Chapter 452 Research on biomagnetic navigation ability [4]
"I didn't expect that a small fruit fly could have such a big effect." Cen Li nodded clearly and stepped forward to take a look, "Now, what is being studied here?"
"Oh, it's about research on biomagnetic navigation capabilities."
Yang Jinghe nodded and said, "In 2000, Chinese scholars Thrtenritz and others proposed that cryptochrome protein ry may be a magnetoreceptor. Now we are doing experiments based on this speculation, but so far we can't find any clues."
"Cryptochrome proteinry?" Cen Li asked again.
"Well, ry protein is commonly found in the retina of animals and can generate free radical pairs under light excitation."
Yang Jinghe was not impatient and gave a detailed explanation to Cen Li’s question, “The free radical hypothesis holds that there is a light-sensitive protein in the organism that will transfer electrons after being stimulated by light of a specific wavelength, forming a temporary free radical pair.
Its state will change rapidly according to changes in the magnetic field, thereby generating signals that can be recognized by the nervous system and ultimately converted into directional instructions for organisms."
"I see."
Cen Li nodded in understanding and continued, "So, now we want to confirm whether the magnetic induction of fruit flies is related to cryptochrome protein ry?"
Yang Jinghe smiled and nodded, "Senior Xiaoli is indeed very talented in biology, and she can do it with just a few clicks."
Cen Li thought thoughtfully for a moment, and then said, "In this case, I wonder if the cryptochromes in fruit flies can be removed to see if they still have the ability to recognize the phase, and whether they can initially
Determining the role of cryptochrome protein RY?"
After Cen Li spoke, the entire laboratory fell into silence for an instant, and all the researchers looked up at her.
She was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment, "Ah, you must have thought of this, I was the one who said too much..."
"Oh my God, we didn't think of that!"
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, one of the female researchers stepped forward and hugged Cen Li tightly, "Little sister, thank you so much for pointing out the research direction for us. Your idea is really great!"
"Yes, we have never thought of such a simple method."
Another researcher was also full of excitement and gratitude. He looked at Yang Jinghe and said, "Researcher Yang, where did you bring this savior from?"
You know, they have been thinking about this experiment for several years without any breakthrough. As soon as Cen Li proposed this idea, if the results really come out, although it may not be immediately confirmed that it is really related to the ry protein, it will definitely be a very
Big breakthrough!
Yang Jinghe didn't expect that bringing Cen Li here would help the laboratory a lot, and he was stunned for a moment.
Only then did he come back to his senses and said with the same surprise, "This is the little girl brought back by Professor Cai. She is Cen Li who developed the dan test box before."
"Ah, Cen Li, it turns out you are Cen Li!"
At this time, the entire laboratory members were excited, looking at Cen Li with more and more admiration, "Just saying that you are so smart, little sister, it turns out that Ben Ali has two brushes!"
"Sister Xiaoli is really our lucky star!"
As the female researcher spoke, she looked at Cen Li and said, "Sister Xiaoli, you came up with this idea. Why don't you join us in this research?"
"Yes, yes, maybe you can provide us with more inspiration in the experiment." Another researcher also persuaded expectantly.
