Intrinsic binding kinetics of of 125I-bovine serum albumin (125I-BSA) and immobilized monoclonal anti-BSA (MAb 9.1) were studied. Small non-porous polystyrene beads (0.5${\mu}$m diameter) were used as a solid support to minimize the mass transfer interference on rate measurements. We demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally that the binding reaction is kinetically controlled. Rate measurements show that the association reaction is of second order and the dissociation reaction is of first order. Between 4 and $37^{\circ}C$ the measured equilibrium constant agrees well with the equilibrium constant calculated from the rate measurements. The temperature effects on association are much greater than on dissociation; the activation energy for association is about 9Kca1/mole, as compared to 2Kca1/mole for dissociation. The use of small non-porous beads as a solid support in binding studies essentially avoids mass transfer limitations; such a system makes it possible to determine the intrinsic binding characteristics of any immobilized antibody on a solid surface.

The point of present study was focused on developing the method for the determination of dissociation constant by means of FIA conjunction with Diode Array Spectrphotometry or spectrophotometry along with small amount of Bromocresol Green(mg order) within short time. On the calculation with computer, the indicator with pK=7 has been shown the most sensitive reaction when little amount of base or acid has been added. The pKa of Bromothymol Blue and Bromocresol Green were measured as 7.31 and 4.82 respectively with spectrophotometry after activity correction by Kielland method (Reported value by Bishop, 7.30 and 4.79). The pKa of Bromocresol Green by FIA was obtained as 4.78 and was comparable with other values determined by other methods.

The $BH_5$ molecule, which is suggested as an intermediate of the acidolysis of $BH_4^-$, contains a weak two-electron-three-center bond and it requires extremely high-level of theories to calculate the energy and structure correctly. The structures and energies of $BH_5$ and the transition state for the hydrogen scrambling have been studied using recently developed multi-coefficient correlated quantum mechanical methods (MCCMs). The dissociation energies and the barrier heights agree very well with the previous results at the CCSD(T)/ TZ(3d1f1g, 2p1d) level. We have also calculated the potential energy curves for the dissociation of $BH_5$ to $BH_3$ and $H_2$. The lower levels of theory were unable to plot correct potential curves, whereas the MCCM methods give very good potential energy curves and requires much less computing resources than the CCSD(T)/ TZ(3d1f1g,2p1d) level. The potential energy of the $BH_5$ scrambling has been obtained by the multiconfiguration molecular mechanics algorithm (MCMM), and the rates are calculated using the variational transition state theory including multidimensional tunneling approximation. The rate constant at 300 K is 2.1 × $10^9s^{-1}$, and tunneling is very important.

The glass electrode was empirically calibrated in methanol-and 2-propanol-water mixed solvents, by means of which the pH-meter reading could be converted to stoichiometric hydrogen ion concentration. The thermodynamic dissociation constants of hydrogen cupferrate in methanol-and 2-propanol-water solution were potentiometrically determined with the changes in composition of organic solvents at 0.01 and 0.05 of the ionic strength and 25$^{\circ}C$. The empirical formula of the constants with mole fraction (n) of the organic solvent are as follow: methanol-water solution $pK_a$= 2.24n + 4.29 at ${\mu}$ = 0.01 n = 0.0476∼0.642 $pK_a$ = 2.35n + 4.38 at ${\mu}$ = 0.05 n= 0.0446~0.642 2-propanol-water solution $pK_a$= 5.50n + 4.48 at ${\mu}$ = 0.05 n = 0.0253~0.259 The relationships between $pK_a$ of acetic acid, propionic acid and HCup and dielectric constant of some mixed solvents were discussed. It would be considered that the factors effecting $pK_a$ value of weak acid in mixed-solvent are not only dielectric constants but acid-base character and solvation effect of the solvent, etc.

The present study was undertaken to determine the dissociation constant (Kd)of monoclonal antibody to human apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). First the monoclonal antibody was incubated in solution with the antigen until the equilibrium was reached; then the free antibody which remains unsaturated at equilibrium was captured by binding to antigen on the microtiter plate and be measured by a classical indirect ELISA. The value of Kd determined from Scatchard plot was 0.625$\times$10^{-9}$ for purified antibody and 0.720$\times$10$^{-9}$ for unpurified antibody. This method was valuable for the measurement of true dissociation constant and found to be simple, reproducible, and accurate.

This paper is the forth paper of several companion papers which compare the method of Air-Fuel ratio determination. In the previous work, various AFR calculations were performed for various fuels and the results were compared with each other. The comparison, however, were limited to numerical value and estimation of each equation or method was insufficient. In this paper, the overall estimation of the methods was attempted. Also, the method of trouble shooting of instrumentation was presented. Through the estimation of methods, it is concluded that the Eltinge method contains inherently the most perfect thermal dissociation model as far as the exhaust composition is concerned; therefore, this might be regarded as the most general equation of AFR determination among the existing ones. The others might be considered as approximate form. In addition, the mal-distribution factor in Eltinge method is qualitatively equivalent to thermal dissociation chemical equilibrium constant K. Lastly, it is illustrated that all instrumentation error, including the sampling line leakage, can be easily detected through the analyzing the exhaust component on the Eltinge chart.

The glass electrode was empirically calibrated in dioxane-and ethanol-water mixed solvents, by means of which the pH-meter reading could be converted to stoichiometric hydrogen ion concentration. By the potentiometric titration method, the thermodynamic dissociation constants of hydrogen cupferrate (HCup) with variations of ionic concentration in aqueous solution were determined, and by the extrapolation of the constants the new thermodynamic $pK_a$ value, 3.980${\pm}$0.006, at zero ional concentration was obtained. The thermodynamic dissociation constants of HCup in dioxane-and ethanol-water solution were also potentiometrically determined with the changes in composition of organic solvents at 0.01 and 0.05 of the ionic strength(${mu}$) and 25 $^{\circ}C$. The empirical formula of the constants with mole fraction(n) of the organic solvent are as follow: Dioxane-water solution. $pK_a$= 12.96n + 4.10 at ${\mu}$ = 0.01, n = 0.0228∼0.171 $pK_a$= 12.05n + 4.23 at ${\mu}$ = 0.05, n= 0.0228∼0.171 Ethanol-water solution, $pK_a$= 4.0ln + 4.26 at ${\mu}$= 0.01, n= 0.0395∼0.262 $pK_a$= 3.83n + 4.34 at ${\mu}$= 0.05, n= 0.0395∼0.262

Kinetic and thermodynamic studies have been made on the effect of the inosine product on the activity of adenosine deaminase in a 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.5, at $27^{\circ}C$ using UV spectrophotometry and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). A competitive inhibition was observed for inosine as a product of the enzymatic reaction. A graphical-fitting method was used for determination of the binding constant and enthalpy of inhibitor binding by using isothermal titration microcalorimetry data. The dissociation-binding constant is equal to $140\;{\mu}M$ by the microcalorimetry method, which agrees well with the value of $143\;{\mu}M$ for the inhibition constant that was obtained from the spectroscopy method.

SiOC films made by the inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition were researched the relationship between the dielectric constant and the chemical shift. SiOC film obtained by plasma method had the main Si-O-C bond with the molecule vibration mode in the range of $930{\sim}1230\;cm^{-1}$ which consists of C-O and Si-O bonds related to the cross link formation according to the dissociation and recombination. The C-O bond originated from the elongation effect by the neighboring highly electron negative oxygen atoms at terminal C-H bond in Si-$CH_3$ of $1270cm^{-1}$. However, the Si-O bond was formed from the second ionic sites recombined after the dissociation of Si-$CH_3$ of $1270cm^{-1}$. The increase of the Si-O bond induced the redshift as the shift of peak in FTIR spectra because of the increase of right shoulder in main bond. These results mean that SiOC films become more stable and stronger than SiOC film with dominant C-O bond. So it was researched that the roughness was also decreased due to the high degree of amorphous structure at SiOC film with the redshift after annealing.

SiOC films were prepared by capacitively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition, and the correlation between the binding energy by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Arrhenius equation for ionization energy was studied. The ionization energy decreased with increase of the potential barrier, and then the dielectric constant also decreased. The binding energy decreased with increase of the potential barrier. The dielectric constant and electrical characteristic of SiOC film was obtained by Arrhenius equation. The dielectric constant of SiOC film was decreased by lowering the polarization, which was made from the recombination between opposite polar sites, and the dissociation energy during the deposition. The SiOC film with the lowest dielectric constant had a flat surface, which depended on how carbocations recombined with other broken bonds of precursor molecules, and it became a fine cross-linked structure with low ionization energy, which contributed to decreasing the binding energy by Si 2p, C 1s electron orbital spectra and O 1s electron orbital spectra. The dielectric constant after annealing decreased, owing to the extraction of the $H_2O$ group, and lowering of the polarity.
