Chapter 325: The Qi of a Scholar

If the journal is gone, it doesn't mean that people can stop going.

Yang Rui took the letter sent back to him by "Medicinal Chemistry", stuffed his handwritten paper into the envelope, walked quickly to the office building of the Department of Biology, and by the way, found a familiar senior girl, and asked: "Professor Wang Yong is from our Department of Biology, right? ”

The girl glanced at Yang Rui, her little heart skipped twice, lowered her head and said, "It's from the Department of Biology, and molecular biology should also be taught." ”

"Do you know which office he's in?"

"I'll ask you. The senior sister didn't feel troublesome at all, and took the initiative to ask in the office next to her, walked out, showed a bright smile, and said, "The third office on the left hand of the third floor, the office has a door number." ”

"Thank you, senior. Yang Rui smiled and beckoned, and walked upstairs quickly, leaving a happy smile for the senior sister.

If you are handsome, the world will become much more harmonious.

A handsome smile can be used as hard currency.

In front of Professor Wang Yong's office, Yang Rui took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door three times.

No one responded.

Yang Rui waited for more than ten seconds and knocked three more times.

"Come in. Professor Wang's voice was a little lazy, but it was still a bass in class.

Got the right place.

Yang Rui pinched the envelope in his hand, gently pushed the door open, and said, "Professor Wang, I am Yang Rui, who majored in biological sciences. ”

"Oh......" Professor Wang lowered his head and looked at the literature, and asked without lifting it, "What's the matter?"

Teaching this creature has always been very busy, mainly because there are so many things that can be done - reading literature, reviewing reports, doing practical work, writing papers, substitute teaching, peer reviewing, participating in academic and non-academic conferences, giving advice or advice to units at all levels, and participating in various political or economic activities......

When any person reads books and does research and reaches the title of professor, regardless of whether his level and behavior are in line with people's perception of professors, this person's life is destined not to be spent in boredom, on the contrary, any professor will feel that there is not enough time, and the so-called killing time will not happen to a creature like a professor at all.

In fact, most professors live a life of racing against time, and it is very normal to read literature when they meet, or meet when they read literature.

Yang Rui is very familiar with this way of life and attitude to life, and stood up and signed up: "I took your inorganic chemistry class two days ago, and you said that you want me to show you my paper published in JMC......

"Are you Yang Rui from the Department of Biology?" Wang Yong raised his head suddenly, immediately lifted his glasses, and asked confirmatively: "It's you." ”

Yang Ruixin said: I said that I was Yang Rui from the Department of Biology.

On the surface, Yang Rui still nodded his head innocently.

"Come and sit, come and sit. Professor Wang no longer looked like a half-dead employee of a state-owned enterprise, but stood up with a smile and wanted to move a chair for Yang Rui.

"I'll come by myself, you sit. Yang Rui always didn't want a professor in his fifties to move a chair for himself, so he grabbed the front and moved the chair over, sat opposite Professor Wang, and then said in a thoughtful tone: "I just went to the library and wanted to borrow this issue of JMC, but it seems that I was borrowed in advance......"

"Yes, yes, I borrowed it. I came back and thought, you're a student, you can't borrow periodicals from the library, so you used your library card, and by the way, your article is here. Wang Yong picked up the document he had just read and handed it to Yang Rui.

It is the English version of Medicinal Chemistry.

Yang Rui's paper on "potassium channel" is placed in the middle of the journal, which is a very ordinary position, but for a journal with an impact factor of more than 5, any position is good.

The lead print of the journal still seems to exude a faint smell, with a 16-page page, about 100 pages just over, which is a restrained number of pages for a monthly magazine, and there are about 8 papers in it.

In other words, a high-end journal like this will produce about 40 impact factors and get about 40 citations in a month.

Broadly speaking, it's a lonely world, and there may be thousands or tens of thousands of people reading your paper, but in the end, only five or six may be inspired by it. ,

But for those of you who are out of this world, it's a buzzing place.

5 impact factors, at least equivalent to a holiday banquet attended by five people. And this banquet will eventually radiate thousands of families over time - X-rays that once had only a few impact factors have become a mass product, microwaves that once had only a few impact factors have been made into microwave ovens, and bovine insulin amino acid sequencing that once had only a few impact factors has benefited hundreds of millions of people......

The radiation surface of the "potassium channel" is also very extensive, which is why it was quickly noticed by countless research institutions after its discovery. Wang Yong had already read through Yang Rui's article, but his attention was shifted, he looked at Yang Rui and flipped through it, and said: "The idea of the paper is very good, but I think that you are a little too taken for granted about the intervention of G protein, the hormone-sensitive adenylyl cyclase system is very complex, the instability of the components, diversity, low concentration, and the hormone regulation of enzymatic activity require the exact positioning of appropriate membrane components...... ”

This brings us to the realm of academic discussion?

Yang Rui glanced at Professor Wang's expression, and he was really more serious than in class.

Yang Rui rubbed his eyebrows and said: "I have referred to some literature, and I personally feel that many of the current progress has made it possible for some real Yàn to succeed, such as the composition of GS, the oligomeric structure of 45,000 and 35,000 Dalton subunits, and the Gi is 41,000 and 35,000, in addition, although the third subunit has not been rigorously verified, it has also been proved that Zài is stored in two proteins...... The high-affinity sites of the A subunit of each G protein to the guanine nucleotide conjugate have also been well understood......"

Professor Wang originally raised questions with a critical attitude, and the impact factor cannot represent a qiē, some people can publish papers with an impact factor of 8, but they are still dumbfounded by ordinary graduate students at academic conferences, and in the research process, there are many theories that cannot be self-consistent for the time being or can never be self-consistent, and they cannot be given up.

Professor Wang also wanted to admonish Yang Rui first out of concern for Yang Rui and the habits of the times.

However, Yang Rui's answer was obviously 12 points beyond the professor's expectations.

Of course, this seems like a good study compared to the papers he has already written.

Professor Wang then stopped talking and listened carefully to Yang Rui's narration.

Yang Rui was so difficult to ride a tiger that he couldn't stop halfway through his speech, so he slowed down his speech, carefully paid attention to the choice of words and sentences, and said slowly as if he was making a report.

Professor Wang listened and thought about it, and he didn't think he was slow.

In the south-facing office, the sun is abundant, heating up the cold air.

Yang Rui drove to the middle of the slope on an icy day, and he couldn't stop if he wanted to, so in order not to say the results that had not yet appeared, he had to say more nonsense to sort out and consider the language.

Under the impetus of Professor Wang, it took Yang Rui almost 30 minutes to fall down such a big slope, and he was sweating all over his body, which was harder than the graduation defense of undergraduates.

The professor was still unsatisfied, seeing that Yang Rui stopped, he didn't rush to speak, first moistened his throat with a cup, then got up and took a white porcelain teacup, scalded it with boiling water, then brewed tea, and personally served it to Yang Rui, saying: "Every time I use it, I use a sterilizer to sterilize, 121 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, to ensure that it is clean." ”

121 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, which is higher than the standards of some pharmaceutical factories, is another example of relying on mountains and water to eat water.

"Thank you, Professor. Yang Rui smiled and took a sip of tea gently.

After a pause, the professor said, "It seems that I was rash, you have a research on G protein, and you did it in the gel room of Old Tang?"

The unit on Yang Rui's dissertation is the Gel Real Room of Peking University, and sometimes he writes directly about the Tang Concentration Real Room.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "I can't say that I have researched, but I have a rough understanding, and I get very few real yàn numbers, so I can be regarded as doing it easily......"

As Yang Rui said, the application of G protein is very wide, and after 30 years, there are still people who specialize in this, and they have not studied it completely.

In the 80s, G protein was the frontier of research, Professor Wang himself did not do it, but he read a lot of literature, and he was quite interested in it, so he couldn't help but ask again: "A small number of real yàn jù is also meaningful, specifically ......"

In any field, new and important cutting-edge research points emerge every year, and it is impossible for researchers to leave their research fields behind and conduct experiments specifically to understand a certain research point, but curiosity is inevitable, and Professor Wang's questioning is also natural. This kind of communication is even more common among researchers.

Yang Rui didn't really do the real yàn of g protein, and he was suddenly a little wolf. However, his mind was full of information and literature, and G protein had indeed been contacted and studied, and after three or five sentences, he slowly eased up, and spoke in an even and orderly manner.

Professor Wang listened to this, his heart became itchy, and he chased after Yang Rui and said, "Where is the number jù? You can rest assured, my research direction is not this, it is purely understanding, pure understanding. ”

"Then I'll bring the number jù tomorrow. "A professor has said this, and Yang Rui is not good at not giving face.

Of course, that is, the ordinary academic number jù such as g protein can be taken out, and whoever asks him for PCR-related number jù will not give it to tear his face.

Wang Yong was more urgent than Yang Rui imagined, opened the drawer and took out a bunch of keys and said: "Look at the number first, otherwise, you won't be able to sleep in the afternoon." ”

He couldn't help but pull Yang Rui to the real yàn room.

When he arrived at the bottom of the real room, Wang Yong was embarrassed to meet Tang Ji and said, "You go up and get it, I'll wait for you." ”

Yang Rui smiled, went upstairs to get a notebook, found an outdated paper in his mind, compared and copied a few lines and counts, took it down, and roughly explained it to the professor.

Wang Yong was like a bear stealing honey, ignoring the many students who came and went, and sat on the steps in front of the door, counting jù in rows and counting jù in rows.

The number given by Yang Rui cannot be said to be innovative at the level of 84 years, but can only be said to be not lagging behind.

However, in this era of no computer retrieval, it is not easy to find the number that does not lag behind from the vast number of papers. And it's even harder to find a paper that is still good to read after 30 years.

What Yang Rui subconsciously found was a fairly representative number of experience. Although the number jù itself has been modified by Yang Rui, there are still some things that can be seen from it.

Wang Yong was obviously stunned, and it wasn't until a large number of students poured over after class that Wang Yong suddenly woke up, and hurriedly stuffed the number jù paper to Yang Rui, saying: "You should do a good job of doing research in this area, the number jù is very good and very valuable...... I won't get involved in g-protein in the short term, give you half a year...... I'll wait for you for 8 months, and if you can't use all the numbers well, I'll probably have to do the relevant real. ”

The real number of one-third of the page has already aroused Wang Yong's research interest, he was afraid that Yang Rui would not know the value, so he focused on explaining, and said: "If it is not for the study of potassium channels is very meaningful, and you have done half of it, I will advise you to switch to G protein immediately, of course, it is also very valuable to link the two things, I am afraid that the two sides will not rely on the ...... How much money did you spend on what you did in Old Tang's room?"

"Not too much. "Yang Rui is not good at giving specific figures, and the funds in the real room also have to be checked.

Wang Yong didn't ask, thought for a while, and said, "If you don't have enough funds, you can come to me to have a look, and I'll find a way to get some for you." ”

Yang Rui opened his mouth and stammered, not knowing how to deal with it at all.

Although the funds are used in exchange for results, Wang Yong's mention is still far beyond the scope of the normal use of funds.

Yang Rui looked at Wang Yong's expression, and suddenly felt a little strange, and whispered: "Professor, I am already in Professor Tang's real room, and it is not appropriate to use your funds again." ”

"Declare in advance, I didn't want to dig you, you used Tang Zhong's funds, of course it's his people, and I didn't want you to come to my real room. However, I'm afraid that Tang's funds have been very tight recently, if you don't have enough funds, you can cooperate with me, if you are embarrassed to say, I can talk to Tang. Professor Wang paused for a moment, looked left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Would you like to come to my room?"

"Professor Wang......"

"Just kidding, kidding. Wang Yong was not good at pulling people directly, and after waving his hand again and again, he sighed regretfully and said: "If you have any questions, you can come to me, homework or not homework, we can discuss each other and promote each other." ”

"Thank you, Professor Wang. ”

"Thank you, thank you, it should also be me thank you, let me see this. Professor Wang handed the number jù in his hand to Yang Rui, and said: "Keep it well, don't write it on this kind of manuscript paper casually, what if you lose it, it is best to prepare a hard notebook, the kind of plastic waterproof, specially used to remember the jù." ”

"Okay. That, and the inorganic chemistry exam......"

"Count you 90 points, exempt from the test. ”

"I still want to take the test. Yang Rui was a little embarrassed and said, "I still want to apply for school funding next year." ”

The school still pays more attention to the results, and Yang Rui can apply for funding in the first year, which has a lot to do with his status as a champion.

A score of 90 is excellent, but for Yang Rui, a score of 90 still affects his grades, and he has already learned inorganic chemistry thoroughly, so he naturally does not need to be exempted from the test.

Professor Wang was stunned for a moment, smiled and responded, looking at Yang Rui's eyes more eagerly, as if a golden retriever had seen canned dog food.

"It's a pity that it's in the real yàn room of the Tang Collection. ”

Before leaving, Professor Wang said, "Do you know that there is a visiting scholar from the United States in our department? ”

Wang Yong went to the United States once before, and was deeply touched, and after he came back, he invited professors from the University of California, Berkeley to come to China for exchange for a period of time.

Recently, Professor Wang Yong has made full use of the dividends of visiting scholars from the United States to bring Ali, and he also thought of the other party for the first time at this moment.

He felt that it was not good for him to fight against Tang Zhong alone, but if he added an American scholar, the weight would be different.

Now is the time for the fever of going abroad, students from schools like Peking University and Tsinghua University, many of them have the desire and ability to study abroad, and American scholars are simply magnets to attract students.
