过敏原肌质钙结合蛋白在毕赤酵母中的表达、优化及免疫反应性研究

目的 探究天然肌质钙结合蛋白(sarcoplasmic calcium binding protein, SCP)的可替代物,为蟹类过敏原的检测提供基础材料,本研究首次利用毕赤酵母(Pichia pastoris, P. pastoris)高效表达表达三疣梭子蟹(Portunus trituberculatus)重要过敏原SCP,并检验其免疫反应性。方法 根据毕赤酵母的密码子偏好性优化SCP基因并构建重组质粒。将其热激转化至P. pastoris GS115菌株后经遗传霉素(Geneticin, G418)筛选获得阳性高拷贝子。最后通过甲醇诱导表达重组SCP并结合免疫印记(Western blotting, WB)和间接酶联免疫吸附实验(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA)验证其免疫反应性。结果 SCP在P. pastoris GS115中实现了可溶性高效表达,其表观分子量约为28 kDa。在摇瓶水平下,最佳诱导条件为pH为6.0、每24 h添加1.0%(v/v)甲醇,于28℃发酵144 h,在此条件下,纯度为91.6%的SCP产量可达15 mg/L。WB和间接ELISA结果表明,重组SCP具有IgG结合能力。结论 毕赤酵母表达系统可以得到纯度较高且免疫反应性良好的重组SCP。本研究为SCP的理化研究及产业化应用奠定了基础,并有望促进特异性甲壳类过敏原检测的发展。     

佛手凉果加工过程中功能性成分与抗氧化性分析

佛手凉果是具有功能特性的岭南特色凉果品种,探究佛手凉果制作过程中功能性成分及其体外抗氧化活性变化规律,可为佛手凉果产业工艺优化与改良提供依据。结果表明,加工提高了佛手中总酸、多糖、黄酮和膳食纤维含量,导致多酚含量下降。制作过程中,1,1－二苯基－2－三硝基苯(DPPH)自由基、2,20 -联氮- 2 -三硝基苯肼(ABTS)自由基清除能力和铁离子还原抗氧化能力(Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power, FRAP)呈现先下降后上升的趋势,效果分别是新鲜佛手的1.35倍、1.57倍和2.16倍。总黄酮与FRAP之间呈现极显著相关性(P＜0.01);与DPPH、ABTS呈显著相关性(P＜0.05);有机酸、总多糖分别与ABTS和FRAP之间相关性(P＜0.05)。为此,在佛手凉果的制作过程中,糖制和干燥工艺对功能性成分的转化与浓缩起关键作用,可作为工艺优化的重点。     

Metal Ions versus Protons: Tracking of Charge-Carrier Insertion into a Cathode Oxide in Aqueous Rechargeable Batteries

Protons in aqueous electrolytes can perform as an additional type of charge carrier for insertion/extraction in addition to the primary carrier cations in aqueous rechargeable batteries. Despite many diverse claims regarding the effect of protons, mutually conflicting experimental results and their interpretations without direct evidence have been reported over the last decade. Systematic examinations and analyses are thus imperative to clarify the conditions of proton insertion in aqueous rechargeable batteries. Utilizing V₂O₅ as a model cathode and beaker-type cells with a sufficient amount of ZnSO₄ aqueous electrolytes in this work, it is demonstrated that protons are inserted into the cathode prior to Zn-ions in low-pH conditions (pH ≤ 3.0). In stark contrast, the influence of protons on the discharge voltage and capacity is insignificant, when either the pH becomes higher (pH ≥ 4.0) or the electrolyte volume is considerably low in coin-type cells. Similar behavior of pH-dependent proton insertion is also verified in Na–, Mg–, and Al-ion electrolytes. Providing a resolution to the controversy regarding proton insertion, the present study emphasizes that the influence of protons substantially varies depending on the pH and relative volume of electrolytes in aqueous batteries.

Development of a sequential robust–tolerance design model for a destructive quality characteristic

Robust design (RD) and tolerance design (TD) have received much attention from researchers and practitioners for more than two decades, and a number of methodologies for modeling and optimizing the RD and TD processes have been studied. However, there is ample room for improvement. Because most existing research considers RD and TD as separate research fields, the primary objective of this paper is to develop a sequential robust–tolerance design method to jointly determine the best factor settings and the closed-form solutions for the optimal specification limits. We then apply the proposed method to a destructive quality characteristic. Finally, a case study and sensitivity analyses are performed for verification purposes, and further studies are discussed.     

Parameterized computational complexity of control problems in voting systems

Voting systems are common tools in a variety of areas. This paper studies parameterized computational complexity of control of Plurality, Condorcet and Approval voting systems, respectively. The types of controls considered include adding or deleting candidates or voters, under constructive or destructive setting. We obtain the following results: (1) constructive control by adding candidates in Plurality voting is W[2]-hard with respect to the parameter “number of added candidates”, (2) destructive control by adding candidates in Plurality voting is W[2]-hard with respect to the parameter “number of added candidates”, (3) constructive control by adding voters in Condorcet voting is W[1]-hard with respect to the parameter “number of added voters”, (4) constructive control by deleting voters in Condorcet voting is W[1]-hard with respect to the parameter “number of deleted voters”, (5) constructive control by adding voters in Approval voting is W[1]-hard with respect to the parameter “number of added voters”, and (6) constructive control by deleting voters in Approval voting is W[2]-hard with respect to the parameter “number of deleted voters”.
