Chapter 1202

In fact, there is no intense and sustainable scientific research competition. It's like no matter how strong the troops are, they can't keep taking part in siege battles. They have to be given a chance to repair.

The same is true for laboratories participating in the world's top scientific research competitions. Although high-level laboratories have multiple groups and can rotate, it is a more normal mode to slightly adjust the gap between competitions, or to slightly slow down and stabilize when occupying the leading position.

Of course, the most common rest mode belongs to the slightly backward laboratory. There is usually only one winner in scientific research competition. Therefore, laboratories that have fallen behind often turn pioneering experiments into repetitive experiments when there is no hope of pursuing them, so as to reduce costs, cultivate temporarily and wait for the next battle.

However, the risk of doing so is also obvious. If you fall behind in autonomy, the competition will be reduced, and the initiative of the competition will be in the hands of other laboratories.

If the leading laboratory postpones the publication of information and papers, it may lose the second round of scientific research competition, or even the third and fourth round, unconsciously. This kind of thing has not happened.

This is exactly what Yang Rui hopes to do.

Now, the scientific research competition on G protein coupled protein is in the ascendant, and all laboratories are still in a warm-up state. Yang Rui doesn't want to scare the snake.

Now, it is also the only time for ion channel laboratory to have advantages.

If those well-known laboratories actually have a certain understanding of each other, it is not so easy to postpone the publication of information or papers. At least, the other party can guess your progress. In addition, they can understand the situation through the instruments and equipment you purchased.

The most direct information comes from the investors, whether it's government invested projects, corporate consortia or foundations, or even individual funded projects. In general, some information should be released. Especially in developed countries, there are quite a number of systems to ensure this.

In this way, starting projects beyond the original project schedule requirements, whether it is additional funds or the use of the remaining funds, are traceable.

However, these laboratories usually belong to foreign laboratories, first-class laboratories in developed countries, and not third world laboratories.

Even if the ion channel laboratory needs to report any information to the research management department, foreign laboratories are not concerned about it.

Up to now, no "foreign friend" knows that Yang Rui is going to launch the G protein coupled receptor.

Besides, you can't put a satellite if you want to. Before proving himself, Yang Rui deliberately went to put a satellite, which may not have any effect.

However, the researchers in the ion channel laboratory have no doubts at all.

At least in the domestic environment, Yang Rui is the most qualified candidate for GPCR.

No one in China can be a GPCR. In this case, no one is willing to listen and no one believes it.

In order to prove the similar no proposition, the Chinese people do not know how much effort and sweat they have put in.

In the spring of 1986, the researchers of ion channel laboratory felt the urgent sense of mission again.

"Put the cover on the centrifuge."

"50 ml test tube without counterweight? Don't you want to die? Do you know how powerful this thing is? "

"These are ULTRACENTRIFUGES. If you throw out the test tube, you can break through the wall and kill two people next door."

Su xiankai is walking in the laboratory, checking every step.

G The first step of protein coupled receptor is to produce a large amount of bovine rhodopsin. The production and quantity here are relative to the normal laboratory scale, but the steps are no less than the factory.

The most troublesome part here is that the production of bovine rhodopsin requires a low-temperature ultracentrifuge before it can be used.

Before Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory bought it, there was only one cryogenic ultracentrifuge in Peking University.

Now, in order to make GPCR, Yang Rui has bought six at a time, each of which costs more than US $80000. The most expensive one is US $150000, which is more than the wealth of many laboratories.

If it's not your own money, or the funding of the ion channel laboratory, Peking University will not necessarily approve it. It's possible not to force the organization, talk and delay. The value of the existence of superior leaders is to use power to suppress you when your three outlooks are at odds.

But cryogenic ULTRACENTRIFUGES are really needed.Bovine rhodopsin is used for comparative study, which is equivalent to the basic resource of the whole experiment. The more the quantity, the better.

Without a large amount of bovine rhodopsin, Yang Rui's current project is impossible to start.

In fact, it is because foreign laboratories have found the connection between bovine rhodopsin and G protein coupled receptor that Yang Rui decided to carry out this project.

This makes bovine rhodopsin a basic material, and the more the better, the more it will consume. Unfortunately, the treatment of bovine rhodopsin is not a basic treatment

Su xiankai's early task is to understand bovine rhodopsin and produce it as much as possible.

This is very boring and necessary work.

It's a bit like the production of uranium during the development of the atomic bomb.

A large amount of uranium is needed for the research and production of atomic bomb. It is said that the atomic bomb is built on the production of uranium, and there is no problem. The heavy water reactor often mentioned in the North Korean nuclear issue is the production equipment of uranium.

However, it is very important, but this work is not easy.

Unlike the standardized factory production, Su xiankai needs to constantly adjust the parameters of various reagents, and even the experimental methods, just like doing the real questions of the college entrance examination every day, constantly doing, and trying to get high marks.

He always seems to be working on similar topics, but he always makes unexpected mistakes, which makes Su xiankaixian anxious.

"How's it going?" In recent days, Yang Rui is also very concerned about Su xiankai's work.

Su xiankai knew why, shook his head gently and said: "I still need some time. Recently, the concentration of the solution is too low. I want to raise the speed of the centrifuge a little bit and reduce the time..."

"Not for a while." Yang Rui patted Su xiankai on the shoulder and said, "let's start sending materials to fan Zhenlong group today."

"No, how can that be?" Su xiankai shook his head and said: "we have very little stock now. Fan Zhenlong has just started to do it, so there must be some mistakes. It's a waste of material time. Wait for me to improve and accumulate more stock..."

"Old Sue." Yang Rui shook his head and said: "scientific research competition is the battlefield. It is impossible to be fully prepared forever."

"I..." Su xiankai opened his mouth and said, "what if the back is broken?"

"I believe you." Yang Rui gave such a sentence.

Because, to be honest, Yang Rui didn't know how to increase the amount of bovine rhodopsin.

He has a way to point out the direction, but what Su xiankai needs now is not the direction, he wants specific experimental values, even not just numerical values, but more experience accumulated from experiments.

It's something Yang Rui can't give. All he can give you is requirements and funds.

Su xiankai's eyes were red. He looked at fan Zhenlong and said, "you'd better not waste my efforts."

"I'll try." Fan Zhenlong's honest answer makes people itch.
