High speed fiber-based clock enhancement of NRZ data

A scheme for all-fiber clock enhancement of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data based on cross-phase modulation (XPM) effect in nonlinear fibers is proposed and demonstrated in simulation. The simulation results indicate that the clock-to-data ratio of NRZ signals at 64 Gb/s can be increased to 22.94 dB by using this scheme, and the pattern effect in clock enhanced signals is very weak. The ability of high speed operation up to 140 Gb/s of this scheme is also proved in our simulation.

金斑喙凤蝶成虫的交配和取食行为观察

１９９７年￣１９９９年在广西大瑶山对金斑喙凤蝶的成虫交配和取食行为进行观察，结果发现：雌雄成虫交配前快速相互追逐直飞高空达１０００ｍ￣１５００ｍ，然后突然双双俯冲而下；资本时雌雄生殖器相互对接，历时０．５ｈ￣３ｈ；交配后雌成虫取食蜜露，第７天开始产卵，第８天死亡；雄成虫交配后不取食，第５天死亡。     

Time‐Resolved Energetics of Photoprocesses in Prokaryotic Phytochrome‐Related Photoreceptors

Time‐resolved photoacoustics (PA) is uniquely able to explore the energy landscape of photoactive proteins and concomitantly detects light‐induced volumetric changes (ΔV) accompanying the formation and decay of transient species in a time window between ca. 20 ns and 5 μs. Here, we report PA measurements on diverse photochromic bilin‐binding photoreceptors of prokaryotic origin: (1) the chromophore‐binding GAF3 domain of the red (R)/green (G) switching cyanobacteriochrome 1393 (Slr1393g3) from Synechocystis; (2) the red/far red (R/FR) Synechocystis Cph1 phytochrome; (3) full‐length and truncated constructs of Xanthomonas campestris bacteriophytochrome (XccBphP), absorbing up to the NIR spectral region. In almost all cases, photoisomerization results in a large fraction of energy dissipated as heat (up to 90%) on the sub‐ns scale, reflecting the low photoisomerization quantum yield (<0.2). This “prompt” step is accompanied by a positive ΔV₁ = 5–12.5 mL mol^?1. Formation of the first intermediate is the sole process accessible to PA, with the notable exception of Slr1393g3‐G for which ΔV₁ = +4.5 mL mol^?1 is followed by a time‐resolved, energy‐conserving contraction ΔV₂ = ?11.4 mL mol^?1, τ₂ = 180 ns at 2.4°C. This peculiarity is possibly due to a larger solvent occupancy of the chromophore cavity for Slr1393g3‐G.     

Analysis of DNA complexes with small solutes by CE with LIF detection

In this article, we describe the analysis of aptamers for Hg²⁺ ions through CE with LIF (CE‐LIF) detection using 2% poly(ethylene oxide) solutions containing OliGreen (fluorophore). In the presence of an EOF, DNA strands migrating against the EOF were detected at the cathode end. Four DNA strands – T₃₃, T₅C₂₈, T₅C₅T₂₃, and T₁₅C₅T₁₃ – could not be separated through CE‐LIF in the absence of Hg²⁺. At 0.3 mM Hg²⁺, however, all four were partially separated within 20 min, with SDs of the migration times all being less than 2.5%. From the CE, fluorescence, and ellipticity data, we concluded that the conformations of these four DNA strands all changed from random‐coil to folded structures as a result of T–Hg²⁺–T bonding. In addition, we found that this CE approach provided different electropherograms patterns for T₇, T₁₅, and T₃₃ in the absence and presence of Hg²⁺, indicating various interactions of the DNA strands with Hg²⁺. Using this simple, high‐resolution CE approach, we also demonstrated that adenosine triphosphate has a stronger interaction with the adenosine triphosphate aptamer than with either the platelet‐derived growth factor aptamer or T₃₃. This CE approach holds great potential for screening aptamers for small solutes, studying the catalytic activity of DNAzymes, and evaluating the biological functions of microRNA.

A Mushroom P450-Monooxygenase Enables Regio- and Stereoselective Biocatalytic Synthesis of Epoxycyclohexenones

An epoxycyclohexenone (ECH) moiety occurs in natural products of both bacteria and ascomycete and basidiomycete fungi. While the enzymes for ECH formation in bacteria and ascomycetes have been identified and characterized, it remained obscure how this structure is biosynthesized in basidiomycetes. In this study, we i) identified a genetic locus responsible for panepoxydone biosynthesis in the basidiomycete mushroom Panus rudis and ii) biochemically characterized PanH, the cytochrome P450 enzyme catalyzing epoxide formation in this pathway. Using a PanH-producing yeast as a biocatalyst, we synthesized a small library of bioactive ECH compounds as a proof of concept. Furthermore, homology modeling, molecular dynamics simulation, and site directed mutation revealed the substrate specificity of PanH. Remarkably, PanH is unrelated to ECH-forming enzymes in bacteria and ascomycetes, suggesting that mushrooms evolved this biosynthetic capacity convergently and independently of other organisms.
