Human CD99 is a ubiquitous 32-kDa transmembrane protein encoded by mic2 gene. Recently it has been reported that expression of a splice variant of CD99 transmembrane protein (Type I and Type II) increases invasive ability of human breast cancer cells. To understand structural basis for cellular functions of CD99 Type II, we have initiated studies on hCD99$\^$TMcytoI/ using circular dichroism (CD) and multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. CD spectrum of hCD99$\^$TMytoI/ in the presence of 200mM DPC and CHAPS displayed an existence ${\alpha}$-helical conformation, showing that it could form an ${\alpha}$-helix under membrane environments. In addition, we have found that the cytoplasmic domain of CD99 would form symmetric dimmer in the presence of transmembrane domain. Although it has been rarely figured out the correlation between structure and functional mechanism of hCD99$\^$TMcytoI/, the dimerization or oligomerization would play an important role in its biological function.

$\beta-Cyclodextrin$ derivatives connected with diaza-18-crown-6 through flexible bridges (R) at the secondary face 1a-c (1a: R = $-(CH_2)4-;$ 1b: R = $-CH_2CH_2OCH_2CH2-;$ 1c: R = $-(CH_2)8-)$ have been prepared. The associa tion constants of 1 with (2-naphthoxy)alkylammonium ions (2a: alkyl = butyl; 2b: alkyl = octyl) were determined by induced circular dichroism (ICD) spectroscopy and it was found that the derivatization of $\beta-CD$ with the diazacrown resulted in enhanced binding with 2, compared to the native $\beta-CD.$ ICD Characteristics of the host-guest complexes indicate that a part of the alkylammonium moiety of 2 is protruded from the secondary side of the $\beta-CD$ cavity, and the guest molecules 2a and 2b move to the secondary and primary side, respectively, to make the binding of the ammonium group with the diaza-18-crown-6 moiety more feasible. The energy accompanied by the relocation of the guest molecules inside $\beta-CD$ moiety is compensated by the interaction energy between the ammonium ion and diazacrown ether.

여러 가지 유기용매에서 서로 다른 대이온을 가진 trans-$[Co(R,R-chxn)_2Cl_2]^+$착물의 원편광이색성(CD) 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 여기서 R,R-chxn은 (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane 이다. 착물의 CD 스펙트럼에서 관찰된 변화는 현저한 용매의존성을 나타내었다. 그리고 첫 흡수띠 영역$(^1A_{2g})$에서 CD 스펙트럼의 변화 정도는 용매의 donor number(DN)에 의존하였다. trans-[Co(R,R-chxn)$_2Cl_2]^+$ 착물의 CD 스펙트럼 변화는 $^1H$ NMR 스펙트럼으로부터 R,R-chxn 리간드 중의 수평방향의 N-H 수소와 용매분자와의 우선적인 상호작용에 기인되는 것으로 해석되었다.

라세미코발트(III)착물인 $[Co(en)_3]^{3+},\;[Co(tn)_3]^{3+},\;cis-[Co(NH_3)(en)_2]^{3+},\;[Co({\beta}-ala)(en)_2]^{2+},\;[Co(gly)(en)_2]^{2+}$ 및 [Co(acac)(en)$_2]^{2+}$을 실온에서 d-주석산염의 수용액에 녹여 원편광이색성 spectra를 측정하였다. 측정된 모든 착물에 대해서 가시부영역 (400∼500nm)에 한개의 음의 CD spectrum이 관측되었다. 이것은 d-주석산이온과 ${\Lambda}$-및 ${\Delta}$-거울상이성질체의 상호작용에 대한 차에의한 것이라고 해석되었다. 즉 ${\Lambda}$-및 ${\Delta}$-거울상이성질체에 d-주석산이온을 각각 부가했을때 ${\Lambda}$-거울상이성질체는 크게 변하였고 ${\Delta}$-거울상이성질체는 약하게 변하여 그 결과 유발원편광이색성 spectrum으로 나타났다. 이온교환 관크로마토그래피에 있어서 용리제와 더 강하게 회합하는 거울상이성질체가 관으로부터 더 빨리 용출된다. 만일 chiral음이온과 착물과의 더 강한 상호작용이 착물의 원래 부호로부터 크로마토그래피의 용리순서를 예측할 수가 있고, 실험결과 용리순서는 측정된 모든 착물에 대하여 유발 원편광이색성 spectrum의 부포로부터 예측된 거울상이성질체의 절대구조와 완전히 일치하였다.

Binding of sulfaethidole to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by circular dichroism. The effects of pH and ionic strength on the binding of sulfaethidole to BSA were investigated. It was found that one primary binding site on the BSAM was capable of inducing optical activity in the presence of sulfaethidole. Enhancement of the induced ellipticity of sulfaethidole upon addition to BSA was not much affected by the change of pH and ionic strength. Taking the effects of pH and ionic strength into consideration, it seems that the binding of sulfaethidole to BSA was not much affected by electrostatic and ionic interactions. Therefore, it might be assumed that the binding was mainly due to the hydrophobic interactions. Sulfaethidole seems to be a reasonable CD probe for the study of hydrophobic drug interactions.

Isoflavanone has been synthesized from the reduction of isoflavone in nearly quantitative yield. Isoflavone with seven equivalents of ammonium formate in the presence of Pd/C in ethanol under $N_2$ atmosphere exclusively produced the two-electron reduced product in two hours. It was characterized by various spectroscopic methods, including UV-VIS, EI-MS, $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR and $^1H$, $^1H$-COSY. The racemic mixture was separated by Sumi-Chiral column chromatography and the absolute configurations of the enantiomers were characterized by circular dichroism spectroscopy.

Kinetic and structural studies have been carried out on the effects of meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)-porphyrin ($H_2TPPS_4$) as an anionic and meso-tetrakis(3-N-methyl-pyridyl)porphyrin ($H_2TMPYP$) as a cationic porphyrin with adenosine deaminase (ADA) in 25 mM citrate/phosphate buffer, pH = 4-8, at $37^{\circ}C$ using UVvis spectrophotometry, circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence spectrophotometry as well as molecular dynamics (MD) and molecular docking. Kinetic results showed that the two porphyrins are non-competitive inhibitors. Increasing pH, increases $K_I$ and cationic porphyrin has a higher $K_I$ and lower binding constant ($K_b$) at all pH ranges. Analyzing the secondary structure revealed that both ligands decrease the secondary structure and that the anionic porphyrin is more effective.

Concerned with ambiguous stereochemistry assignment of natural (+)-glabridin, absolute configurations of (${\pm}$)-glabridin enantiomers were studied with synthetic glabridin. Synthetic glabridin enantiomers were separated by semi-preparative Sumi-chiral column chromatography, and characterized by UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopy. Three-dimensional molecular structure of glabridin was obtained as equatorial Ph-3 half chair chroman ring from semi-empirical PM3 calculation, and refined by coupling constants in $^1H$ NMR spectrum. Finally, absolute configurations of two enantiomers were determined by circular dichroism spectroscopy based on the empirical helicity rules. Absolute configuration of natural (+)-glabridin was confirmed as (R)-glabridin, as known.

The folding of recombinant hepatitis B virus X-protein (rHBx) solubilized from Escherichia coli inclusion bodies was investigated. By sequential dialysis of urea, rHBx was folded into its native structure, which was demonstrated by the efficacy of its transcriptional activation of the adenovirus major late promoter (MLP), fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism (CD) analysis. The decrease in CD values at 220 nm and a corresponding blue shift of the intrinsic fluorescence emission confirmed the ability of rHBx to refold in lower concentrations of urea, yielding the active protein. Equilibrium and kinetic studies of the refolding of rHBx were carried out by tryptophan fluorescence measurements. From the biphasic nature of the fluorescence curves, the existence of stable intermediate states in the renaturation process was inferred. Reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) analysis further demonstrated the existence of these intermediates and their apparent compactness.
