Energetic landscape of alpha-lytic protease optimizes longevity through kinetic stability.

During the evolution of proteins the pressure to optimize biological activity is moderated by a need for efficient folding. For most proteins, this is accomplished through spontaneous folding to a thermodynamically stable and active native state. However, in the extracellular bacterial alpha-lytic protease (alphaLP) these two processes have become decoupled. The native state of alphaLP is thermodynamically unstable, and when denatured, requires millennia (t1/2 approximately 1,800 years) to refold. Folding is made possible by an attached folding catalyst, the pro-region, which is degraded on completion of folding, leaving alphaLP trapped in its native state by a large kinetic unfolding barrier (t1/2 approximately 1.2 years). alphaLP faces two very different folding landscapes: one in the presence of the pro-region controlling folding, and one in its absence restricting unfolding. Here we demonstrate that this separation of folding and unfolding pathways has removed constraints placed on the folding of thermodynamically stable proteins, and allowed the evolution of a native state having markedly reduced dynamic fluctuations. This, in turn, has led to a significant extension of the functional lifetime of alphaLP by the optimal suppression of proteolytic sensitivity.     

Quantum Mechanics and Operational Probability Theory

We discuss a generalization of the standard notion of probability space and show that the emerging framework, to be called operational probability theory, can be considered as underlying quantal theories. The proposed framework makes special reference to the convex structure of states and to a family of observables which is wider than the familiar set of random variables: it appears as an alternative to the known algebraic approach to quantum probability.     

四角场S=2离子ZFS高阶微扰公式的收敛性

本文以~５Ｂ＿２为基态，在强场图象下用微扰理论推导出了轴向零场分裂参量Ｄ的１到４阶微扰计算公式（~５Ｄ近似），并就公式的微扰收敛性进行了系统的讨论．通过计算和分析表明，当第一激发态靠近基态使得其能量与旋轨耦合常数ζ可比拟时．微扰公式是发散的．这时，微扰近似方法将不再有效。但在大多数情况下，公式保持有较好的收敛性．同时，给出了使微扰松式有效的晶场参量Ｄ＿９、δ和μ的近似取值范围，为~５Ｄ近似公式的应用提供了有价值的参考。     

Comparative study of the karyotypes of two Egyptian species of bats,Taphozous perforatus andTaphozous nudiventris (Chiroptera: Mammalia)

A detailed karyotypic analysis of two Egyptian species of bats,Taphozous perforatus andTaphozous nudiventris, was made on the basis of conventional data and G-band patterns. No detectable karyotypic difference was found between the two species (2n=42, F.N. 64). By comparison of G-band patterns, some differences between the two species were seen in the corresponding autosomal pairs. These results are reported for the first time in Egypt.

THE TRANSFER BEHAVIOUR OF SOME CATIONS AT WATER／NITROBENZENE INTERFACE BY SEMIDIFFERENTIAL CYCLIC VOLTAMMETRY

The transfer of Sr~(2+) and Ba~(2+) ion, facilitated by 18-Crown-6 present in the aqueous phase, and of succinylcholine ion at w/nb interface were investigated by semi-differential cyclic voltammetry. A good polarographic curve of succinylcholine ion dissolved in water was obtained in the system of 0.01 mol/l LiCl (w)——0.01 mol/l TBATPB (nb). The peak current is directly proportional to the concentration of SC~(2+) ion. It can be used for the determination of SC and the detection limit is 1.05×10~(-5) mol/l.The apparent D~w and D~(nb) have been estimated. The transfer of Sr~(2+) and of Ba~(2+) at the interface are facilitated by 18-Crown-6 present in the aqueous phase and the peak current is directly proportional to the concentration of 18-Crown-6 in water. This method can be used for the determination of the complexing agent and for the stability constant of the complex formed in the aqueous phase.All the experimental results are in keeping with the theoretical.

本文采用X射线衍射分析方法,研究了影响C_(11)A_7·CaF_2稳定性的因素,结果表明C_(11)A_7·CaF_2在1450℃以内,能够稳定存在;Mgo,K_2O对C_(11)A_7·CaF_2稳定性没有影响;Na_2O、P_2O_5和CaO能与C_(11)A_7·CaF_2发生反应、分别生成少量NC_6A_3、Ca_5F(PO_4)_3和C_3A,但在硅酸盐水泥熟料的正常煅烧制度下,反应程度较低,对C_(11)A_7·CaF_2稳定性不大.熟料中铝酸盐相存在的形式,主要取决于氟在熟料中的分布,CaF_2掺量较低,温度超过1350℃,C_(11)A_7CaF_2消失,生成C_3A;CaG_2掺量较高时,温度高达1450℃,熟料中的铝酸盐相仍为C_(11)A_7·CaF_2,而不生成C_2A.     

科斯社会成本问题与政府管制的效率实现

科斯在其社会成本一文中提出经济行为具有相互性,并很好地将交易成本理论运用在经济行为中,通过交易成本为零的理想世界到交易成本为正的现实世界进行条件转换分析,提出了外在性存在的根源及解决途径主要包括自愿协商(市场)、企业、政府和法律四种;提出由市场解决不好的问题,不一定政府就解决的很好;提出应从社会净收益最大化的角度来看,关键在于避免较严重的损害的观点,即如何使损失最小化或使社会经济运行效率最大化。他的这些思想,使经济学家注意到了交易成本的各种后果,大大地提高了经济的解释力。为政府更有效地进行管制提供了理论支撑。
