In Professor Cai's office, a new tank of goldfish was raised, which looked quite energetic, swimming back and forth, touching the aquatic plants in the tank from time to time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Professor Cai looked down at the blue and white water tank, left a little broken corn from between his fingers, saw Yang Rui come in, greeted him with a smile, and said, "You sit down first, wait for me to wash my hands, we have to hurry up, I have to go to the city for a meeting in the afternoon, if you hadn't called, I would have set off just now." ”

"Good. Yang Rui sat on the sofa, sorted out his thoughts, and did not speak immediately.

Professor Cai spilled all the broken corn in his hand, and washed his hands in the basin behind the door, only to find that Yang Rui didn't speak, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you talk about it?"

"You sit down, and I'll tell you, the Dharma doesn't pass on to the six ears. Yang Rui smiled.

"Hey. Professor Cai was amused by him, wiped his hands, sat down opposite Yang Rui, and said, "Yes, mysterious, what happened again." ”

Yang Ruiqing coughed, changed his expression to a serious expression, and said, "Professor Cai, I'm here to report the good news." ”

"Oh, where does the joy come from?"

Yang Rui unfolded his folder, put the crystal structure diagram of the G protein-coupled receptor in front of Professor Cai, and said softly under the puzzled gaze of the other party: "Two weeks ago, the ion channel laboratory completed the second phase of the research on the G protein-coupled receptor and obtained the crystal structure diagram of the G protein-coupled receptor. ”

"Huh?" Professor Cai obviously hasn't changed from the state of feeding the fish man.

"This is the crystal structure diagram of the G protein-coupled receptor. The second phase of our study was completed. Yang Rui paused, and in Professor Cai's more puzzled expression, he said: "I organized a triple repeat experiment, and now the repeat experiment conducted by Gu Qiang himself has been completed, and the progress of the repeated experiment of the other two groups is about 50% and 75% respectively, and there are no obvious omissions. ”

"Oh, huh...... Ahh

"The data is here. Yang Rui put another page of printer paper on the side. The crystal structure of G protein-coupled receptors was only conjectured in the past, and before it was made, humans did not know what it looked like, so it was necessary to cooperate with the data to see if it matched the conjecture.

It's like if someone has finally caught a "ghost", how can you prove that it is a ghost and not something else? First of all, see if it conforms to the human definition or conjecture of a ghost, for example, whether there is a substance, whether there is a shadow, whether it can speak, whether it has a spell......

All the conjectures coincide, in order to further classify, botanists how to judge whether a chrysanthemum is "vigorously not bad chrysanthemum", how to judge whether a ghost is a ghost.

To determine the crystal structure diagram of G protein-coupled receptors, it is necessary to use a similar method, mainly to see whether various data meet the previous tests.

The results of countless scholars who died under the flesh and blood mill of Wang Qi, that is, at this moment, played a role.

Professor Cai looked at the dense data and crystal structure diagrams, lowered his head, and gradually lost his voice.

Yang Rui bent down to take a look and found that his eyes were wide open, without the slightest focus.

Yang Rui was startled and hurriedly shouted, "Professor Cai?"

"Don't make a noise, I'll do it. Professor Cai snorted, exhaled again, and buried his head between his legs, his face expressionless and unfocused.

Yang Rui was speechless for a while, why do you bother with mental arithmetic, there is a calculator on the table, besides, you participated in the mental arithmetic competition like this when you were a child?

After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, Professor Cai finally withdrew his "strange" yoga pose, his eyes were focused, and he looked at Yang Rui fixedly.

Yang Rui rubbed his face and said with a wry smile: "When I made it, I was also surprised, so I did a triple repeat test." ”

"Have you repeated the experiment?" Professor Cai had already heard the answer, but he still wanted to make sure again.

Yang Rui bowed his head and said: "Gu Qiang made it himself, I watched the whole process, although I did it five times, I still made it." ”

A large system experiment, redone five times or something, although it is a bit much, it is still within the normal value.

"Gu Qiang is the researcher you seconded from the genetic engineering laboratory before?"

"Yes. ”

"Are you sure?" Professor Cai was not very reassuring about unfamiliar researchers.

Yang Rui affirmed: "Be sure, Gu Qiang's experimental ability is beyond doubt. ”

Professor Cai nodded slowly and said, "I don't have a deep understanding of G protein-coupled receptors, in this regard, you are an authority, if you can be sure, then I have no problem." ”

"I can confirm that. Yang Rui didn't stumble.

"Okay, good ......" Professor Cai patted his leg, very excited, but he didn't know where to start, thought for a long time, and asked: "I remember that the funds have not been spent for you, but how much has been spent on the remaining funds of the first stage?"

"So far, $500,000 has not been spent. Yang Rui said and laughed.

Although Professor Cai didn't expect to spend a lot of money, he was still stunned and repeated: "$500,000 to make the crystal structure of G protein-coupled receptors?"

"It's done so fast. That's the cost of repeating the experiment. Yang Rui said and depicted Gu Qiang's "strong luck", and said: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I was watching a movie." ”

"This luck is good enough...... Professor Cai hesitated for a moment and asked, "You did the test, there will be no fraud, right?"

With a funding of 500,000 US dollars and half a month, if it weren't for Yang Rui, Professor Cai's first thought would be "academic fraud".

Yang Rui could only shrug his shoulders and said, "Professor Man Hai and Professor Tao Xuelin each do repeated experiments in an experimental group, and when they are completed, they should be able to determine." In addition, Professor Feng Junming was pulled by me to do a horizontal comparison, and he was also asked to do the later verification. ”

Unlike Su Xiankai, who Yang Rui recruited from elsewhere, Man Hai, Tao Xuelin and Feng Junming are all native professors of Peking University and scholars that Professor Cai is familiar with.

As soon as Professor Cai heard Yang Rui's arrangement, he knew that there was no problem nine times out of ten, and said a little embarrassedly: "Don't blame me for being too careful, it's really too unexpected." ”

"I can understand that. Although I came up with the plan, Gu Qiang made it through in one go, which scared me, and I didn't even make changes in the middle. Yang Rui replied half-truthfully.

Professor Cai sighed: "You can make a one-time solution, which also shows that the foundation is solid and the preparation is sufficient, and our researchers are most lacking in this kind of spirit." Well, I see, while you have free time these days, you come to make a report, and I will do it for our teachers and students at Peking University......"

"Professor Cai, I am here today to report more than this incident. Yang Rui interrupted Professor Cai's excitement.

"Oh? ”

"I wondered if we could keep the crystal structure of the G protein-coupled receptor a secret. ”

"Secrecy?" Professor Cai was a little puzzled and said, "This is basic research, so there is not much point in secrecy." ”

"But if we release the results, the laboratory that is now conducting crystal structure research will immediately turn to the third stage of high-resolution three-dimensional structure research......" Yang Rui said here, pausing for a moment to let Professor Cai digest it slightly, and then said: "As far as we know, there are already laboratories that have started to do three-dimensional structure research in advance, and their research in this area is still ahead of us, but it lacks key data, and it is relatively slow to do it, and there are some holes that cannot be filled, but ......"

"If the crystal structure of G protein-coupled receptors is published, the first to benefit is from these labs that work on the three-dimensional structure in advance. Professor Cai didn't need Yang Rui to finish speaking, he understood, and couldn't help but look Yang Rui up and down, if this is not announced, it will dig a huge pit.

He is not worried that someone can make it in advance, a person who is lucky enough to clear the customs does not mean that someone can come again, in fact, within half a year, there can be a top-level laboratory, and the news of getting some results is already considered to be a rapid progress.

Shitori Village said

The title of our fan group was solicited and finally decided as "Bird Watching Group", thanks to everyone's active participation!! the strong pollution is breathtaking, and the unselected name is still stored on the official account of Shitori Village, you can go to "znc100" to watch. The mysterious gift has been given, according to my original plan, to give away a beautiful cast iron frying pan that I have verified, and the super heat storage capacity is not a problem for two large steaks at once, such a mysterious and perfect gift...... However, Comrade Sheng expressed his lack of interest in the fact that my family did not produce foodies, so the gift was changed to a vulgar fountain pen...... Life is really lonely......
