X射线激光器捕捉到蛋白质分子的超快动态

近日,美国威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校的生物物理学家、能源部下属SLAC国家加速器实验室部门负责人Marius Schmidt率领的国际研究团队,用X射线激光器以慢动作的形式展示了一个光敏性生物分子的快速动态。"人们能够在这一技术的基础上,以原子水平的空间分辨率和超快时间分辨率制作纳米世界的电影,"Schmidt说道。研究人员将PYP光敏黄蛋白(photoactive yellow protein)作为模式系统。PYP是一种蓝光     

新一代X射线激光器可用于观察分子构造

英国《新科学家》杂志日前刊载文章称，新一代X射线激光器能用于研究蛋白质和其他生物分子的构造和行为。新一代X射线激光器的能量将是现有设备的100亿倍，能使科学家观察到最微小最精妙的分子构造。利用这种技术可以破解复杂的蛋白质和完整的病毒结构，甚至可能获得DNA的三维图像。X射线激光器被称作自由电子激光器。与传统激光器不同，自由电子激光器并不是通过光照或电流刺激某种物质发射光子，而是使用粒子加速器让极小的电子云穿过磁铁组，这些磁铁把电子推来推去，直到电子释放出光脉冲。传统激光器的激光波长是由发射光子的物质本…     

关于自组凯尔文电桥的测量不确定度

凯尔文电桥是国内大学基础物理实验所开设的实验内容之一，且多为自组式．关于自组凯尔文电桥的测量精度与桥路参数精度之间的关系，有些实验教材已有推导，但尚未涉及与两低阻相邻电压接头间跨桥电阻的定量关系，不注意这一点，会给测量结果带来一定的误差．本文就实际中常用的等双臂凯尔文电桥从理论上定量地推出了这一关系，进而给出了跨桥电阻可忽略时的适当阻值．     

Dissociative Chemisorption of an H2（v,j） Molecule on Rigid Ni （100） Surface： Dependence on Surface Topologies and Initial Rovibrational States of the Molecules

The H2(v,j) Ni(100) collision system has been studied to understand the effects of the surface sites and initial rovibrational states of the molecule on molecule-surface interactions, by a quasiclassical molecular dynamic simulation method. Dissociative adsorption of an H2 molecule on the rigid Ni(100) surface is investigated at topologically different three sites of the surface. Interaction between the molecule and Ni surface was described by a London-Eyring-Polani-Sato (LEPS) potential. Dissociative chemisorption probabilities of the H2(v, j) molecule on various sites of the surface are presented as a function of the translation energies between 0.001-1.0eV. The probabilities obtained at each collision site have unique behaviour. At lower collision energies, indirect processes enhance the reactivity, effects of the rotational excitations and impact sites on the reactivity are more pronounced. The results are compared with the available studies. The physical mechanisms underlying the results and quantum effects are discussed.

分子和金表面相互作用的第一性原理研究

从第一性原理出发利用密度泛函理论研究了 4 ,4′ 二巯基联苯分子和金表面的相互作用 ,并利用了前线轨道理论和微扰理论定量地确定了该相互作用能常数. By using density functional theory, we have investigated the interaction between a thiol-phenyl molecule (4-4′-dimercaptodibenzene) and a gold surface. The frontier orbit theory and the perturbation theory are also employed to determine quantitatively the constant of interaction energy. The results show that the bonding between the sulfur atom and the gold atoms corresponds mainly to the covalent bond and some molecular orbits are extended over the molecule and gold cluster which certainly give channels...

Effect of Notoginsenoside-Rg1 on the Expression of Several Proteins in the Striatum of Rat Models with Parkinson＇s Disease

After establishing hemi-Parkinsonian rat models, the relationships between neuron death and the expression of several proteins, such as c-Fos, GFAP, GDNF, NF-κB and some cytokines were determined. Therapeutics experiments with notoginsenoside-Rg1 were carried out. The research results show that the expressions of GFAP, NF-Kκ and c-Fos will obviously increase in the lesion side of the striatum and the expression of GDNF will decrease, which implies that the signal transduction pathway may participate in the apoptosis in neurons. The levels of some cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β in the striatum of PD rat models increased compared to those of normal rats. The results of the therapeutics experiments show that notoginsenoside-Rg1 may repress the immune inflammation response and regulate the immune function through the neuro-immune molecular network. Therefore, notoginsenoside-Rg1 can be used as an effective drug for anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation, and can be used in the therapy of Parkinson＇s disease（PD）.
