Biosynthesis of 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid: Steric course of the reaction at the C-4 position

Summary Under the action of the appropriate synthase from ripe tomatoes a 11 mixture of (3S, 4R)-[3,4-²H₂] and (3R, 4S)-[3,4-²H₂]-(2S)-adenosylmethionine is transformed into a 11 mixture of the two meso forms of [²H₂]-1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a result which proves the operation of an inversion mechanism and which is consistent with direct nucleophilic displacement of the leaving group in the substrate.     

Determination of erythrocyte pyrimidine 5′-nucleotidase activity by31P nuclear magnetic resonance: Comparison of normal controls and multiple sclerosis patients

Summary A technique to assay erythrocyte pyrimidine 5-nucleotidase activity in situ using³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is presented. The assay is chemically specific, simple and applicable to untreated lysates. A comparison of enzyme levels in normal controls and in multiple sclerosis patients employing the assay yielded no significant differences between both groups. Difficulties encountered in the quantitative analysis of the assay using¹H-NMR spectroscopy are briefly discussed.     

Bicuculline and picrotoxin block γ-aminobutryic acid-gated Cl− conductance by different mechanisms

Summary Using isolated, internally perfused bullfrog dorsal root ganglion cells we have studied the dose-response curves for -aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the presence of internally or externally applied GABA antagonists. With external application of antagonists the inhibition of the GABA current by bicuculline was competitive and that by picrotoxin was noncompetitive. Picrotoxin but not bicuculline blocked when internally perfused.To whom reprint requests should be addressed.Acknowledgments. We thank Drs S. Minakami and S. Yasui for helpful discussions and comments.     

Eicosapentaenoic acid in tissue lipids ofPieris brassicae

Summary Larvae of the cabbage white butterfly,Pieris brassicae, have a dietary requirement for linolenic acid (C183n3) and were found to accumulate two other members of the n-3 family, C203n3 and C205n3 (eicosapentaenoic acid) especially in testicular phospholipids. Arachidonic acid was observed in trace amounts only. During diapause the relative titer of eicosapentaenoic acid increased in testicular phospholipids to about 4.2% of the fatty acids. Eicosapentaenoic acid is a possible precursor of prostaglandins, suggesting that prostaglandins of the 3-series predominate in this insect.

以廉价的工业副产物醋酸及乳酸为碳源,对产PHB重组大肠杆菌进行培养,考察醋酸及乳酸的添加对重组大肠杆菌生长及PHB产量的影响。将来自Cupriavidusnecator的PHB合成操纵子phaCAB基因簇克隆至pBAD载体,得到产PHB菌株BL21＿pBAD＿phaCAB,以阿拉伯糖为诱导剂,在大肠杆菌中进行重组表达。分别使用LB及M9培养基,对重组菌株BL21＿pBAD＿phaCAB进行培养,研究其生长速度及PHB产量,探索产PHB重组大肠杆菌最适培养基。以添加0.04 g/L乳酸、1.2 g/L乳酸、0.02 g/L醋酸、0.6 g/L醋酸、0.04 g/L乳酸+0.02g/L醋酸、1.2g/L乳酸+0.4g/L醋酸的M9培养基(均含2 g/L葡萄糖)为实验组,以M9培养基(含2g/L葡萄糖)为对照组,考察醋酸及乳酸的添加对重组大肠杆菌生长及PHB产量的影响。分别取第6,12,24和36小时的培养液,分析其葡萄糖、醋酸及乳酸含量的变化。结果表明,低氮型M9培养基更适合产PHB重组大肠杆菌在低糖培养环境中生长。在葡萄糖消耗殆尽后,大肠杆菌能够以醋酸及乳酸为碳源进行代谢,因此在培养基中...     

NTA强化Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS体系降解橙黄G的效能与机制

针对二价铁/过一硫酸盐(Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS)体系存在近中性pH条件下氧化效能低的问题,采用氨基三乙酸(NTA)强化Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS体系降解橙黄G(OG),研究NTA/Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS体系中OG降解的效能和机制,考察NTA,Fe(Ⅱ),PMS等反应物浓度和溶液pH值对OG降解效能的影响.实验结果表明：当pH=6.5时,NTA可显著强化Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS体系的氧化效能,OG的去除率从11.7%提高到92.5%,NTA的加入提高了溶液中有效活化剂的浓度,促进PMS分解生成活性物质;NTA/Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS体系中主导的活性物质为Fe(Ⅳ)和SO^-₄·,二者对体系氧化效能的贡献分别为72.0%和28.0%;增加NTA,Fe(Ⅱ)和PMS的浓度有助于OG的降解,但当三者浓度分别超过1.5,1.5,2.0 mmol·L^-1时,出现抑制现象;引入NTA既提高了Fe(Ⅱ)/PMS体系在近中性pH条件下的氧化能力,又拓宽了该体系的pH应用范围.     

基于轻量化深度学习网络的数字仪表识别

数字式仪表常用于变电站、工厂等生产环境,是一种直观的设备监测仪器。然而当前数字式仪表的读取方式还依赖于人工巡检,手动记录等,这些传统的巡检方式来监测设备的运行状态大大降低了巡检效率。为了实现传统行业的数字化转型,本文提出基于轻量化深度学习的数字仪表识别方法,通过改进的YOLOv5的目标检测框架,针对数字仪表目标区域在整张图片大小不一致的情况,提出对于感兴趣区域（ROI）的迭代目标检测方法,首次检测将感兴趣区域进行检测并切割统一到相同的尺度,随后迭代检测网络针对感兴趣区域内的字符进行检测并分类,以达到精确读数的目的。为提升多尺度检测性能,本文采用Res2Net模块主干网络中的的残差模块。采用GIoU取代通用的IoU作为位置损失函数加速模型训练效果的收敛。实验表明,改进后的框架实现了99.62%的准确率和99.55%的召回率,相比基线网络分别提升了12.72%和5.85%。通过将框架在边缘计算平台上的终端部署,在实际生产中取代了人工巡检,实现了商业化运行。
