Subatomic Features on the Silicon (111)-(7x7) Surface Observed by Atomic Force Microscopy

The atomic force microscope images surfaces by sensing the forces between a sharp tip and a sample. If the tip-sample interaction is dominated by short-range forces due to the formation of covalent bonds, the image of an individual atom should reflect the angular symmetry of the interaction. Here, we report on a distinct substructure in the images of individual adatoms on silicon (111)-(7x7), two crescents with a spherical envelope. The crescents are interpreted as images of two atomic orbitals of the front atom of the tip. Key for the observation of these subatomic features is a force-detection scheme with superior noise performance and enhanced sensitivity to short-range forces.     

A structural framework for deciphering the link between I-Ag7 and autoimmune diabetes

Susceptibility to murine and human insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus correlates strongly with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II I-A or HLA-DQ alleles that lack an aspartic acid at position beta57. I-Ag7 lacks this aspartate and is the only class II allele expressed by the nonobese diabetic mouse. The crystal structure of I-Ag7 was determined at 2.6 angstrom resolution as a complex with a high-affinity peptide from the autoantigen glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) 65. I-Ag7 has a substantially wider peptide-binding groove around beta57, which accounts for distinct peptide preferences compared with other MHC class II alleles. Loss of Asp(beta57) leads to an oxyanion hole in I-Ag7 that can be filled by peptide carboxyl residues or, perhaps, through interaction with the T cell receptor.     

Atomic resolution imaging of adsorbates on metal surfaces in air: iodine adsorption on pt(111)

The adsorption of iodine on platinum single crystals was studied with the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to define the limits of resolution that can be obtained while imaging in air and to set a target resolution for STM imaging of metal surfaces immersed in an electrochemical cell. Two iodine adlattice unit cells of slightly different iodine packing density were clearly imaged: ( radical7 x radical7) R19.1 degrees -I, surface coverage ?(I) = 3/7; and (3 x 3)-I, ?(I) = 4/9. The three iodine atoms in the ( radical7 x radical7) unit cell form a regular hexagonal lattice interatomic distance d(I) = 0.424 nanometer, with two atoms adsorbed in threefold hollow sites and one atom adsorbed at an atop site. The (3 x 3) unit cell showed two different packing arrangements of the four iodine atoms exit. In one of the (3 x 3) structures, the iodine atoms pack to form a hexagonal lattice, d(I) = 0.417 nanometer, with three of the iodine atoms at twofold adsorption sites and one atom at an atop site. Another packing arrangement of iodine into the (3 x 3) unit cell was imaged in which the iodine atoms are not arranged symmetrically.

Ultrafast mid-infrared response of YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7-delta)

Optical spectra of high-transition-temperature superconductors in the mid-infrared display a gap of in-plane conductivity whose role for superconductivity remains unresolved. Femtosecond measurements of the mid-infrared reflectivity of YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7-delta) after nonequilibrium optical excitation are used to demonstrate the ultrafast fill-in of this gap and reveal two gap constituents: a picosecond recovery of the superconducting condensate in underdoped and optimally doped material and, in underdoped YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7-delta), an additional subpicosecond component related to pseudogap correlations. The temperature-dependent amplitudes of both contributions correlate with the antiferromagnetic 41-millielectronvolt peak in neutron scattering, supporting the coupling between charges and spin excitations.     

Identification of the products from the reaction of chlorine with the silicon(111)-(7x7) surface

The various products from the reaction of chlorine (Cl) with the adatom layer of the Si(111)-(7x7) surface have been identified with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Initially, a single Cl atom reacts with the adatom dangling bond. At higher surface coverage, additional Cl atoms insert themselves into the Si-Si backbonds between the adatom and rest-atom layers, producing adatoms that have reacted with two or three Cl atoms. These products are characterized by different registries with respect to the underlying rest layer and appear in STM images as adatoms of different sizes, consistent with the breaking of Si-Si backbonds and the formation ofnew Si-Cl bonds.     

Identification of Molecular Markers Linked to the Wilt Resistance Gene FuJ7(t)in Flax

A cross between wilt resistant flax variety Jinya7 and susceptible variety Jinyal was made for mapping wilt resistance gene(s).The inoculation test of F1 and F2 progeny proved that the resistance of Jinya7 to wilt is controlled by two dominant genes.With 48 EcoRⅠ/MseⅠ primer combinations,amplified fragment length polymorphisms(AFLP)analysis was performed on two parents and their F2 resistance and susceptibility bulks.A total of about 3 300 distinguishable bands were amplified,of which three bands had stable differences.The genetic linkage analysis of the three polymorphic DNA fragments with the resistance gene(s)was made in the F2 segregating population derived from the cross between Jinya7 and Jinyal.The DNA fragment AG/CAG was found closely linked to one of the wilt-resistant genes,which with a genetic distance of 5.2 cm,was tentatively named FuJ7(t).The cloned fragment AG/CAG was sequenced and then converted successfully to a sequence characterized amplified region(SCAR)marker,which can be used more conveniently in the identification and marker-assisted selection for the wilt resistance gene FuJ7(t)to flax wilt.     

Size-Specific Infrared Spectra of Benzene-(H2O)n Clusters (n = 1 through 7): Evidence for Noncyclic (H2O)n Structures

Resonant ion-dip infrared spectroscopy has been used to record size-specific infrared spectra of C(6)H(6)-(H(2)O)n clusters with n = 1 through 7 in the O-H stretch region. The O-H stretch spectra show a dramatic dependence on cluster size. For the n = 3 to 5 clusters, the transitions can be divided into three types-attributable to free, pi hydrogen-bonded, and single donor water-water O-H stretches-consistent with a C(6)H(6)-(H(2)O)n structure in which benzene is on the surface of a cyclic (H(2)O)n cluster. In n = 6 and 7 clusters, the spectra show distinct new transitions in the 3500 to 3600 wave number region. After comparison of these results with the predictions of ab initio calculations on (H(2)O)n clusters, these new transitions have been assigned to double donor O-H stretches associated with the formation of a more compact, noncyclic structure beginning with (H(2)O)(6). This is the same size cluster for which ab initio calculations predict that a changeover to noncyclic (H(2)O)n structures will occur.     

Quantitative measurement of short-range chemical bonding forces

We report direct force measurements of the formation of a chemical bond. The experiments were performed using a low-temperature atomic force microscope, a silicon tip, and a silicon (111) 7x7 surface. The measured site-dependent attractive short-range force, which attains a maximum value of 2.1 nanonewtons, is in good agreement with first-principles calculations of an incipient covalent bond in an analogous model system. The resolution was sufficient to distinguish differences in the interaction potential between inequivalent adatoms, demonstrating the ability of atomic force microscopy to provide quantitative, atomic-scale information on surface chemical reactivity.

Energy dependence of abstractive versus dissociative chemisorption of fluorine molecules on the silicon (111)-(7x7) surface

Scanning tunneling microscopy and monoenergetic molecular beams have been used to obtain real-space atomic images of the competition between abstractive and dissociative chemisorption. The size distribution of Si-F adsorbates on the Si(111)-(7x7) surface was examined as a function of the incident translational energy of the F(2) molecules. For F(2) molecules with 0.03 electron volt of incident energy, the dominant adsorbate sites were isolated Si-F species. As an F(2) molecule with low translational energy collides with the surface, abstraction occurs and only one of the F atoms chemisorbs; the other is ejected into the gas phase. For F(2) molecules with 0.27 electron volt of incident energy, many adjacent Si-F adsorbates (dimer sites) were observed because F(2) molecules with high translational energy collide with the surface and chemisorb dissociatively so that both F atoms react to form adjacent Si-F adsorbates. For halogens with very high incident energy (0.5-electron volt Br(2)), dissociative chemisorption is the dominant adsorption mechanism and dimer sites account for nearly all adsorbates.

Structure of the Reduced TiO2(110) Surface Determined by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

The scanning tunneling microscope has been used to image a reduced TiO(2)(110) surface in ultrahigh vacuum. Structural units with periodicities rangng from 21 to 3.4 angstroms have been clearly imaged, demonstrating that atomic resolution imaging of an ionic, wide band gap (3.2 electron volts) semiconductor is possible. The observed surface structures can be explained by a model involving ordered arrangements of two-dimensional defects known as crystallographic shear planes and indicate that the topography of nonstoichiometric oxide surfaces can be complex.

Let-7d在牙鲆变态发育期间的表达及靶基因预测

MicroRNAs(miRNAs)通过抑制编码基因的转录调控关键的生物学进程。研究发现,let-7是时序发育过程中的重要调控因子,在促进幼体向成体转变的发育过程中起着极其重要的作用。利用Solexa测序技术从牙鲆中成功鉴定出let-7家族的10个成员((let-7a,let-7b,let-7c,let-7d,let-7e,let-7f,let-7g,let-7h,let-7i,let-7j)。相对于let-7家族其他成员,let-7d的拷贝数最多,推测其在牙鲆发育过程中扮演着更重要的角色。运用实时荧光定量PCR方法分析let-7d在牙鲆变态发育不同时期的表达,结果发现,在对照组和甲状腺激素处理组,let-7d的表达模式类似:前5个时期(孵化后17 d,17dph;变态Ⅰ期,20 dph;变态Ⅱ期,23 dph;变态Ⅲ期,29 dph;变态Ⅳ期,36dph)表达量逐渐上升;变态晚期(36 dph)达到高峰;变态结束(41 dph)表达量呈现下降的趋势。定量结果显示,甲状腺激素下调let-7d的表达,与对照组呈显著性差异(P<0.05)。对牙鲆不同组织中let-7d的表达情况分析表明,let-7d主要存在于牙鲆的头部(脑,鳃,心脏)。靶基因预测发现,在目前已公布的482条牙鲆mRNA序列中,其中有30条mRNA的3’非翻译区(3’-UTRs)存在let-7d结合位点。这些预测的靶基因涉及到发育过程的许多方面:蛋白折叠,细胞分化,信号转导,病毒免疫反应和信号通路等。这些结果说明,let-7d在调控牙鲆从仔鱼向稚鱼转变的变态发育过程中起着极其重要的作用。
