Cloning,Expression and Sequence Analysis of A Luciferase Gene from the Chinese Firefly Pyrocoelia pygidialis

从一种来自中国日行性萤火虫(云南窗萤)发光器官mRNA中克隆、测序并表达了有功能的荧光素酶.云南窗萤荧光素酶的cDNA序列有1647个碱基,编码548个氨基酸残基.从推测得到的氨基酸序列的比对分析得出:云南窗萤的荧光素酶与来自Lampyris noctiluca,L.turkestanicus和Nyctophila cf.caucasica三种萤火虫的荧光素酶有97.8%的序列一致性.从推测得出的氨基酸序列进行系统发育分析,其结果表明:云南窗萤和Lampyris+Nyctophila聚在一起,与同属的发光强夜行性的萤火虫不形成的单系.云南窗萤荧光素酶在大肠杆菌中表达的条带大约70kDa,并且在有荧光素存在时发出黄绿色荧光.对荧光素酶的结构模拟和分析表明,云南窗萤荧光素酶基因的氨基端和羧基端结构域之间的裂沟处存在这5个多肽环,这正是从其他荧光素酶推测得到的催化荧光反应时的底物结合位点.云南窗萤和窗萤属的其他3种萤火虫的荧光素酶卡目比,有13个不同氨基酸位点,位于模拟分子结构的表面.对于这些多肽环、不刚氨基酸残基和晶体结构的进一步研究有利于解释日行和夜行性萤火虫荧光素酶的差异.

Differential Dynamic Microscopy: a High-Throughput Method for Characterizing the Motility of Microorganism

We present a fast, high-throughput method for characterizing the motility of microorganisms in 3D based on standard imaging microscopy. Instead of tracking individual cells, we analyse the spatio-temporal fluctuations of the intensity in the sample from time-lapse images and obtain the intermediate scattering function (ISF) of the system. We demonstrate our method on two different types of microorganisms: bacteria, both smooth swimming (run only) and wild type (run and tumble) Escherichia coli, and the bi-flagellate alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. We validate the methodology using computer simulations and particle tracking. From the ISF, we are able to extract (i) for E. coli: the swimming speed distribution, the fraction of motile cells and the diffusivity, and (ii) for C. reinhardtii: the swimming speed distribution, the amplitude and frequency of the oscillatory dynamics. In both cases, the motility parameters are averaged over \approx 10^4 cells and obtained in a few minutes.

Extreme sensitivity of graphene photoconductivity to environmental gases.

Graphene is a single layer of covalently bonded carbon atoms, which was discovered only 8 years ago and yet has already attracted intense research and commercial interest. Initial research focused on its remarkable electronic properties, such as the observation of massless Dirac fermions and the half-integer quantum Hall effect. Now graphene is finding application in touch-screen displays, as channels in high-frequency transistors and in graphene-based integrated circuits. The potential for using the unique properties of graphene in terahertz-frequency electronics is particularly exciting; however, initial experiments probing the terahertz-frequency response of graphene are only just emerging. Here we show that the photoconductivity of graphene at terahertz frequencies is dramatically altered by the adsorption of atmospheric gases, such as nitrogen and oxygen. Furthermore, we observe the signature of terahertz stimulated emission from gas-adsorbed graphene. Our findings highlight the importance of environmental conditions on the design and fabrication of high-speed, graphene-based devices.

Nanoengineering coaxial carbon nanotube-dual-polymer heterostructures.

We describe studies of new nanostructured materials consisting of carbon nanotubes wrapped in sequential coatings of two different semiconducting polymers, namely, poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and poly(9,9'-dioctylfluorene-co-benzothiadiazole) (F8BT). Using absorption spectroscopy and steady-state and ultrafast photoluminescence measurements, we demonstrate the role of the different layer structures in controlling energy levels and charge transfer in both solution and film samples. By varying the simple solution processing steps, we can control the ordering and proportions of the wrapping polymers in the solid state. The resulting novel coaxial structures open up a variety of new applications for nanotube blends and are particularly promising for implementation into organic photovoltaic devices. The carbon nanotube template can also be used to optimize both the electronic properties and morphology of polymer composites in a much more controlled fashion than achieved previously, offering a route to producing a new generation of polymer nanostructures.

ALGAL GROWTH POTENTIAL AND NUTRIENT LIMITATION IN SPRING IN THREE-GORGES RESERVOIR, CHINA

In China, especially in Three-Gorges Reservoir, our knowledge of the algal growth potential and nutrient limitation was still limited. In the spring of 2006, the water column ratios of total nitrogen/total phosphorus were investigated and algal bioassays performed to determine algal growth potential of waters and nutrient limitation of mainstream and Xiangxi Bay of Three-Gorges Reservoir. The results showed sampling sites in mainstream were co-limited by N and P or P-limited alone, and sites in Xiangxi Bay were N-limited alone. Fe likely played an important role in determining the appearance and disappearance of algal blooms of Three-Gorges Reservoir. Native algae, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and Cyclotella meneghiniana, had high growth potential in Three-Gorges Reservoir.

线性低密度聚乙烯的官能化及其结构和性能研究

本文利用辐照产生的过氧化物作为引发剂，以丙烯酸（AA）、甲基丙烯酸环氧丙酯（GMA）和马来酸酐（MAH）为接枝单体，研制了官能化线性低密度聚乙烯（LLDPE）。利用红外光谱（FT－IR）对接枝物进行了表征。线性低密度聚乙烯接枝丙烯酸在 1712 cm~(-1) 处的羰基吸收峰；线性低密度聚乙烯接枝甲基丙烯酸环氧丙酯在 1720 cm~(-1)和840、910cm~(-1) 处的羰基与环氧吸收峰；线性低密度聚乙烯接枝马来酸酐在 1788和 1712cm~(-1)处的酸酐和羰基吸收峰均证明单体已经接枝到线性低密度聚乙烯分子链上。采用化学滴定法测定了官能化线性低密度聚乙烯的接枝率，并提出了其接枝反应的机理。系统研究了单体浓度、预辐照剂量、反应时间、反应温度等对接枝率和熔体流动速率的影响。研究结果表明，在一定工艺条件下，可以得到高接枝率，无凝胶的官能化线性低密度聚乙烯。通过以接枝单体特征基团的吸收峰（AA 1712 cm~(-1)、GMA 1720 cm~(-1)）与内标峰（1738 cm~(-1)）的强度比为纵坐标，以化学滴定法测得的相应单体接枝率为横坐标，得到了用红外光谱法测定接枝率的标准曲线。利用它可以方便、快速、准确地得到某一未知官能化产物的接枝率。用DSC研究了LLDPE及LLDPE-g-AA的热学性能。发现LLDPE-g-AA的ΔH_m下降，结晶温度升高大约4 ℃。这是由于在非极性的线性低密度聚乙烯分了链中引入了极性基团，使聚乙烯分子链的规整性下降，结晶缺陷增多，晶体的完善下降，从而使接枝物的ΔH_m下降，结晶度变小。等温结晶的结果表明，接枝物结晶速率大于纯 LLDPE的结晶速率，并且随接枝率的增加结晶速率加快。说明接枝到 LLDPE 分了链上的AA分子起到了成核剂的作用，从而使接枝物结晶速度加快。利用SEM观察LLDPE-g-AA 的球晶大小，发现 LLDPE-g-AA 的球晶尺寸明显减小，这进一步证实了前面的结论。测定了极性液体在不同接枝率的 LLDPE-g-AA 膜表面的接触角。发现随着接枝率的增加，接触角显著下降。采用 Zisman 作图法和接触角与表面张力的相关关系式得到了不同接枝率LLDPE-g-AA 的临界表面张力。并利用测接触角的方法计算了 LLDPE/LLDPE-g-AA 共混物的表面能。结果表明，共混物表面能随LLDPE-g-AA含量的增加而增加。用毛细管流变仪研究了官能化线性低密度聚乙烯的流变性能。结果表明，在剪切应力大于2.5×10~4 Pa时，其表现粘度比纯 LLDPE的小，流动性明显提高，加工成型性能得到了改善，且其表观粘度随AA含量的增加而减小，这说明接枝到 LLDPE分子链上的 AA 分子起到了内润滑剂的作用。官能化线性低密度聚乙烯的力学性能测试结果表明，其拉伸强度、模量和断裂伸长率没有显著的变化，这对于实际应用有着非常重要的意义。将官能化线性低密度聚乙烯与金属铝进行复合，测定了其剥离强度。结果表明：由于引入了极性基团，其与铝复合的剥离强度大大提高。接枝率、粘合时间、粘合温度和压力等均会对剥离强度产生较大影响。利用SEM 和 XPS对剥离表面进行了研究，发现剥离的铝表面有一个新的Al_(2p)峰，并且其谱图变宽。剥离铝表面O_(1S)结合能与纯铝表面及剥离 LLDPE-g-AA 表面的O_(1S)结合能不同，说明其处于不同的环境中。上述结果证明 LLDPE-g-AA 与铝在界面处可能发生了反应，从而使其剥离强度大大提高。

利用GaAs基上InGaAs应变层制备有序排列的InAs量子点

在GaAs基In x Ga1-xAs( x =0.15)应变层上生长了InAs 量子点(QD)层,通过分析各层之间的应力状况和位错的演变过程,配合生长过程中对反射式高能电子衍射仪(RHEED)实时监测,并观察生长后的表面形貌,发现可以通过控制应变层厚度来控制应变层表面布纹结构的宽度,而且在应变层厚度低于位错增殖的临界厚度时布纹宽度较窄.如果同时控制QD层在刚刚出点,则QD主要沿着较窄的布纹结构排列,从而得到有序排列的QD.
