Angular dependent NEXAFS study of the molecular orientation of PTCDA multilayers on Au （111） surface

The molecular orientation of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PTCDA) multilayers adsorbed on Au (111) surface has been investigated using angular dependent O K-edge near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. The significant angular dependence of important resonant structures (π* and σ*) reveals that PTCDA molecules adopt an ordered geometry on the substrate surface. The average tilt angle of the PTCDA molecular planes is 27°±10° from the Au (111) surface.     

Changes in physical features of Glacier No. 1 of the Tianshan Mountains in response to climate change

This study analyzes the changes in glacier zones and snow composition of Glacier No.1 in the Tianshan Mountains of China since 1961,and their possible relations with climate.It is found that precipitation dominated the snow composition and that air temperature and precipitation controlled the distribution of glacier zones,but interannual change in precipitation had a relatively large effect on glacier zones and snow composition during 1963–1981 (P10) and 1963–1989 (P11).However,during 1982–2007 (P20) and 19...     

Mineralogical and geochemical features of sulfide chimneys from the 49°39′E hydrothermal field on the Southwest Indian Ridge and their geological inferences

During January–May in 2007,the Chinese research cruise DY115-19 discovered an active hydrothermal field at 49°39′E/37°47′S on the ultraslow spreading Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR).This was also the first active hydrothermal field found along an ultraslow-spreading ridge.We analyzed mineralogical,textural and geochemical compositions of the sulfide chimneys obtained from the 49°39′E field.Chimney samples show a concentric mineral zone around the fluid channel.The mineral assemblages of the interiors consist ...     

不同生活习性下原核生物基因组大小与GC含量的关系研究

 对原核生物基因组的研究显示,基因组GC含量与基因组大小和氧气偏好性等因素存在着一定的相关性。为了探索基因组大小与GC含量的相关性是否受原核生物生活习性的影响,选取了有代表性的411种原核生物（包括古细菌与真细菌）,分别从最适生长温度、氧气偏好性、运动特性、水生特性和寄生特性等因素进行分析,发现基因组大小与GC含量的相关性确实受这些因素的影响,而寄生原核生物中显示出最好的相关性。     

使用Bayes方法识别股市变结构模型

为了使用边际似然函数进行模型变点的有效识别,通过使用变结构模型和Monte Carlo方法,对波动率模型中的变点进行了判断。通过对中国股票市场的波动性进行分析,识别出中国证券市场的4个变点。实证结果表明:中国股票市场从成立以来,一共经历了5个阶段,分别是1990年12月到1991年秋、1991年秋到1992年中、1992年中到1997年中、1997年中到2002年春、2002年春至今。研究发现,中国证券市场结构发生变化与股票市场价格波动无关,而与中国证券市场不断发展和完善息息相关。     

太原市公园土壤重金属污染研究

通过对太原市区5个代表性公园的土壤取样调查,测定土壤中Cd,As,Pb,Cr的含量,结果显示,研究区大部分土壤样品Cd,As,Cr,Pb含量低于土壤环境质量二级标准,但与太原市土壤背景值相比,Pb表现为强烈富集,Cr较强富集,As,Cd有一定的富集,说明这些地区土壤均已受到人为因素的影响。与国内其他城市比较,太原公园土壤Pb和Cr含量相当高;As含量较高;Cd含量处于中等水平。重金属Pb和Cr,Cd,As含量之间呈现不同程度的正相关,说明太原市公园土壤部分重金属来源相似。

Structure of the human histamine H1 receptor complex with doxepin

The biogenic amine histamine is an important pharmacological mediator involved in pathophysiological processes such as allergies and inflammations. Histamine H(1) receptor (H(1)R) antagonists are very effective drugs alleviating the symptoms of allergic reactions. Here we show the crystal structure of the H(1)R complex with doxepin, a first-generation H(1)R antagonist. Doxepin sits deep in the ligand-binding pocket and directly interacts with Trp?428(6.48), a highly conserved key residue in G-protein-coupled-receptor activation. This well-conserved pocket with mostly hydrophobic nature contributes to the low selectivity of the first-generation compounds. The pocket is associated with an anion-binding region occupied by a phosphate ion. Docking of various second-generation H(1)R antagonists reveals that the unique carboxyl group present in this class of compounds interacts with Lys?191(5.39) and/or Lys?179(ECL2), both of which form part of the anion-binding region. This region is not conserved in other aminergic receptors, demonstrating how minor differences in receptors lead to pronounced selectivity differences with small molecules. Our study sheds light on the molecular basis of H(1)R antagonist specificity against H(1)R.
