so the effects of individual carbohydrates or fats could be studied. Freshly isolated hepatocytes from these animals were used to measure both apoE synthesis and mRNA levels so any changes in apoE synthesis that might occur without changes in its mRNA could be detected. Some of these experiments were done with both sexes. Both fasting and fasting and refeeding a 60% glucose fat-free diet significantly increased spoE synthesis. However, cyclic AMP is not likely to rapidly mediate the effect of fasting since dibutyryl cAMP slightly lowered (rather than increased) apoE synthesis and mRNA when injected into rats for 4.5 h. Dietary fat had no effect either in the absence of carbohydrate or when consumption of carbohydrate was constant in pair-fed rats. ApoE mRNA levels remained normal for 4 days in primary hepatocytes cultured in medium that had only amino acids as an energy source. Added hormones or fructose had no significant effect. Thus, only fasting and fasting and refeeding glucose were able to significantly change apoE synthesis or mRNA levels. Synthesis of apoE may be regulated to increase when apoE is secreted with very low density lipoprotein or when apoE in secreted high density lipoprotein is needed to acquire cholesteryl esters for the synthesis of bile salts and acids by liver.     

Reaction on alternating GC oligonucleotide templates

Summary The condensation reactions of activated nucleotides, ImpN or 2-MeImpN, with the selfcomplementary ribo-octanucleotide GCGCGCGC or with the partially self-complementary heptanucleotide GCGCGCG were studied. The templatedirected reaction of 2-meImpC with the heptamer yields the 3–5 octamer as the main product. All other reactions yield 2–5-linked octamers and pyrophosphates as major products. Surprisingly, 2-MeImpG facilitates the reaction of 2-MeImpC with the heptamer.Procedures for the analysis by gel electrophoresis of the oligomeric products obtained in reactions of this kind are described.
