테노일트리플루오로아세톤(thenoyltrifluoroacetone, HTTA)과 트리옥틸포스핀옥사이드(trioctylphoshineoxide, TOPO)를 폴리비닐알콜(poly vinyl alcohol, PVA)로 고정화한 PVA 겔 비드를 제조하고, 이를 사용하여 수중의 $Cu^{2+}$를 제거하였다. 제조한 PVA 겔 비드의 $Cu^{2+}$ 제거특성은 유사 2차 속도식에 잘 적용되었으며, 랑미어 등온식에서 구한 $Cu^{2+}$의 최대 제거량은 9.59 mg/g이었다. $Cu^{2+}$ 제거의 최적 pH 범위는 pH 3.5~6이었다. PVA겔 비드를 5차례 재사용한 경우에도 추출제의 손실이나 PVA겔 비드의 손상은 관찰되지 않았다.

A cell-based in vitro exposure system was developed to determine whether oxidative stress plays a role in the cytotoxic effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and chlorobenzene, using human epithelial HeLa cells. Thin films based on cysteine-terminated synthetic oligopeptides were fabricated for immobilization of the HeLa cells on a gold (Au) substrate. In addition, an immobilized cell-based sensor was applied to the electrochemical detection of the VOCs. Layer formation and immobilization of the cells were investigated with surface plasmon resonance (SPR), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The adhered living cells were exposed to VOCs; this caused a change in the SPR angle and the VOC-specific electrochemical signal. In addition, VOC toxicity was found to correlate with the degree of nitric oxide (NO) generation and EIS. The primary reason for the marked increase in impedance was the change of aqueous electrolyte composition as a result of cell responses. The p53 and NF-${\kappa}B $ downregulation were closely related to the magnitude of growth inhibition associated with increasing concentrations of each VOC. Therefore, the proposed cell immobilization method, using a self-assembly technique and VOC-specific electrochemical signals, can be applied to construct a cell microarray for onsite VOC monitoring.

In this study, a simple procedure is described for patterning biotin on a glass substrate and then selectively immobilizing proteins of interest onto the biotin-patterned surface. Microcontact printing (CP) was used to generate the micropattern of biotin and to demonstrate the selective immobilization of proteins by using enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) as a model protein, of which the C-terminus was fused to a core streptavidin (cSA) gene of Streptomyces avidinii. Confocal fluorescence microscopy was used to visualize the pattern of the immobilized protein (EGFP-cSA), and surface plasmon resonance was used to characterize biological activity of the immobilized EGFP-cSA. The results suggest that this strategy, which consists of a combination of $\mu$CP and cSA-fused proteins. is an effective way for fabricating biologically active substrates that are suitable for a wide variety of applications. one such being the use in protein-protein assays.

In this study, a novel strategy was developed for the highly selective immobilization of proteins, using the polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) depolymerase substrate binding domain (SBD) as an active binding domain. In order to determine the appropriacy of this method for immunodiagnostic assays, the single-chain antibody (ScFv) against the hepatitis B virus (HBV) preS2 surface protein and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) envelope protein (SCVe) were fused to the SBD, then directly immobilized on PH A-coated slides via microspotting. The fluorescence-labeled HBV antigen and the antibody against SCVe were then utilized to examine specific interactions on the PHA-coated surfaces. Fluorescence signals were detected only at the spotted positions, thereby indicating a high degree of affinity and selectivity for their corresponding antigens/antibodies. Furthermore, we detected small amounts of ScFv-SBD (2.7 ng/mL) and SCVe-SBD fusion proteins (0.6ng/mL). Therefore, this microarray platform technology, using PHA and SBD, appears generally appropriate for immunodiagnosis, with no special requirements with regard to synthetic or chemical modification of the biomolecules or the solid surface.

Cobalt-immobilized SBA-15 6a-c was synthesized from alkyne-attached SBA 5a-c by the reaction with $Co_2(CO)_8$ in toluene. Alkyne group was introduced into amino SBA-15 (4) by imine-linkage or substitution with propargyl bromide to afford iminoalkyne 5a and aminoalkyne 5b, respectively. Meanwhile, alkyne 5c was prepared in one-step by reacting triethoxysilyl hexyne with SBA-15. Dicobalt-complexes 6a-c were characterized by means of FT-IR, solid-state NMR and elemental analysis.

Polysiloxane SE-54 liquid phase was immobilized on the support surface as coated in thin film via in-situ cross-linking. The cross-linking between liquid molecules was initiated by dicumylperoxide. Among the supports investigated, only Chromosorb W provided the cross-linkable surface. The optimal in-situ cross-linking was achieved when Chromosorb W was coated with 5% (w/w) SE-54 and cross-linked with 1% (w/w) dicumylperoxide. The cross-linked support was useful for the trace analysis as well as for the trace enrichment.

Poly(glycidyl methacrylate)-grafted polyethylene microbeads (POPM) presenting epoxy groups were prepared by radiation-induced graft polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate on the polyethylene microbead. The obtained POPM was characterized by IR spectroscopic, X-ray photoelectrons spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and thermal analyses. Furthermore, the abundance of epoxy groups on the POPM was determined by titration and elemental analysis after amination. The epoxy group content was calculated to be in the range 0.29-0.34 mmol/g when using the titration method, but in the range 0.53-0.59 mmol./g when using elemental analysis (EA) after amination. The lipase was immobilized to the epoxy groups of the POPM under various experi­mental conditions, including changes to the pH and the epoxy group content. The activity of the lipase-immobilized POPM was in the range from 160 to 500 unit/mg-min. The activity of the lipase-immobilized POPM increased upon increasing the epoxy group content. The lipase-immobilized POPM was characterized additionally by SEM, elec­tron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), and EA.

This study was designed to investigate the stability of a lipase fused with a cellulose­binding domain (CBD) to cellulase. The fusion protein was derived from a gene cluster of a CBD fragment of a cellulase gene in Trichoderma hazianum and a lipase gene in Bacillus stearother­mophilus L1. Due to the CBD, this lipase can be immobilized to a cellulose material. Factors affecting the lipase stability were divided into the reaction-independent factors (RIF), and the re­action-dependent factors (RDF). RIF includes the reaction conditions such as pH and tempera­ture, whereas substrate limitation and product inhibition are examples of RDF. As pH 10 and $50^{\circ}C$ were found to be optimum reaction conditions for oil hydrolysis by this lipase, the stability of the free and the immobilized lipase was studied under these conditions. Avicel (microcrystal­line cellulose) was used as a support for lipase immobilization. The effects of both RIF and RDF on the enzyme activity were less for the immobilized lipase than for the free lipase. Due to the irreversible binding of CBD to Avicel and the high stability of the immobilized lipase, the enzyme activity after five times of use was over $70\%$ of the initial activity.
