Determination of isoflavones in red clover by capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection

Capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection (CE-ED) was employed to analyze isoflavones in red clover (Trifolium pratense). The effects of potential of working electrode, pH and concentration of running buffer, separation voltage and injection time on CE-ED were investigated. Operated in a wall-jet configuration, a 300 microm diameter carbon-disk electrode was used as the working electrode, which exhibits a good response at +0.85 V (versus saturated calomel electrode) for the analytes. The analytes could be separated in a 50 mmol/l borate buffer (pH 9.5) within 25 min. The response was linear over three orders of magnitude with detection limit (S/N=3) ranging from 2x10(-5) mg/ml to 5x10(-5) mg/ml for the analytes. This method has been used for the determination of daidzein, genistein and biochanin A in red clover with satisfactory results.

双向电泳在植物蛋白质组中的应用及影响因素分析

双向电泳(two-dimensional gel electrophoresis,2-DE)是蛋白质组学研究中常用的技术之一,因具有较高的稳定性和重复性,在植物蛋白质组学中应用广泛。蛋白质双向电泳(2-DE)过程复杂、时间持久以及影响因素众多,本文立足蛋白质双向电泳实验过程中可能出现的各种现象,如：分离的蛋白质点过少、条纹过多导致凝胶背景模糊、高丰度蛋白点聚集沉淀及低丰度蛋白点被掩盖等,着重分析其产生的原因并提出具体的解决办法,为蛋白质双向电泳技术初学者提供参考。     

原木内部腐朽应力波二维图像的获取与分析

应用Arbotom应力波检测系统,对东北林区3个针叶树种(云杉、冷杉、落叶松)和9个阔叶树种(白桦、色木、椴木、杨木、水曲柳、核桃楸、榆木、铁木和柞木)的原木内部腐朽进行检测,并对原木内部腐朽面积的实际估算值和检测估算值进行比较分析.结果表明:Arbotom应力波无损检测系统可以获取原木内部腐朽的二维图像,但检测准确率较低,建议采用多点测量和改进应力波测试仪器,以提高检测准确率.     

Transgenic sorghum with suppressed synthesis of kafirin subclasses: Effects on flour and dough rheological characteristics

Arising from work showing that conventionally bred high protein digestibility sorghum types have improved flour and dough functionality, the flour and dough properties of transgenic biofortified sorghum lines with increased protein digestibility and high lysine content (TG-HD) resulting from suppressed synthesis of several kafirin subclasses, especially the cysteine-rich γ-kafirin, were studied. TG-HD sorghums had higher flour water solubility at 30 °C (p < 0.05) and much higher paste viscosity (41% higher) than their null controls (NC). TG-HD doughs were twice as strong as their NC and dynamic rheological analysis indicated that the TG doughs were somewhat more elastic up to 90 °C. CLSM of doughs and pastes indicated that TG-HD had a less compact endosperm protein matrix surround the starch compared to their NC. The improved flour and dough functional properties of the TG-HD sorghums seem to be caused by reduced endosperm compactness resulting from suppression of synthesis of several kafirin subclasses which modifies protein body and protein matrix structure, and to improved protein-starch interaction through hydrogen bonding specifically caused by reduction in the level of the hydrophobic γ-kafirin. The improved flour functionality of these transgenic biofortified sorghums can increase their commercial utility by complementing their improved nutritional quality.     

高压电场干燥和热风干燥对马铃薯蛋白质二级结构的影响

以自然风干为对照组,采用SDS-PAGE凝胶电泳和圆二色光谱法研究了高压电场干燥(HVEF)和热风干燥对马铃薯蛋白质分子量的影响以及两种干燥方法对马铃薯蛋白质二级结构的影响。SDS-PAGE凝胶电泳结果显示:两种干燥方法对马铃薯蛋白质分子量基本不产生影响。圆二色光谱检测结果表明:经高压电场干燥后,马铃薯蛋白质的α-螺旋所占比例下降1.30%,β-折叠所占比例上升1.60%,β-转角所占比例上升0.30%,无规卷曲所占比例上升1.20%;经热风干燥后,马铃薯蛋白质的α-螺旋所占比例上升了12.50%,β-折叠所占比例下降了10.70%,β-转角所占比例上升了4.30%,无规卷曲所占比例下降4.40%。通过比较:HVEF对马铃薯蛋白质二级结构中α-螺旋、β-折叠、无规卷曲的作用趋势与热风干燥正好相反;如,热风干燥使α-螺旋的比例显著上升,而HVEF则使α-螺旋的比例下降,并且HVEF对马铃薯蛋白质二级结构的影响比热风干燥对马铃薯蛋白质二级结构的影响较小。     

An improved method for extraction of sorghum polymeric protein complexes

A method for fractionating sorghum proteins using extraction solvents and techniques designed to obtain polymeric protein structures (especially disulfide linked) was developed. Extraction and separation conditions were optimized in terms of completeness of protein extraction, sample stability, and analytical resolution. After pre-extraction of albumins and globulins, a 3-step sequential procedure involving no reducing agents was applied to ground whole sorghum flour. The three fractions obtained represented proportionally different protein polymer contents and molecular weight distribution as evidenced by comparative size exclusion chromatography. Protein composition also varied among the extracts with differences in kafirin composition and non-kafirin proteins detected in the fractions by RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE analysis. The ability to quantify and further characterize sorghum polymeric protein complexes will be useful for additional studies linking protein structures with functionality and digestibility and variations for these properties within diverse sorghum germplasm.
