Enzymatic incorporation of a new base pair into DNA and RNA extends the genetic alphabet.

A new Watson-Crick base pair, with a hydrogen bonding pattern different from that in the A.T and G.C base pairs, is incorporated into duplex DNA and RNA by DNA and RNA polymerases and expands the genetic alphabet from 4 to 6 letters. This expansion could lead to RNAs with greater diversity in functional groups and greater catalytic potential.

Fractal morphology, imaging and mass spectrometry of single aerosol particles in flight

The morphology of micrometre-size particulate matter is of critical importance in fields ranging from toxicology to climate science, yet these properties are surprisingly difficult to measure in the particles' native environment. Electron microscopy requires collection of particles on a substrate; visible light scattering provides insufficient resolution; and X-ray synchrotron studies have been limited to ensembles of particles. Here we demonstrate an in situ method for imaging individual sub-micrometre particles to nanometre resolution in their native environment, using intense, coherent X-ray pulses from the Linac Coherent Light Source free-electron laser. We introduced individual aerosol particles into the pulsed X-ray beam, which is sufficiently intense that diffraction from individual particles can be measured for morphological analysis. At the same time, ion fragments ejected from the beam were analysed using mass spectrometry, to determine the composition of single aerosol particles. Our results show the extent of internal dilation symmetry of individual soot particles subject to non-equilibrium aggregation, and the surprisingly large variability in their fractal dimensions. More broadly, our methods can be extended to resolve both static and dynamic morphology of general ensembles of disordered particles. Such general morphology has implications in topics such as solvent accessibilities in proteins, vibrational energy transfer by the hydrodynamic interaction of amino acids, and large-scale production of nanoscale structures by flame synthesis.     

以MDR1基因启动子为靶点的药物筛选模型的建立

通过构建以MDR1启动子为启动序列的荧光素酶报告基因载体,建立基于双荧光素酶报告基因系统的多药耐药抑制剂筛选模型。从HCT-8细胞中提取DNA并克隆含有MDR1基因启动子的序列。将该序列重组到荧光素酶报告基因载体pGL-3-Basic的启动区域中,从而构建报告基因载体pGL-MDR1。将pGL-MDR1和pRL-TK载体共转染到HCT-8和HCT-8/VCR细胞中,建立用于筛选多药耐药抑制剂的方法。通过调节不同载体的比例来优化转染效率。通过MDR1基因激活剂（热诱导）和抑制剂（EGCG）来验证该方法。通过直接测序法验证了pGL-MDR1含有MDR1基因启动子序列且没有出现碱基突变。在n（pGL-MDR1）∶n（pRL-TK）=5∶5时,转染效率最高并具有最高的荧光素酶活性。通过MDR1基因激活处理后表现为时间依赖性地激活MDR1基因的表达,而MDR1基因抑制剂的作用则相反。
