An Integrated Evolutionary Algorithm for Expensive Global Optimization

We propose an integrated algorithm named low dimensional simplex evolution extension (LDSEE) for expensive global optimization in which only a very limited number of function evaluations is allowed. The new algorithm accelerates an existing global optimization, low dimensional simplex evolution (LDSE), by using radial basis function (RBF) interpolation and tabu search. Different from other expensive global optimization methods, LDSEE integrates the RBF interpolation and tabu search with the LDSE algorithm rather than just calling existing global optimization algorithms as subroutines. As a result, it can keep a good balance between the model approximation and the global search. Meanwhile it is self-contained. It does not rely on other GO algorithms and is very easy to use. Numerical results show that it is a competitive alternative for expensive global optimization.

含铬或锰的新型固氮酶的纯化, 特性和结晶—棕色固氮菌突变种UW3中CrFe蛋白和MnFe蛋白的研究

以含MnSO4或Na2CrO4的无钼无氨的修改Burk’s培养基， 培养不能合成含钼固氮酶体系的棕色固氮菌 (Azotobacter vinelandii Lipmann) 突变种UW3， 发现在一定浓度范围内， MnSO4或Na2CrO4的加入有助于促进其生长。 菌体生长和C2H2还原活性曲线测定结果表明， 这种促进作用很可能是通过Mn或Cr取代Mo， 参与组装固氮酶中心原子簇， 从而影响固氮活性而实现的。 利用阴离子交换 (DEAE-52和Q-Sepharose FF) 和凝胶过滤 (Sephacryl S-200) 柱层析从两种菌体中纯化得到固氮酶组分Ⅰ蛋白 (分别命名为MnFe蛋白和CrFe蛋白)， 并对其进行了特性研究。 厌氧天然聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳 (PAGE) 和SDS-PAGE结果显示， 两种蛋白均为两种亚基组成的四聚体。 亚基可以与OP MoFe蛋白抗体发生免疫反应， 分子量分别略小于野生种OP MoFe蛋白的α和β亚基。 CrFe蛋白的C2H2还原活性， Ar下放氢活性和固氮活性分别相当于OP MoFe蛋白的36%， 38%和43%， 而MnFe蛋白活性相当于OP MoFe蛋白的50%左右， 并且两种蛋白与OP MoFe蛋白具有相似的固氮电子利用率。 对两种蛋白金属含量的测定证实其中分别含有Mn和Cr， 但仍存在少量Mo污染。 与OP MoFe蛋白相比，这两种蛋白圆二色谱的摩尔椭圆率 ([θ]) 除在450nm较接近外，在可见光区的其它波长处均显著降低。 与DT还原OP MoFe蛋白相似， CrFe蛋白和MnFe蛋白具有g≈4。3、3。7和2。0的特征EPR信号， 但各处信号强度比例不同。 在对污染Mo可能引起的信号进行校正后，CrFe蛋白的三个信号强度分别相当于DT还原OP MoFe蛋白的20%， 0%和10%， 而MnFe蛋白则分别相当于112%， 49%和65%。 上述结果表明， CrFe蛋白和MnFe蛋白与OP MoFe蛋白金属原子簇的主要差异很可能在于FeMco (M=Cr， Mn或Mo)的M种类， 而P-cluster结构和组成均未见大的差异。 利用气相扩散悬滴法对MnFe蛋白和CrFe蛋白结晶条件进行了筛选和初步优化， 确定了以Tris/Hepes， NaCl， MgCl2和PEG 8000为主要变量的沉淀剂体系， 寻找各组分对于晶体生长的最适浓度。 以此为基础探讨了应用气相扩散坐滴法和液-液扩散法对两种蛋白结晶条件的优化。 在一定条件下， 两种蛋白分别通过液-液扩散法获得了优质大单晶。 对从CrFe蛋白和MnFe蛋白制备物中培养出的蛋白质晶体的SDS-PAGE鉴定显示， 晶体由与OP MoFe蛋白相似的两种亚基组成。 通过 “神舟三号” 飞船搭载实验探讨了空间微重力对于厌氧蛋白质结晶的影响， 结果表明， 微重力有助于避免孪晶形成， 并具有长期培养后获得适于进行X-射线衍射分析的优质大单晶的潜在前景。 结合空间科学使固氮酶结构与功能研究得以发展， 这项工作是有意义并且可行的。

In vitro anti-HIV and -HSV activity and safety of sodium rutin sulfate as a microbicide candidate

Sodium rutin sulfate (SRS) is a sulfated rutin modified from the natural flavonol glycoside rutin. Here, we investigated its in vitro anti-HIV and -HSV activities and its cytotoxic profile. Fifty percent inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of SRS against HIV-1 X4 virus IIIB, HIV-1 R5 isolates Ada-M and Ba-L were 2.3 +/- 0.2, 4.5 +/- 2.0 and 8.5 +/- 3.8 mu M with a selectivity index (SI) of 563, 575 and 329, respectively. Its IC50 against primary R5 HIV-1 isolate from Yunnan province in China was 13.1 +/- 5.5 mu M, with a Sl of 197. In contrast, unsulfated rutin had no activity against any of the HIV-1 isolates tested. Further study indicated that SRS blocked viral entry and virus-cell fusion likely through interacting with the HIV- I envelope glycoprotein. SRS also demonstrated some activity against human herpes simplex virus (HSV) with an IC50 of 88.3 +/- 0.1 mu M and a Sl of 30. The 50% cytotoxicity concentration (CC50) of SRS was >3.0 mM, as determined in human genital ME 180, HeLa and primary human foreskin fibroblast cells. Minimum inhibitory concentration of SRS for vaginal lactobacilli was >3.0 mM. These results collectively indicate that SRS represents a novel candidate for anti-HIV-1/HSV microbicide development.

Development of a positive-negative selection procedure for gene targeting in fish cells

The gene targeting technique is a powerful tool for analyzing functions of cloned genes and for generating transgenic animals with site-directed integration of foreign genes. In order to develop this technique in fish, positive-negative selection (PNS) and homologous recombination vectors were constructed, and their expression was examined in fish cells. A vector (pNK) for PNS consists of the neomycin resistance gene (neo) as a positive selectable marker gene and the herpes simplex virus (HSV) thymidine kinase (tk) gene as a negative selectable marker gene. Positive selection with geneticin (G418) of epithelioma papulosum of carp (EPC) cells transfected with linearized pNK vector yielded 350 colonies, while double selection of transfected EPC cells with G418 and gancyclovir (Gc) resulted in nearly complete cell death, demonstrating that the PNS procedure is effective in fish cells. Homologous recombination vectors consist of the Xiphophorus melanoma receptor kinase (X mrk(Y)) gene as homologous sequence in addition to the neo and tk genes. Conditions for homologous recombination vector transfection and drug selection were established. After verification of the feasibility of expression of homologous recombination vectors in EPC cells, the first gene targeting experiments were attempted in the Xiphophorus melanoma cell line, PSM. Positive-negative selection of the targeting vector-transfectants led to a low enrichment in this particular cell line. The reasons for the low enrichment in PSM cells were discussed.

Mathematical symbols and computing methods in high dimensional biomimetic informatics and their applications

High dimensional biomimetic informatics (HDBI) is a novel theory of informatics developed in recent years. Its primary object of research is points in high dimensional Euclidean space, and its exploratory and resolving procedures are based on simple geometric computations. However, the mathematical descriptions and computing of geometric objects are inconvenient because of the characters of geometry. With the increase of the dimension and the multiformity of geometric objects, these descriptions are more complicated and prolix especially in high dimensional space. In this paper, we give some definitions and mathematical symbols, and discuss some symbolic computing methods in high dimensional space systematically from the viewpoint of HDBI. With these methods, some multi-variables problems in high dimensional space can be solved easily. Three detailed algorithms are presented as examples to show the efficiency of our symbolic computing methods: the algorithm for judging the center of a circle given three points on this circle, the algorithm for judging whether two points are on the same side of a hyperplane, and the algorithm for judging whether a point is in a simplex constructed by points in high dimensional space. Two experiments in blurred image restoration and uneven lighting image correction are presented for all these algorithms to show their good behaviors.
