Discovery and demonstration of small circular DNA molecules derived from Chinese tomato yellow leaf curl virus

Tomato yetlow leaf curl viruses betong to Begomoviruses of geminiviruses. In this work, we first found and demonstrated that the small circular DNA molecules were derived from Chinese tomato yetlow leaf curl viruses (TYLCV-CHI). These small circular DNA molecules are about 1,3 kb, which are half the full-length of TYLCV-CHI DNA A. It was shown by sequence determination and analysis that there was unknown-origin sequence insertion in the middle of the small molecules. These sequences of unknown-origin were neither homologous to DNA A nor to DNA B, and were formed by recombination of virus DNA and plant DNA. Although various defective molecules contained different unknown-origin sequence insertion, all the molecules contained the intergenic region and part of the AC1 (Rep) gene. But they did not contain full ORF.     

Exploring biology with small organic molecules

Small organic molecules have proven to be invaluable tools for investigating biological systems, but there is still much to learn from their use. To discover and to use more effectively new chemical tools to understand biology, strategies are needed that allow us to systematically explore 'biological-activity space'. Such strategies involve analysing both protein binding of, and phenotypic responses to, small organic molecules. The mapping of biological-activity space using small molecules is akin to mapping the stars--uncharted territory is explored using a system of coordinates that describes where each new feature lies.     

小变形扩散-轧制生产蜂窝复合板中的助复剂

助复剂的选择与配制是小变形条件下采用扩散-轧制法生产复合钢一.为了开发一种适用于碳钢,并在低中温(＜850℃)条件下使用的助复剂,研制了一种以铜为基体元素,锌为主要合金元素,锰为主要添加元素,再加入少量的硅、锡、镍、微量的硼和稀土的助复剂,对其成分配比进行了设计并在冶炼过程中对钢板进行了涂镀.扫描电镜及轧制结果表明,助复剂与钢板接合处发生了原子之间的扩散,界面结合较好,助复剂厚度达到后续小变形轧制复合的要求.
