An important functional group,benzo[1,3]dioxole,of alkaloids induces the formation of the human telomeric DNA G-quadruplex

Over the past few decades, numerous molecules have been discovered or designed to interact efficiently and selectively with a peculiar DNA structure named G-quadruplex. Some of these molecules have been developed as anticancer agents. To aid the design of anticancer agents, the ability of alkaloids possessing Protoberberine and Benzophenanthridine groups to induce the formation of G-quadruplexes were studied using CD spectroscopy. By careful examination of their structures, we found that a benzo[1,3]dioxole group plays an important role in influencing their inductive properties. The more functional groups the alkaloids have, the stronger their G-quadruplex inductive ability.

文章世所希——晏殊之赋研究

北宋前期政坛、文坛领袖之一的晏殊常常仅被当作一个＂北宋倚声家之初祖＂的词人;其实晏殊残留下来的几篇赋体文章在铺陈、骈俪方面的艺术形式十分精美,颇具悠游富贵气象,鲜明具体的表现了北宋前期文坛学习李商隐骈文的情况。

龙须草稀酸预水解过程中糖类组分的溶出规律

研究了龙须草稀酸预水解过程中温度、时间、稀酸初始质量浓度与戊糖、己糖溶出率之间的关系.结果表明:高温有助于糖类组分的溶出;在不同温度下,戊糖和己糖的溶出率均随水解反应时间的延长而增大;戊糖、己糖的溶出率与预水解因子呈良好的函数关系;随着稀酸初始质量浓度的增大,戊糖和己糖的溶出率增加;拟合发现,戊糖、己糖的溶出率和稀酸初始质量浓度也存在着良好的函数关系.据此总结出了龙须草稀酸预水解过程中戊糖和己糖溶出规律的经验模型,经验证发现,该模型是准确的和有效的.

热处理对以Al2O3为绝缘层的并五苯薄膜晶体管性能的影响

采用阳极氧化法制备了Al_2O_3绝缘材料,并制备了以Al_2O_3为绝缘层的并五苯薄膜晶体管器件(OTFT)。Al_2O_3绝缘层经过10 min 350℃氢热处理后,OTFT迁移率比未经氢热处理的增大近20倍,且阈值电压降到了-7 V。Al_2O_3膜MIS结构电容—电压(C–V)特性的平带电压平移量数据表明,Al_2O_3膜经过热处理后,并五苯半导体与Al_2O_3绝缘体界面处以及绝缘体内缺陷态密度显著地降低,Al_2O_3绝缘层和并五苯半导体层之间的接触得到改善,这使得经热处理Al_2O_3膜的OTFT器件性能得到显著的改善。     

A second generation human haplotype map of over 3.1 million SNPs

We describe the Phase II HapMap, which characterizes over 3.1 million human single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyped in 270 individuals from four geographically diverse populations and includes 25-35% of common SNP variation in the populations surveyed. The map is estimated to capture untyped common variation with an average maximum r2 of between 0.9 and 0.96 depending on population. We demonstrate that the current generation of commercial genome-wide genotyping products captures common Phase II SNPs with an average maximum r2 of up to 0.8 in African and up to 0.95 in non-African populations, and that potential gains in power in association studies can be obtained through imputation. These data also reveal novel aspects of the structure of linkage disequilibrium. We show that 10-30% of pairs of individuals within a population share at least one region of extended genetic identity arising from recent ancestry and that up to 1% of all common variants are untaggable, primarily because they lie within recombination hotspots. We show that recombination rates vary systematically around genes and between genes of different function. Finally, we demonstrate increased differentiation at non-synonymous, compared to synonymous, SNPs, resulting from systematic differences in the strength or efficacy of natural selection between populations.     

Genome-wide detection and characterization of positive selection in human populations

With the advent of dense maps of human genetic variation, it is now possible to detect positive natural selection across the human genome. Here we report an analysis of over 3 million polymorphisms from the International HapMap Project Phase 2 (HapMap2). We used 'long-range haplotype' methods, which were developed to identify alleles segregating in a population that have undergone recent selection, and we also developed new methods that are based on cross-population comparisons to discover alleles that have swept to near-fixation within a population. The analysis reveals more than 300 strong candidate regions. Focusing on the strongest 22 regions, we develop a heuristic for scrutinizing these regions to identify candidate targets of selection. In a complementary analysis, we identify 26 non-synonymous, coding, single nucleotide polymorphisms showing regional evidence of positive selection. Examination of these candidates highlights three cases in which two genes in a common biological process have apparently undergone positive selection in the same population:LARGE and DMD, both related to infection by the Lassa virus, in West Africa;SLC24A5 and SLC45A2, both involved in skin pigmentation, in Europe; and EDAR and EDA2R, both involved in development of hair follicles, in Asia.
