In the paper, mild solvent soluble alkyl group modified epoxy resins were prepared via a three-step method; (1) the condensation reaction of dodecyl phenol (DP) and formaldehyde, (2) the crosslinking reaction of dodecyl phnol novolac compound (DPC) and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, (3) the dodecyl phenol novolac epoxy resins containing fatty acid (DPFA) was prepared by introducing fatty acid to DPC. Equivalent ratios of DP and formaldehyde were 1.25~1.333/1.0. Equivalent ratio of DPC and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (YD-128) was 1.0/2.0. Reactivity, viscosity, molecular weight, solvent solubility, and physical properties of DPFA were investigated. The result show that as the number of aromatic ring of DPFA increased, viscosity increased and solvent solubility improved. When we test the properties of coatings by blending the synthesized DPFA with a white pigment, DPFAC-5 using triphenylphosphine (TPP) as a ring-open catalyst showed optical performance for drying time, adhesion, hardness, impact resistance, acid resistance and storage stability.

In this work, we prepared the carbon paper from chopped carbon fibers using a gas diffusion matrix in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells by wet processing. The process of making carbon paper using wet processing is consisted of the three steps involving the dispersion of chopped carbon fibers, the preparation of the carbon fiber web, the impregnating of phenol resin. This work was focused on finding the optimal surfactant to make the carbon paper with 2D orientation of carbon fibers by investigating the dispersion state of carbon fibers in different dispersion solutions. Furthermore, the effect of phenol resin and carbon black contents on properties of electric conductivity was analyzed. As a result, it is confirmed that the carbon fiber was well dispersed when using sodium dodecyl sulfate as a surfactant, and the carbon paper with 8 wt% of phenol and 5 wt% of carbon black contents showed the most excellent electrical property.

In this work, modified epoxy resins which were well melted in mild solvent were synthesized and solubility assessment was carried out for synthesized epoxy resins. Bisphenol-A type, phenol novolac type and ortho-cresol novolac type epoxy resins were used and fatty acid, dodecyl phenol (DP) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) were added for synthesis of modified epoxy resins containing fatty acid (MEFA). Composition was epoxy resin/fatty acid = 1.0/0.5 and fatty acid/DP = 0.25/0.25 by equivalent weight and twelve MEFAs were synthesized according to epoxy resins. Viscosity and solubility were measured for twelve MEFAs. As a result, solubility of MEFA was excellent for mild solvent according to increasement of contents of benzene ring, glycidyl group and carbon number of alkyl group. And physical properties were measured for each coating of paints after preparing transparent paints of MEFA to melt well in mild solvent among twelve MEFAs. As a result, they showed an optimal performance on conditions of equivalent ratio of bisphenol-A type epoxy resin/fatty acid/DP/TDI; 1.0/0.25/0.25/0.5 and equivalent ratio of phenol novolac type epoxy resin/fatty acid/DP; 1.0/0.25/0.25 for drying time, adhesion, hardness, impact resistance and alkali resistance.

The distribution of peroxidase activity in 9 kinds of cruciferous plants was investigated. Among the plants examined, peroxidase activity was found to be high levels in roots of Chinese cabbage. One kind of peroxidase was purified approximately 56-fold from crude extracts of Chinese cabbage roots. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 50, 000 and consisted oif a single polypeptide chain, as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Sephadex G-150 gel column chromatography. The enzyme showed optimum activity at pH 7.0 and $50^{\circ}C$. Phenol and phenol derivatives serves as substrates of the enzyme and Km value for $H_2O_2$ was 1.6 mM toward pyrogallol. The enzyme showed a Soret band at 406 nm and this result indicate that the enzyme contained heme as a prosthetic group. The immunochemical and electrophoretic properties of purified peroxidase from Chinese cabbage were very similar to horseradish peroxidase.

Mushroom tyrosinase (MT) structural changes in the presence of $Cu ^{2+}$ and $Ni ^{2+}$ were studied separately. Far-UV CD spectra of the incubated MT with the either of the metal ions indicated reduction of the well-ordered secondary structure of the enzyme. Increasing in the maximum fluorescence emission of anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid (ANS) was also revealing partial unfolding caused by the conformational changes in the tertiary structure of MT. Thermodynamic studies on the chemical denaturation of MT by dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) showed decrease in the stability of MT in the presence of $Cu ^{2+}$ or $Ni ^{2+}$ using their activation concentrations. Both activities of MT were also assessed in the presence of different concentrations of these ions, separately, with various monophenols and their corresponding diphenols. Kinetic studies revealed that cresolase activity on p-coumaric acid was boosted in the presence of either of the metal ions, but inhibited when phenol, L-tyrosine, or 4-[(4-methylphenyl)azo]-phenol was substrate. Similarly, catecholase activity on caffeic acid was enhanced in the presence of $Cu ^{2+}$ or $Ni ^{2+}$, but inhibited when catechol, L-DOPA, or 4-[(4-methylbenzo)azo]-1,2-benzenediol was substrate. Results of this study suggest that both cations make MT more fragile and less active. However, the effect of the substrate structure on the MT allosteric behavior can not be ignored.

Monodispersed $Bi_2O_2CO_3$ nanoplates with an average width of 320 nm and thicknesses of 50-90 nm were successfully synthesized by a simple solvothermal method in a mixture solution of polyethylene glycol and $H_2O$. The obtained nanoplates were characterized by means of XRD, FT-IR, SEM and TEM. The effect of surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate on the morphology of $Bi_2O_2CO_3$ product was investigated. Under simulated solar light irradiation, $Bi_2O_2CO_3$ nanoplates exhibited superior photocatalytic activities towards the degradation of RhB as well as high chemical stability upon cycling photocatalytic test. The nanoplates also showed promising photodegradation ability for eliminating refractory pollutant of phenol. The excellent photocatalytic performance of $Bi_2O_2CO_3$ nanoplates as compared with P25-$TiO_2$ endows them as promising high efficiency photocatalysts.

고형오구의 분산안정화 작용은 고체 입자의 계면에 흡착한 계면활성제에 의한 전기적 반발력과 입체적 보호작용에 영향을 받게 된다. 특히 현재 시판세제의 조성에서 비이온계 계면활성제의 혼합이 점차 중요시되는 이때 입체적 보호작용에 의한 고형오구의 분산안정성은 의류제품의 세척성 제고에 좋은 정보가 되리라 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구는 시판되고 있는 세제 대부분이 음-비이온계 계면활성제의 혼합으로 되어 있는 점을 고려하여 음이온 계면활성제로서 D5S(sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate), 비이온계 계면활성계 NPE(nonyl phenol polyoxyethylene ether, EO$_{10}$) 혼합용액에서 음이온과 비이온계 계면활성제의 입자에의 흡착과 고형오구의 안정성을 관련시켜 고찰하였다.

This work was carried out to study physiological characteristics of Rhodosporidium toru[oides cells having two different mating types. The mating type A produces internal. cell wall-bound, and external invertases while type a produces only two invertases except external invertase. Comparing their characteristics after partial purification of internal invertases from both mating type cells, invertase from type a has decreased 15% of invertase activity only by $Mn^{2+}$ I while invertase from type A has been increased 11% of invertase activity by $Zn^{2+}$ and decreased 15% of invertase activity by $Mn^{2+}$ On the effect of enzyme inhibitor, invertase of type a was inhibited from 12% to 57% by 2-mercaptoethanol, sodium dodecyl sulfate, phenol. but invertase of type A was slightly inhibited only by phenol. The thermal stability of both invertases has showed steep inactivation at above $80^{\circ}C$ and their optimal temperatures were similar at $60^{\circ}C$ . Invertase from type A showed stability only on condition of acid from pH 3 to 6 and its opimal pH was 5.0, while invertase from type a showed stability at the wide range of pH 3-10 and its optimal pH was 4.0. And the $K_m$ values of invertases from type A and type a were $2.5{\times}10^3$M and$3.4{\times}10^3$M, respectively.

The multiple 7S globulins composed of two fractions (A and B) in the electrophoresis with Davis' method were isolated at different stages of the soybean seed development. Electrophoresis of their subunits liberated in PAWU solvent [phenol-acetic acid-water (2 : 1 : 1) solution plus 5M urea] yielded 4 major bands. Observation of both the electrophoretic bands of the multiple 7S fractions(7S-A and 7S-B) and those of their subunits was suggestive of a similarity of the subunit pattern between two 7S fractions. The two fractions in multiple 7S globulins were isolated with DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column$(2.0{\sim}100cm)$ chromatography. They were separated into 2 fractions in a linear gradient concentration of 0.28 to 0.40M NaCl with phosphate buffer (pH 7.8) containing 10mM ${\beta}-mercaptoethanol$(ME). The isolated protein was dissociated into subunits with two different solvent systems; in PAWU solvent and in Tris-HCl buffer(pH 8.0) containing 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 40mM ME. The dissociated subunits were subjected to electrophoresis in PAWU-treated 7.5% acrylamide gel and in 1% SDS-treated 5.6% acrylamide gel. In PAWU gel electrophoresis, total 7S globulin was separated into 5 major bands, two of which were occupied in common by two 7S fractions(7S-A and 7S-B). In SDS gel electrophoresis, total 7S globulin was separated into 7 major bands, three of which were overlapped with the subunit of the two 7S fractions. The above results alluded us to the presence of a common and/or similar subunit between the multiple 7S globulins.

Labelling of chromatin proteins with 32P was observed after incubating isolated liver nuclei with $[{\gamma}-32P]$ ATP for 5 minutes at $37^{\circ}C$. The pattern of labelling with 32P was examined on SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with nuclei from rats maintained in a starvation state for 48 hours, following refeeding for 12 hours; and from fed streptozotocin-diabetic rats with insulin injection 6 hours before sacrifice. With 48h starved rat liver nuclei the level of phosphorylation for 0.14M NaCl soluble proteins was decreased in the molecular weights between 41,000 and 200,000 daltons relative to normal controls. Refeeding the starved rats reversed the change of phosphorylation pattern over 12 hour The level of phosphorylation for five phenol soluble non-histone proteins with molecular weights above 59,000 daltons was somewhat decreased with 48h starved rat liver nuclei as compared with that of normal controls. Starvation also decreased the phosphorylation level of major histones in relation to normal controls. The experiment with insulin injection into fed streptozotocin-diabetic rats showed the tendency to increase phosphorylation of 0.14M NaCl soluble proteins (130,000 dalton protein) and phenol soluble non-histone proteins (155,000 dalton protein). The phosphorylation level of histones appeared to be invariant under the experimental conditoins employed here. These results suggest the possibility that the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of 0.14M NaCl soluble proteins and $H_1$ histone precede those of other chromatin associated nuclear proteins, It is of interest to find that insulin signal was correlated to phosphorylation of nuclear proteins while glucagon signet dephosphorylated nuclear proteins.
