Chapter 1242

"Do you want to continue to do the project of three-dimensional structure, and do not publish the crystal structure, and then drag other laboratories?" Professor Cai asked Yang Rui about his purpose.

"Yes." Yang Rui admitted it without any disguise.

Professor Cai hesitated.

He doesn't care what happens to other laboratories that compete in scientific research.

Since it's a competition, don't think hypocritically about each other.

Top laboratories spend tens of millions of dollars a year, not a cent is used for charity, and they don't care about smashing the pot.

In particular, the scientific research competition for awards and patents is extremely cruel. Sometimes, the funds behind scientific research are even higher than the scientific research itself. The most famous one is the manned space experiment of the Soviet Union. The astronauts volunteer their lives to win the scientific research competition.

In practice, hiding scientific research achievements without publishing them immediately is the most common method. For example, when Yang Rui first saw the invention of "one pot stirring", he immediately stopped Gu Qiang from publishing his papers.

If he does not do so, the research on the results of one pot stirring will be meaningless, and everyone will be on the starting line again. For the inventor, what is the benefit of scientific research.

Although scientific research is not driven by interests, so that there is no patent for basic research, it would be too much to deprive researchers of their due interests.

g The field of protein coupled receptors is a meat and blood millstone, which is well known by every participant. It is also because of this that we join in it, either grinding into blood foam, or reshaping our body!

In weak China, Yang Rui is not qualified to be considered as a top laboratory in developed countries, and Professor Cai is not qualified to be considered for others.

He is more worried about Yang Rui, said: "you are now doing very well, and then continue to do, the pressure will not be too big?"

"There's always pressure."

"However, it's unusual for me to work on two major projects in a row, and then work on the third one. I haven't experienced this kind of pressure, but from the projects I've experienced... You have to be prepared." Professor Cai is very sincere. He really considers the problem from Yang Rui's point of view. Otherwise, even for the brand of ion channel Laboratory of Peking University, he should encourage Yang Rui to continue to tackle key problems.

Yang Rui said seriously: "I have thought about it. Although I don't know what the specific situation is, I also want to have a try."

The so-called three stages of the structure of GPCR are only three stages in the academic field, not three stages in the project.

Any stage here, as a project, is so huge that even if we want to build a laboratory with "three flowers gathering at the top", we plan to build a ten-year period.

Although Yang Rui did fast in the first two stages, in Professor Cai's opinion, he still had some element of luck. If he continued with the third stage, he would not be beautiful.

If ordinary researchers or laboratories are qualified to participate in the research of GPCR, they are qualified. If they can apply for millions or tens of millions of dollars to try to reach the top, even if they fail to reach the top, they will strengthen the laboratory and train the team.

However, for the ion channel laboratory which has been successful twice, if we try the third stage again, we will certainly get the support of all parties, get much more funds and resources, but it also means more focus and expectation.

Once the scholars can't satisfy the illusion of the followers, the pressure of all parties will also burst.

Some scholars have lost their laboratories.

Professor Cai looked at the young Yang Rui. Although he felt confident, he still did not dare to ignore him and said: "you can make achievements in the field of GPCR, well... Now you are at the forefront of the world. There is no problem in technology, but you haven't tried yet..."

He wanted to say it was too much pressure, But he thought it was inappropriate to say it, so he couldn't help stopping his words.

Yang Rui said with a smile, "I know what you mean. If I apply for the third stage project, I will definitely get a lot of money, but the requirements of the money giving organization will fall down."

"That's what I mean." Professor Cai sighed and said: "it's inevitable for laymen to lead professionals. Now you apply for funds from the 863 program, from Peking University, or even from your own funds. If you do this well, you won't have any problems. But if you are involved in other ministries and even at the national level, their demands are not like this. Not to mention that they can't do the project or even do it slowly, there will be people urging and demanding, which is not easy to cope with. "

"The pressure that should be borne is, after all, to bear. Besides, compared with the pressure to win the Nobel Prize, this kind of pressure is nothing." Yang Rui smiles."Of course, the operation of the Nobel Prize is too subtle." Professor Cai sighs here, suddenly wakes up and looks at Yang Rui.

Yang Rui shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "you won't say I'm not qualified."

"Enough... Who dares say you are not qualified." Professor Cai has never considered this problem before. The main reason is that Yang Rui is too young and the time to start scientific research is too short.

In addition, Yang Rui's student identity is also an obstacle.

Although in history, there are talents in their twenties who have won the Nobel Prize, that was before World War II. After World War II, it is much more difficult to win the Nobel Prize. Especially after the 1960s and 1970s, the popularity of the Nobel Prize has been greatly improved, and its popularity among the ordinary people has been greatly enhanced, which makes the judgment of winning the Nobel Prize increasingly strict, It's kind of like a lifetime achievement award.

Professor Cai and others usually think highly of Yang Rui's achievements. However, when it comes to the Nobel Prize, this topic becomes a bit strange.

To be honest, in the 1980s, Chinese researchers didn't understand the Nobel prize selection mechanism clearly. In addition, Professor Cai didn't think about all kinds of self dwarfing thoughts.

However, if you think about it carefully, the PCR developed by Yang Rui has obviously become the standard configuration of major laboratories all over the world, showing a surprisingly wide range of prospects, which can be called a change in the way of biological research. Both the 100% clear conformation and the newly completed crystal structure of GPCR projects have been fished out from the blood and tears of countless researchers, which is undoubtedly a Nobel Prize achievement.

Are the achievements of three Nobel prize levels qualified for Nobel Prize?

Professor Cai wry smile repeatedly: "did not expect, did not pay attention, did not pay attention, you ran to the top of the whole industry."

"Professor Cai." Yang Rui didn't follow Professor Cai's feeling, yelled and said: "you say, can I have a try and impact the Nobel Prize?"

"Impact? How to impact? "

"As you said just now, the operation of the Nobel Prize is very delicate, and I also want to know if I can enjoy it." Yang Rui's words are more euphemistic, but they are quite clear.

Professor Cai's eyes widened and his voice naturally decreased. He said, "I didn't expect that you still have this heart."

"I thought about it when I made PCR, but at that time, the conditions were not very mature." Yang Rui made no secret of his desire and said: "I know that in some foreign countries, for the sake of the Nobel Prize, the state comes forward to help operate. There are also some scholars who make a lot of friends for the Nobel Prize. Professor darbeco recommended me once before, but he just ran with me. This time, I thought, can I get some fairer treatment? "

"I know what you said. In order to win the Nobel Prize for synthetic bovine insulin, Premier Zhou came forward... "Professor Cai thought.

Yang Rui got more information than Professor Cai at that time. He had a plan early and said, "Professor Cai, can we talk about this with Academician Zhu? Goodbye, Mr. Qiao."

"Good boy, you are waiting for me here." Professor Cai suddenly woke up and said, "you have to find Lao Zhu. What are you doing when you come to see me again?"

Yang Rui laughed twice and said, "no matter what, I am also a member of Peking University. If I become a member of Peking University, Peking University is not the same honor."

"Well, I like that sentence." Professor Cai patted his thigh, and when he spoke again, he revealed his real idea: "whether it can be done or not, there is nothing wrong with trying."
