아조색소를 함유하는 폴리머필름은 Photonics분야에서 그 응용가능성 때문에 집중적인 연구의 대상이 되었다. 부피폴리머필름에서의 아조벤젠유도체의 trans-cis isomerization은 편광홀로그램, optical channel waveguide, reversable optical memory에서 이용되었다. 특히 최근에는 DRl／PMMA의 비공명영역에서 부피홀로그램에서 고회절효율과 Degenerate Four Wave Mixing에서 높은 반사율을 얻어내는 보고가 있었다. (중략)

Complexes of the type[Co(T)(L-pro)], where T is the quadridentate $N_2O_2$-type ligand, N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetate or N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine-N,N'-di-$\alpha$-butyrate, have been prepared. The complexes were separated into the two stereoisomers, $\Delta$-s-cis-[Co(T)(L-pro)] and $\Lambda$-s-cis-[Co(T)(L-pro)]. They were characterized by their proton magnetic resonance, absorption and circular dichroism spectra, elemental analyses.

The interactions of Cu(II)-meso-Tetrakis(n-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin (n = 2,3,4), respectively referred to as o-, m- and p-CuTMPyP, and DNA, poly$[d(A-T)_2]$ and poly$[d(G-C)_2]$ were investigated by circular and linear dichroism (CD and LD). In the o-CuTMPyP case, in which the rotation of the pyridinium ring is prevented, the shape of the CD spectrum when associated to DNA and poly$[d(A-T)_2]$ resembles and is characterized by a positive band at a low drug to DNA concentration ratio (R ratio) and is bisignate at a high R ratio. The former CD spectrum shape has been attributed to porphyrin that is bound monomerically outside of DNA while the latter can be attributed to those that are stacked. When o-CuTMPyP is bound to poly$[d(G-C)_2]$, the excitonic CD appeared at a relatively high R ratio. In contrast, a characteristic negative CD band in the Soret region was apparent for both m- and p-CuTMPyP when bound to DNA and poly$[d(G-C)_2]$ at the low R ratios, indicating that the porphyrin molecule intercalates. However, the DNA is bent near the intercalation site and the plane of the porphyrin molecule tilts relative to the DNA helix axis, as judged by the magnitude of the reduced LD. Various stacking patterns were identified by the shape of the CD spectrum for m- and p-CuTMPyP when bound to poly$[d(A-T)_2]$. Three species for the former complex and two for the latter complex were found which may reflect the extent of the stacking.

(+)-Camphorsulfonic acid (CSA)와 hydrochloric acid (HCl)로 binary 도핑된 키랄 polyaniline (PAni)을 중합온도 $0^{\circ}C$와 상온(RT)에서 전기화학적 중합법으로 합성하였다. 순환전압전류 곡선, FT-IR과 circular dichroism spectra로부터 PAni는 각각 (+)-CSA와 HCl로 single 도핑된 PAni 혼합물이 아닌, binary 도핑된 키랄 PAni임을 확인하였다. 중합온도가 전기화학적 거동과 도핑레벨에 영향을 주었고, 이에 따라서 PAni의 결정성과 모폴로지가 변화되는 것을 확인하였다. 중합온도가 $0^{\circ}C$에서 RT로 상승됨에 따라 키랄PAni의 모폴로지가 fibrous에서 short-fibrous구조로 변화되었다. ITO 위에 적층된 PAni필름의 면저항을 4-point probe 법으로 측정하였다.

Ryanodine receptor (RyR) is one of the two major $Ca^{2+}$ channels in membranes of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ stores and is found in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), endoplasmic reticulum (ER). RyR1 is also the major calmodulin-binding protein of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. Residues 4064-4210 in the RyR1 polypeptide chain has similar primary sequence with calmodulin (CaM) and was designated as CaM-like domain (CaMLD). When expressed as a recombinant peptide, CaMLD showed several CaM-like properties in previous studies. Still, previous studies of CaMLD were focused on protein-protein interactions rather than its own properties. Here, we studied the expression of CaMLD and its sub-domains corresponding to each lobe of CaM in Escherichia coli. CaMLD could be obtained only as inclusion body, and it was refolded using urea solubilization followed by dialysis. Using spectroscopic approaches, such as NMR, circular dichroism, and gel filtration experiment, we found that the refolded CaMLD exists as nonspecific aggregate, even though it has alpha helical secondary structure. In comparison, the first half of CaMLD (R4061-4141) could be obtained as natively soluble protein with thioredoxin fusion. After the removal of the fusion tag, it exhibited folded and helical properties as shown by NMR and circular dichroism experiments. Its oligomeric status was different from CaMLD, existing as dimeric form in solution. However, the second half of the protein could not be obtained as soluble protein regardless of fusion tag. Based on these results, we believe that CaMLD, although similar to CaM in sequence, has quite different physicochemical properties and that the second half of the protein renders it the aggregative properties.

Axin is a scaffold protein of the APC/axin/GSK complex, binding to all of the other signalling components. Axin interacts with Glycogen synthase kinase 3$\beta$ (GSK 3$\beta$) and functions as a negative regulator of Wnt signalling pathways. To determine the solution structure of the GSK3$\beta$ binding regions of the axin, we initiated NMR study of axin fragment comprising residues 3$Val^{388} - Arg^{401}$using circular dichroism (CD) and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The CD spectra of 3$axin^{pep}$ in the presence of 30% TFE displayed a standard 3$\alpha$-helical conformation, exhibiting the bound structure of 3$axin^{pep}$ to GSK3$\bata$. On the basis of experimental restraints including $NOE_s$, and $^3J_{HN\alpha} $ coupling constants, the solution conformation of $axin^{pep}$ was determined with program CNS. The 20 lowest energy structures were selected out of 50 final simulated-annealing structures in both water and TFE environment, respectively. The $RMSD_s$ for the 20 structures in TFE solution were 0.086 nm for backbone atoms and 0.195 nm for all heavy atoms, respectively. The Ramachandran plot indicates that the $\varphi$, $\psi$ angles of the 20 final structures is properly distributed in energetically acceptable regions. $Axin^pep$ in aqueous solutions consists of a stable $\alpha$-helix spanning residues form $Glu^{391}$ to $Val^{391} $, which is an interacting motif with GSK3$\beta$.

Defensins, which are small cationic molecules produced by organisms as part of their innate immune response, share a common structural scaffold that is stabilized by three disulfide bridges. Coprisin is a 43-amino acid defensin-like peptide from Copris tripartitus. Here, we report the intramolecular disulfide connectivity of cysteine-rich coprisin, and show that it is the same as in other insect defensins. The disulfide bond pairings of coprisin were determined by combining the enzymatic cleavage and mass analysis. We found that the loss of any single disulfide bond in coprisin eliminated all antibacterial, but not antifungal, activity. Circular dichroism (CD) analysis showed that two disulfide bonds, Cys20-Cys39 and Cys24-Cys41, stabilize coprisin's ${\alpha}$-helical region. Moreover, a BLAST search against UniProtKB database revealed that coprisin's ${\alpha}$-helical region is highly homologous to those of other insect defensins.

The present study was aimed to elucidate the mechanism of stabilization of tubulin by deuterium oxide ($D_2O$). Rate of decrease of tryptophan fluorescence during aging of tubulin at 4$^{\circ}C$ and 37$^{\circ}C$ was significantly lower in $D_2O$ than in $H_2O$. Circular dichroism spectra of tubulin after incubation at 4$^{\circ}C$, suggested that complete stabilization of the secondary structure in D2O during the first 24 hours of incubation. The number of available cysteine measured by DTNB reaction was decreased to a lesser extent in $D_2O$ than in $H_2O$. . During the increase in temperature of tubulin, the rate of decrease of fluorescence at 335 nm and change of CD value at 222 nm was lesser in $D_2O$. Differential Scanning calorimetric experiments showed that the $T_m$ values for tubulin unfolding in $D_2O$ were 58.6$^{\circ}C$ and 62.17$^{\circ}C$, and in $H_2O$. those values were 55.4$^{\circ}C$ and 59.35$^{\circ}C$.

유기용매에서 효소를 이용하면 다양한 선택적 반응을 쉽게 수행할 수 있어 산업적 적용 가능성이 매우 높지만, 효소의 안정성 저하는 아직까지 큰 문제 중의 하나로 남아있다. 유기용매에서 효소 반응시 효소의 실활 원인과 효소의 안정화 방법 연구를 위하여 단백질의 folding에 관여하는 molecular chaperone의 일종인 heat-shock protein Hsp90을 이용하여, 대표적인 유기용매 반응시스템에서의 과산화효소 HRP 안정성 향상 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 Hsp90은 30％ DMSO, 30％ 및 50％ dioxane 완충용액에서 HRP의 실활 방지 효과를 보였고, 실활된 효소의 재생에도 탁월한 효과를 보였다. 그리고 형광분석과 CD(circular dichroism)에 의한 구조분석을 수행하여 Hsp90이 유기용매에 의해 unfolding되어 있는 효소를 다시 refolding하는 데 기여함을 알았다.
