Graphene has a large surface area to volume ratio and good mechanical and electrical property and biocompatibility. This study described the electrochemical deposition and reduction of graphene oxide on the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO) glass slide and electrochemical characterization of graphen-modified ITO. Cyclic voltammetry was used for the deposition and reduction of graphene oxide. The surface of graphen-coated ITO was characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispesive X-ray spectroscopy. The electrodes were evaluated by performing cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The number of cycles and scan rate greatly influenced on the coverage and the degree of reduction of graphene oxide, thus affecting the electrochemical properties of electrodes. Modification of ITO with graphene generated higher current with lower charge transfer resistance at the electrode-electrolyte interface. Glucose oxidase was immobilized on the graphene-modified ITO and has been found to successfully generate electrons by oxidizing glucose.

Copper-containig enzyme, laccase (Rhus vernicifera) was immobilized onto gold electrode using self-assembly technique and its surface properties and catalytic activities were examined. Laccase is an oxidoreductase capable to oxidize diphenols or diamines by 4-electron reduction of molecular oxygen without superoxide or peroxide intermediates. The electrode surface were modified by $\beta-mercaptopropionate$ to have a net negative charge in neutral solution and positively charged laccase (pI=9) was immobilized by electrostatic interaction. The successful immobilization was confirmed by cyclic voltammograms which showed typical surface-confined shapes and behaviors. The amount of charge to reduce the surface was similar to the charge calculated assuming the surface being covered by monolayer. The activity of the immobilized enzyme was tested by the capbility of oxidizing a substrate, ABTS (2,2-azine-bis-(3-ethylbenzthioline-6-sulfonic acid) and it was maintained for $2\~3$ days at $4^{\circ}C$. The immobilzed laccase showed about $10\~15\%$ activity compared to that in solution. The laccase-modified electrode showed the activity of elefoocatalytic reduction of oxygen in the presence of mediator, $Fe(CN)_6^{3-}$ The addtion of azide which is an inhibitor of laccase compeletly eliminated the catalytic current.

빠르고 정확한 글루코오스 농도 측정은 의료, 식품, 환경 등 다양한 산업에서 매우 중요하다. 글루코오스 산화효소를 기반으로 하는 현재 글루코오스 센서는 높은 감도와 선택성을 갖지만 온도변화나 다른 화학물 등 환경에 취약하다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 최근 비효소식 글루코오스 센서에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 금속-유기 구조체(MOFs)는 금속이온과 유기물 리간드로 구성된 결정성 다공체로, 큰 기공 크기와 비표면적, 안정성 등을 특징으로 갖는다. 대부분의 MOFs는 전기전도도가 낮지만 금속이온의 산화/환원, 리간드의 화학적 개질을 통해 전기화학분야에서도 다양하게 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 글루코오스 농도 측정을 위한 전극촉매로 다양한 금속이온과 리간드로 이루어진 MOFs를 합성했다. 표면분석을 통해 MOFs의 전기화학적 처리 전후의 구조와 성질 변화를 관찰했고 전기화학적 분석을 통해 금속이온과 리간드의 종류가 감도, 선택성 등 글루코오스 검지 성능에 주는 영향을 분석했다. 그 결과 Ni, Co 기반의 MOFs가 글루코오스에 대해 높은 감도를 보였으며 이를 통해 MOFs의 글루코오스 센서로의 응용 가능성을 확인했다.

To enlarge application field of electrolyzed acid-water(EAW) on food industry, the changes of EAW properties by storage conditions and heating were investigatet. It was showed that storing EAW in closed container is mon effective to keep up the oxidation-reduction potentials(ORP), hyperchloride content and pH than stored in opened ones. ORP of EAW stored in closed container could be kept mon than 1 month as 1,150 mV levels. Ruing heating from 2$0^{\circ}C$ to 95$^{\circ}C$, ORP was increased to 1,150 mV levels at 95$^{\circ}C$ after gradual decrease to 5$0^{\circ}C$. Tyrosinase activity was decreased approximately to 26%~35% in EAW having a 950 mV~1,140 mV ORP. Also it was confirmed that EAW has anti-browning effect as sliced apple and potato, and their juices treated with EAW had conspicous difference in their $\Delta$E value. 12 kinds of pesticides such as aldrine, capful diazinon, diedrin, $\alpha$-endosulfan $\beta$-endosulfan, endosulfan sulfate, endrin, $\alpha$-BHC, o,p'-DDT, procymidone, PCNB added in EAW were recovered from ND~73.6% comparing to ones added in distilled water. The recovered amounts of pesticides, procymidone and diazinon in lettuce after soaking in EAW were 1.12 ppm and ND, compared with those of amounts soaked in distilled water were 3.67 ppm and 3.05 ppm respectively. So, it seems that EAW has potentials to promote the degradation of pesticides.

Screen printed carbon electrodes (SPEs) modified with co-immobilized osmium-based redox polymers can be used to apply multi-detecting biosensors. In this study, we report our initial studies of multi-detecting biosensor concepts using two osmium-based redox polymers for horseradish peroxidase-mediated reduction of ${H_2}{O_2}$ coupled to glucose oxidase-mediated oxidation of glucose. We target to synthesize two osmium redox polymers of potentials use, a chloride-containing redox polymer ($E^{O'}$ + 0.520 vs. Ag/AgCl) and a methoxy-containing redox polymer $E^{O'}$ + 0.150 vs. Ag/AgCl). The former show good catalytic electrical signals with horseradish peroxidase and the latter's redox polymer is to be an effective redox mediator of glucose oxidation by glucose oxidase.

냉동하여 해동한 한우육은 냉장 쇼케이스에서 진열 판매하는 동안 육색소의 산화가 촉진되어 변색이 빠르게 이루어진다. 그 이유는 냉동과 해동이라는 물리적인 충격에 의해 근육세포 내의 효소체계가 파괴되어 MetMb 환원력이 감소한 겉과 MetMb 형성이 증가하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

Chronophin is a phosphatase responsible for the dephosphorylation of cofilin, which regulates the rearrangement of actin cytoskeleton. It is also known as a phosphatase for pyrodoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), an active form of vitamin $B_6$, and maintains the level of PLP in the cytoplasm. Since this phosphatase belongs to a HAD subfamily containing a cap domain, it is expected to undergo a conformational change for the binding of a substrate. However, the crystal structure of chronophin has a disulfide bridge between the cap and core domains preventing a movement of the cap domain against the core domain. It is possible that the disulfide bond between C91 and C221 was formed by an oxidation during the crystallization. Here, we obtained chronophin crystals under a reduced condition and determined the crystal structure. This reduced chronophin does not contain a disulfide bridge and shows a closed conformation like the oxidized form. It implies that an active chronophin binds its substrate under the closed conformation without the disulfide bond and shows a high substrate specificity in the cell.

Glucose oxidase was immobilized in polypyrrole by electrosynthesis. The enzyme had an influence on the redox properties of a complex enzyme electrode. In the cyclic voltammograms of the enazyme electrode new peaks were appeared at the potential around 0.7V vs. Ag/AgCl in additional to the typical peaks for polypyrrole. The more immobilized the stronger the peaks became. During the cycling the pH of electrolyte solution was decreased to about 4.4 The reason for that is to be the proton released from the carboxyl in the glucose oxidase in order to keep on a charge neutrality of the oxidized enzyme. This fact suggests that the new peaks in the voltammograms are caused by the redox of glucose oxidase. In the AC impedance spectrum analysis of the electrode the diffusion of electrolyte anion was limited because of chained structure of the enzyme. The faradic impedance was large since the glucose oxidase is an insulator. Therefore when glucose oxidase is entrapped the enzyme should be limited in amount. Because the growth of the polypyrrole is accompanied both charge transfer and mass transport. For the traditional electrosynthesis that means amount of enzyme present in the electrode is limited to as much as film growable.

Studies of the inactivation of a gene encoding pyruvate decarboxylase, pdc, in an ethanol-producing bacterium, Zymomonas mobilis, identified a mutant strain with 50% reduced PDC activity. To evaluate the possibility of a carbon-flux shift from an ethanol pathway toward higher value fermentation products, including pyruvate, succinate, and lactate, fermentation studies were carried out. Despite attempts to silence pdc expression in the wild-type strain ZM4 using cat-inserted pdc and pdc-deleted homologs by electroporation, the strain isolated showed partial gene activation. Fermentation experiments with the PDC mutant strain showed that the reduced expression level of PDC activity resulted in decreased rates of substrate uptake and ethanol production, together with increased pyruvate accumulation of 2.5 g l^-1 , although lactate and succinate concentrations were not significantly enhanced in these modified strains. Despite numerous attempts, no strains were isolated in which complete pdc inactivation occurred. This result indicates that the ethanol fermentation pathway of this bacterium is totally dependent on the activity of the PDC enzyme. To ensure a redox balance of intracellular NAD and NADH levels, other enzymes, such as lactate dehydrogenase for lactate, and enzymes involved in the production of succinic acid, such as pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and malic enzymes, may be needed for their increased end-product production.
