The highly pure and active photosystem II (PSII) complex was isolated from Bangia fusco-purpurea (Dillw) Lyngb., an important economic red alga in China, through two steps of sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation and characterized by the room absorption and fluorescence emission spectra, DCIP (2,6-dichloroindophenol) reduction, and oxygen evolution rates. The PSII complex from B. fusco-purpurea had the characteristic absorption peaks of chlorophyll (Chl) a (436 and 676 nm) and typical fluorescence emission peak at 685 nm (Ex = 436 nm). Moreover, the acquired PSII complex displayed high oxygen evolution (139 mu mol O-2/(mg Chl h) in the presence of 2.5 mM 2,6-dimethybenzoqinone as an artificial acceptor and was active in photoreduction of DCIP (2,6-dichloroindophenol) by DPC (1,5-diphenylcarbazide) at 163 U/(mg Chl a h). SDS-PAGE also suggested that the purified PSII complex contained four intrinsic proteins (D1, D2, CP43, and CP47) and four extrinsic proteins (33-kD protein, 20-kD protein, cyt c-550, and 14-kD protein).

光合放氧研究近十年来已有重要进展,但在该领域仍有很多重要问题待研究。本论文工作主要是对光系统氧化侧与光合放氧密切相关的组分的结构和性能进行理论和模拟研究,工作可概括如下: (一)、放氧中心结构和性能的探索。 1、对放氧中心Mn202单元与配体组氨酸、H2O和Cl等结合方式的理论研究显示:(a)、组氨酸和H20分子均可能与Mn202平面垂直,彼此保持较大的距离,且结合在不同的Mn离子上;(b)、2个H2O分子可能结合在不同Mn202单元上。 2、对Mn簇核心骨架的理论研究显示有必要引入新的Ca、Cl结合方式,以防止因两个Mn202单元线性化而导致2个H2O分子结合位点远离。 (二)、次级电子给体Tyr_z和Tyr_D的结构与功能。 对次级电子给体Tyr_z和Tyr_D进行精确量子化学研究显示:(a)、在中性条件下,Tyr_D和Tyr_z均只与组氨酸通过氢键作用;(b)、当失去电子后,结构发生明显变化,导致正电荷主要集中在组氨酸上,自由基主要集中在Tyr上;(c)、第三组分(H_20分子或羧基等)的引入使中性体系不容易给出电子;(d)、结合最新文献报导,推测Tyr_D~+和Tyr_z~+除与组氨酸作用外还可能分别与水和羧基作用。 (三)、原初电子给体的理论和模拟研究。 1、对紫细菌原初电子给体P_(870)的理论研究显示:(a)、双分子结构比单分子结构稳定;(b)、电荷分离之后,原初电子给体原有的空间结构不再是稳定的构型,它会向能量和化学活性均更低的构型转变。在光合细菌的原初电子给体P870中,这种转变可通过C3位的乙酰基旋转使其氧原子与另一个细菌叶绿素分子的镁原子相互作用使P870+•的总能量和化学活性明显降低。推测这种构型转变对于防止原初反应过程中的电荷重组、维持光能的高效转化有重要意义。提出了原初反应过程中结构动态变化的新观点,利用这一观点可对光合细菌原初反应动力学研究所观测到的慢过程及蛋白质微环境对原初电子给体和原初反应都有重要影响等实验现象给予较好的解释。 2、对光系统II原初电子给体P680的结构进行理论探讨,提出了两个叶绿素a分子平面间夹角为50.0±2.5°时能量最低的夹角模型。 3、采用N-甲基咪唑(C4H6N2)模拟生物体内的组氨酸,通过观测CCL4中的Chla与C4H6N2反应的吸收、CD和MCD光谱得到以下结论:(a)、在纯CCL4中,每个Chla处于5配位状态,Chla形成不对称的双聚体,彼此之间存在较强的偶合作用。提出两个Chla通过不等价的2个Mg-O配位键(O分别来自于C131位的酮基和C17位酯基的C=O)连接为紧密双体结构;(b)、当C4H6N2/Chla = 0.5和1时,其吸收、CD和MCD光谱均发生明显变化,两个Chla之间的偶合作用明显减弱,但此时仍为双聚体。推测C4H6N2首先取代原紧密双体结构中Mg-O酯键,进而取代Mg-O酮键,最后两个Chla分子通过两个Mg…O弱相互作用连接为松弛的双体结构,该模型与理论获得的P_(680)的结构相似。 在上述研究的基础上,提出了包括放氧中心外围配体和TyrZ在内的放氧中心结构新模型。在新结构模型中,2个H2O分子不对称地结合于“C”形结构开口端两个低价的Mn1II和Mn4III上,并保持较大距离;两个组氨酸的咪唑环通过N原子与两个高价的Mn2IV、Mn3IV结合;Cl结合于MB4TM,并与Ca相连;Ca通过O桥和COO-相连使两个Mn202单元保持特定空间构型。TyrZ通过组氨酸(D1-His190)与Mn簇作用。此外,新模型尝试着在O桥上引入质子。放氧中心结构及其邻近环境(包括TyrZ和TyrD)整体处于中性状态。 同时还提出了新的放氧机理,认为电子和质子的释放非同步进行,并首次明确提出两个水分子的不对称氧化和结构动态变化等观点。认为Ca在维持放氧中心的结构方面担负重要作用,C1与Mn离子之间的亲核作用变化是放氧中心结构变化的关键。

Silica glass samples were implanted with 1.157 GeV Fe-56 and 1.755 GeV Xe-136 ions to fluences range from 1 x 10(11) to 3.8 x 10(12) ions/cm(2). Virgin and irradiated samples were investigated by ultraviolet (UV) absorption from 3 to 6.4 eV and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The UV absorption investigation reveals the presence of various color centers (E' center, non-bridging oxygen hole center (NBOHC) and ODC(II)) appearing in the irradiated samples. It is found that the concentration of all color centers increase with the increase of fluence and tend to saturation at high fluence. Furthermore the concentration of E' center and that of NBOHC is approximately equal and both scale better with the energy deposition through processes of electronic stopping, indicating that E' center and NBOHC are mainly produced simultaneously from the scission of strained Si-O-Si bond by electronic excitation effects in heavy ion irradiated silica glass. The PL measurement shows three emissions peaked at about 4.28 eV (alpha band), 3.2 eV (beta band) and 2.67 eV (gamma band) when excited at 5 eV. The intensities of alpha and gamma bands increase with the increase of fluence and tend to saturation at high fluence. The intensity of beta band is at its maximum in virgin silica glass and it is reduced on increasing the ions fluence. It is further confirmed that nuclear energy loss processes determine the production of alpha and gamma bands and electronic energy loss processes determine the bleaching of beta band in heavy ion irradiated silica glass.

  果实为开花植物所特有的发育器官,在种子的成熟和传播过程中发挥着重要作用。同时,肉质果实中含有丰富的营养物质,包括纤维素、维生素、抗氧化剂等,成为人们饮食的重要组成部分。由于果实的成熟衰老和抗病性直接影响果品的质量和市场价值,因此,研究果实成熟衰老和抗病性的调控机制具有重要的理论意义和应用前景。本文主要利用蛋白质组学的方法,探讨外源化学物质抑制果实成熟衰老和诱导抗病性的调控机制。 1. 硅对果实的抗病性诱导:用硅酸钠(1%)处理采后的甜樱桃果实,再接种褐腐病原菌(Molinilia fracticola),置于20C下,观测贮藏期间果实的发病率,并分析硅处理后诱导的主要蛋白质及调控机制。研究结果表明:硅酸钠处理可显著抑制贮藏期间褐腐病的发生,其抑病机理与硅诱导PR-蛋白的表达,提高果实的抗氧化水平,减轻由病原菌侵染造成的氧化胁迫相关。同时,硅处理还能保护细胞骨架结构,有利于增强果实对病原菌入侵的抵抗力。 2. 水杨酸对果实的抗病性诱导:用水杨酸(SA,2mM)在果园处理三种成熟度的甜樱桃果实,然后接种青霉病原菌(Penicillium expansum)观察其发病情况,并取样分析参与抗病性应答的主要蛋白质及调控机制。试验结果表明:SA处理能显著降低青霉病的发病率和抑制病斑扩展,而且SA对低成熟度甜樱桃果实的抗性诱导效果更好。在八成熟的果实中,有5个热激蛋白和4个脱氢酶蛋白被SA诱导,这些蛋白参与了糖酵解和三羧酸循环。抗氧化蛋白和PR蛋白主要参与较低成熟度果实的抗性应答,而热激蛋白和脱氢酶在较高成熟度果实的抗性应答中更明显,SA诱导的抗性与代谢途径相关。   3. 草酸对果实的抗性诱导:用5mM的草酸处理冬枣果实后,接种青霉菌(P. expansum),观察果实发病情况,测定果实相关的生理指标,分析参与果实抗性应答的主要蛋白质及调控机制。结果表明:草酸能明显延缓冬枣果实的衰老,提高果实对青霉菌的抗性。草酸处理能抑制果实乙烯的释放量和呼吸强度,延缓叶绿素的降解,减少乙醇积累。利用蛋白质组学的研究方法证实了在25个参与了草酸处理应答的蛋白中,胱硫醚-β-合酶结构域包含蛋白(CBB domain-containing protein)和3个与光合作用相关蛋白[二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶/加氧酶(Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activase, chloroplast precursor),二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶/加氧酶大亚基结合蛋白(RuBisCO large subunit-binding protein subunit beta, chloroplast precursor),植物光系统Ⅱ放氧复合蛋白2(PSII oxygen-evolving complex protein 2)]的表达量上调,乙醇脱氢酶的表达量出现下调。草酸处理还提高了与乙烯合成前体相关蛋白的表达,抑制了ACC合成酶的活性。草酸提高果实抗病的机制与延缓果实成熟衰老和保持果实抗性有关。 4. 果实衰老的调控机制:采用高氧(100%)和低氧(2-3%)处理苹果果实,观察果实衰老的进程,并基于蛋白质组学的研究方法,探讨苹果果实衰老与线粒体蛋白质组的关系。结果表明,在苹果衰老过程中有22个蛋白的表达量发生变化,这些蛋白主要参与了三羧酸循环,电子传递,碳代谢和胁迫应答。高氧处理能诱导氧化胁迫,加速了果实的衰老。质谱鉴定结果证明:在高氧胁迫下,超氧化物歧化酶(manganese superoxide dismutase,MnSOD)和线粒体外膜通道蛋白(porin) 的表达量降低,MnSOD的活性受到抑制,由此提高了线粒体中超氧阴离子的含量,增加了蛋白质的氧化损伤。 此外,高氧处理改变了porin的功能,导致了线粒体膜的透势发生变化,从而引起外膜损伤。由此阐明了活性氧在果实的成熟衰老调控中的重要作用。

以类囊体膜中唯一的阴离子型磷脂一磷脂酰甘油(PG)为研究对象,应用放氧测定和富立叶红外光谱等实验方法和技术手段,对PG与光系统II (PSII)之间的相互作用进行了研究。 研究表明,PG对PSII的放氧活性产生显著影响,具有明显的浓度效应。在低浓度(2~22 mg PG/mg Chl)时对PSII的放氧活性有明显的促进作用,而在高浓度(24~40 mg PG/mg Chl)下则表现出显著的抑制作用。 PG对PSII放氧活性的影响与其引起蛋白结构的改变密切相关。结果显示,PG的作用导致PSII颗粒中蛋白质二级结构的改变,主要表现为α-螺旋、β-折叠的增加和无规卷曲的减少。 不仅如此,红外光谱的分析还表明,PG还使蛋白酪氨酸残基中的酚基构象及其周围的微极性发生改变,即在红外光谱的1620—1500 cm-1,之间芳香环骨架的伸缩振动带向高频方向变化,其吸收强度也相应增加;在3500~3100 cm. -1间出现新的氢键吸收峰。 PG除能促进PSII的放氧活性以外,还对PSII表现出新的作用,即PG可以使PSII颗粒因缺钙而受抑制的放氧活性得到恢复;外加Ca2+可使PG表现出对缺钙PSII颗粒(dc。PSII)放氧活性的更大促进作用,且随Ca2+浓度的增加,促进作用也越显著。 PG的作用也使dc。PSII蛋白的结构发生了改变,导致蛋白二级结构中a-螺旋、p_折叠结构的增加和转角、无规卷曲成分的减少,即可使PSII颗粒因缺钙而改变的蛋白结构基本得到恢复。PG还能与Ca2+形成离子对似的配合物,而这种配合物的形成可以优化缺钙PSII颗粒的功能如放氧活性等。

光合水氧化是地球上最重要的生化过程之一。这个过程是在位于类囊体囊腔侧的放氧复合物中完成的。光系统II中的锰簇催化中心在四个连续的氧化还原反应作用下将水裂解为四个质子和氧气。水氧化的催化中心含有四个锰、一个钙离子、一至两个氯离子和一个具氧化还原活性的YZ(D1-Y161)。在光系统II的功能性组装过程中,氧合催化中心的形成是在一个被称作光组装的作用下完成的。光组装是无机锰、钙、氯离子与光系统II蛋白结合并在光驱动下氧化形成功能性放氧中心的过程。到目前为止,放氧复合物(OEC)的结构及水氧化的机理仍不清楚,光组装的研究工作对于阐明放氧复合物的结构与功能具有重要的理论和实际意义。 本论文研究了一系列具有不同配位环璄的锰化合物与去锰的PSII的光组装过程, 同时研究了稀土离子LaCl3和TbCl3及重金属离子Co2+和Ni2+对PSII 放氧活性及光组装的影响。主要结果如下: 1. 选择了咪唑氮配位的锰化合物和非咪唑氮配位的锰化合物与去锰的PSII 颗粒进行重组, 发现化合物中锰的配位结构与其恢复电子传递能力和放氧活性之间有一定关系。 研究结果表明,锰中心为锰-咪唑氮连接的化合物能够有效地恢复去锰PSII的电子传递能力和放氧活性;而非咪唑氮配位的锰化合物恢复电子传递和放氧活性的能力都相应较低甚至没有,由此推测,咪唑氮为放氧中心锰簇的一个配体。 2. 选择了两个不同价态的二核锰化合物和一个带氧桥的三核锰化合物与去锰的PSII 颗粒进行重组。 研究结果表明,三核锰化合物表现出比另外两个二核锰化合物更强的恢复放氧活性的能力,但其作为电子供体的能力比另外两个化合物要差。由此可推测,影响锰化合物恢复电子传递和放氧活性效率的因素是不同的。另外, 三核锰化合物在重组过程中对CaCl2非常敏感,我们推测锰化合物中的羧基与Ca2+之间存在相互作用,而这种作用有助于锰的配位进而促进光组装。三个化合物重组放氧复合物能力的大小顺序为:Mn3(III)锰化合物>Mn(III)Mn(III)锰化合物> Mn(III)Mn(IV)锰化合物。 3. 研究了LaCl3、 TbCl3 对光系统II放氧复合物光组装的影响。研究表明,在光组装过程中,两种稀土离子La3+和Tb3+对光系统II的光组装有很强的抑制作用,这种作用很大程度上依赖于Ca2+的存在,两种稀土离子在Ca2+结合位点是一个混合型竞争抑制剂。 另外,在10 mmol/L Ca2+存在时,抑制50%的光组装活性所需的稀土离子浓度比抑制50%功能性PSII的放氧活性所需的稀土离子浓度小约10倍,这对理解稀土离子对光合作用的影响具有重要的理论意义。 4.本文研究了Ni2+和Co2+两种金属离子对光系统II膜蛋白复合体结构与功能的影响。结果表明,毫摩尔级Ni2+和Co2+可以使完整的光系统II和去除17 kDa、23 kDa外周蛋白的光系统II的放氧活性被一定程度地抑制,而且对后者的抑制作用更强,在上述两种情况下,CaCl2可使抑制作用减轻。两种金属离子对给体侧的完整性有一定影响:5 mmol/L金属离子存在的时,可使17 kDa蛋白解离,10 mmol/L的金属离子存在时可使17 kDa、 23 kDa蛋白解离。两种金属离子在光组装过程中对Mn、Ca的组装无明显的影响。

本论文研究了一系列具有不同配位环璄的锰化合物与去锰的PSII的光组装过程,得到了以下主要结果: 1. 分别对两组二核锰化合物与去锰的PSII 颗粒进行了重组研究。第一组的两个二核锰化合物中,锰原子具有相同的外围配体、氧化还原状态,但是不同的连接方式;而第二组的两个二核锰化合物中,锰原子具有相同的连接方式、氧化还原状态,但是不同的外围配体。实验结果表明,锰化合物中两个锰原子之间的连接方式及外围配体的不同都可以导致锰簇光组装效率的不同,但这两种因素引起的光组装效率的差异比锰原子的氧化还原状态引起的差别要小的多。因此我们推断,锰原子的氧化还原状态是影响光组装效率最重要的因素之一。 2. 选择了三个四核锰化合物与去锰PSII 颗粒进行重组,测定其电子传递与放氧活性。研究结果表明,具有较少配体和较小分子的两个化合物H568和WM01具有较高的重组活性,而另一个化合物Z342的活性较低。这说明化合物配体的数目以及分子的大小影响了光组装效率。另外, 化合物H568和WM01在重组过程中对CaCl2也比Z342更敏感,推测这可能是因为这两个锰化合物中有更多的的羧基可以与Ca2+发生相互作用,而这种作用有助于锰的配位,进而促进光组装。 3. 研究了Mn/Ca的簇合物与去锰的PSII 颗粒的光重组, 研究发现,尽管化合物wwg-27本身就含有Ca的成分,但它在与光系统II的光组装过程中仍然表现为外源Ca需要的趋势,而且这一化合物也表现了比MnCl2更高的光组装效率。 4. 研究了MnCl2与去锰PSII 颗粒的重组过程中,组氨酸和酪氨酸的存在对光组装效率的影响。 研究结果表明,加入一定量的组氨酸和酪氨酸均可以明显的提高样品的放氧活性,并且这两种氨基酸对光组装效率的影响均与pH值有关。

本文主要研究了一系列具有不同配位环璄的锰化合物与去锰PSII颗粒的光组装过程;其次,应用太赫兹时域光谱技术对锰稳定蛋白PsbO蛋白的结构与功能进行了研究。主要结果如下: 1. 选择了一组单核、锰中心原子为二价、与羧基氧和氮配位的锰化合物与去锰光系统II颗粒进行了重组研究。研究结果表明,锰化合物中锰原子和氮原子的配位连接是影响电子传递恢复和放氧复合物重组效率的重要因素。锰化合物中锰原子与氮原子的配位,促进了锰原子与PSII脱辅基蛋白上的氨基酸残基进行光配位。33 kDa蛋白的加入显著提高光组装放氧活性,33 kDa蛋白的柔性构象有助于锰簇接受体积大的分子,并提高其稳定性,从而促进PSII反应中心锰簇的光组装。 2. 选择了一组拥有相同配体、锰中心原子价态不同的锰化合物与去锰PSII 颗粒进行重组。三个锰价态为+2,+3,+4价的锰化合物均表现出较高的恢复电子传递和放氧活性的能力,但锰与配体氧原子共价连接的锰化合物恢复电子传递和放氧活性的能力的很差,Mn-O连接阻碍WOC的重组。研究结果表明,锰化合物恢复电子传递活性和放氧活性的能力也受其中锰原子的价态及其它结构因素的影响。锰价态较低的锰化合物比锰价态较高的锰化合物更容易向PSII反应中心提供电子。锰化合物恢复电子传递和放氧活性的因素是不同的。锰化合物作为有效电子供体的效率与其螯合环数成反比,但配体的大小不是影响锰化合物重组放氧活性的主要因素。 3. 应用太赫兹时域光谱技术结合荧光光谱技术,研究了锰稳定蛋白PsbO在与金属离子作用及单个氨基酸被修饰后其构象变化和低频振动模的变化。实验结果显示,该蛋白上唯一的色氨酸对整个蛋白构象至关重要,它的改变引起整个蛋白分子低频振动模发生明显改变。此外,太赫兹时域光谱结果显示,PsbO可能含有钙结合位点。太赫兹时域光谱技术在研究蛋白构象变化,尤其是金属离子诱导的构象变化方面是相当灵敏的。

IrO2/SnO2 (10%:90%, molar ratio) electrodes (ITEs) were prepared by the sol-gel method as an alternative to the electrode-position and thermal decomposition process. The electrodes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscope (AFM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS). From the results of XRD, oxide films prepared at low temperature were in amorphous state, while hydrous IrO2 crystal and cassiterite phase SnO2 were formed at 300 degreesC or even to 500 degreesC. The highly porous structure was confirmed by AFM. The electrochemical experiments demonstrated that the sol-gel method made the ITEs having a fast electron transfer process with good stability and the optimal preparation temperature was 400 degreesC for the highest electroactivity. Furthermore, the electrocatalysis of pyrocatechol on the electrodes was investigated. A quasi-reversible process occurred and a linear range over three orders magnitude (1 x 10(-2) - 10 mM) was obtained by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Meanwhile the detection limit of pyrocatechol was 5 x 10(-3) mM. This study indicated that the sol-gel method was an appropriate route to prepare the IrO2/SnO2 electrodes for the electrocatalytic of pyrocatechol.

Antireflection coatings at the center wavelength of 1053 nm were prepared on BK7 glasses by electron-beam evaporation deposition (EBD) and ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD). Parts of the two kinds of samples were post-treated with oxygen plasma at the environment temperature after deposition. Absorption at 1064 nm was characterized based on surface thermal lensing (STL) technique. The laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) was measured by a 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser with a pulse width of 38 ps. Leica-DMRXE Microscope was applied to gain damage morphologies of samples. The results revealed that oxygen post-treatment could lower the absorption and increase the damage thresholds for both kinds of as-grown samples. However, the improving effects are not the same.

In this study we report on surface crystallization phenomena and propose a solution for the fabrication of long and robust tellurite glass fibers. The bulk tellurite glasses of interest were prepared by melting and quenching techniques. Tellurite glass preforms and fibers were fabricated by suction casting and rod-in-tube drawing methods, respectively. The surfaces of the tellurite bulk glass samples and of the drawn fibers prepared under different controlled atmospheres were examined by X-ray diffraction. When the tellurite glass fibers were drawn in ambient air containing water vapor, four primary kinds of small crystals were found to appear on the fiber surface, alpha-TeO(2), gamma-TeO(2), Zn(2)Te(3)O(8) and Na(2)Zn(3)(CO(3))(4)center dot 3H(2)O. A mechanism for this surface crystallization is proposed and a solution described, using an ultra-dry oxygen gas atmosphere to effectively prevent surface crystallization during fiber drawing.
