[Ru(bpy)$_2$(dppz)]$^2$$^{+}$ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine)(RuBD), a long-lifetime metal-ligand complex displays photophysical properties including long lifetime, polarized emission, and very little background fluorescence. To further show the usefulness of this luminophore(RuBD) for probing nucleic acid dynamics, its intensity and anisotropy decays when bound to tRN $A^{val}$ were examined using frequency-domain fluorometry with a blue light-emitting diode(LED)as the modulated light source. Unexpectedly much longer mean lifetime was obtained at 4$^{\circ}C$(<$\tau$>=178.3 ns) as compared to at $25^{\circ}C$(<$\tau$>=117.0 ns), suggesting more favorable conformation of tRN $A^{val}$ for RuBD when intercalated at 4$^{\circ}C$. The anisotropy decay data showed longer rotational correlation times at 4$^{\circ}C$(52.7 and 13.0 ns) than at $25^{\circ}C$ (32.9 and 10.3 ns). The presence of two rotational correlation times suggests that RuBD reveals both local and overall rotational motion of tRN $A^{val}$. Due to long lifetime of RuBD and small size of tRN $A^{val}$, very low steady-state anisotropy values were observed, 0.048 and 0.036 at 4 and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. However, a clear difference in the modulated anisotropy values was seen between 4 and $25^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that RuBD can be useful for studying hydrodynamics of small nucleic acids such as tRN $A^{val}$.^{val}$.>.$.>.

To investigate the biochemical properties of V. mimicus metalloprotease, whose gene was isolated previously from Vibrio mimicus ATCC33653, overexpression and purification were attempted. The 1.9 kb of open reading frame was amplified by PCR from pVMC193 plasmid which ligated the VMC gene with pUC19 and introduced into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) using the overexpression vector, pET22b (+). The overexpressed metalloprotease (VMC) was purified with Ni-NTA column chromatography and characterized with various protease inhibitors, pHs, temperatures, and substrates. The purified VMC showed the proteolytic activity against gelatin, soluble and insoluble collagens, and synthetic peptides. Unlike the observations made with all metalloproteases originated from other Vibrio sp., the VMC did not hydrolyze the casein. The proteolytic activity was critically decreased when the VMC was treated with metal chelating reagents, such as EDTA, 2,2-bipyridine, and 1, 10-phenanthroline. In particular, the 71 kDa VMC exhibited the hemagglutinating activity against human erythrocyte. As the purified VMC was treated with $CuCl_2$ and $NiCl_2$ for the chemical modification of metal binding, the proteolytic activity and hemagglutinating activity were profoundly influenced. The multialignment analysis made on the reported Vibrio metalloproteases showed the difference of amino acid sequence similarity between the two distinctive classes of Vibrio metalloproteases.

4,4'-비피리딘과 크롬(VI) 산화물을 반응시켜 $(C_{10}H_8N_2H)_2Cr_2O_7$을 합성하였다. 적외선분광광도법(FT-IR)과 원소분석으로 구조를 확인하였다. 여러 가지 용매 하에서 $(C_{10}H_8N_2H)_2Cr_2O_7$을 이용하여 벤질알코올의 산화반응을 측정한 결과, 용매의 유전상수 값이 증가함에 따라 반응수율이 증가했다. 그 순서는 DMF (N,N'-디메틸포름아미드) > 아세톤 > 클로로포름 > 시클로헥센이었다. $H_2SO_4$ 촉매를 이용한 DMF 용매 하에서, $(C_{10}-H_8N_2H)_2Cr_2O_7$은 벤질알코올(H)과 그의 유도체들($p-OCH_3$, $m-CH_3$, $m-OCH_3$, m-Cl, $m-NO_2$)을 효과적으로 산화시켰다. 전자받개 그룹들은 반응속도가 감소한 반면에 전자주개 치환체들은 반응속도를 증가시켰고, Hammett 반응상수(${\rho}$) 값은 -0.70 (308 K)이었다. 본 실험에서 알코올의 산화반응 과정은 속도결정단계에서 수소화 전이가 일어났다.

The luminescence spectra of $Ru(bpy)_3^{2+}$ in poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA) solutions varied sensitively with pH. At pH < 5.5, the emission intensity increased with pH up to 4 times, while it decreased with pH beyond the pH. The enhanced emission intensity was accompanied by blue-shift of the emission maxima as much as 15 nm. The enhancement of emission intensity was attributed to the restricted rotational mobility of ligand of the cation bound to densely coiled PMA molecules at pH < 5.5. The sharp decrease in emission intensity with increasing pH near pH 5.6 was accounted for conformational transition of the polymer to more extended structure, which was also revealed in viscosity measurement. The enhancement of emission intensity became higher as NaCl concentration of the solution increased. The binding constant of $Ru(bpy)_3^{2+}$ with two carboxylate groups of PMA was calculated as $2{\times}10^5\;M^{-1}$ in 0.1 M NaCl at pH 5.2. The pH dependence of luminescence quenching rate of $Ru(bpy)_3^{2+}$ by $Cu^{++}$ also showed maximum near pH 5, and the rate was more than $10^3$ times higher than that in water, whereas the maximum enhancement of quenching rate (about 20 times) in poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) solution occurred at pH 4.5. On the other hand, the pH dependence for neutral water soluble nitrobenzene (NB) exhibited opposite trend to that of $Cu^{++}$. The quenching constant vs pH curve for $MV^{++}$ was composite of those for $Cu^{++}$ and NB. The anomalous high quenching rate for $Cu^{++}$ in PMA solution at pH < 5.5 was attributed to the binding of $Ru(bpy)_3^{2+}$ and $Cu^{++}$ to the same region of PMA, when it conforms densely coiled structure in the pH range. The observation of mininium quenching rate for NB near pH 5.5 indicated that the $Ru(bpy)_3^{2+}$ bound to the densely coiled PMA is not accessible by NB, which is in bulk water phase. The composite nature of the pH dependence of quenching rate for $MV^{++}$ in PMA solution was attributed to the smaller binding affinity of the cation to PMA, compared to that of $Cu^{++}$. The sharp, cooperative conformational transition with pH observed in PMA was not revealed in PAA. But, the pH dependence of quenching rates in this polymer reflected increased charge density and, thus, binding of cations to the polymer, and expansion of the polymer chain with pH.
