Professor Cai's office, a new tank of goldfish, looks quite spiritual, swimming back and forth, from time to time to touch the water plants in the tank.

Professor Cai looked down at the blue and white water tank, leaving a bit of broken corn between his fingers. When he saw Yang Rui coming in, he said with a smile, "sit down first, wait for me to wash my hands. We have to hurry up. I'm going to have a meeting in the City this afternoon. If you hadn't called, I would have started just now."

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

Professor Cai threw out all the broken corn in his hand and washed his hands in the basin behind the door. Then he found that Yang Rui didn't speak. He couldn't help saying, "why don't you speak?"

"You sit over here, I'll tell you, the law does not spread six ears." Yang Rui smiles.

"Hey." Professor Cai was amused by him, wiped his hands, sat opposite Yang Rui and said, "well, it's mysterious. What happened again."

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

"Oh, where does joy come from?"

Yang Rui unfolded his folder and put the crystal structure diagram of GPCR in front of Professor Cai. Under the puzzled eyes of the other party, he whispered: "two weeks ago, the ion channel laboratory completed the second stage research of GPCR and obtained the crystal structure diagram of GPCR."

"Yes?" Professor Cai obviously hasn't changed from a fish feeding man.

"This is the crystal structure of GPCR. Our second phase of research is complete. " Yang ruidun, in Professor Cai's more puzzled expression, said: "I organized a triple repeated experiment. At present, Gu Qiang's repeated experiment has been completed. The progress of the other two groups of repeated experiments is about 50% and 75% respectively, and there is no obvious omission."

"Oh, eh... Ah! It's done? Is it really done? " Professor Cai used a variety of onomatopoeia to confirm Yang Rui's meaning. He could not help but stand up and look at the crystal structure diagram.

"Here's the data." Yang Rui put another page of printing paper on the side. The crystal structure of GPCR was only conjectured before. Before it was made, human beings didn't know what it looked like. Therefore, we must cooperate with the data to see whether it matches the conjecture.

It's like someone finally catches a ghost. How can you prove that it's a ghost, not something else? First of all, it depends on whether it meets the human definition or conjecture of ghosts, for example, whether there are entities, shadows, whether it can speak, and whether it has magic

Only when all the conjectures are consistent can further classification be made. Botanists can judge whether a chrysanthemum is a ghost or not.

To determine the crystal structure of GPCR, we need to use a similar method, mainly to see whether various data are consistent with previous tests.

It is at this moment that the achievements of countless scholars who died under the blood and flesh millstone of Wang Qi have played a role.

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

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

Yang Rui was startled and called out: "Professor Cai?"

"Don't make a noise. I'll count." Professor Cai snorted and breathed again. He buried his head between his legs, his face expressionless and his eyes unfocused.

Yang Rui was speechless for a while. Why do you have to do mental arithmetic? There is a calculator on the desk. Besides, you participated in the mental arithmetic contest when you were a child? Is it the shadow area of other children?

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Professor Cai finally took back his "strange" yoga posture. With the focus of his eyes, he looked at Yang Rui.

Yang Rui rubbed his face and said with a bitter smile, "when I did it, I was also very surprised. That's why I did the triple repeated experiment."

"Repeated experiments have been made?" Professor Cai has actually heard the answer, but he still wants to confirm it.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "Gu Qiang did it himself. I watched it all the way. Although I did it five times, I still did it."

It's a large system experiment. It's five times over. Although it's a little too much, it's still within the normal value.

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

"Yes."

"Are you sure?" Professor Cai is not very reassured about unfamiliar researchers.

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

Professor Cai nodded slowly and said, "I don't know much about GPCR. You are the authority in this respect. If you can be sure, then I have no problem.""I can confirm." Yang Rui didn't hit a single one.

"Good, good..." Professor Cai clapped his legs and was very excited, but he didn't know where to start. After thinking for a long time, he asked, "I remember that the funds haven't been paid to you, right? Is it the remaining funds in the first stage? How much did it cost? "

"So far, half a million dollars have not been used up." Yang Rui said and laughed.

Although Professor Cai expected that he would not spend much money, he was still stunned and repeated: "the crystal structure of GPCR will be made with us $500000?"

"Too fast. It's still the cost of repeated experiments. " Yang Rui described Gu Qiang's "strong luck" and said, "if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was watching a movie."

"This luck is good enough..." Professor Cai hesitated for a moment, asked: "you did the test, won't there be fraud?"

50 If Yang Rui hadn't said it, 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 are doing repeated experiments in one experimental group. When they are finished, they should be able to determine. In addition, Professor Feng Junming was asked by me to do horizontal comparison, and he was also asked to do later verification. "

Different from Su xiankai and Yang Rui, who recruited from other places, man Hai, Tao Xuelin and Feng Junming are original professors of Peking University and scholars familiar to Professor Cai. They are able to repeat experiments, which naturally makes Professor Cai feel at ease.

As soon as Professor Cai listened to Yang Rui's arrangement, he knew that there was no problem in all probability. He was a little embarrassed and said, "don't blame me for my thoughtfulness. It's really unexpected."

"I understand. Although the plan was made by me, Gu Qiang did it all at once, which scared me. He didn't even make any changes in the middle. " Yang Rui's half true and half false answer.

Professor Cai sighed: "if you can make a one-time solution, it also shows that the foundation is solid and the preparation is sufficient. What our researchers lack most is this spirit. Well, let me see. While you are free these days, you can give a report to our teachers and students in Peking University... "

"Professor Cai, I'm here today to report more than that." Yang Rui interrupted Professor Cai's excitement.

"Oh? You said

"I wonder if we can keep the crystal structure of GPCR secret."

"Confidential?" Professor Cai was puzzled and said, "this is basic research. It doesn't make much sense to keep it secret."

"But if we release the results, the laboratories that are now conducting crystal structure research will immediately turn to the third stage of high-resolution three-dimensional structure research..." Yang Rui said here, pause for a moment, let Professor Cai digest slightly, and then said: "as far as we know, some laboratories have started to do three-dimensional structure research in advance, Their research in this area is still ahead of us, but they are lack of key data and do it slowly. There are some pits that can not be filled, but.... "

"If we publish the crystal structure of GPCR, the first thing we can benefit from is the laboratories that have set about three-dimensional structure ahead of time." Professor Cai didn't need Yang Rui to finish. He could not help looking up and down at Yang Rui. If it wasn't announced, it would be a huge pit.

He doesn't worry that someone can do it ahead of time. Just because one person is lucky enough to pass the customs doesn't mean that someone can do it again. In fact, within half a year, there will be a top laboratory, and the news that some achievements have been obtained has already been regarded as rapid progress.
