The effect of a water-miscible ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate $([BMIM][BF_4])$, on the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed oxidation of 2-methoxyphenol (guaiacol) with hydrogen peroxide $(H_2O_2)$ was investigated. HRP maintains its high activity in the aqueous mixtures containing various concentrations of the ionic liquid and even in 90% (v/v) ionic liquid. In order to minimize the effect of solution viscosity on the kinetic constants of HRP catalysis, the enzymatic reactions in the subsequent kinetic study were performed in water-ionic liquid mixtures containing 25% (v/v) ionic liquid at maximum. As the concentration of $[BMIM][BF_4]$ increased for the oxidation of guaiacol by HRP, the $K_m$ value increased with a slight decrease in the $K_{cat}$ value: The $K_m$ value increased from 2.8 mM in 100% (v/v) water to 22.5mM in 25% (v/v) ionic liquid, indicating that ionic liquid significantly weakens the binding affinity of guaiacol to HRP.

Ile-224 in I269S mutant horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzyme S (HLADH-S) was mutated to serine by site-directed mutagenesis in order to study the role of the residue in c oenzyme binding to the enzyme. The specific activity of the I269S and I224S mutant enzyme to ethanol was increased 6-fold and all Michaelis constants($K_a,\;K_b,\;K_p,\;and\;K_q$,/TEX>) were larger than those for the wild-type and I269S enzyme. The substitution decreased the afffinity to coenzymes and increased the specific activity of the enzyme. The mutant enzyme showed the highest catalytic efficiency for octanol among the primary alcohols. But it didn`t have activities on retinoids and 5${\beta}$-cholanic acid-3-one. From these results, it was confirmed that the hydrophobic interaction of Ile-224 residue with coenzyme was related to coenzyme affinity in ADH reaction. The substitution also affected the substrate affinities to the enzyme.

Emission quenching of photoexcited tris(${\alpha},{\alpha} '$-diimine)-ruthenium(II) complex cations, $RuL_3^{2+}$ (L: 2,2'-bipyridine, 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine; 4,4'-diphenyl-2,2'-bipyridine; 1,10-phenanthroline; 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline; 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline or 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) by $Cu^{2+}$, dimethylviologen $(MV^{2+})$, nitrobenzene (NB), and oxygen was studied in aqueous homogeneous and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar solutions. The apparent bimolecular quenching rate constants $k_q$ were determined from the quenching data and life-times of $^{\ast}RuL_3^{2+}$. In homogeneous media, the quenching rate was considerably slower than that for the diffusion-controlled reaction. The decreasing order of quenching activity of quenchers was $NB>O_2>MV^{2+}>Cu^{2+}$. The rate with $Cu^{2+}$ was faster as the reducing power of $^{\ast}RuL_3^{2+}$ is greater. On the other hand, the rates with NB and $O_2$ were faster as the ligand is more hydrophobic. This was attributed to the stabilization of encounter pair by van der Waals force. The presence of SDS enhanced the rate of quenching reactions with $Cu^{2+}$ and $MV^{2+}$, whereas it attenuated the quenching activity of NB and $O_2$ toward $RuL_3^{2+}$. The binding affinity of quenchers to SDS micelle and binding sites of the quenchers and $RuL_3^{2+}$ in micelle appear to be important factors controlling the micellar effect on the quenching reactions.

토양으로 투입되는 유기물의 종류나 투입된 후의 부식화과정(humification)을 고려하여 선정된 논 밭 토양으로부터 부식간(humic acid)을 추출 정제하였다. 부식간의 유효흡착 부위에 대한 수소이온과 다른 이온간의 흡착 경쟁을 이해하기 위한 첫단계로 수소이온에 대한 친화력(proton affinity)를 전위차적정에 의하여 측정하였다. 또한, 이의 전개양상을 Discrete ligand electrostatic model인 Model A와 Model V로 해석하고자 하였다. 추출 정제된 부식산들은 pH 변화(pH 3~11)에 따라 수소이온 친화력의 분포양상이 서로 차이를 보였으며, 서로 다른 농도의 배경전해질(0.01, 0.10, 0.50 and 1.00 M NaNO3)하에서 이온강도의 증가에 따라 부식산의 표면 음전하량이 증가하였다. 특히 남원통의 경우 증가폭이 pH 6.39 이하에서 상대적으로 컸다. 또한, continuous titration보다 batch titration에서 표면전하에 대한 이온강도에 따른 차이가 확인하였다. 이는 continuous titration시 반응시간의 부족으로 평형상태를 이루지 못해 전해질의 영향을 완전히 반영하지 못하여 이런 결과가 도출된 것으로 생각되어진다. 그러므로, 부식산을 다른 이온종과 반응시키고자 할 때 충분한 반응시간(7일)을 가능케 하는 batch titration이 적절할 것으로 생각된다. 이번 실험에 적용된 Model A와 V는 모두 좋은 예측값 (RSD<$5.46{\times}10-2cmolc\;kg-1$)을 보였다. Model A는 Model V에 비하여 단순하나, 상대적으로 많은 매개변수(fitted parameters)을 필요로 하며, 결합부위인 부식산 관능기들의 겉보기 해리상수(Kapp) 변화는 관능기의 불균일성이라기 보다는 정전기적 인력의 영향이 더 크다고 생각된다. Model V는 관능기들의 해리상수를 중간값과 전개인자로 나타냄으로써 부식산 표면의 불균일성(heterogeneity)을 좀 더 실질적으로 표현해 주고 있다.

생물검정과 RAPD 분석을 통해서 paraquat 저항성 생태형 망초를 선발하고, 저항성 발현 기구에 있어 Paraquat의 흡수와 이행, 그리고 결합친화력 차이가 관여하고 있는지를 조사하였다. 생물검정에 의하여 선발한 paraquat 저항성 생태형 망초는 RAPD 분석 결과 감수성 생태형 망초와의 유전적 관계에 있어서는 서로 먼 유연관계에 있음이 확인되었다. 엽록소 함량을 50% 감소시키는 paraquat의 농도로 나타낸 저항성지수는 저항성 생태형이 감수성 생태형에 비하여 약 7.8배 높았다. 저항성 및 감수성 생태형 간 epicuticular wax의 함량은 비슷한 수준이었고, cuticle의 함량은 저항성 생태형이 감수성 생태형에 비하여 약 1.5배 정도 높게 나타났지만, 이러한 차이는 cuticle을 통한 paraquat의 흡수량과 이행에 영향을 끼치지는 않았다. 세포벽에 대한 결합친화력은 저항성 생태형이 감수성 생태형에 비하여 7.4배 높게 나타났으며, 엽록체포막에 대해서는 감수성 생태형이 저항성 생태형에 비하여 약 1.5배 높은 결합친화력을 보였다. paraquat의 주요 작용점인 thylakoid 막에 대한 결합친화력에서는 저항성 생태형이 감수성 생태형에 비하여 약 16.9배 정도의 차이를 나타내어 그 차이가 매우 크게 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 paraquat에 대한 망초의 저항성 기작은 paraquat의 세포막 및 thylakoid 막 결합에 의한 작용점으로부터 격리가 어느 정도 관여하고 있는 것으로 생각된다.

The equilibrium and kinetic adsorption of arsenic on six different adsorbents were investigated with one synthetic and four natural types (two surface and two ground) of water. The adsorbents tested included magnetic ion exchange resins (MIEX), hydrous ion oxide particles (HIOPs), granular ferric hydroxide (GFH), activated alumina (AA), sulfur modified iron (SMI), and iron oxide-coated microsand (IOC-M), which have different physicochemical properties (shape, charge, surface area, size, and metal content). The results showed that adsorption equilibriums were achieved within a contact period of 20 min. The optimal doses of adsorbents determined for a given equilibrium concentration of $C_{eq}=10\;{\mu}g/L$ were 500 mg/L for AA and GFH, 520-1,300 mg/L for MIEX, 1,200 mg/L for HIOPs, 2,500 mg/L for SMI, and 7,500 mg/L for IOC-M at a contact time of 60 min. At these optimal doses, the rate constants of the adsorbents were 3.9, 2.6, 2.5, 1.9, 1.8, and 1.6 1/hr for HIOPs, AA, GFH, MIEX, SMI, and IOC-M, respectively. The presence of silicate significantly reduced the arsenic removal efficiency of HIOPs, AA, and GFH, presumably due to the decrease in chemical binding affinity of arsenic in the presence of silicate. Additional experiments with natural types of water showed that, with the exception of IOC-M, the adsorbents had lower adsorption capacities in ground water than with surface and deionized water, in which the adsorption capacities decreased by approximately 60-95%.

The dependence of the catalytic properties of horseradish peroxidase on the structural changes of ionic liquids was investigated with two water-miscible ionic liquids, N-butyl-3methypyridinium tetraftuoroborate ([$BMP_y$][$BF_4$]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([BMIM][$MeSO_4$]), each of which shares an anion ($BF_4^-$) or a cation ($BMIM^+$) with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetraftuoroborate ([BMIM][$BF_4$]), respectively. The oxidation of guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol) with $H_2O_2$was used as a model reaction. In order to minimize the effect of solution viscosity on the kinetic constants of the enzymatic catalysis, the enzymatic reactions for the kinetic study were performed in water-ionic liquid mixtures containing 25% (v/v) ionic liquid at maximum. Similarly to the previously reported results for [BMIM][$BF_4$], as the concentration of [$BMP_y$][$BF_4$] increased, the $K_m$value increased with a decrease in the $k_{cat}$value: the $K_m$value increased markedly from 2.8 mM in 100% water to 12.6 mM in 25% (v/v) ionic liquid, indicating that ionic liquid significantly weakens the binding affinity of guaiacol to the enzyme. On the contrary, [BMIM][$MeSO_4$] decreased the Km value to 1.4 mM in 25% (v/v) ionic liquid. [BMIM][$MeSO_4$] also decreased $k_{cat}$more than 3-folds [from 13.8 $s^{-1}$in 100% water to 4.1 $s^{-1}$in 25% (v/v) ionic liquid]. These results indicate that the ionic liquids interact with the enzyme at the molecular level as well as at a macroscopic thermodynamic scale. Specifically, the anionic component of the ionic liquids influenced the catalysis of horseradish peroxidase in different ways.
