일부의 EGF receptor 에는 EGF 가 세포표면에서 receptor 와 결합할 때 보다 높은 친화력(high affinity)을 보이고 있는데 그 이유를 설명하기 위해서 EGF receptor 의 cytoplasmic 영역을 절단하여 EGF 와의 친화력을 측정하였다. Scatchard plot 의 결과 1022 아미노산 이하로 절단된 receptor 는 high affinity 특성을 상실하였다. Triton X-100로 세포막을 제거하여 cytoskeleton 이 EGF receptor 의 구조에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 cytoskeleton과 결합한 receptor 보다 EGF 에 대해서 더 높은 친화력을 보였다. 따라서 cytoskeleton 이 high affinity EGF receptor 를 형성하는데 영향을 미치고 receptor 와 cytoskeleton 의 가능한 결합부위는 1022-1186 아미노산 사이인 것 같다.

The purpose of this study was to use a ternary polymeric matrix system for high drug loading of a highly soluble drug for controlled release delivery. The controlled drug delivery of diltiazem HCl (solubility > 50% in water at $25^{\circ}C$) with high loading dose (the final loading dose of drug was 34%) from a ternary polymeric matrix (gelatin, pectin, HPMC) was successfully accomplished. This simple monolithic system with 240 mg drug loading provided near zero-order release over a 24 hour-period by which time the system was completely dissolved. The release kinetics of diltiazem HCl tablet with high loading dose from the designed ternary polymeric system was dependent on the ratios of HPMC : pectin binary mixture. The release rate increased as pectin : HPMC ratio were increased. Swelling behavior of the ternary system and the ionic interaction of formulation components with cationic diltiazem molecule appear to control drug diffusion and the release kinetics. Comparable release profiles between commercial product and the designed system were obtained. The binding study between gelatin with diltiazem HCl showed the presence of two binding sites for drug interaction with subsequent controlled diffusion upon swelling. This designed delivery system is easy to manufacture and drug release behavior is highly reproducible and offers advantages over the existing commercial product.

In order to investigate the functions of the C-terminal region of chitinase ChiCW of Bacillus cereus 28-9, a C-terminal truncated enzyme, ChiCW$\Delta$FC, was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity for biochemical characterization. Compared with ChiCW, ChiCW$\Delta$FC exhibited higher chitinase activity at high temperature and pH, but expressed lower hydrolytic and binding activities toward insoluble substrates. In addition, kinetic properties indicated that ChiCW$\Delta$MC hydrolyzed oligomeric and polymeric substrates less efficiently than ChiCW. These results suggest that the C-terminal region of ChiCW plays important roles in substrate binding and hydrolysis of chitin. In addition, the biological meaning of C-terminal proteolytic modification of ChiCW is discussed.

고정화된 단세포군 항체와 항원인 알부민과의 결 합시 결합속도기작을 조사하였다. 항체의 고정화에 는 극소의 폴리스타이렌(37^{\circ}C)을 담체로 사용하여 결합속도 측정시 물질저항의 영향을 최소화하였다. 이론적 해석과 실험 결과는 결합반응이 속도론으로 제어됨을 보였는데 결합속도는 2차이고 분리속도는 1차임을 보인다. 고정화 항체와 항원의 평형실험으 로부터의 평형상수는 결합속도상수와 분리속도상수 의 측정치로부터 계산한 값들과 잘 일치한다. 속도 상수들을 $^{\circ}C~37^{\circ}C$에서 측정하였는데 결합속도상 수의 활성화에너지는 9kcal/mole이고 분리속도상수 의 활성화에너지는 2kcal/mole이다. 위의 연구 결과 들은 작은 담체의 사용이 결합속도 기작을 연구하는 데 물질전탈 저항의 영향을 제거할 수 있음을 보이 고 위의 실험 방법들은 고정화 항체의 고유 결합속 도의 측정에 유용할 것이다.

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 metabolizes aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) to AFB1-exo-8,9-epoxide (8,9-epoxidation) and aflatoxin Q1 (AFQ1; 3$\alpha$-hydroxylation) simultaneously. We investigated whether each metabolite was formed via its own binding site of CAP3A4 active site. Kinetics of the formation of the two metabolites were sigmoidal and consistent with the kinetics of substrate activation. The HIll model predicted that two substrate binding wites are involved in the oxidationof AFB1 by CYP3A4. Dehydronifedipine, a metabolite of nifedipine generated by CYP3A4, inhibited the formation of AFQ1 without any inhibition in the formation of AFB1-exo-8,9-epoxidation. Dehydronifedipine was found to act as a reversible competitive inhibitor against 3$\alpha$-hydroxylation of AFB1. Vmax and S0.5 of the 8,9-epoxidation were not changed in the presence of 0, 50, or 100 $\mu\textrm{M}$ dehydronifedipine. S0.5 of 3$\alpha$-hydroxylation was increased from 58$\pm$4 $\mu\textrm{M}$ to 111$\pm$8 $\mu\textrm{M}$ in the presence of 100 $\mu\textrm{M}$ nifedipine whereas Vmax was not changed. These results suggest that there exist two independent binding sites in the active site of CAP3A4 . One binding site is responsible for AFB1-exo-8,9-epoxidation and the other is involved in 3$\alpha$-hydroxylation of AFB1. Dehydronifedipine might selectively bind to the site which is responsible for the formation of AFQ1 in the active site of CYP3A4.

A mature mutant ribose binding protein (RBP) of Escherichia coli was obtained by site-directed mutagenesis, replacing Thr-3 in the N-domain of wild-type mature RBP (WT -mRBP) with a Trp residue (N- Trp-mRBP). The equilibrium unfolding properties and the refolding kinetics of this protein were monitored by fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD). (omitted)

TLR4 together with CD14 and MD-2 forms a pattern recognition receptor that plays an initiating role in the innate immune response to Gram-negative bacteria. Here, we employed the surface plasmon resonance technique to investigate the kinetics of binding of LPS to recombinant CD14, MD-2 and TLR4 proteins produced in insect cells. The dissociation constants ($K_D$) of LPS for immobilized CD14 and MD-2 were $8.7{\mu}m$, and $2.3{\mu}m$, respectively. The association rate constant ($K_{on}$) of LPS for MD-2 was $5.61{\times}10^3M^{-1}S^{-1}$, and the dissociation rate constant ($K_{off}$) was $1.28{\times}10^2S^{-1}$, revealing slow association and fast dissociation with an affinity constant $K_D$ of $2.33{\times}10^6M$ at $25^{\circ}C$. These affinities are consistent with the current view that CD14 conveys LPS to the TLR4/MD-2 complex.

The rate constant of alkaline fading of methyl green ($ME^{2+}$) was measured in the presence of non ionic (TX-100), cationic (DTAB) and anionic (SDS) surfactants. $ME^{2+}$ hydrolyses and fades in neutral water and in this work we search the effects of surfactants on its fading rate. The rate of reaction showed remarkable dependence on the electrical charge of the used surfactants. It was observed that the reaction rate constant decreased in the presence of DTAB and SDS and increased in the presence of TX-100. Binding constants of $ME^{2+}$ to TX-100, DTAB and SDS and the related thermodynamic parameters were obtained by classical (or stoichiometric) model. The results show that binding of $ME^{2+}$ to TX-100 and DTAB are two-region and that of SDS is three-region. Also, the binding constants of $ME^{2+}$ to surfactant molecules in DTAB/TX-100 and SDS/TX-100 mixed solutions and their stoichiometric ratios were obtained.

A simple method for studying the lectin-like interactions between Helicobacter pylori and cultured human epithelial cell lines was developed using an enzyme-linked, biotin-streptavidin bacterial-adhesion assay. The present study suggests that this method is suitable for evaluating the participation of lectin interactions in the adhesion of H. pylori to cultured HeLa S3 and Kato III cells, both fixed and glycosidase-treated cells, as well as assessing glycoconjugated binding inhibition studies. The time-course and dose-dependent kinetics of the biotin-labeled H. pylori adhesion th the formaldehyde-fixed Hela S3 and Kato III cell lines exhibited saturation. In addition, the binding of the biotin-labeled H. pylori to the formaldehyde-fixed cultured cells was partially blocked by pre-incubation with glycoconjugates and polyclonal antibodies against a heparan sulfate binding protein from H. pylori.
