Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs) on the fungicidal activity against damping-off (Pythium ultimum) with N-phenylbenzenesulfonamide and N-phenyl-2-thienylsulfonamide analogues (1-34) were studied quantitatively using CoMFA (comparative molecular field analysis) and CoMSIA (comparative molecular similarity indeces analysis) methodologies. On the whole, the statistical qualities of CoMSIA models with field fit alignment (FF1-FF5) were slightly higher than that of atom based fit alignment (AF1-AF5) but, the deviations of statistical quality between two alignments in case of CoMFA models were slightly lower. The statistical results of CoMFA and CoMSIA model showed that the optimized CoMSIA model (FF1: $r_{cv.}^2\;(q^2)=0.674$ & $r_{ncv.}^2=0.964$) for damping-off is better predictability and fitness for fungicidal activities than CoMFA model (AF5: $r_{cv.}^2\;(q^2)=0.616$ & $r_{ncv.}^2=0.930$). The fungicidal activities according to the information of the CoMSIA (FF1) model were dependence upon the electrostatic and hydrophobic field of the N-phenylbenzene sulfonamide analogues. Therefore, from the results of graphical analyses on the contour maps with CoMSIA (FF3) model, it is expected that the characters of R4-substituent on the N-phenyl ring as hydrophobic and hydrogen bond acceptor will be contributed to the fungicidal activity against damping-off.

Microcystis (Cyanobacteria, Chroococcales) is one of the green tide-causing organisms in freshwaters, and some species produce microcystin that is hepatotoxin. In the aspects of freshwater quality controls and health concerns, therefore it is necessary to manage the harmful organisms. In the present study, RNA polymerase beta subunit (rpoB) gene sequences of Microcystis were determined and characterized in order to use a potential marker for the molecular detections of the species. Microcystis rpoB showed high divergences of DNA similarity and genetic distances when compared with those of 16S rRNA, and the molecular differences were statistically significant (Student t-test, p<0.05). Parsimony analyses showed the rpoB gene evolves more than 2-fold faster than 16S rRNA. In addition, phylogeny of the rpoB gene separated each M. aeruginosa strain more clearly compared with a 16S rRNA tree. This study found that the order Chroococcales, including Microcystis, has approximately two rRNA operons and single copy of the rpoB gene in their chromosomes. These results suggest that the rpoB gene is a useful marker for the molecular phylogenetics and the detection of Microcystis.

A humic acid(HA, Aldrich Co) sample was subjected to ultrafiltration for molecular size fractionation and three fractions of different nominal size($F_1$: 1,000-10,000 daltons; $F_2$: 10,000-50,000 daltons; $F_3$: 100,000-300,000 daltons) were obtained. The structural characteristics of the size-fractionated HA were analyzed using their IR and solid state C-13 NMR spectral data, and the carboxylate group contents of the humic acids were determined using their pH titration data. The $^7F_0-{^5}D_0$ excitation spectra of Eu(III) complexes of the size-fractionated mgHA in aqueous solution were acquired($[Eu(III)]=1.0{\times}10^{-4}mol\;L^{-1}$, $(HA)=470-970mg\;L^{-1}$) at pH 5.0 using a pulsed tunable laser system, in which metal binding properties of the size-fractionated HA were elucidated and compared on another. Characterization of the IR and C-13 NMR spectral data indicated that the fraction($F_3$) with molecules of larger size were primarily aliphatic, while the fractions($F_1$, $F_2$) with smaller molecules of less than 50,000 daltons were predominantly aromatic. Titration data were consistent with an increase in the number of carboxylate groups per unit mass as molecular size became smaller. The $^7F_0-{^5}D_0$ excitation spectral data of Eu(III)-humate complexes showed that the peak maxima on these spectra were shifted toward lower energies with increasing molecular size of HA, indicating the higher degree of bindings of the Eu in the molecules of larger size. We also discussed the relationship of the lower energy shifts of the maximum peaks with increasing the molecular size of HA with the structural differences of the size-fractionated HA.

1. 서론 : 분석화학의 중요한 과제중 하나 고효율(high efficiency)과 고해상도(high resolution)를 가지고서 혼합물에서 분자나 입자의 분리능을 개선하는 것과 낮은 수준의 농도에서 이런 분획들(fractions)을 정량화 하는 것이다. 현재의 추세는 분리하고자 하는 분자의 상한선을 증가시키는 것이 순수과학과 산업에서 중요하게 되었다. 이런 분리 기술의 응용은 거대분자(macromolecules)와 입자들(particles)인 cell fragments, plasmides, chromosomes, liposomes, synthetic polymers 등에 적용되고 있는데, 고전적인 분석방법으로는 한외여과, 원심분리, 크기배제 크로마토그래피 등이 있지만 시간이 걸리고 해상도와 효율에 제한이 있다.

Styrax japonicus is a deciduous shrub or a small tree belonging to the family Styracaceae. Since 1990, a rust fungus has continuously been found on S. japonicus leaves across the country. The morphological characteristics of the rust fungus were most consistent with those of Pucciniastrum styracinum reported on Styrax obassia in Japan. The species identification was confirmed by molecular phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer and large subunit rDNA sequences. The current study provides mycological information with morphological measurements and molecular phylogenetic data of P. styracinum found on S. japonicus in Korea. Therefore, this is the first confirmed report on the presence of P. styracinum on S. japonicus in Korea.

The stereoselective synthesis of chiral terminal epoxides is of immense academic and industrial interest due to their utility as versatile starting materials as well as chiral intermediates. In this study, new dinuclear chiral Co (salen) complexes bearing gallium-, indium- and tallium-chloride have been synthesized and characterized. The mass and EXAFS spectra provided the direct evidence of formation of dinuclear complex. Their catalytic activity and selectivity have been demonstrated for the asymmetric ring opening of various terminal epoxides having ether or ester groups by hydrolytic kinetic resolution technology. The easily prepared dimeric complexes exhibited very high enantioselectivity for the asymmetric ring opening of epoxides with $H_2O$ nucleophile, providing enantiomerically enriched terminal epoxides (> 99% ee). The dimeric structured chiral salen showed remarkably enhanced reactivity and may be employed substantially lower loadings than its monomeric analogues. The system described in this work is very efficient for the synthesis of chiral epoxide and 1,2-diol intermediates

유기발광소자는 유연 소자로의 적용, 자체 발광 등의 장점으로 차세대 디스플레이로서 각광받고 있다. 하지만 유기발광소자는 유기물을 발광층으로 하고 있기 때문에 수분에 취약하다는 단점이 있다. 그래서 봉지 기술(encapsulation)을 필요로 한다. 널리 알려진 방법으로는 유리로 소자를 감싸고 내부에 흡습제를 충진하여 수분 투습을 줄일 수 있다. 하지만 위 기술을 사용할 경우 유기발광소자의 장점인 유연 소자의 적용이 어렵다. 따라서 박막 봉지 기술을 이용하면 보다 얇은 두께의 소자 제작이 가능하고 유연 소자의 적용 역시 가능해진다. 박막 코팅을 이용한 봉지 기술 중 화학적 증착법(Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD)이나 물리적 증착법(Physical Vapor Deposition, PVD)을 이용하는 방법이 널리 알려져 있지만 원자층 증착법(Atomic Layer Deposition, ALD)을 이용하면 보다 낮은 두께의 치밀한 박막을 제작 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 원자층 증착법을 응용한 분자층 증착법(Molecular Layer Deposition, MLD)을 이용하여 Trimethylaluminum과 Ethylene glycol을 순차적으로 주입함으로써 Alucone 유기 박막을 제작하고 유기발광소자의 봉지 기술로의 적용을 위해 투과 방지막 특성에 관하여 분석했다. 박막 봉지 기술로서 적용하기 위해 제작된 투과 방지막은 원자층 증착법으로 Al2O3무기 박막을 제작하고 분자층 증착법으로 Alucone 박막을 순차적으로 증착하였다. 이를 Ca를 이용하여 전도도를 측정하고, 투습도를 계산하여 투과 방지막 특성을 분석하였다. Alucone 박막은 우수한 투과 방지막 특성을 가지지는 못하지만 적층 구조로 제작함으로써 두 쌍의 Alucone/Al2O3일때, $6.07{\times}10^{-2}g/m^2day$의 투습도를 보여주고 있다. Alucone 박막의 존재는 수분이나 산소의 투과 경로 길이를 늘려줌으로써 Alucone/Al2O3 박막의 투과방지 특성이 향상되는 것으로 사료된다.

NPT ensemble을 이용하여 Joule-Thomson 반전 곡선 (Joule-Thomson inversion curve, JTIC)를 구하는 기존의 모의실험 방법들과는 달리, 본 연구에서는 NVT 분자동역학 모의실험을 이용하여 JTIC를 구하는 방법을 개발하고, 이 방법을 이용하여 아르곤 기체의 JTIC를 구할 수 있음을 보인다. 본 연구 결과를 실험 및 다른 이론들과 비교, 분석한 결과, 낮은 온도에서의 JTIC는 실험 및 이론 결과와 유사한 반면, 높은 온도에서는 일정 정도의 차이를 나타냄을 알 수 있다. 이 차이는 분자동역학 모의실험에 사용하는 적은 입자 수와 모의실험 시간, 그리고 curve fitting 방법 등에 기인하는 것으로 여겨진다. 또한 본 연구를 통하여 NVT 분자동역학 모의실험 방법만 가능한, EDISON 계산화학 프로그램 중 하나인 "Mixed LJ(12-6) particles MD"가 JTIC를 구하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있고, 이를 통해 학부생들이 열역학의 기본 개념을 이해하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.
