O-GlcNAcase抑制剂

O-连接的N-乙酰葡糖胺糖基化修饰 (O-GlcNAcylation) 是一种存在于蛋白质Ser/Thr上的翻译后修饰。与磷酸化相似,它参与细胞内的信号传递,并与神经退行性疾病、Ⅱ型糖尿病、癌症等许多疾病的发病机理密切相关。O-连接的N-乙酰葡糖胺水解酶 (O-GlcNAcase, OGA) 是生物体内唯一水解蛋白质O-GlcNAc修饰的糖苷酶。因此,研究高效、专一的OGA小分子抑制剂是调节细胞中蛋白质O-GlcNAc水平的有效策略,利于阿尔茨海默病等相关神经退行性疾病新型药物的开发。结合本实验室对OGA抑制剂的研究,本文介绍了OGA的结构、催化机理及目前OGA抑制剂的研究进展,讨论了各种抑制剂的构效关系,并对OGA抑制剂的研究前景进行了展望。

Device research on GaAs-based InAlAs/InGaAs metamorphic high electron mobility transistors grown by metal organic chemical vapour deposition

This paper applies a novel quad-layer resist and e-beam lithography technique to fabricate a GaAs-based InAlAs/InGaAs metamorphic high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) grown by metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). The gate length of the metamorphic HEMT was 150~nm, the maximum current density was 330~mA/mm, the maximum transconductance was 470~mS/mm, the threshold voltage was -0.6~V, and the maximum current gain cut-off frequency and maximum oscillation frequency were 102~GHz and 450~GHz, respectively. This is the first report on tri-termination devices whose frequency value is above 400~GHz in China. The excellent frequency performances promise the possibility of metamorphic HEMTs grown by MOCVD for millimetre-wave applications, and more outstanding device performances would be obtained after optimizing the material structure, the elaborate T-gate and other device processes further.

Internal cancellation of spikes using two avalanche photodiodes in series for single photon detection

<正>We propose a method of improving the performance of InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiodes by using two avalanche photodiodes in series as single photon detectors for 1550-nm wavelength.In this method,the raw single photon avalanche signals are not attenuated,thus a high signal-to-noise ratio can be obtained compared with the existing results.The performance of the scheme is investigated and the ratio of the dark count rate to the detection efficiency is obtained to be 1.3×10~(-4) at 213 K.     

Beam Parameters for End Diffraction of TE0 Mode of Planar Waveguide

The relation between diffractive beam parameters and normalized frequency is analyzed that leads to two improved Tormulas for two kinds of mode-field halT-widths and several formulas for divergence angle as well as beam propagation factor. The numerical calculation indicates that the maximal relative error is less than 0.5% within a reasonable parameter range.

The variational integrators of autonomous Birkhoff systems are obtained by the discrete variational principle. The geometric structure of the discrete autonomous Birkhoff system is formulated. The discretization of mathematical pendulum shows that the discrete variational method is as effective as symplectic scheme for the autonomous Birkhoff systems.     

Fabrication and characterization of ultra-low noise narrow and wide band Josephson parametric amplifiers

We have fabricated two types of lumped-element Josephson parameter amplifiers (JPAs) by using a multilayer micro-fabrication process involving wet etching of Al films. The first type is a narrow band JPA which shows typical gain above 14 dB in a bandwidth around 35 MHz. The second type is a wideband JPA which is coupled to an input 50 Ω transmission line via an impedance transformer that changes the impedance from about 15 Ω on the non-linear resonator side to 50 Ω on the input transmission line side. The wideband JPA could operate in a 200 MHz range with a gain higher than 14 dB. The amplifiers were used for superconducting qubit readout. The results showed that the signal to noise ratio and hence the readout fidelity were improved significantly.

提出了一种基于定向耦合效应和表面等离子共振效应的交叉敏感分离的磁场温度传感结构.在光子晶体光纤的一个特定空气孔中填充磁流体,利用磁流体的磁光效应和定向耦合效应形成磁场传感通道;在垂直方向的另一空气孔的内壁镀金纳米薄膜并填充甲苯液体,利用甲苯的温敏效应和表面等离子共振效应形成温度传感通道.对应输出谱出现两个损耗峰,测量损耗峰位置可以间接测出磁场强度和温度变化.通过理论计算()和结构优化,在90—270 Oe1 Oe=10~3/(4π) A/m范围内,磁场强度的灵敏度最高可达1.16 nm/Oe;在25—60?C范围内,温度的灵敏度可达-9.07 nm/?C.虽然填充的两种液体的折射率都受环境温度的影响,但通过建立灵敏度系数矩阵,可以消除磁场强度与温度的交叉敏感,实现磁场温度双参量的高灵敏度检测.
