用单分子技术研究Sso7d与DNA的相互作用

为了维持基因的稳定性,每种生物体都含有一套独特的染色质蛋白来保护脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)的结构,观察染色质蛋白对DNA结构的作用过程和结果,可以帮助人们了解这些蛋白的具体功能和作用机理.硫化叶菌是一种能在高温下存活的古细菌,Sso7d是硫化叶菌的一种染色质蛋白.深入地了解Sso7d和DNA链的相互作用,有助于解释硫化叶菌的DNA为何能在高温环境下保持活性,本文通过原子力显微镜(AFM)和磁镊两种单分子操作手段,研究了Sso7d与DNA的相互作用.AFM的实验结果给出了Sso7d与DNA的作用过程:结合Sso7d后,DNA首先发生弯折,然后出现loop结构,最终DNA会团聚为致密的核结构.利用磁镊装置测量了Sso7d的结合对打开DNA双链的影响,实验结果表明Sso7d的结合导致打开DNA双链的力的增大,经过数据分析,计算出Sso7d与DNA结合的结合能?G=3.1k_BT,平均每5.5个碱基对(bp)结合一个Sso7d,较高的结合密度和较大的结合能,两方面的作用结果,解释了Sso7d能够稳定DNA结构的原因.

Capillary electrophoretic studies on quantum dots and histidine appended peptides self‐assembly

Herein, we designed four peptides appended with different numbers of histidine (His_n‐peptide). We launched a systematic investigation on quantum dots (QDs) and His_n‐peptide self‐assembly in solution using fluorescence coupled CE (CE‐FL). The results indicated that CE‐FL was a powerful method to probe how ligands interaction on the surface of nanoparticles. The self‐assembly of QDs and peptide was determined by the numbers of histidine. We also observed that longer polyhistidine tags (n ≤ 6) could improve the self‐assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the formation and separation of QD‐peptide assembly were also studied by CE‐FL inside a capillary. The total time for the mixing, self‐assembly, separation, and detection was less than 10 min. Our method greatly expands the application of CE‐FL in QDs‐based biolabeling and bioanalysis.

Influence of Bi underlayer on the magnetic properties of Fe<Subscript>x</Subscript>Pt<Subscript>100-x</Subscript> (<Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">x</Emphasis> =<Emphasis Type="Bold">40</Emphasis>∼<Emphasis Type="Bold">58</Emphasis>) films

We have studied the effect of a Bi underlayer on ordering and coercivity H_c of Fe_xPt_100-x thin films (atomic content of Fe x=40∼58). We found that the Bi underlayer enhances H_c remarkably. After annealing at 400 °C for 20 min, a Bi/Fe₄₉Pt₅₁ film can realize an H_c as high as 1.07×10³ kA/m and a ratio of the remnant M_r to the saturated magnetization M_s as high as 0.93. The ordering process of FePt film was promoted by the diffusion of Bi atoms. Moreover, the Bi underlayer broadens the range of x for high H_c from 49∼55 to 43∼55. Interestingly, with Bi underlayer, the high H_c is affected by x to a less extent. PACS 75.50.Ss; 75.50.Vv; 75.60.Ej     

Cross‐Linked Aptamer–Lipid Micelles for Excellent Stability and Specificity in Target‐Cell Recognition

The specific binding ability of DNA–lipid micelles (DLMs) can be increased by the introduction of an aptamer. However, supramolecular micellar structures based on self‐assemblies of amphiphilic DLMs are expected to demonstrate low stability when interacting with cell membranes under certain conditions, which could lead to a reduction in selectivity for targeting cancer cells. We herein report a straightforward cross‐linking strategy that relies on a methacrylamide branch to link aptamer and lipid segments. By an efficient photoinduced polymerization process, covalently linked aptamer–lipid units help stabilize the micelle structure and enhance aptamer probe stability, further improving the targeting ability of the resulting nanoassembly. Besides the development of a facile cross‐linking method, this study clarifies the relationship between aptamer–lipid concentration and the corresponding binding ability.

Extraction Separation of BSA in Aqueous Two-Phase Systems of Anionic and Cationic Surfactant Mixtures

Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) are formed in mixtures of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), and sodium bromide (NaBr). Two different kinds of ATPS appear when CTAB and SDS surfactants are in excess, respectively. Such ATPS may provide a new, useful partitioning system for separation of bovine serum albumin (BSA). The partitioning of BSA was studied in these systems. The results show that the partitioning is affected by the electrical property, the hydrophobicity and the structure of liquid crystal (LC), which exists in the top phase of the ATPS. BSA is extracted into the top phase with higher distribution coefficient when LC and BSA are oppositely charged. The hydrophobicity of LC, which can be improved by increasing the length of alkyl group, enhances the distribution coefficient. The hydrophobicity of lamellar LC and hexagonal LC is stronger than that of cubic LC, which causes extractive capability of the former is higher than the latter.
