Preparation and characterization of PSt-b-PHEMA metal hybrids

The block copolymer polystyrene-b-poly[2-(trimethylsilyloxy)ethylene methacrylate] (PSt-b-PTMSEMA) was synthesized using atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The hydrolysis of PSt-b-PTMSEMA led to the formation of an amphiphilic block copolymer, polystyrene-b-poly(2-hydroxylethyl methacrylate) (PSt-b-PHEMA), which was characterized by GPC and H-1-NMR. TEM showed that the PSt-b-PHEMA formed a micelle, which is PSt as the core and PHEMA as the shell. Under appropriate conditions, the nickel or cobalt ion cause chemical reactions in these micelles and could be reduced easily. ESCA analysis showed that before reduction the metal existed as a hydroxide; after reduction, the metal existed as an oxide, and the metal content of these materials on the surface is more than that on the surface of the copolymer metal ion. XRD analysis showed that the metal existed as a hydroxide before reduction and existed as a metal after reduction.

WATER-SOLUBLE AND AMPHIPHILIC POLYMERS .6. A STUDY ON THE SURFACE-COMPOSITION OF CAST FILMS OF PST/PMAA AND PEO-PST-PEO BLOCK POLYMERS BY XPS

Thin films of PSt/PMAA and PEO-PSt-PEO block polymers were deposited on a polystyrene substrate by solution adsorption (with or without solvent treatment), and the film surfaces were characterized by means of XPS. Direct solvent - casting of PEO-PSt-PEO from benzene solutions resulted in PSt-rich surfaces, whereas PMAA richer surfaces were obtained for PSt/PMAA films cast from DMF solutions. Moreover, solvent treatment after casting had profound effect on the film surface composition. Treatment with water markedly increased the surface concentration of polar PEO segments. In the case of PSt-PMAA block polymers, the PSt content on the surface increased in the order of water < ethanol < cyclohexane < petroleum ether, the last-named giving films with almost pure PSt surface. It is well worth noticing that the bulk composition had little to do with the surface composition for both PSt/PMAA and PEO-PSt-PEO block polymers within the composition range investigated when subsequent solvent treatment was applied.

Mineral Bridges of Nacre and Its Effects

Nacre, or mother-of-pearl, is a kind of composites of aragonite platelets sandwiched between organic materials. Its excellent mechanical properties are thought to stem from the micro architecture that is traditionally described as a "brick and mortar" arrangement. In this paper, a new microstructure, referred to as mineral bridge in the biomineralization, is directly observed in the organic matrix layers (mortar) of nacre. This is an indication that the organic matrix layer of nacre should be treated as a three-dimensional interface and the micro architecture of nacre ought to be considered as a "brick-bridge-mortar" structure rather than the traditional one. Experiments and analyses show that the mineral bridges not only improve the mechanical properties of the organic matrix layers but also play an important role in the pattern of the crack extension in nacre.

中国三种野生稻的遗传变异与保护生物学研究

稻属(OryzaL．)隶属禾本科(Poaceae)之稻族(OryzeaeDUmort.)，广布于全球热带与亚热带地区。目前认为该属约含20个野生种和2个栽培种，中国产4个种。亚洲栽培稻(O. sativaL．)是世界上最重要的粮食作物之一，而在中国则为第一粮食作物。在稻种基因库中，发掘野生稻中丰富的遗传多样性是解决当今人口与粮食矛盾的必由之路。因此，保护野生稻的遗传多样性举世瞩目。针对热带与亚热带地区的环境恶化而导致野生稻居群的大量绝灭与急剧萎缩的状况，制订有效的策略，最大限度地保护野生稻的遗传多样性已迫在眉睫。然而，目前对野生稻种内遗传多样性的知识十分贫乏，缺乏制订保护策略的科学基础。这一问题在中国尤为突出。本文基于1994-1995年对中国三种野生稻濒危状况的调查结果，利用等位酶分析对普通野生稻26个居群，药用野生稻8个居群和疣粒野生稻l7个居群进行了遗传多样性的研究，并重点对目前育种价值最大而濒危程度最高的普通野生稻从五个方面作了进一步的探讨。最后根据遗传多样性的研究结果讨论了它们的濒危原因，并提出了初步的保护策略。主要结果如下： 一．普通野生稻D．rufipogon Griff. 在中国的三种野生稻中，普通野生稻的遗传多样性水平最高(A=1.33，P= 0.227，Ho=0.033和He=_0.068)，遗传分化水平较低(Fst=0,310)。广西与广东的居群较其它地区的居群具有较丰富的遗传变异。因此，华南可能是中国普通野生稻的遗传多样性中心;云南现存的所有三个居群的遗传多样性水平偏低(A=1.10.p=0.148，Ho=0.007和He=0.079)，与该地区栽培稻丰富的遗传多样性形成鲜明对照，普通野生稻居群间的遗传一致度与地理距离无明显相关。 1．通过14个中央居群与5个边缘居群的对比研究表明了边缘居群的遗传结构明显不同于中央居群：其遗传多样性水平与遗传分化均低予中央居群，杂合子比中央居群更为不足。而且，从中央居群到边缘居群，位点的多态性逐渐丧失，遗传多样性水平递减，一些多态位点的等位基因频率逐渐地发生变化。 2. 通过7个受栽培稻基因渗入的居群与5个隔离较好居群的对比研究表明，被渗入居群虽然在形态上表现出复杂的变异式样，但遗传多样性水平并无相应的增高。栽培稻基因流对野生居群遗传结构的影响可能主要是遗传同化，即阻止其居群内与居群间的遗传分化。 3. 通过对2个低纬度居群与2个北缘居群两个生活史阶段的遗传多样性研究表明繁育系统是影响普通野生稻居群遗传结构的因素之一。在低纬度居群中种子阶段的遗传变异高于植株阶段，在高纬度居群中则相反。 4．通过对北缘居群(江西东乡)1980年，1985年和1994年的居群遗传结构的研究，发现该居群的遗传结构逐渐在发生变化，表现为遗传多样性水平不断下降，居群越来越偏移哈迪一温伯格平衡和杂合子变得越来越缺乏。 5．通过对一个典型的普通野生稻居群（元江居群）的居群内遗传结构的研究，表明遗传变异在3个亚居群间分布不均衡，基因型里聚集分布，使得亚居群间有一定的遗传分化。导致其居群遗传结构的亚划分的主要原因可能是有限的基因流(Nm=0.964Pst=0788，I=0.775)，且剧烈的遗传分化主要发生在海南与大陆间，有多达12个等位基因固定在两个地区的居群中：遗传分化也发生予地区内的居群间。 三. 疣粒野生稻0.meyeriana Baill.subsp.granulata Nees et Arn.ex Watt. 疣粒野生稻的遗传多样性水平(A=1.Ot5，p—0.0633，Ho- 0.022和He=O.O16)在三种野生稻中最低，但居群遗传分化却很高(FsT=0.859)。海南的遗传多样性水平与云南差别不大。剧烈的遗传分化不仅发生在海南与云南之间，而且还发生在地区内，甚至在很小地区内的居群阍。对每个地区来说，居群间的遗传一致度与地理距离明显相关，符合“隔离一距离”模型。该物种是克隆植物，遗传变异贫乏但居群遗传分化剧烈是这类植物的特征。 四. 对保护中国野生稻遗传资源的启示 中国的三种野生稻是居群水平上而非物种水平上的的濒危。人类的剧烈干拢和生境遭受破塥是导致它们濒危的主要原因。对普通野生稻和药用野生稻来说，人为的干扰导致了它们现存的居群变小且相互隔离，居群间的基因流受阻，遗传漂变的作用在小群体中显得尤为突出，并与严重的近交相交织，导致遗传多样性大量丧失，居群的遗传结构也进一步改变，从而产生真正遗传学上的濒危，甚至灭绝。对于普通野生稻的大多数居群来说，栽培稻频繁的基因流带来的遗传同化，也会直接或间接地引起濒危甚至消亡。 鉴于普通野生稻有69.0%的遗传多样性存在于居群内，收集种质资源时应在遗传变异丰富的居群中，特别在其遗传多样性中心的居群中取较多数量的个体，还应在不同的地理区域选择2～3个遗传变异丰富、彼此遗传差异大的居群作为代表，捕获存在于居群间的遗传变异。原位保护点的设置应优先考虑以下类型的居群：a．与栽培稻基因流隔离好的居群;b．边缘居群;c．严重受威胁的居群;原位保护区应在其遗传多样性中心设立，选择有数个相邻的较大居群。 鉴于药用野生稻有21.2%的遗传多样性存在于居群内，在收集种质资源时原则上应选择较多的居群，而在每个居群中取较少的个体。海南与大陆居群间的遗传差异较大，故两地的居群都必须收集;药用野生稻的居群通常较小，建议设立原位保护点即可。海南与大陆均须设立保护点，而且在每个地区内应保护尽可能多的居群。对地区间或地区内的居群间进行人工移植，促进基因流，对增强各居群的适应能力会有裨益。 鉴于仅有14.1%的遗传变异存在予疣粒野生稻的居群内，取样的原则是在云南和海南均取尽可能多的居群，而对每个居群取少数个体即可;该种的居群有时较大，其居群内往往有一定的遗传分化，故收集遗传资源时应按亚居群取样;建议在云南与海南各设置2～3个原位保护区，其中可优先考虑我国分布面积最大的云南思茅地区的居群。

杂交水稻威优64及其亲本叶绿体D1蛋白基因psbA的分子克隆与结构比较研究

水稻是我国及东南亚广大地区的主要粮食作物之一。已发现由叶绿体基因组编码的某些多肽与光合效率之间存在着密切的联系。但是，根据我们所掌握的资料，直至目前为止，还没有见到从分子水平上阐明高光效植物与低光效植物之间相互关系的研究报导。 本工作主要从编码D1蛋白的psbA基因着手研究。D1蛋白是光系统Ⅱ反应中心的组成之一,它是均三氮苯类(triazine)除草剂的结合受体。 实验采用无水法从杂交水稻威优64及其亲本V20A和测64的幼苗叶片中提联并纯化各自的ctDNA，然后用限制性内切酶BamHI、EcoRI、Hind III、PstⅠ分别进行切割消化。Southern吸印杂交结果表明，在水稻ctDNA2.2Kb的EcoRI限制片段上，编码着psbA基因的全序列。据此，我们用2.0-2.5 Kb范围的ctDNA的EcoR I酶切片段和pBR322质粒载体进行重组，并转化到E. coli HB101菌株中，构成水稻叶绿体DNA专一性基因文库。用分子杂交方法分别从三种水稻品种的专一性基因文库中调到了各自的psbA基因，它们的重组体质粒分别定名为pWsbA, pVsbA和ZsbA并构建了这三个基因的核酸内切酶图谱。结果发现，在本实验体检测的若干种核酸内切酶切割位点分布上，这三个基因并无差异，但同已发表的双子叶植物（豆，烟草等）比较，则有明显的不同。

ISOLATION AND PROPERTIES OF A BLOOD-COAGULATION FACTOR-X ACTIVATOR FROM THE VENOM OF KING COBRA (OPHIOPHAGUS HANNAH)

A specific blood coagulation factor X activator was purified from the venom of Ophiophagus hannah by gel filtration and two steps of FPLC Mono-Q column ion-exchange chromatography. It showed a single protein band both in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and alkaline polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The mol. wt was estimated to be 62,000 in non-reducing conditions and 64,500 in reducing conditions by SDS-PAGE. The isoelectric point was found to be pH 5.6. The enzyme had weak amidolytic activities toward CBS 65-25, but it showed no activities on S-2266, S-2302, thrombin substrate S-2238, plasmin substrate S-2251 or factor Xa substrate S-2222. It had no arginine esterase activity toward substrate benzoylarginine ethylester (BAEE). The enzyme activated factor X in vitro and the effect was absolutely Ca2+ dependent, with a Hill coefficient of 6.83. It could not activate prothrombin nor had any effect on fibrinogen and thus appeared to act specifically on factor X. The procoagulant activity of the enzyme was almost completely inhibited by serine protease inhibitors like PMSF, TPCK and soybean trypsin inhibitor; partially inhibited by L-cysteine. Metal chelator EDTA did not inhibit its procoagulant activity. These results suggest that the factor X activator from O. hannah venom is a serine protease.

AN ACTIVATOR OF BLOOD-COAGULATION FACTOR-X FROM THE VENOM OF BUNGARUS-FASCIATUS

A specific activator of blood coagulation factor X was purified from the venom of Bungarus fasciatus by gel filtration and by ion-exchange chromatography on a Mono-Q column (FPLC). It consisted of a single polypeptide chain, with a mel. wt of 70,000 in reducing and non-reducing conditions. The enzyme had an amidolytic activity towards the chromogenic substrates S-2266 and S-2302 but it did not hydrolyse S-2238, S2251 or S-2222, which are specific substrates for thrombin, plasmin and factor Xa, respectively. The enzyme activated factor X in vitro and the effect was Ca2+ dependent with a Hill coefficient of 7.9. As with physiological activators, the venom activator cleaves the heavy chain of factor X, producing the activated factor Xa alpha. The purified factor X activator from B. fasciatus venom did not activate prothrombin, nor did it cleave or clot purified fibrinogen. The amidolytic activity and the factor X activation activity of the factor X activator from B. fasciatus venom were readily inhibited by serine protease inhibitors such as diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP), phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), benzamidine and by soybean trypsin inhibitor but not by EDTA. These observations suggest that the factor X activator from B. fasciatus venom is a serine protease. It therefore differs from those of activators obtained from Vipera russelli and Bothrops atrox venoms, which are metalloproteinases.

菜花烙铁头蛇毒中一种具有激肤释放酶与纤维蛋白原溶酶活性的Jerdonase

通过DEAF Sephadex t-50阴离子交换、超细Sephadex 6100分子筛和反相高效液相CQ色谱层析，从菜花烙铁头蛇毒冻干粉中纯化出一种具有激肤释放酶活性和。纤维蛋白原溶酶活性的丝氨酸蛋白酶，命名为Jerdonase。在12 .5%胶浓度的SD6还原电泳条件下，该酶分子量大约为55 kD，在非还原电泳条件下，分子量大约为53 kD。此酶是一种糖蛋白，含有约35 .8%的中性糖。它的N末端氨基酸序列为IIGGDEENINEHPFLVALYDA，其序列和蛇毒中其他丝氨酸蛋白酶具有非常高的序列相似性。Jerdonase能够催化BAEE、 S-2238和S-2302的水解，其水解活性可被PMSF抑制，但是EDTA对此没有影响。Jerdonase能优先水解人纤维蛋白原的An链，同时伴随有微弱的B[3链水解活性。另外，此酶能够水解牛低分子量的激肤原，释放舒缓激肤。总之，所有的结果表明Jerdonase是一个具有多功能活性的蛇毒丝氨酸蛋白酶。

Jerdonase, a novel serine protease with kinin-releasing and fibrinogenolytic activity from Trimeresurus jerdonii venom

A novel kinin-releasing and fibrin (ogen)olytic enzyme termed jerdonase was purified to homogeneity from the venom of Trimeresurus jerdonii by DEAE Sephadex A-50 anion exchange, Sephadex G-100 (superfine) gel filtration and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Jerdonase migrated as a single band with an approximate molecular weight of 55 kD under the reduced conditions and 53 kD under the non-reduced conditions. The enzyme was a glycoprotein containing 35.8% neutral carbohydrate. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of jerdonase was determined to be IIGGDECNINEHPFLVALYDA, which showed high sequence identity to other snake venom serine proteases. Jerdonase catalyzed the hydrolysis of BAEE, S-2238 and S-2302, which was inhibited by phenymethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), but not affected by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Jerdonase preferentially cleaved the Aalpha-chain of human fibrinogen with lower activity towards Bbeta-chain. Moreover, the enzyme hydrolyzed bovine low-molecular-mass kininogen and releasing bradykinin. In conclusion, all results indicated that jerdonase was a multifunctional venom serine protease.
