代数结构与几何基础Ⅳ——仿射几何的公理体系

在公理化方法定义的几何中引进“平行”关系,然后把结合公理I;改成“平行公理”,我们就得到一种新的几何——仿射几何．本文将证明这种几何同构于某一体(域)上的n维仿射几何,若添加牍序公理,则这种几何同构于某一有序体(域)上的n维仿射几何,最后我们指出：三维仿射几何的结合公理、平行公理和顺序公理就是Hilben公理体系中的结合公理、平行公理和顺序公理。     

黑腔靶中超热电子特性研究

近几年来,在“神光”装置上进行了1.053μm激光与平面靶及一系列柱形黑腔靶相互作用实验。用一台多道滤波—荧光X光能谱仪(FFS)测得各种靶发射的超热X射线谱,由谱推导超热电子温度T_h和超热电子总能量E_h当照射靶单束激光能量E_(tar)为400～670J、脉宽τ=650～1150ps时,发现黑腔内明显存在两群服从Maxwell分布高能电子(T_h=35～45keV;T_(hh)=150～350kev),而且E_(he)占E_(tar)的份额为10％～12％。实验还表明:腔内的E_(he)与非线性过程特征量(SRS)有较好的线性关系,因此推断出腔内超热电子产生的主要机制是受激Raman散射。在相同照射条件下,黑腔靶产生的超热电子比平面靶严重。

Intermolecular packing and alignment in an ordered beta-hairpin antimicrobial peptide aggregate from 2D solid-state NMR

The aggregation and packing of a membrane-disruptive beta-hairpin antimicrobial peptide, protegrin-1 (PG-1), in the solid state are investigated to understand its oligomerization and hydrogen-bonding propensity. Incubation of PG-1 in phosphate buffer saline produced well-ordered nanometer-scale aggregates, as indicated by 13C and 15N NMR line widths, chemical shifts, and electron microscopy. Two-dimensional 13C and 1H spin diffusion experiments using C-terminus strand and N-terminus strand labeled peptides indicate that the beta-hairpin molecules in these ordered aggregates are oriented parallel to each other with like strands lining the intermolecular interface. In comparison, disordered and lyophilized peptide samples are randomly packed with both parallel and antiparallel alignments. The PG-1 aggregates show significant immobilization of the Phe ring near the beta-turn, further supporting the structural ordering. The intermolecular packing of PG-1 found in the solid state is consistent with its oligomerization in lipid bilayers. This solid-state aggregation approach may be useful for determining the quaternary structure of peptides in general and for gaining insights into the oligomerization of antimicrobial peptides in lipid bilayers in particular.     

X–H rotational-echo double-resonance NMR for torsion angle determination of peptides

C–H and N–H rotational-echo double-resonance (REDOR) NMR is developed for determining torsion angles in peptides. The distance between an X spin such as ¹³C or ¹⁵N and a proton is measured by evolving the proton magnetization under REDOR-recoupled X–H dipolar interaction. The proton of interest is selected through its directly bonded heteronuclear spin Y. The sidechain torsion angle χ₁ is extracted from a ¹³Cβ-detected Hβ–N distance, while the backbone torsion angle φ is extracted from an ¹⁵N-detected H^N–C^′ distance. The approach is demonstrated on three model peptides with known crystal structures to illustrate its utility.     

Sulfation of hesperetin,naringenin and apigenin by the human cytosolic sulfotransferases: a comprehensive analysis

Abstract

Previous studies have revealed sulfation as a major pathway for the metabolism of hesperetin, naringenin and apigenin. The current study was designed to identify the human cytosolic sulfotransferase (SULT) enzyme(s) capable of sulfating these flavonoid compounds. Of the thirteen human SULTs, six (1A1, 1A2, 1A3, 1B2, 1C4, 1E1) displayed significant sulfating activity toward hesperetin, five (1A1, 1A2, 1A3, 1B2, 1C4) displayed sulfating activity towards naringenin, and four (1A1, 1A2, 1A3, 1C4) showed sulfating activity towards apigenin. Of the four human organ specimens tested, liver and intestine cytosols displayed much higher hesperetin-, naringenin- and apigenin-sulfating activity than lung and kidney cytosols. Moreover, sulfation of hesperetin, naringenin and apigenin was shown to take place in HepG2 human hepatoma cells and Caco-2 human colon adenocarcinoma cells under cultured conditions. Taken together, these results provided a biochemical basis underlying the metabolism of hesperetin, naringenin and apigenin through sulfation in humans.

     

Proteomic analysis of mouse liver for the evaluation of effects of Scutellariae radix by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry

Scutellariae radix or Scutellaria baicalensis is a medicinal plant that contains major flavonoids such as baicalein, baicalin, wogonin and wogonosides. The present work describes the development of an approach using proteomic analysis of mouse liver to study the effects of prolonged exposure to substances present in chemically standardized Scutellariae radix extracts. Histopathological examination of the mouse liver was compared with the proteome data. The botanical extracts were prepared using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE). A method without isotope labeling was developed, using proteolytic digestion with one- and two-dimensional liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, and was used to characterize the extent of differential protein expression in mouse liver in response to external factors such as extracts from Scutellariae radix. From the histopathological examination and proteome data, significant changes in the mouse livers were not observed for the low-dose group. The Scutellariae radix extracts at high dose were observed to cause damage at the bile duct and expression change of a number of proteins including some involved in catabolism of triglyceride-rich particles, carbohydrate metabolism, regulators of cell signaling processes, and enzymes involved in biotransformation. Thus, proteomic analysis of liver samples from mice treated with botanical extracts is a promising approach to provide information on any potential toxicity effects of the extracts. The present method also provides another means for comparing proteomes in biological samples such as liver lysates from mice subjected to different treatments.     

Determination of Partial Molar Volumes of EPA and DHA Ethyl Esters in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

The use of supercritical fluids (SCFs) as solvents has been attracting widespread interest in the research and commercial applications. The study of partial molar volumes of solutes at infinite dilution in the near-critical region is of considerable fundamental importance, as these data reflects the interactions occurring between the solute and the solvent. Experimental measurements of partial molar volumes may be divided into two categories: direct and indirect methods. The direct methods…
