条斑紫菜对无机碳的利用

于１９９８年３月在青岛太平角采集条斑紫菜,在室内光照强度为１２０μＥ／（ｍ~２·ｓ）的培养架上培养,通过测定其光合作用引起密闭海水体系ｐＨ值及无机碳浓度的变化,借助于各种无机碳利用的抑制剂（Ａｚ、Ｖａｎ、ＤＩＤＳ、ＳＩＴＳ）对其无机碳利用机制进行了研究。结果表明,（１）条斑紫菜可间接吸收ＨＣＯ~（－）_（３）。胞外碳酸醉酶（ＣＡ）催化ＨＣＯ~（－）_（３）水解成ＣＯ_２扩散进入胞内是条斑紫菜无机碳利用的主要形式,占全部无机碳利用的７３％以上。Ａｚ是胞外ＣＡ的抑制剂,可直接检测胞外ＣＡ的存在,它不能透过细胞膜。（２）条斑紫菜可依赖于细胞膜上ＡＴＰ酶对ＨＣＯ~（－）_（３）直接转运。但未发现带Ⅲ蛋白（ｂａｎｄ ３ Ｐｒｏｔｅｉｎ）及 Ｎａ~＋／ＨＣＯ_（３）~（－）协同转运系统的参与。（３）条斑紫菜ｐＨ值补偿点为９．８３,ＣＯ_２补偿点为０．０４μｍｏｌ／Ｌ。     

极富CO_2流体的造山型金矿:苏丹哈马迪金矿

哈马迪金矿位于苏丹东北部,矿床产于阿拉伯-努比亚地盾新元古界变质岩系中,属于受剪切带控制的造山型金矿床。金矿体赋存在角闪片岩内近南北向的片理化蚀变带中,围岩蚀变主要为黄铁绢英岩化,以及绿泥石化和碳酸盐化等。在含矿石英细脉中赋存有大量的极富CO2的碳质流体包裹体。这些包裹体几乎不含水,含有少量CH4(XCH4=0~0.10)。脉石英中碳质流体包裹体既有孤立或随机分布的原生包裹体,也有呈线性分布的次生包裹体,最晚期还有次生水溶液包裹体的分布。碳质流体包裹体的三相点(Tm,CO2)范围变化不大(-58.4~-57.0℃),但均一温度(Th,CO2)范围变化较大(-19℃~+29℃)。捕获的P-T条件可由LCO2包裹体的ρ值或Th,CO2值,以及与其伴生的CO2-H2O包裹体最终均一温度Th,TOT值,从有关相图中估算。早期碳质流体包裹体的捕获P-T条件范围为280~360℃、80~320MPa。金矿化发生在变质峰期之后的退变质作用晚期。广泛发育的热液蚀变说明碳质流体并非来自单一的流体源,寄主石英变形很弱也不能解释水从H2O-CO2-盐流体包裹体中优先淋失、残留大量的CO2±CH4包裹体。碳质流体包裹体可能的成因是:在金成矿的退变质时期,来自深部的H2O-CO2-盐流体,由于P-T下降而发生不混溶,H2O在热液蚀变中被大量消耗,而CO2则以碳质流体包裹体的形式被得捕获在脉石英中。     

Metal donation and apo-metalloenzyme activation by stable isotopically labeled metallothionein

Coupled HPLC-ICP-MS has been used to quantitatively study the effects of GSSG and GSH on the ability of metallothionein (MTII) to donate essential and non-essential metals to apo-carbonic anhydrase. Stable isotopically labeled (67)Zn(3)Cd(4) MTII was used to enable Zn donated from MTII to be differentiated from extraneous sources of Zn. Transfer of both (67)Zn and Cd from MTII to apo-carbonic anhydrase was noted in the absence of either GSSG or GSH. GSSG increased the initial transfer of both Zn and Cd. Thereafter, a gradual increase in the (67)Zn content at the expense of Cd was noted over 24-h indicating continued interaction and exchange between MTII and the enzyme commensurate with the relative preferences shown by the proteins for these two metals. Although GSH also increased transfer of (67)Zn from MT it reduced the simultaneous transfer of Cd to the enzyme thereby conferring protection against Cd induced activation.
