On a winter morning, the heavens and the earth were covered with a veil, white and cloudy.

The lake in the park looms in the fog, like a fairyland, and the chrysanthemums, pines and cypresses on the roadside are covered with dewdrops, shining in the sunlight, like clear crystals.

On the outskirts of Jinling City, in an old garden villa, an old man with gray hair is beating his waist and pinching his legs in the mist, stretching his limbs.

When the golden thread of the sky pierced through the mist and shone in the garden, a call came from the house, "Teacher Mu, it's time for breakfast." ”

"Hey, it's coming~" "Teacher Mu" in the garden beat his chest and paused and entered the house in good spirits.

In the restaurant, a middle-aged beautiful woman was serving black rice porridge and said, "Your daughter is getting lazier and lazier now, sleeping all day long, and you don't care about the company's mess, you don't talk about her." If this continues, the company will go out of business. ”

"Teacher Mu" said with a smile: "If you go out of business, you will go out of business, there are no orders anyway." ”

"If you don't take care of it well, do you still expect orders to fall from the sky!" The middle-aged beauty was like "Teacher Mu", "You just spoil her, spoil her as a big lazy worm, and see who wants her to ...... in the future"

Before the beautiful woman finished speaking, a girl in cotton pajamas came down upstairs, with long hair fluttering, a slender figure, a giant panda printed on the chest of the pajamas, and two swollen eyes with a big bag.

The girl said from afar: "Teacher Mu, you can also take care of the long-tongued woman in your family, gossiping behind people's backs all day long." ”

"What are you talking about?long-tongued woman?I see you're itchy skin!" The middle-aged beautiful woman took the rice spoon to teach her daughter a lesson, "You stop for me......"

"Dad...... Hahaha......"

At breakfast, Mr. Mu's Wei Xin on the table came with a message, he subconsciously looked at it, and then unlocked it with one hand, opened the Wei Xin group, and sent a "good morning" gif out.

Weixin's group name is the "home of virus exchange".

And this Teacher Mu is the "Nangong Green Lantern" in the group, his real name is Mu Yuanqing, a professor, doctoral supervisor, and senior biosafety expert in the Department of Biology of a double-first-class university in Jinling.

Mu Yuanqing had just finished sending the message, and soon saw that Jiang Feng Yuhuo had also sent a message, "@小周, I heard that the clinical drug research institute of your hospital has discovered a drug target for allergic cough?"

Mu Yuanqing didn't care at first.

It wasn't until he watched it a second time that he suddenly realized what it meant.

I was amazed.

"An An, look at it~" Mu Yuanqing hurriedly pushed the phone in front of his daughter.

"What?" Mu Anqi, that is, Mu Yuanqing's daughter, asked, and turned her head to look at the information.

Mu Anqi has always been the pride of Mu Yuanqing, with outstanding talent in biology, especially in biotechnology, and has published many heavyweight papers.

In the domestic academic circle, it is known as "Xiao Yan Ning".

Because of this, after Dr. Mu Anqi graduated, Mu Yuanqing deliberately opened a biopharmaceutical company to practice her skills.

Not enoughDue to the general environment, the company has been in a state of debt operation.

Mu Anqi read the information and said strangely: "It's just a drug target, Dad, why are you so excited?"

Mu Yuanqing shook his head and said, "You don't understand~ Zhou Wen is a senior researcher at this pharmaceutical research institute. ”

"Isn't Zhou Wen researching prions, and when did he go to the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research to work part-time again?" Mu Anqi asked a little strangely.

Of course, Mu Anqi knew that Zhou Wen was a biological genius, and in fact, she also helped Zhou Wen revise the paper, which was the "Cryptococcus mutans" sent to The Lancet.

It's just that the two have never met in reality.

Mu Yuanqing said: "Not long after he arrived at the hospital, he went to the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research to work part-time. He once said in the group that his dream is to become a great pharmacist. ”

"Great pharmacist? Mu Anqi smiled and said, "Mr. Mu, what do you mean is that this anti-allergic cough drug target was discovered by Zhou Wen, right?"

Mu Yuanqing nodded and said, "Yes! He must have found it." ”

Mu Anqi looked at the excited glowing expression on his father's face, and said helplessly: "Even if he found it, so what?"

Regardless of whether the target has been verified, even if it has been verified, the screening of compounds, cell research, animal research, preparation research, etc., each procedure requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

In addition, Mr. Mu, you also know that there are too many sources of infection for allergic cough, and the effect of drug treatment is often very poor. Seriously, I'm not optimistic about this discovery at all. ”

I don't blame Dr. Mu Anqi for being so disheartened.

It's really that the investment in new drug research and development is too high, and it is not at all something that ordinary people or pharmaceutical companies can play.

It's just that what Mu Anqi didn't expect was that Mu Yuanqing said: "Of course I know this, but you don't know Zhou Wen, this young man has extraordinary talent in the field of biomedicine." ”

"So what?"

"Find a way to work with him!"

……

10 a.m., Jiangzhou Pharmaceutical Research Institute.

After the drug target of allergic cough was discovered and verified, Chen Ruobing has been busy writing papers in the past few days.

It's just that after the beginning of the paper was written, Chen Ruobing couldn't write anymore.

The drug target was discovered by Zhou Wen, and she just verified his discovery, so how could she keep his results as her own? That would be too villainous.

So after Chen Ruobing thought about it all night, he decided to make this fact public.

Otherwise, she has a troubled conscience.

Just then, the cell phone in my pocket rang.

When I took it out, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hey, hello, who...... See you...... All right. ”

An hour later, Chen Ruobing and Mu Anqi sat face-to-face in a high-end restaurant near the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research.

Chen Ruobing took a look at this temperament girl known as Xiao Yanning, and found that it was "average".

Except that her skin is a little whiter than her and she is a little younger than her, there is nothing else surprising about it.

Chen Ruobing was puzzled: "I don't know if Dr. Mu asked me out, is there anything wrong?"

Mu Anqi held the teacup and said with a smile: "I heard that Chen has discovered the drug target of allergic cough. ”

Chen Ruobing was surprised: "How did you know?"

Although everyone in the institute knows about the success of target prediction, it is not to the point that everyone knows about it.

Mu Anqi smiled: "I know Zhou Wen." ”

"What did he tell you?" Chen Ruobing thought that Zhou Wen had told Mu Anqi about the drug target that he had discovered, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Since Zhou Wen told you, then you go and ask him. ”

After speaking, Chen Ruobing stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little unwell, let's go first." ”

"Hey, what's the matter?" Mu Anqi was a little inexplicable, seeing that Chen Ruobing didn't look back and said to leave, he hurriedly caught up and said, "Wait a minute, Chen Suo......"

When Mu Anqi chased to the door of the hotel, Chen Ruobing had already walked away, and said with a black question mark face: "What did I say about me?"

After all, he is a genius with an IQ of 150, Mu Anqi quickly thought of the reason why Chen Ruobing was angry, and said with a smile: "I said that I knew Zhou Wen, but I didn't say that Zhou Wen had already told me, this girl is too sensitive, right?"

Mu Anqi smiled and didn't care.

It's just a small misunderstanding, just go back and explain.

Turned around and went back to the hotel.

The three waitresses watched her fiercely to prevent her from escaping.

After eating and drinking, Mu Anqi drove to the Science and Technology Park.

In the laboratory building of the Science and Technology Park, Zhou Wen is doing a new prion protein inactivation method test on the computer.

Next to them, Li Wenshuo, Zhang Pengfei and Li Na were watching, with expressions of admiration and admiration on their faces.

Prion proteins are composed of a highly membrane-associated protein called "33-35 kDa" that can be digested and degraded by proteinase K.

However, the prion protein form has an alterable conformational form with a high level of β-sheet conformation......

In summary, prion proteins with molecular weights below 27 kDa are non-infectious and safe.

Now, Zhou Wen is trying to use a lysosome to digest or cut prion proteins into fragments below 27 kDa, and through this alternative method, to achieve the effect of inactivation.

And this new lysosome has been designed and is currently being tested.

Because of this, Li Wenshuo and the others were so surprised and incredulous.

Not only was he amazed that Zhou Wen could discover this lysozyme, but he was also amazed at Zhou Wen's knowledge in the field of biological viruses.

Compared with him, the three of them have doctors, and they are almost like elementary school students.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Please come in. ”

The door opened, and Qin Haitao stretched out his head and said, "Zhou Group, someone downstairs is looking for you." ”

"Who?"

"Nangong green lantern. ”

"Nangong Qinglantern?" Zhou Wen was puzzled, not knowing why this university professor suddenly came to find him.

Stared at the computer screen for a while, and finally retracted his gaze and said, "Just advance according to the current threshold, and the downward trend should not be lower than 15kd." ”

"Okay. ”

Zhou Wen stood up and gave way to Li Wenshuo and hurried out of the laboratory......
