  • 생명체의 본질적 기능에 중요한 역할을 담당하는 유전자들을 밝히기 위해 미생물 유전체들 사이의 공통적 유전자를 밝히는 COG알고리듬을 이용하였다. 진핵생물 3종을 포함한 66종의 미생물에서 63개의 유전자가 보존적이었으며, 단백질 합성에 관여하는 유전자들이 총 52개로 생명현상에서의 단백질의 중요성을 알 수 있었다. 각 보존적 유전자들의 distance value를 이용하여 종간의 유전자 변이의 정도를 보면, ribosomal protein S12 (COG0048)와 ribosomal protein L14 (COG0093)의 보존성이 가장 높았다. 보존적 유전자들의 평균과 분산으로 유전체 분석을 수행한 결과, 고세균과 진정세균의 각 그룹 등 근연종들이 독자적 그룹을 형성하였다. 하지만 각 그룹내의 속 및 유전체의 수와 유전체 변이의 정도는 비례하지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have significantly beneficial effects on health in relation to cardiovascular, immune, and inflammatory conditions and they are involved in determining the biophysical properties of membranes as well as being precursors for signaling molecules. PUFA biosynthesis is catalyzed by sequential desaturation and fatty acyl elongation reactions. This aerobic biosynthetic pathway was thought to be taxonomically conserved, but an alternative anaerobic pathway for the biosynthesis of PUFA is now known to contain analogous polyketide synthases (PKS). Certain fish oil can be a rich source of PUFA although processed marine oil is generally undesirable as food ingredients because of the associated objectionable flavors that are difficult and cost-prohibitive to remove. Oil-seed plants contain only the 18-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, which is not converted in the human body to EPA and DHA. It is now possible to engineer common oilseeds which can produce EPA and DHA and this has been the focus of a number of academic and industrial research groups. Recent advances and future prospects in the production of EPA and DHA in oilseed crops are discussed here.

  • We previously reported that the SbROMT3syn recombinant protein catalyzes the production of the methylated resveratrol derivatives pinostilbene and pterostilbene by methylating substrate resveratrol in recombinant E. coli. To further study the production of stilbene compounds in E. coli by the expression of enzymes involved in stilbene biosynthesis, we isolated three stilbene synthase (STS) genes from rhubarb, peanut, and grape as well as two resveratrol O-methyltransferase (ROMT) genes from grape and sorghum. The ability of RpSTS to produce resveratrol in recombinant E. coli was compared with other AhSTS and VrSTS genes. Out of three STS, only AhSTS was able to produce resveratrol from p-coumaric acid. Thus, to improve the solubility of RpSTS, VrROMT, and SbROMT3 in E. coli, we synthesized the RpSTS, VrROMT and SbROMT3 genes following codon-optimization and expressed one or both genes together with the cinnamate/4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase (CCL) gene from Streptomyces coelicolor. Our HPLC and LC-MS analyses showed that recombinant E. coli expressing both ScCCL and RpSTSsyn led to the production of resveratrol when p-coumaric acid was used as the precursor. In addition, incorporation of SbROMT3syn in recombinant E. coli cells produced resveratrol and its mono-methylated derivative, pinostilbene, as the major products from p-coumaric acid. However, very small amounts of pterostilbene were only detectable in the recombinant E. coli cells expressing the ScCCL, RpSTSsyn and SbROMT3syn genes. These results suggest that RpSTSsyn exhibits an enhanced enzyme activity to produce resveratrol and SbROMT3syn catalyzes the methylation of resveratrol to produce pinostilbene in E. coli cells.

  • In general, metallic bio-materials is more widely used in solid tissue like bone or tooth than flexible tissue such as skin or muscle. Especially, Cobalt Chrome Molybdenum(Co-Cr-Mo), which is used in tooth surgery, has a great corrosion resistance. Because this bio-material is non-toxic in human body, and has a bio-compatibility that the vital reaction is not occurred with tissue in body. However the chemical reaction is occurred by fatal matter that deteriorate the property of material surface in conventional polishing, and it can affect to fatal disease in human body or decrease the material properties such as hardness, yield strength or bio-compatibility. This surface in poor condition can cause development of corrosion or bacteria. In this study, MR fluid polishing is used to minimize the scratch, pit or surface flaws generated in conventional polishing. Surface roughness is measured according to the polishing condition to obtain fine surface condition.

  • 본 연구에서는 바이오주입재를 시멘트와 같은 분말 형태로 주입재를 개발하였다. 바이오그라우팅의 배합비를 선정하기 위해 규산소다 3호 : 물의 비율(50 : 50, 35 : 65, 20 : 80), 시멘트 : 바이오주입재의 비율(100 : 0, 90 : 10, 70 : 30)로 각각 샌드겔 공시체를 제작하여 시간 경과에 따른 geltime을 분석하였다. 그리고 geltime에 따른 일축압축강도를 평가하여 시공조건에 맞는 배합비를 선정할 수 있도록 제시하였다. 실내실험 결과, 규산소다 3호 : 물의 비율이 35 : 65, 시멘트 : 바이오주입재의 비율이 90 : 10일 때 겔타임과 일축압축강도가 잘 나타나 적정한 최적배합비로 확인하였다.

  • The sensitivity and sensing margin of SOI(silicon on insulator) nano-wire BioFET(field effect transistor) were investigated by using back-gate bias. The channel conductance modulation was affected by doping concentration, channel length and channel width. In order to obtain high sensitivity and large sensing margin, low doping concentration, long channel and narrow width are required. We confirmed that the electrical sensing by back-gate bias is effective method for evaluation and optimization of bio-sensor.
