- 54 human genes were selected as test targets for parallel cloning, expression, purification and crystallization. Proteins from these genes were selected to have a molecular weight of between 14 and 50 kDa, not to have a high percentage of hydrophobic residues (i.e. more likely to be soluble) and to have no known crystal structures and were not known to be subunits of heterocomplexes. Four proteins containing transmembrane regions were selected for comparative tests. To date, 44 expression clones have been constructed with the Gateway(TM) cloning system (Invitrogen, The Netherlands). Of these, 35 clones were expressed as recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3)-pLysS, of which 12 were soluble and four have been purified to homogeneity. Crystallization conditions were screened for the purified proteins in 96-well plates under oil. After further refinement with the same device or by the hanging-drop method, crystals were grown, with needle, plate and prism shapes. A 2.12 Angstrom data set was collected for protein NCC27. The results provide insights into the high-throughput target selection, cloning, expression and crystallization of human genomic proteins.

- A new high valent complex [Mn-2(III, III)L(mu-OAc)(2)].PF6 (2a) was prepared, where L was the trianion of 2, 6-bis {[(2-hydroxy-5-tert-butylbenzyl) (pyridyl-2-methyl)-amino]-methyl}-4-methylphenol, which contains two additional phenolate groups and two tert-butyl groups compared to its parent [Mn-2(II, II)(bpmp)(mu-OAc)(2)].ClO4 (1). These improvements narrowed the disparity between the new model and (Mn)(4) cluster (OEC in nature). Moreover, L was modified to be covalently linked with Ru(II) tris-bipyridine through an amide bond to construct a complex 2b for the study of photoinduced electron transfer (PET). UV-vis, IR, emission spectra and electrochemistry were used to investigate their photochemistry properties. The results showed that 2b has good photochemistry properties and the E-1/2 of Ru3+/Ru2+ was higher than those of phenol(+)/phenol and Mn(III, IV)/Mn(III, III). After coordination of manganese ions, the electron transfer process in the model complex conforms to the basic principles of electron donor side of photosystem II (PS II) in nature.

- Micro-photoluminescence (mu-PL) line scanning across a single V-groove, GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wire (QWR) has been performed at room temperature, revealing a clear spatial-dependence of the PL. After fitting each PL spectrum by multi-Gaussian line shapes, intensity profiles of each PL component from confined structures have been obtained as functions of the scanning position. The PL quenching of a side-wall quantum well (SQWL) has been recognized in a certain area in the vicinity of the QWR and is interpreted by carrier transfer into the QWR within effective transfer length. By simulating the carrier-transfer process from SQWL to QWR as a convolution of a step function for carrier distribution and a Gaussian function for exciting laser irradiance, the effective transfer length of about 1.8+/-0.3 mum has, therefore, been concluded.

- As a model compound for redox components on the donor side of photosystem II (PS II) in green plants, a supramolecular complex 2 was synthesized and characterized. In this complex, two {[(2-hydroxy-3-(morpholin-4-ylmethyl)-5-tert-butyl-benzyl)(pyridyl-2-methyl)amino]methyl} arms are linked to the ortho-positions of a phenol which is expected covalently to be linked to Ru(II) tris-bipyridine through an amide bond. The arms on the substituted-phenol can coordinate two Mn(III) ions. The structure of complex 2 was confirmed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and 2D-NMR (gCOSY, HSQC and HMBC). Its photochemical and electrochemical properties were studied. The results showed that the MLCT band of the compound was red-shifted compared to that of [Ru(byp)(3)](2+) and the luminescence quantum yield was enhanced. In addition, the oxidation potential of ruthenium was higher than the phenol(+)/phenol and Mn(III, IV)/Mn(III) which was consisted with the electron transfer sequence of the donor side of PS II in nature. All these showed that this compound was a good model to mimic the donor side of PS II.

- A new ruthenium(II) complex (1) with four ester groups have been designed and synthesized, in which a phenol substituted by {[(2-hydroxy-3-(morpholin-4-ylmethyl)-5-tent-butylbenzyl) (pyridyl-2-methyl) amino]methyl} groups was covalently linked to ruthenium (II) tris-bipyridine. The structure of complex 1 was characterized by electrospray ionization mass spectrometer (ESI-MS) and 1D-NMR, 2D-NMR (gCOSY, HSQC and HMBC) spectra. The electrochemical and spectral properties were also studied. Introduction of the four carboxyl acid groups and the donor ligand tuned the spectra and the redox properties of compound 1. The MLCT transition was turned from 451 to 474 nm and the complex had long lifetime of the (MLCT)-M-3 state emission. Moreover, the oxidation potential of Ru3+/Ru2 + of compound 1 was similar to 360 mV higher than that of [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) which would enhance the driving-force of electron transfer. These results showed that the compound 1 had proper redox potentials and was suitable for being used as photosensitizer of solar cell.

- It has been proved that the magnetoencephalogram-multiple signal classification algorithm has many advantages over the general global optimization methods in localizing current dipoles in a spherically symmetrical conductor head model. Making use of this method, we can tell the total number of current dipoles conveniently and localize those dipoles one by one in a shorter time, simply by calculating generalized eigenvalues of a two- or three-dimensional matrix. In this paper, this method is used to localize the current dipoles in a realistic head shap e model. Numerical simulation demonstrates that this algorithm is effective and has great advantages in the localization of multiple dipoles.
