The bulk photopolymerization of methacrylic acid (MA) with secondary silanes such as PhMeSiH2 and Ph2SiH2 gave poly(MA)s possessing the secondary silyl moiety presumably as an end group. It was found that while the polymerization yields and intrinsic viscosities decreased, the TGA residue yields and the relative intensities of SiH IR stretching bands increased with increasing mole ratio of the secondary silane over MA. The sterically less bulky silane PhMeSiH2 produced poly(MA)s with somewhat higher molecular weights and with similar TGA residue yields compared with the sterically bulkier silane Ph2SiH2. The secondary silanes seem to significantly influence on the photopolymerization of MA as both chain initiation and chain transfer agents.

The respiratory chain complex forms a supercomplex (SC) in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This complex facilitates the process of electron transfer to produce the proton gradient used to synthesize ATP. Understanding the precise structure of the SC is considered an important challenge. However, it has not yet been reported. The development of a Cryo-electron microscopy (EM) technique provides an effective way to obtain high-resolution micrographs to determine the high-resolution three-dimensional structure of biomolecules. In this brief review, the currently reported Cryo-EM structures of the mammalian respirasome have been described in order to establish a direction for further research in the respiratory system.

The bulk photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA) with bis(silane)s such as 1,4-$C_6H_4(SiH_3)_2$ (1) and 1,4-$C_6H_4(SiH_2Me)_2$ (2) was performed to produce poly(MMA)s possessing the corresponding bis(silyl) moiety as an end group. For the bis(silane)s, while the polymerizaiton yields and the polymer molecular weights decreased, the TGA residue yields and the relative intensities of Si-H IR stretching bands increased as the relative bis(silane) concentration over MMA increased. The polymerizaion yield, polymer molecular weight, and TGA residue yield of MMA with 1 were found to be higher than those with 2. The bis(silane)s appears to influence significantly upon the photopolymerization of MMA as both chain initiation and chain transfer agents.

RAFT polymerization can produce under controlled conditions polymer chains incorporating well-defined chain ends. By designing a simple way of producing functional RAFT agents, a variety of ${\Box}-end$ groups was successfully introduced onto hydrophilic polymer chains. The ${\Box}-end$ group being a thiocarbonyl thio function was used as efficient chain transfer agent in dispersion or emulsion polymerization to produce original functional latex particles.

In the case of immobilizing of glucose oxidase into polypyrrole (PPy) using electrosynthesis, the glucose oxidase (GOx) forms a coordinate bond with the polymer's backbone. However, because of intrinsic insulation and net-chain of the enzyme, the charge transfer and mass transport are obstructed during the film growth. Therefore, the film growth is dull. We synthesized the enzyme electrode by electropolymerization added some organic solvent, A formative seeds of film growth is delayed by adding the solvent. The delay is induced by radical transfer between the solvent and pyrrole monomer. In the case of adding ethanol, the radical transfer shares the contribution of dopant between electrolyte anion and GOx polyanion. This may lead to increase amount of immobilized the enzyme in ppy. However, adding tetrahydrofuran (THF), the radical transfer is more brisk, resulting in short chained polymer. Therefore, the doping level is lowered and then amount of immobilized of enzyme is decreased. For the UV absorption spectra of synthetic solution before synthesis and after, in the case of ethanol added, the optical density was slightly decreased for the GOx peaks. It suggests amount of GOx in the solution was decreased and amount of GOx in the film was increased. We established qualitatively that amount of immobilization can be improved by adding a little ethanol in the synthetic solution. It is due to radical transfer reaction. The radical transfer shares the contribution of dopant between small and fast electrolyte anion and big and slow GOx polyanion.

The advantages of service in satellite links are representatively a long distance and large capacity transfer and simultaneous communication. And terrestrial links are of high speed and high quality data transfer Therefore a combined form of characteristics of satellite and terrestrial links is desirable to furnish a good quality service to subscribers. And in satellite links an analysis method and a simulation method of file transfer are conducted to evaluate the efficiency of file transfer. The parameters are used the message length and transmission time, and the number of chain record and transmission time. From the results of evaluation, in satellite links, it is found that when the message length is shorter than 512 bytes, the file transmission time becomes extremely long and when the message length is set at 1024 bytes, the file transmission time abruptly increase from 2048 bytes. Also it is confirmed that when the number of chain record is under 15, the file transmission time becomes extremely long and if the number increase up to 90,the time becomes gradually short and over 90,it becomes constant.Therefore,from the result of file transmission in th case of utilizing satelite links,it is confirmed that the optimum message length in the minmum transmission time is present closely at 1024 bytes.Also it is confirmed that when the satelite transmission sped becoms smaller from 24kbps to2400bps,the optimum message length also becomes smaller from 640 bytes to 256bytes.

In order to develope baculovirus expression vector system, we constructed new transfer vector of nuclear polyhedrosis virus of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. The promoter region containing only adenine of translation start codon of polyhedrin gene was cloned by polymerase chain reaction technique. And the 5' and 3' leader regions of polyhedrin gene was sequentially cloned. The polyhedrin coding gene was deleted from the ＋2 to the ＋597 position. As the result, we constructed new transfer vector which has EcoRI, SacI and KpnI sites for the cloning sites of foreign gene. New transfer vector was named as pBmKSKl. Escherichia coli $\beta$-galactosidase gene as foreign gene was inserted into pBmKSKl, under the control of the polyhedrin promoter and expressed in B. mori cells. The result showed that the new transfer vector pBmKSK1 is functional.

Antibiotic resistance in human pathogens is a major public health issue. Some of the resistance problem can be attributed to the transfer of resistant bacteria from animals to people and the transfer of resistance genes from animal pathogens and commensal bacteria to human pathogens. Control measures include improvements in food hygiene to reduce the spread of zoonotic bacteria to people via the food chain. However, to specifically address the issue, the medical profession must control misuse and overuse of antibiotics in hospitals and community practice. In addition, the livestock industries and their advisors must reduce and refine the use of antibiotics in animal production and replace antibiotics with alternative disease control measures as much as possible.

Photoinduced electron transport process in nature such as photoelectric conversion and long-range electron transfer in photosynthetic organisms are known to occur not only very efficiently but also unidirectionally through the functional groups of biomolecules. The basic principles in the development of new functional devices can be inspired from the biological systems such as molecular recognition, electron transfer chain, or photosynthetic reaction center. By mimicking the organization of the biological system, molecular electronic devices can be realized $artificially^{1)}$. The nano-fabrication technology of biomolecules was applied to the development of nano-protein chip for simultaneously analyzing many kinds of proteins as a rapid tool for proteome research. The results showed that the self-assembled protein layer had an influence on the sensitivity of the fabricated bio-surface to the target molecules, which would give us a way to fabricate the nano-protein chip with high sensitivity. The results implicate that the biosurface fabrication using self-assembled protein molecules could be successfully applied to the construction of nanoscale bio-photodiode and nano-protein chip based on electrical detection.

Pentamethylcyclopentadienyltitanium trichloride, bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium dichloride ($Cp_2TiCl_2$), and bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)titanium dichloride were used in the polymerization of styrene without the aid of Group I-III cocatalysts. The properties of the resulting polymer indicated that polymerization was more controlled than in thermal polymerization. The kinetic studies indicated that a lower level of termination is present and that the polymer chain can be extended by adding an additional monomer. To elucidate the mechanism of polymerization, a series of experiments was performed. All results supported the involvement of a radical mechanism in the polymerization using $Cp_2TiCl_2$. The possibility of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) mechanism was investigated by isolating the intermediate species. We could confirm the activation step from the reaction of 1-PEC1 with $Cp_2TiCl$ by detecting the coupling product of the generated active radicals. However, the reversible deactivation reaction competes with other side reactions, and it detection was difficult with our model system.
