Two poly(4-vinylpyridines) having different degree of crosslinking were prepared by radical copolymerization of 4-vinylpyridine with N, N'-tetramethylenebis-acrylamide as a crosslinker. The abilities of these crosslinked polymers to bind acid dyes (methyl orange, ethyl orange, and propyl orange) were investigated at various temperatures in ethylene glycol as the binding medium. From the equilibrium amounts, the first binding constants and thermodynamic parameters for the bindings were evaluated. The first binding constants and thermodynamic parameters were not varied with these dyes. This result indicates that there is no hydrophobic interaction between the crosslinked polymers and the dyes in ethylene glycol. However, the first binding constants showed bell-shaped curves againtst the binding temperatures. This result could be explained in terms of the crosslinked hole size with temperature variation.

전남 진도군 소재 사찰의 보수 공사 중 벽화가 발견되어 제작기법 파악을 위해 교착제로 사용된 물질을 확인하고자 하였다. 이에 해당 벽화 시편에 대해 열분해/GC/MS와 IR 분석을 실시하였으며, 열분해/GC/MS분석은 직접 열분해와 온라인 메틸화법을 도입하였다. IR 분석에서 아교, 옻, 황칠 등 전통 교착제와 초산아크릴계 수지의 스펙트럼을 벽화시편과 비교했을 때 유사하지 않았으며, 건성유인 아마인유와 비교했을 때도 유사도가 낮았다. 벽화시편의 열분해/GC/MS 분석 결과를 옻, 황칠, 아교, 초산아크릴수지와 비교했을 때 이들 물질이 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 벽화시편에서 팔미트산, 옥타데칸산, nonanedioic acid, 옥타데센산 등 건성유에 특징적인 물질이 검출되었고, 경화 건성유와 유사한 열분해/GC/MS 크로마토그램이 관찰되었다. 따라서, 벽화는 건성유를 교착제로 사용하여 제작된 것으로 판단되었다.

Metal binding proteins or metallo-proteins are important for the stability of the protein and also serve as co-factors in various functions like controlling metabolism, regulating signal transport, and metal homeostasis. In structural genomics, prediction of metal binding proteins help in the selection of suitable growth medium for overexpression's studies and also help in obtaining the functional protein. Computational prediction using machine learning approach has been widely used in various fields of bioinformatics based on the fact all the information contains in amino acid sequence. In this study, random forest machine learning prediction systems were deployed with simplified amino acid for prediction of individual major metal ion binding sites like copper, calcium, cobalt, iron, magnesium, manganese, nickel, and zinc.

Specific [$^{3}H$] ouabain binding and $Ca^{2+}$ -uptake were measured to elucidate the role of high affinity [$^{3}H$] ouabain binding site in rat cardiac myocytes which contain 65% of rod cells. High affinity [$^{3}$H] ouabain binding site, which is about 3% of total pump sites, with apparent dissociation constant ($K_{D}$) of $1.1{\times}10^{-7}M$ and maximum binding site concentration (Bmax) of 1.2 pmol/mg protein ($1.754{\times}10^{5}cells$) were identified. At the concentration of $10^{-7}M$ to $10^{-4}M$, ouabain produced concentration dependent increase in $Ca^{2+}$-uptake of myocytes. The effect of ouabain on $Ca^{2+}$-uptake was not effected by membrane depolarization (elevated K+ in incubation medium) or verapamil. These results suggest that in rat ventricular myocytes the ouabain receptor complex to high affinity site may increase Na+ - $Ca^{2+}$ exchange across the sarcolemmal membrane by inhibition of Na+, K+ - ATPase.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of catalase using xanthine (X) - xanthine oxidase (XO) system on in vitro maturation and fertilization in pig. When follicular oocytes were cultured in maturation medium with X and/or XO, the maturation rates were not significantly different between in medium with and without catalase despite of different culture periods. However, significantly (P<0.05) higher maturation rates were obrained in culture with X-XO system. The rates of degenerated oocytes were increased with culture periods prolonged, and were significantly (P<0.05) higher in medium without than with catalase at 120 h of culture. On the other hand, the parthenogenetic oocytes were observed with high proportions at 72 h of culture, hut were not different in medium with and without catalase at various times of culture. In another experiment, the frozen-thawed boar spermatozoa treated with X-XO system for in vitro fertilization. The penetration rates were higher in medium with that than without catalase during the in vitro fertilization with, none (P<0.05), XO and X＋XO. On the other hand, when sperm were treated with none, X, XO and X＋XO, lipid peroxidation were higher in medium without that than with catalase. However, the changes in sperm penetration and lipid peroxidation showed opposite patterns. The sperm suspensions were also treated with X and/or XO for assay of sulfhydryl (-SH) group content. Under the above all conditions, sperm-SH group were higher detected In medium with that than without catalase. The activity of sperm binding to zona pellucida was also evaluated through binding to salt-stored porcine oocytes. In control group, sperm binding to zona pellucida were higher than in medium with X, XO and X＋XO groups. No significant differences, however, were observed between medium with and without catalase. In conclusion, the exposure of follicular oocytes and spermatozoa to X-XO system may be caused stimulating in vitro maturation and fertilization in pig. This work was supported by grant No. 2000-1-22200-001-3 from the Basic Research Program of the Korea Science & Engineering Foundation.

This study was designed to determine optimal condition for expression of cloned Shigatoxin2e(Stx2e) gene from transformed E. coli PED18, to compare the cytotoxicity titer between cloned Stx2e and Stx2e from original strain, and to confirm of receptor binding affinity of Stx2e for use of development of receptor binding ELISA to detect of Stx2e. The optimum composition of medium for expression of Stx2e gene in E.coli host-vector system was definded as the medium containing 0.5% glucose and 0.5 mM IPTG. The cytotoxicity titer of expressed Stx2e for Vero cell was 1000 fold higher than that of Stx2e from original strain AY93258. The binding affinity of Stx2e to receptor globotetraosyl ceramide($Gb_4$) was confirmed by immunobloting.

미토콘드리아의 Ca 결합은 물질대사에 의존하지 않는 初期 結合과 에너지 소비를 수반하는 膜透過의 二段階로 일어 난다는 설이 있다. 본 실험에서는 이를 확인키 위하여 흰쥐의 肝에 서 抽出한 미토콘드리아를 $^45 CaCl_2$를 함유한 sucrose-tris chloride 용액에서 incubate 시키면 서 Ca 흡수, 산소소비 및 ATPase 活性을 측정하였다. 미토콘드리아의 Ca 결합량은 온도의 영향을 거의 받지 않으며, succinate 나 ATP의 존재에 의해서도 증가하지 않는다. 반면 산소소비량은 succinate의 존재에 의하여 현저하게 증가되며 또 온도의 상승에 따라 증가된다. ATPase 活性도 온도의 상승에 따라 증가한다. 산소소비량과 Ca의 결합량이 비례하지 않는 것으로 보아 미토콘드리아의 Ca 초기 결합은 물질 대사에 의존하지 않는 것으로 판단된다. 미토콘드리아의 ATPase 活性은 DNP 의 존재에 의하여 증가된다.

In the previous studies, we have demonstrated that prorenin converting enzyme (PRECE) was identical to the epidermal grouch factor-binding protein (EGF-BP) type B, which was a member of the mouse glandular kallikrein family, To examine whether or not EGF-BP type A and C are involved in the processing of prorenin, we have cloned the CDNAS of the EGF-BP type h and C from a library of male ICR mouse submandibular gland (SMGI. And then CHO cells were transfected with the EGF-BP expression plasmids. and stable cell lines expressing a high level of the EGF-BPS precursor were obtained. The conditioned medium was then treated with trypsin, which has been knotvn to effectively convert the EGF-BP type A and C precursor to the active forms. 수ubsequentlv, the prorenin converting activity of the trypsin-treated or untreated medium was examined. PRECE converted exactly prorenin to renin, but the prorenin converting activities of EGF-BP type A and C were not detected. From these results, it seems that only type B of these EGF-BPs is involved in processing Ren 2 prorenin in mouse SMG.

We have cloned a soluble type human folate receptor(hFR type${\gamma}$) from human thymus cDNA library using the PCR amplification technique. To examine whether hFR type${\gamma}$ has a folate transport activity, CHO cells were transfected with the pcDNAhFR${\gamma}$ expression plasmid, and the stable cell line CHO/hFR${\gamma}$ expressing a high level of the hFR type${\gamma}$ was identified by northern and western blot analysis. The CHO/hFR${\gamma}$ cells produced a [$H^3$]folic acid binding protein in the culture medium. However, we couldn't detect any cell surface [$H^3$] folic acid binding and transport activities. The growth of the CHO/hFR${\gamma}$ cells was more rapidly inhibited than the wild type CHO cells in the low concentration folic acid media. These observations indicate that although soluble type human folate receptor can bind [$H^3$]folate, it does not involve in folate transport.

Secreted arginase from Evernia prunastri thallus has been purified 616-fold from the incubation medium. Purified arginase was resolved as only one peak in a capillary electrophoresis with a pI value of 5.35. The protein contained high amounts of acidic amino acids, such as Asx and Glx, and a relatively high quantity of Ser and Gly. The molecular mass of native, purified arginase was estimated as about 26 kDa by SE-HPLC. Substrate saturated kinetic showed a typical Michaelis-Menten relationship with a K_m value of 3.3 mM L-arginine. Atranorin behaved as a mixed activator of the enzyme (apparent $K_m$ = 0.96 mM); whereas evernic and usnic acid were revealed as non competitive inhibitors (apparent $K_m$ values were 3.16 mM and 3.05 mM, respectively). Kinetics of atranorin binding indicated that saturation was reached from 0.18 ${\mu}mol$ of the total atranorin and the occurrence of multiple sites for the ligand. This agrees with a possible aggregation of several enzyme subunits during the interaction process. A value of binding sites of about 12 was obtained. The binding of evernic acid was saturated from 23 nmol of total phenol. The number of binding sites was about 5. The loss of the binding ability of evernic acid could be interpreted as a single negative cooperatively. Usnic acid behaves in a similar way to evernic acid, although the binding saturation occurs at $0.14\;{\mu}moles$ of the ligand. This binding appears to be unspecific, and has 28 usnic acid binding sites to the protein.
