原子力显微镜在分子细胞生物学研究中的应用

 1986年秉霖(G.Binning)等在扫描隧道显微镜的基础上发明了原子力显微镜(Atomicforcemicro-scope,AFM)。这种显微镜的放大倍数远远超过以往的任何显微镜,可以直接观察物质的分子和原子组成,这为微观世界的探索提供了理想的工具。AFM不仅可以以高分辨率表征样品表面形貌,分析研究与作用力相对应的各种表面性质,并可对样品的分子或原子进行纳米级力加工,也能对活的生命样品进行实时动态观测。这些特性使AFM在生命科学特别是在分子细胞生物学的研究中占据着独特的地位。一、AFM对细胞表面结构的研究AFM的样品制备简单,只需作一个渗涂片并在空气中干燥,且不需特殊的染色和固定;它的     

蛋白质凝聚结晶和致病的动力学机制

这本书涉及了蛋白质在溶液中的相转变、自组装和聚集行为等问题。其主要目的是向跨学科的读者介绍这一领域的研究现状。书中主要讨论了蛋白质优质结晶的问题，指出其瓶颈在于晶体的成核。由于蛋白质的结构决定了它的功能，因此非常有必要培养出优质的晶体来确定其结构，其中遇到的主要挑战是确定具备最佳成核条件的溶液初始状态。     

Finding finer functions for partially characterized proteins by protein-protein interaction networks

Based on high-throughput data, numerous algorithms have been designed to find functions of novel proteins. However, the effectiveness of such algorithms is currently limited by some fundamental factors, including (1) the low a-priori probability of novel proteins participating in a detailed function; (2) the huge false data present in high-throughput datasets; (3) the incomplete data coverage of functional classes; (4) the abundant but heterogeneous negative samples for training the algorithms; and (5) the lack of detailed functional knowledge for training algorithms. Here, for partially characterized proteins, we suggest an approach to finding their finer functions based on protein interaction sub-networks or gene expression patterns, defined in function-specific subspaces. The proposed approach can lessen the above-mentioned problems by properly defining the prediction range and functionally filtering the noisy data, and thus can efficiently find proteins’ novel functions. For thousands of yeast and human proteins partially characterized, it is able to reliably find their finer functions (e.g., the translational functions) with more than 90% precision. The predicted finer functions are highly valuable both for guiding the follow-up wet-lab validation and for providing the necessary data for training algorithms to learn other proteins.     

和谐社会视野下对利益群体矛盾的认识与处理

随着市场经济体制的建立,我国社会利益群体分化日益明显,经济、政治、文化方面的矛盾日益突出。在构建和谐社会的视野下,研究和解决利益群体矛盾的对策,一是发展经济,缩小各利益群体之间的收入差距;二是健全利益表达机制,协调利益群体之间的关系;三是建立利益教育机制,淡化或消除利益冲突。     

Direct Observation of Non-covalent Complexes for Phosphorylated Flavonoid-protein Interaction by ESI

Diethyl flavon-7-yl phosphate was synthesized by modified Atheron-Todd reaction. The result of ESI shows that the phosphated flavonoids possess stronger binding affinities toward proteins such as myoglobin, insulin and lysozyme and are easier to form the non-covalent complexes with them.

基于几何不变量的蛋白质三维分子结构比对

为了解决蛋白质三维结构比对需要处理大量的旋转、平移变换，直接用动态规划将变得十分繁琐这一问题，在保留蛋白质空间结构属性特征的基础上，对蛋白质三维数据进行了预先的处理．通过计算蛋白质结构在旋转和平移下的几何不变量，将蛋白质的三维结构坐标变换为具有旋转、平移不变性的一维序列．进一步给出了“距离”以及“相似得分”的定义．在此基础上采用动态规划方法给出了新的蛋白质结构比对算法．对专家分类的蛋白质结构数据库进行测试，结果显示准确、快速．     

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）.
