  • Recently, there are increasing to the interest in the organizational innovation DNA as the innovation origin and these interest mainly were approached through the case analysis of global innovative companies. The purpose of study is to investigate the applicability under the CEO of SMEs settings as global companies' cases. The research focused on the impact of innovator's DNA on innovative strategy by the empirical study that analyzed from 110 firm's data in Daegu and Gyeongbuk region. The results of empirical study, innovator's DNA has positive effects on the overall innovative strategy, especially the effects of discovery DNA are stronger than operational DNA. Included to the discovery DNA effects, operational DNA bring about negative on the product differentiation, though it has positive on the market differentiation. In terms of components of innovator's DNA, the questioning and association have strong impacts on the overall innovative strategy, and analyzing has positive on market differentiation, but specific task implementation has negative on the product differentiation. The results suggest that the logic of global innovation case is possible to the SME's CEO and need to learning efforts to promote discovery DNA for successful innovation.

  • DNA-DNA hybridization method with four oligonucleotide-specific probes was used simultaneously for differentiation and identification of four Mycobacterium species (Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium, M. intracellulare, and M. kansasii). This DNA-DNA hybridization method with 4 oligonucleotide-specific probes, which targets in the rpoB region of 4 Mycobacteria species, respectively, was tested on 322 clinical isolates. Using DNA-DNA hybridization method, we detected M. tuberculosis (282 strains), M. avim (7 strains), M. intracellulare (9 strains), and M. kansasii (3 strain) from 322 clinical isolates. This result was compared with conventional biochemical test and rpoB DNA sequence analysis of this clinical isolates. We confirmed identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium, M. intracellulare, and M. kansasii with high sensitivity (100 %) and specificity (100 %). This DNA-DNA hybridization method could be performed within 4 hours at least. Therefore, we suggest that DNA- DNA hybridization method using 4 rpoB DNA probes of Mycobacteria could be used for accurate, rapid, convenient detection and identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium, M. intracellulare, and M. kansasii in clinical samples.

  • Formation of Z-DNA, a left-handed double helix, from B-DNA, the canonical right-handed double helix, occurs during important biological processes such as gene expression and DNA transcription. Such B-Z transitions can also be induced by high salt concentration in vitro, but the changes in the relative stability of B-DNA and Z-DNA with salt concentration have not been fully explained despite numerous attempts. For example, electrostatic effects alone could not account for salt-induced B-Z transitions in previous studies. In this paper, we propose that the B-Z transition can be explained if counterion entropy is considered along with the electrostatic interactions. This can be achieved by conducting all-atom, explicit-solvent MD simulations followed by MM-PBSA and molecular DFT calculations. Our MD simulations show that counterions tend to bind at specific sites in B-DNA and Z-DNA, and that more ions cluster near Z-DNA than near B-DNA. Moreover, the difference in counterion ordering near B-DNA and Z-DNA is larger at a low salt concentration than at a high concentration. The results imply that the exclusion of counterions by Z-DNA-binding proteins may facilitate Z-DNA formation under physiological conditions.

  • One of the important roles of a DNA chip is the capability of detecting genetic diseases and mutations by analyzing DNA sequence. For a successful electrochemical genotyping, several aspects should be considered including the chemical treatment of electrode surface, DNA immobilization on electrode, hybridization, choice of an intercalator to be selectively bound to double standee DNA, and an equipment for detecting and analyzing the output signal. Au was used as the electrode material, 2-mercaptoethanol was used for linking DNA to Au electrode, and methylene blue was used as an indicator that can be bound to a double stranded DNA selectively. From the analysis of reductive current of this indicator that was bound to a double stranded DNA on an electrode, a normal double stranded DNA was able to be distinguished from a single stranded DNA in just a few seconds. Also, it was found that the peak reduction current of indicator is proportional to the concentration of target DNA to be hybridized with probe DNA. Therefore, it is possible to realize a sim71e and cheats DNA sensor using the electrochemical measurement for genotyping.

  • 본 연구에서는 DNA의 상보적인 결합을 이용하여 DNA 혼성화 반응을 감지할 수 있는 SH형 SAW 센서를 개발하였다. 측정에 사용된 DNA는 15개의 염기를 가진 올리고 뉴클레오티드를 사용하였으며 이에 대해 상보적 결합이 가능한 염기서열을 가진 것과 그렇지 않은 미스매치 형태의 DNA 올리고뉴클레오티드를 이용하여 DNA 혼성화 반응 특성을 측정하였다. SH형 SAW 센서는 압전 단결정 $LiTaO_{3}$를 사용하여 100 MHz 발진되는 형태로 제작하였으며, 센서의 지연선 위에 Ti/Au 층을 증착하여 SH기가 수식된 탐침 DNA의 고정화가 가능하게 하였다. 제작된 센서는 Au가 증착된 박막위에 탐침 DNA를 SAM 방법으로 고정화 시켰을 경우와 고정화된 탐침 DNA와 표적 DNA와의 혼성화 반응을 시키고 난 후의 센서의 주파수 변화를 각각 측정하였다. 개발된 DNA 혼성화 반응 측정용 SH형 SAW센서는 DNA 혼성화 특성에 기인한 질량하중 효과에 따른 안정적인 주파수 변화를 나타내었다.

  • Objectives The present study was designed to systematically characterize the denaturation and the renaturation of double stranded DNA (dsDNA), which is suitable for DNA hybridization. Methods A series of physical and chemical denaturation methods were implemented on well-defined 86-bp dsDNA fragment. The degree of each denaturation was measured and the most suitable denaturation method was determined. DNA renaturation tendency was also investigated for the suggested denaturation method. Results Heating, beads mill, and sonication bath did not show any denaturation for 30 minutes. However probe sonication fully denatured DNA in 5 minutes. 1 mol/L sodium hydroxide (alkaline treatment) and 60% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) treatment fully denatured DNA in 2-5 minutes. Conclusions Among all the physical methods applied, the direct probe sonication was the most effective way to denature the DNA fragments. Among chemical methods, 60% DMSO was the most adequate denaturation method since it does not cause full renaturation during DNA hybridization.

  • The effect of 6-sulfooxymethyl benzo(a)pyrene (SMBP) on conformational changes of calf thymus DNA was investigated. As SMBP is a strong electrophile, the covalent binding of SMBP to DNA should distort three dimensional conformation of DNA at the binding sites. A formaldehyde-unwinding methods were used to determine the rate of DNA denaturation. The increase in absorbance at 251nm was detected by addition of formaldehyde following treatment with SMBP. SMBP changed supercoiled DNA to relaxed and linear DNA as determined by electrophoresis, which was similar to the change in DNA due to in vitro treatment with benzo(a) pyrene diol epoxide. Treatment with SMBP completely denatured DNA under alkaline conditions. However, DNA was nicked or partially denatured under neutral condition. The absorption band of DNA was increased by the treatment with SMBP in V79 cells, which may be explained by the formation of stabilized SMBP-DNA adduct.

  • DNA computing is technology that applies immense parallel castle of living body molecules into information processing technology, and has used to solve NP-complete problems. However, there are problems which do not look for solutions and take much time when only DNA computing technology solves NP-complete problems. In this paper we proposed an algorithm called ACO(Algorithm for Code Optimization) that can efficiently express DNA sequence and create good codes through composition and separation processes as many as the numbers of reaction by DNA coding method. Also, we applied ACO to Hamiltonian path problem of NP-complete problems. As a result, ACO could express DNA codes of variable lengths more efficiently than Adleman's DNA computing algorithm could. In addition, compared to Adleman's DNA computing algorithm, ACO could reduce search time and biological error rate by 50% and could search for accurate paths in a short time.
