To design more efficient peptide antagonist against the HBV, preSl(21-47) which carries the HBV receptor binding site for hepatocytes was synthesized and the solution structure of preSl(21-47) was investigated using CD spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy in membrane-mimicking environments. According to CD spectra, preSl(21-47) has a random structure in aqueous solution, while conformational change was induced by addition of TFE and SDS micelle. Tertiary structures as determined by NMR spectroscopy shows that preSl(21-47) has a very flexible structure even in SDS micelle.

In this paper, carbon and silver electrode properties of power electroluminescent device were investigated. Devices were manufactured by screen-printing and manufactured devices were measured following things with variable applied voltage; emission spectra, transferred charge density, brightness and current. A continuous test at $65 ^{\circ}C$ of temperature and 95% of humidity was operated. The brightness of devices which were made of silver and carbon electrode at 100V was $67.03cd/m^2$ and $60.02cd/m^2$ respectively. In case of device, which was made of silver electrode, a black spot was formed after 72 hours and degraded but carbon electrode was stable.

Polysaccharides have attracted great attention for their wide range of applications in biological and medical fields. In this paper, the interaction of polysaccharides with human serum albumin (HSA) was systematically investigated by fluorescence (FL) spectroscopy and circular dichroism (CD) spectra under different conditions. The Stern-Volmer quenching constants ($K_a$) at different ionic strength and pH were calculated, and information of the structural features of HSA was discussed. FL and CD results indicate that both hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions play important roles during the binding process. The quenching of the fluorescence resulting the binding of polysaccharides and HSA is static.

Synthetic pulmonary surfactants consisting of a mixture of phospholipids with synthetic peptides based on human surfactant-associated protein SP-B were prepared. These surfactants were analyzed f3r their secondary structures by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy. Two synthetic peptides (SP-B(3), SP-B(4)) combined with the phospholipid mixture displayed significant surfactant properties. The CD spectra showed that the u-helical propensities of the peptides in DPC micelles. In the NMR spectroscopy, the tertiary structures of SP-B(3) show that it has $\alpha$-helical structure from Gln5 to Arg13 in DPC micelle and SP-B(4) show that they have $\alpha$-helical structure from Gln5 to Leu12 in DPC micelle. Based on these structures, truncated peptides originated from SP-B protein, can be designed as effective synthetic surfactants for clinical use.

By combining tetraphenylethylene and anthracene, we synthesized 9,10-bis(4-(1,2,2-triphenylvinyl)phenyl) anthracene [BTPPA] and 1,2-di(4'-tert-butylphenyl)-1,2-bis(4'-(anthracene-9-yl)phenyl)ethene [BPBAPE]; both BTPPA and BPBAPE have similar band-gaps, however their PL spectra were shifted by about 30 nm with respect to each other. The fabricated multilayered non-doped OLED devices based on pure BTPPA or BPBAPE exhibited luminance efficiencies of 3.93 cd/A at 6.8 V and 10.33 cd/A at 8.1 V, respectively, at $10\;mA/cm^2$. As the BPBAPE content of the emitting layer increased, the luminance efficiency of the device increased; in addition, the CIE coordinates of the fabricated devices shifted gradually from deep-blue for pure BTPPA to sky-blue for pure BPBAPE.

We have fabricated white organic light emitting diodes. To obtain balanced white emission and improve the efficiency of devices, thin electron blocking layer (TEBL) was inserted between the emitting layers. We showed that the effective injection of electrons through the optimization of TEBL (a - NPD) embodied the balance of spectra and had a possibility of getting white emission. In a device with 0.3 nm a-NPD, it had a maximum power efficiency of 3.80 lm/w at 250 $cd/m^2$, a luminance of 1200 $cd/m^2$ at 100 $mA/cm^2$ , and the CIE coordinates were (0.353, 0.357).

Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids and essential for many cellular functions. In this study, ultrasonic absorption spectra of $\beta$-cyclodextrin ($\beta$-CD) and adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) in aqueous solution were measured over the broad frequency range 0.1-40 MHz with emphasis on the low-frequency range below 1 MHz. Here we show that the interaction of $\beta$-CD and AMP complies with a typical spectrum of a single relaxation process. We determined reliable rate (kb) and equilibrium (K) constants and a standard volume change ($\Delta$V) of the reaction. They are $k_b=2.3{\times}{{10^{-6}}_s}^{-1},\;K=89M^{-1},\;and\;{\Delta}V=13.8(10^{-6}m^3mol^{-1})$, respectively.

An approach to achieving of spatially homogeneous, ordered ensemble of semiconductor quantum rods in polymer film of polyvinyl butyral is reported. The CdSe/ZnS quantum rods are embedded to the polymer film. Obtained film is stretched up to four times to its initial length. A concentration of quantum rods in the samples is around $2{\times}10^{-5}$ M. The absorption spectra, obtained in the light with orthogonal polarization, confirm the occurrence of spatial ordering in a quantum rod ensemble. Anisotropy of the optical properties in the ordered quantum rod ensemble is examined. The presented method can be used as a low-cost solution for preparing the nanostructured materials with anisotropic properties and high concentration of nanocrystals.

We have investigated the effects of an Ag capping layer on the emission characteristics of transparent organic light-emitting devices with Ca/Ag double-layer cathodes. The thickness of the Ag layer was varied from 10 to 30 nm, whereas the Ca was fixed to be a 10 nm in the Ca/Ag structure. The luminance and current efficiency on the cathode and anode sides are significantly dependent on the Ag thickness. For example, the current efficiency on the anode side increases from 8.4 to 11.7 cd/A, whereas, on the cathode side, it decreases from 3.2 to 0.2 cd/A as the Ag thickness increases from 10 to 30 nm. These changes in emission characteristics were investigated by measuring electroluminescence, transmission, and reflection spectra.

We demonstrate a high-spatial-resolution imaging and spectroscopy tool using a solid immersion lens (SIL), a hemispherical lens made of high refractive index glass (n ~2). Photoluminescence (PL) images of single CdSe nanocrystals confirm a numerical aperture enhancement factor of ~2, close to the refractive index of the SIL. In particular, a bare-eye observation of PL signals emitted by single nanocrystals with ${\sim}10\;{\mu}m^{-2}$ densities was possible over an ${\sim}30\;{\mu}m$ diameter region. In addition, the PL spectra of single CdSe nanocrystals were successfully measured at room temperature. Thus, this SIL microscope ensures a simple but powerful method for nanostructure spectroscopy.
