The action of philanthotoxin-343 and photolabile analogues on locust (Schistocerca gregaria) muscle

The effects of philanthotoxin-343 (PhTX-343; tyrosyl-butanoyl-spermine) and photolabile analogues of this synthetic toxin on locust (Schistocerca gregaria) skeletal muscle have been investigated using whole muscle preparations (twitch contractions), single muscle fibres (excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs)) and muscle membrane patches containing single quisqualate-sensitive glutamate receptors (qGluR). Analogues containing an azido group attached to either the butanoyl side-chain of PhTX-343 or as a substitute for the hydroxyl moiety of the tyrosyl residue were about 6 fold more potent antagonists than PhTX-343; those with an azido group located at the distal end of the toxin molecule were generally 2–3 fold less potent than PhTX-343. When these compounds were tested in subdued light, they were reversible antagonists of the muscle twitch, EPSC and qGluR. When a muscle was irradiated with U.V. during application of photolabile toxin combined with either neural stimulation of the muscle orl-glutamate application, antagonism of the twitch, EPSC and qGluR was complete and irreversible.     

Review: Biocatalytic transformations of ferulic acid: An abundant aromatic natural product

In this review we examine the fascinating array of microbial and enzymatic transformations of ferulic acid. Ferulic acid is an extremely abundant, preformed phenolic aromatic chemical found widely in nature. Ferulic acid is viewed as a commodity scale, renewable chemical feedstock for biocatalytic conversion to other useful aromatic chemicals. Most attention is focused on bioconversions of ferulic acid itself. Topics covered include cinnamoyl side-chain cleavage; nonoxidative decarboxylation; mechanistic details of styrene formation; purification and characterization of ferulic acid decarboxylase; conversion of ferulic acid to vanillin;O-demethylation; and reduction reactions. Biotransformations of vinylgualacol are discussed, and selected biotransformations of vanillic acid including oxidative and nonoxidative decarboxylation are surveyed. Finally, enzymatic oxidative dimerization and polymerization reactions are reviewed.

二核苷酸重复多态性的非同位素检测及其在基因诊断中的应用

本文报道了一种检测二核苷酸重复多态性的简便的非同位素法,利用重复序列两侧的特异引物进行ＰＣＲ扩增,产生的等位片段在薄层变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳上分离,再用灵敏的银染法显色。该方法不需要标记ＰＣＲ产物,简便、快速,分辨率可达１ｂｐ,并可用多对引物同时进行多重ＰＣＲ分析。用此方法对ＤＭＤ家系成员ｄｙｓｔｒｏｐｈｉｎ基因的５＇－脑型外显子止游区和３＇－非翻译区的两个（ＣＡ）。位点进行了扩增片段长度多态性分

绞股蓝的林下栽培

近年来由于绞股蓝的过度采收,野生资源面临枯竭危险,为了扩大绞股蓝植物的资源,人工栽培势在必行。１９９０－１９９３年在皖东琅琊山进行林下人工栽培试验,结果表明,在粗放管理的条件下,林下种植绞股蓝是可行的,选择适合的种源及林分郁闭度是关键因子,在刺槐林下栽培产量可到３３００ｋｇ／ｈｍ＾２。
