A high-current electron beam ion trap as an on-line charge breeder for the high precision mass measurement TITAN experiment

The precision of atomic mass measurements in a Penning trap is directly proportional to the charge state q of the ion and, hence, can be increased by using highly charged ions (HCI). For this reason, charge breeding with an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) is employed at TRIUMF’s Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science (TITAN) on-line facility in Vancouver, Canada. By bombarding the injected and trapped singly charged ions with an intense beam of electrons, the charge state of the ions is rapidly increased inside the EBIT. To be compatible with the on-line requirements of short-lived isotopes, very high electron beam current densities are needed. The TITAN EBIT includes a 6 Tesla superconducting magnet and is designed to have electron beam currents and energies of up to 5 A and 60 keV, respectively. Once operational at full capacity, most species can be bred into a He-like configuration within tens of ms. Subsequently, the HCI are extracted, pass a Wien filter to reduce isobaric contamination, are cooled, and injected into a precision Penning trap for mass measurement. We will present the first results and current status of the TITAN EBIT, which has recently been moved to TRIUMF after assembly and commissioning at the Max-Planck-Institute (MPI) for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany.

Characteristics and production of thermostable α-amylase

Thermostable α-amylases have application in a variety of industrial processes and enzymes from a substantial number of thermophilic bacteria and fungi have been screened and characterized to varying degrees. The characteristics of these enzymes are summarized in this review. The genetics of α-amylase production inBacillus subtilis is reviewed and classical and recombinant DNA approaches to increasing α-amylase production are discussed.     

Enhanced selectivity for inhibition of analog-sensitive protein kinases through scaffold optimization

The ability to inhibit any protein kinase of interest with a small molecule is enabled by a combination of genetics and chemistry. Genetics is used to modify the active site of a single kinase to render it distinct from all naturally occurring kinases. Next, organic synthesis is used to develop a small molecule, which does not bind to wild-type kinases but is a potent inhibitor of the engineered kinase. This approach, termed chemical genetics, has been used to generate highly potent mutant kinase-specific inhibitors based on a pyrazolopyrimidine scaffold. Here, we asked if the selectivity of the resulting pyrazolopyrimidines could be improved, as they inhibit several wild-type kinases with low-micromolar IC₅₀ values. Our approach to improve the selectivity of allele-specific inhibitors was to explore a second kinase inhibitor scaffold. A series of 6,9-disubstituted purines was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for inhibitory activity against several kinases in vitro and in vivo. Several purines proved to be potent inhibitors against the analog-sensitive kinases and exhibited greater selectivity than the existing pyrazolopyrimidines.     

A method of identifying the blood contributor in mixture stains through detecting blood-specific mRNA polymorphism

In the past decades, messenger RNA (mRNA) biomarkers have been employed to identify the origin of body fluids in forensic medicine. We hypothesized that the polymorphism of mRNA could be applied to identify individuals in mixture samples composed of two body fluids. In this study, we selected five blood-specific mRNA biomarkers of venous blood (SPTB, CD3G, AMICA1, ANK1, and GYPA) that encompass 16 SNPs to identify the mixture contributor(s). Five specific gene markers for menstrual blood, semen, skin, saliva, and vaginal secretions were amplified and typed as body-fluid positive controls. We established the system of multiplex PCR and single base extension (SBE) reaction followed by CE. The amplicon size was between 90bp and 294bp. The peripheral blood specificity was examined against other human body fluids, including saliva, semen, skin, menstrual blood, and vaginal secretion. The 16 SNPs were peripheral blood specific and could be successfully typed in homemade mixtures which are composed of different body fluids with 1 ng peripheral blood mRNA added. This system showed a supersensitivity (1:100) in detecting the trace amount of peripheral blood mixed in other body fluids and a combined discrimination power (CDP) of 0.99929 in Chinese population. It was the first time to establish a method for identifying the blood donors and deconvoluting mixtures through detecting mRNA polymorphism with SNaPshot assay. This peripheral blood specific SNP typing system showed high sensitivity to the typing of blood source specific markers regardless of other body fluids in the mixture.

4种鹭的繁殖生态

1999-2001年对池鹭、牛背鹭、白鹭、夜鹭混群的迁入状况、繁殖行为、雏鸟生长等进行了观察研究。结果表明：鹭鸟数量逐年增多，种类由2种增加到4种，4种鹭鸟在筑巢、取食和生活习性等方面具有一定的种群协调性。4种鹭鸟的食物组成存在一定差异。夜鹭以蛙类和鱼类为主；白鹭以鱼类和甲壳类为主，另有蛙类和昆虫类；牛背鹭的食物主要由昆虫类和蛙类组成；池鹭以鱼类为主。幼鸟体重生长率与成体体型大小成负相关，比较分析4种鹭鸟体重增长曲线，以池鹭和牛背鹭生长较快。     

氦氖激光对棘孢小单孢菌诱变育种的研究

小单孢菌是具有巨大潜力的抗生素产生菌,可产生包括氨基甙类、大环内脂类、多肽类等多种抗生素。庆大霉素是氨基甙类第二代产品。在获得优质高产的氨基甙类抗生素产生菌的选育中,目前仍是以诱变为主。但是常规方法中都是对孢子及菌丝进行诱变,正突变率较低,不易筛选到产量增高的菌株,因而有必要进行改进。本实验采用氦氖激光辐照小单孢菌的原生质体,获得了提高产量的菌株,现将结果报道如下。
