铽离子与RNA的荧光反应及RNA测定的研究

核糖核酸（ＲＮＡ）与稀土铽离子在ｐＨ５．０～６．５条件下能形成具有较强荧光的络合物,其激发峰在２８８ｎｍ处,发射峰为４９４ｎｍ及５４５ｎｍ处．ＲＮＡ在０．１～１０ｍｇ／Ｌ范围内与其荧光强度呈线性关系,其检出限为６．０×１０￣（－８）ｍｏｌ／Ｌ．腺苷酸,尿苷酸,胞苷酸对ＲＮＡ的干扰比较小,因此可在其存在下选择性地测定ＲＮＡ．     

Cell signaling and heat shock protein expression

Exposure of cells and organs to heat shock is associated with numerous changes in various cellular metabolic parameters and overexpression of proteins collectively known as heat shock proteins (HSP). In this communication we review the cell-signaling events that are altered in response to heat shock as they relate to the subsequent induction of HSP 70 kd (HSP-70) expression. We also review the mechanisms by which HSP-70 is involved in conferring cytoprotective effects. The possibility of altering HSP expression through manipulations of the cell-signal process has clinical importance.The opinions or assertions contained herein are the private views of the authors and are not to be construed as official or reflecting the views of the Department of the Army or Department of Defense.     

The role of context on alpha-helix stabilization: host-guest analysis in a mixed background peptide model.

The helix content of a series of peptides containing single substitutions of the 20 natural amino acids in a new designed host sequence, succinyl-YSEEEEKAKKAXAEEAEKKKK-NH2, has been determined using CD spectroscopy. This host is related to one previously studied, in which triple amino acid substitutions were introduced into a background of Glu-Lys blocks completely lacking alanine. The resulting free energies show that only Ala and Glu- prove to be helix stabilizing, while all other side chains are neutral or destabilizing. This agrees with results from studies of alanine-rich peptide modela, but not the previous Glu-Lys block oligomers in which Leu and Met also stabilize helix. The helix propensity scale derived from the previous block oligomers correlated well with the frequencies of occurrence of different side chains in helical sequences of proteins, whereas the values from the present series do not. The role of context in determining scales of helix propensity values is discussed, and the ability of algorithms designed to predict helix structure from sequence is compared.     

滇藏常绿杜鹃亚属的修订

常绿杜鹃亚属Subgenus Hymenanthes是由K.Koch（1872）根据Blume（1826）建立的Genus Hymenanthes改级组合而成。但长期以来人们一直沿用了Maximowicz（1870）所建立的、后由Koehne（1893）修订过的Subgenus Eurhododendron这一亚属名称,直到最近D.F.Chamberlain（1978,1979,1982）对该亚属的名称才作了正式订正。     

Production of Ethanol from d-Xylose by Using d-Xylose Isomerase and Yeasts

d-Xylulose, an intermediate of d-xylose catabolism, was observed to be fermentable to ethanol and carbon dioxide in a yield of greater than 80% by yeasts (including industrial bakers' yeast) under fermentative conditions. This conversion appears to be carried out by many yeasts known for d-glucose fermentation. In some yeasts, xylitol, in addition to ethanol, was produced from d-xylulose. Fermenting yeasts are also able to produce ethanol from d-xylose when d-xylose isomerizing enzyme is present. The results indicate that ethanol could be produced from d-xylose in a yield of greater than 80% by a two-step process. First, d-xylose is converted to d-xylulose by xylose isomerase. d-Xylulose is then fermented to ethanol by yeasts.     

寡聚脱氧核苷酸d(G-C)_3的激光喇曼谱及其分析

用改进的固相磷酰三酯法合成了oligo-d(G-C)_3。以氩离子激光为激发光源,波长488nm.,在室温条件下,分别测定了纯化后的oligo-d(G-C)_3和其组分单体5’-dGMP和5’-dCMP的激光喇曼谱。观察到被测定的物质在300-2500cm~(-1)频率区间,各自都有其特征的谱形和喇曼峰。5’-dGMP和5’-dCMP谱中大多数特征峰在寡聚体的谱中消失,而在oligo-d(G-C)_3谱中出现了几处新的喇曼峰。经查证,峰832,851和899cm~(-1)系糖-磷酸主链的特征喇曼峰,另外几处峰与DNA的构象有关。实验结果表明oligo-d(G-C)_3在水溶液中(室温)主要以B-构象存在。
