The influence of Pleurotus ostreatus inoculation on wood degradation and on fungal community structure was studied. The experiments were performed on an organically poor fly ash deposit covered with a 10 cm layer of beech wood chips inoculated with P. ostreatus isolate ZIM76. Compared to non-inoculated wood chips, inoculation increased the temperatures and relative humidities and, in the first 6 months, accelerated Klason lignin degradation by 9% and also, after 17 months, increased iron translocation into wood chips by 30%. After 6 months, PCR-DGGE showed 22-28 and 13-21 fungal taxa in non-inoculated and P. ostreatus-inoculated beech chips, respectively. The differences in number of taxa and in the fungal community structure (based on Dice coefficient) between non-inoculated and inoculated wood chips diminished with time. The results indicate that the naturally occurring processes of wood degradation are as efficient as those occurring in sites inoculated with P. ostreatus. 相似文献

A highly sensitive method for the separation and quantitative measurement of phospholipids containing primary amino groups, such as phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine, is described. The method involves a simple and quantitative derivative formation of the phospholipids containing amino groups to their u.v.-absorbing biphenylcarbonyl derivatives. These have molar extinction coefficients of about 23,000 at 268nm. The phospholipid derivatives are then separated and non-destructively determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The amino phospholipids containing vinyl ether bonds (plasmalogens) can be determined separately from the diacyl- and alkylacyl-amino phospholipids. The lower limit of detection by high-performance liquid-chromatographic analysis of the phospholipid derivatives is about 10-13pmol or 0.3-0.4ng of phospholipid P. The quantitative range of derivative formation and analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography of the phospholipids containing amino groups was shown to be 10-500nmol. The method was shown to be applicable to the analysis of phospholipids containing amino groups in tissue samples. 相似文献

Ioannidis estimated that most published research findings are false, but he did not indicate when, if at all, potentially false research results may be considered as acceptable to society. We combined our two previously published models to calculate the probability above which research findings may become acceptable. A new model indicates that the probability above which research results should be accepted depends on the expected payback from the research (the benefits) and the inadvertent consequences (the harms). This probability may dramatically change depending on our willingness to tolerate error in accepting false research findings. Our acceptance of research findings changes as a function of what we call "acceptable regret," i.e., our tolerance of making a wrong decision in accepting the research hypothesis. We illustrate our findings by providing a new framework for early stopping rules in clinical research (i.e., when should we accept early findings from a clinical trial indicating the benefits as true?). Obtaining absolute "truth" in research is impossible, and so society has to decide when less-than-perfect results may become acceptable. 相似文献

Binding of cystatin-type inhibitors to papain-like exopeptidases cannot be explained by the stefin B-papain complex. The crystal structure of human stefin A bound to an aminopeptidase, porcine cathepsin H, has been determined in monoclinic and orthorhombic crystal forms at 2.8A and 2.4A resolutions, respectively. The asymmetric unit of each form contains four complexes. The structures are similar to the stefin B-papain complex, but with a few distinct differences. On binding, the N-terminal residues of stefin A adopt the form of a hook, which pushes away cathepsin H mini-chain residues and distorts the structure of the short four residue insertion (Lys155A-Asp155D) unique to cathepsin H. Comparison with the structure of isolated cathepsin H shows that the rims of the cathepsin H structure are slightly displaced (up to 1A) from their position in the free enzyme. Furthermore, comparison with the stefin B-papain complex showed that molecules of stefin A bind about 0.8A deeper into the active site cleft of cathepsin H than stefin B into papain. The approach of stefin A to cathepsin H induces structural changes along the interaction surface of both molecules, whereas no such changes were observed in the stefin B-papain complex. Carboxymethylation of papain seems to have prevented the formation of the genuine binding geometry between a papain-like enzyme and a cystatin-type inhibitor as we observe it in the structure presented here. 相似文献

A strain of Klebsiella oxytoca, isolated from acid pyrite-mine drainage, characteristically produces a ferric hydrogel, consisting of branched heptasaccharide repeating units exopolysaccharide (EPS), with metal content of 36 wt%. The high content of iron in the EPS matrix cannot be explained by a simple ferric ion bond to the sugar skeleton. The bio-generated Fe-EPS is investigated by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Fe K-edge XANES analysis shows that iron is mostly in trivalent form, with a non-negligible amount of Fe(2+) in the structure. The Fe EXAFS results indicate that iron in the sample is in a mineralized form, prevalently in the form of nano-sized particles of iron oxides/hydroxides, most probably a mixture of different nano-crystalline forms. TEM shows that these nanoparticles are located in the interior of the EPS matrix, as in ferritin. The strain produces Fe-EPS to modulate Fe-ions uptake from the cytoplasm to avoid iron toxicity under anaerobic conditions. This microbial material is potentially applicable as iron regulator. 相似文献

In the presence of specific metal ions, DNA oligonucleotides containing guanine repeat sequences can adopt G-quadruplex structures. In this work, we used a combination of spectroscopic and calorimetric techniques to investigate the conformation and unfolding thermodynamics of the K+-form of five G-quadruplexes with sequences: d(G2T2G2TGTG2T2G2), G2, d(G3T2G3TGTG3T2G3), G3, their analogs where T is replaced with U, G2-U and G3-U, and r(G2U2G2UGUG2U2G2), rG2. These G-quadruplexes show CD spectra characteristic of the “chair” conformation (G2 and G2-U), or “basket” conformation (rG2); or a mixture of these two conformers (G3 and G3-U). Thermodynamic profiles show that the favorable folding of each G-quadruplex results from the typical compensation of a favorable enthalpy and unfavorable entropy contributions. G-quadruplex stability increase in the following order (in ΔG°20): rG2 (−1.3 kcal/mol) < G2 < G2-U <G3-U (chair) < G3 (chair) <G3-U (basket) < G3 (basket) (−8.6 kcal/mol), due to favorable enthalpy contribution from the stacking of G-quartets.We used ITC to determine thermodynamic binding profiles for the interaction of the minor groove ligands, netropsin and distamycin, with each G-quadruplex. Both ligands bind with high exothermic enthalpies (∼−10.8 kcal/mol), 1:1 stoichiometries, and weak affinities (∼8 × 104 M−1). The similarity of the binding thermodynamic profiles, together with the absence of induced Cotton effects, indicates a surface or outside binding mode. We speculate that the top and bottom surfaces of the G-quadruplex comprise the potential MGBL binding sites, where the ligand lies on the surface forming van der Waals interactions with the guanines of the G-quartets and loop nucleotides. 相似文献

Zinc pyrithione (1a), together with its analogues 1b–h and ruthenium pyrithione complex 2a, were synthesised and evaluated for the stability in biologically relevant media and anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity. Zinc pyrithione revealed potent in vitro inhibition of cathepsin L (IC50=1.88 ± 0.49 µM) and PLPro (IC50=0.50 ± 0.07 µM), enzymes involved in SARS-CoV-2 entry and replication, respectively, as well as antiviral entry and replication properties in an ex vivo system derived from primary human lung tissue. Zinc complexes 1b–h expressed comparable in vitro inhibition. On the contrary, ruthenium complex 2a and the ligand pyrithione a itself expressed poor inhibition in mentioned assays, indicating the importance of the selection of metal core and structure of metal complex for antiviral activity. Safe, effective, and preferably oral at-home therapeutics for COVID-19 are needed and as such zinc pyrithione, which is also commercially available, could be considered as a potential therapeutic agent against SARS-CoV-2. 相似文献

Copper(II) complexes with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diflunisal in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide or nitrogen donor heterocyclic ligands (pyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2′-bipyridine or 2,2′-bipyridylamine) have been synthesized and characterized. The deprotonated diflunisal ligands are coordinated to Cu(II) ion through carboxylato oxygen atoms. The crystal structures of [tetrakis(diflunisal)bis(N,N-dimethylformamide)dicopper(II)] 1 and [bis(diflunisal)bis(pyridine)copper(II)], 2 have been determined by X-ray crystallography and are the first reported crystal structures of diflunisal complexes. UV study of the interaction of the complexes with calf-thymus DNA (CT DNA) suggests binding of the complexes to CT DNA with the dinuclear [tetrakis(diflunisal)bis(N,N-dimethylformamide)dicopper(II)] compound exhibiting the highest binding constant, Kb. Intercalative binding mode may also be concluded using cyclic voltammetry and solution viscosity measurements of the complexes in the presence of CT DNA. Competitive studies with ethidium bromide (EB) indicate that the complexes can displace the DNA-bound EB suggesting competition with EB. Diflunisal and its complexes exhibit good binding propensity to human or bovine serum albumin protein showing relatively high binding constant values. 相似文献
