The role of the active oxygens on plasmid DNA damage by carbonyl compounds derived from Maillard reaction was investigated. Plasmid DNA extracted from E. coli Hb1O1 was reacted with carbonyl compounds, such as glyoxal, methyl glyoxal, dihydroxyacetone, diacetyl, glyceraldehyde, glycolaldehyde and furfural with and without the active oxygen scavengers at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours, and then the degree of damage was determined by using 1 ％ agarose gel electro-phoresis. All of the carbonyl compounds except furfural caused to damage of DNA. Among these, glyoxal, methyl glyoxal and dihydroxyacetone markedly induced the damage of DNA. On the other hand, the DNA damage by the carbonyl compounds was greatly inhibited by catalase, superoxide dismutase and $\alpha$-tocopherol it is considered that the damage of DNA is due to active oxygens, such as singlet oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion generated during the autoxidation of carbonyl compounds.

In this study aluminum isopropyl oxide ($Al(O-i-Pr)_3$) was supported on the amine-functionalized surface of silica to synthesize high molecular weight (MW) polylactide (PLA), and it was tested for PLA polymerization behaviors. A silica was funtionalized with silane compound having amine groups, then in-situ treated with $Al(O-i-Pr)_3$. $Al(O-i-Pr)_3$ attached to amine group on silica showed activity only in the presence of MAO (methyl aluminoxane). At the polymerization temperature of $115^{\circ}C$, the conversion and the MW of PLA were increased as the amount of silane was increased. At the polymerization temperature of $130^{\circ}C$, the conversion was decreased while the MW was increased drastically and reached to MW 44000 g/mol when the amine concentration was 3.0 mmol/g. A bimodal type GPC curve was shown at the polymerization temperature of $115^{\circ}C$. As the amount of amine group increased, the peaks of GPC curve were merged. At the polymerization of $130^{\circ}C$, a unimodal GPC curve was shown. $Al(O-i-Pr)_3$ supported on amine-functionalized silica was able to produce higher MW PLA with enhanced activity compared to homogeneous $Al(O-i-Pr)_3$.

The present study was attempted to investigate the mutagenicities of carbonyl compounds(methyl glyoxal, glyoxal, diacetyl, dihydroxyacetone, glycolaldehyde, glyceraldehyde and furfural) derived from Maillard reaction toward Salmonella typhimurium TA 100(base-substitution mutant) without metabolic activation . And for further Investigation of mutagenicity mechanism including desmutagenicity, active oxygen scavengers (cysteine, ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane, catalase, ascorbic acid) and reducing agents (glutathione, sodium bisulfite) were also used. Among carbonyl compounds tested, methyl glyoxal, glyoxal, dihydroxyacetone, glycolaldehyde and glyceraldehyde exhibited mutagenicities, and methyl glyoxal showed the strongest mutagenic activity. On the other hand , the mutagenicities of carbonyl compounds were significantly suppressed by cysteine, tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane, glutathione and sodium bisulfite. Also, these active oxygen scavengers and reducing agents alone did not show mutagenicity in the present study.

The based-catalyzed depolymerization (BCD) of kraft lignin isolated from black liquor which the chemical pulping of a mixture of various Southeast Asia hardwood chips was carried out in a batch reactor in the presence of different NaOH concentrations with supercritical methanol. The S:G ratio of the kraft lignin determined by pyrolysis-GC/MS analysis turned out roughly 1.4:1 and main products were vanillic acid, syringol and 3-methoxy catechol. The diethyl ether extracts as phenolic monomers from BCD reaction were produced similar yield among different NaOH concentrations. The 21 compounds were identified by GC/MS analysis in all experiments and major products were catechol, 3-methoxycatechol, 4-methylcatechol, syringol and isovanillic acid. However, it had been shown to be different monomer contents depending on the dosage of NaOH. Catechol, 4-methylcatechol and 3-methoxycatechol were shown to be the dominant monomer from BCD reaction using 7.5 and 3.25% of NaOH concentration whereas syringol, isovanillic acid, 3-methoxycatechol and 4-methylcatechol were determined to be the most typical products under the condition of 1.63% NaOH.

Pseudomonas sp. PAMC 29040 was isolated from a maritime tundra soil in Antarctica for its ability to degrade lignin and subsequently confirmed to be able to depolymerize heterogeneous humic substance (HS), a main component of soil organic matter. The draft genome sequences of PAMC 29040 were analyzed to discover the putative genes for depolymerization of polymeric HS (e.g., dye-decolorizing peroxidase) and catabolic degradation of HS-derived small aromatics (e.g., vanillate O-demethylase). The information on degradative genes will be used to finally propose the HS degradation pathway(s) of soil bacteria inhabiting cold environments.

The purpose of this study is to quantify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in gas sample using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled to GC analysis. The optimal HS-SPME conditions was CAR/PDMS fiber and 30 min absorprion time for the analysis of various VOCs. In optimal conditions, 80 VOCs could be detected within 1 ppbv and even less than 0.0005 ppbv especially in the case of BTEX. However, fiber reproducibility on adsorption efficiency was 1~9.2% (between the same fiber) and 5.9~13.5% (between the other fiber). We successfully determined 35 VOCs in landfill gas with this method and found that VOCs of high concentration are emitting from vent pipe of closed/open landfill site under the HS-SPME conditions. This method may apply to VOCs/odor determination from various atmospheric environmental samples as well as landfills.

본 연구에서는 ITO (indium tin oxide) /glass 투명기판 위에 다층구조의 OELD 소자를 진공 열증착법으로 제작하였다. 상부 전극과 하부 전극의 종류에 따른 전류밀도-전압 특성을 측정하였으며, 열적 안정성이 다른 정공 수송충을 사용하여 소자를 제작하고 전기ㆍ광학적 특성을 측정하였다. 사용된 저분자 유기화합물은 발광층으로 녹색의 발광을 가지는 Alq₃(tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum)를 사용하였고 정공수송 및 주입층으로는 TPD(triphenyl diamine), α-NPD 그리고 CuPc (Copper phthalocyanine)를 각각 증착하였다. 하부 전극으로 사용된 ITO 투명전극은 면저항이 적을수록 전류밀도가 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있고, 상부 전극의 종류에 따른 전류밀도-전압 특성을 분석한 결과 일함수가 낮은 전극일수륵 전류밀도가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 유리전이온도(Tg)가 상대적으로 높은 재료인 α-NPD를 정공수송충으로 사용한 경우 더 양호한 특성을 나타내었다.

헤테로원자(X=O, S, Se)의 변환에 따라 용액상에서 Merocyanine색소 및 Cyanine색소의 헤테로원자X는 p궤도의 원자보다 d궤도의 원자가 공명에 관여하여 공역계확장에 기여하였고, 유전률이 큰 용매 일수륵 Merocyanine색소는 장파장으로 흡수극대치가 이동하였다. 또 Cyanine색소의 기저상태는 $I^-$이온과 정전하 발색단을 가진 이온성 화합물로 되어 있으므로 극성용매에서 $I^-$ 이온의 전하가 색소본체로 전하 이동전이가 발생하여 단파장화 하였다. 고상에서 색소의 농도가 높을 수록 색소분자간의 거리가 가까워져 색소 상호작용이 변화하여 흡수스펙트럼에서는 전체적으로 폭이 넓은 형태로 나타났으며 이것은 농도가 높을 수록 색소분자간의 거리가 가까워져 색소 상호작용이 변화한 때문이라고 생각된다. 또한 3차원 형광의 저농도에서 보이지 않는 새로운 스펙트럼이 Cyanine색소에서 나타났으며 이 스펙트럼은 색소고유의 흡수에 기인한 것으로 Eximer형광으로 생각된다. 광전특성에 있어서는 Merocyanine색소가 Cyanine색소보다 활성화에너지가 낮아 전하이동도가 커짐에 따라 높은 광전특성을 나타내었다. 그리고 Merocyanine색소 헤테로원자(X)의 비교에서 광전특성은 O

Gas hydrates are crystalline solids composed of water and gas molecules. Water molecules are linked through hydrogen bonding and create cavities(host lattice) that can capture a large variety of guest molecules under appropriate conditions, generally high pressure and low temperature. Recently, many researchers try to apply gas hydrates to industrial processes to capture greenhouse gases due to the facts that the process is eco-friendly and target gas molecules can be preferentially captured. In this paper, we introduced recent studies on $CO_2$ and $CO_2-N_2$ mixture hydrates to evaluate the feasibility of industrial application of gas hydrate technology to $CO_2$ capture process. Specifically, we put emphasis on the technical feasibility of $CO_2$ separation in steel industry using gas hydrate formation principles.

Polypyrrole is a typical electrical conducting polymer, which has an excellent charge transport property. Cyclodextrins are a group of toxic-free and cyclic oligosaccharide molecules, capable of capturing low molecular weight chemicals. Considering these advantages, hybrid materials of polypyrrole and cyclodextrin can be used to detect hazardous compounds. Cyclodextrin molecules can accommodate toxic chemicals by the formation of host-guest complexes and generate electric signals, which are effectively delivered by polypyrrole backbone. In this study, the polypyrrole/cyclodextrin hybrid material was prepared using a facile wet method and included into a hydrogel. Subsequently, it was applied to a simple sensor system with a gold-patterned electrode for the detection of potentially hazardous material, methyl paraben. Compared with pristine polypyrrole, it was found that the polypyrrole/cyclodextrin hybrid showed an improved performance. This study can be an example of using environmentally benign conducting polymer/cyclodextrin hybrids as sensing media.
