본 연구에서는 2차원 형광스펙트럼의 PCA 분석을 통하여 발효 공정을 모니터링하고 PCR과 PLS과 같은 다변량 분석기법을 이용하여 공정을 모델링하였다. 재조합 대장균 E. coli 와 효모 S.cerevisiae의 발효 공정 중에 얻어진 많은 양의 2차원 형광스펙트럼 자료는 우선 PCA를 통해 축소된다. 그리고 PCA에서 주성분점수와 적재 산점도는 발효 공정의 정성적 경향을 묘사하기 위해 사용되었다. 또한, PCR과 PLS는 2차원 형광스펙트럼의 분석을 위해 사용되었으며 PLS모델이 보정과 예측 능력에서 PCR모델보다 조금 더 우수한 성능을 나타냈다. 따라서 2차원 형광스펙트럼 자료를 이용하여 생물공정을 모델링 하고자 할 때는 PCR 방법보다는 PLS 방법을 사용하는 것이 유리할 것이다.

Exposure of algae or plants to irradiance from above the light saturation point of photosynthesis is known as high light stress. This high light stress induces various responses including photoinhibition of the photosynthetic apparatus. The degree of photoinhibition could be clearly determined by measuring the parameters such as absorption and fluorescence of chromoproteins. In cyanobacteria and red algae, most of the photosystem (PS) II associated light harvesting is performed by a membrane attached complex called the phycobilisome (PBS). The effects of high intensity light (1000-4000 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$) on excitation energy transfer from PBSs to PS II in a cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis were studied by measuring room temperature PC fluorescence emission spectra. High light (3000 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$) stress had a significant effect on PC fluorescence emission spectra. On the other hand, light stress induced an increase in the ratio of PC fluorescence intensity of PBS indicating that light stress inhibits excitation energy transfer from PBS to PS II. The high light treatment to 3000 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$ caused disappearance of 31.5 kDa linker polypeptide which is known to link PC discs together. In addition we observed the similar decrease in the other polypeptide contents. Our data concludes that the Spirulina cells upon light treatment causes alterations in the phycobiliproteins (PBPs) and affects the energy transfer process within the PBSs.

Detection of mefenamic acid (M, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, NSAIDs) and its metallodrug was investigated using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and fluorescence spectroscopy. ESI-MS data (500 µL, 1×10-3 M) revealed high detection sensitivity for the drug and metallodrug. ESI-MS spectra revealed peaks at 242, 580, and 777 Da corresponding to [M+H]+, [63Cu(M-H)2(H2O)2+H]+, and [56Fe(M-H)3+H]+, respectively. The metal:mefenamic ratios of ESIMS spectra are in complete agreement with the fluorescence spectroscopy results (1:2 for Cu(II) and 1:3 for Fe(III)). ESI is a soft ionization technique that can be used on labile metallo-mefenamic acids and is promising for the detection of these species in environmental samples and biological fluids.

The application of time-resolved laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLIF) to the complexation studies of Eu(III) and Cm(III) with humic substances is described. Using this method, three different spectroscopic characteristics(excitation spectra, emission spectra, and lifetimes) of these aquo ions and their complexes can be directly measured. By observing shifts in the wavelength and changes in the lifetime and intensities of the fluorescence emission, the information on the complexation behavior of humic substances with these trivalent metal cations in an aqueous solution, as well as energy transfer mechanisms, can be obtained. In addition, this method allows precise spectroscopic quantification of the complexation processes at very low concentrations of both components.

Photoionization processes of TMPD in $H_2O$ and $D_2O$ were studied, by measuring steady-state absorption, emission, fluorescence excitation spectra, and fluorescence lifetimes on picosecond time scale. The steady-state absorption spectra showed that there exists a cation-ion pair (Wurster's Blue) in $H_2O$ and in $D_2O$ in the electronic ground state. Temperature and excitation wavelength dependence were also studied and the results show that the photoionization reaction in water is an activated process and the fluorescence lifetime is independent of the vibrational excess energy in the uv excitation range of 283-310 nm.

Two fluoro-substituted 2-pyrazoline derivatives, 1-phenyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-pyrazoline (1) and 1-phenyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-2-pyrazoline (2) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra. The crystal structure of 1 has been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. For the two compounds, density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the structures and natural population atomic charge analysis (NPA) have been performed at B3LYP/6-311G** level of theory. By using TD-DFT method, electron spectra of 1 and 2 have been predicted, which are very approximate with the experimental ones. Comparative studies on 1 and 2 indicate that the location change of fluorine atom in 5-position phenyl ring of 2-pyrazoline does not make significant change of geometries and electronic transition bands, but it leads to evident change of atomic charge distributions and peak intensities of UV and fluorescence spectra.

Toxic Mastoparan B(MP-B) which is purified from the venom of the hornet Vespa basalis is a cationic amphlphilic tetradecapeptide. MP-B and Its Ala-substituted analogues were synthesized by solld phase method and the toxic peptide-membrane interactions were examined by circular dichroism(CD) spectra, fluorescence spectra, and leakage abilities in phospholipid membranes. In the presence of phospholipid vesicles, synthetic MP-B and its analogues formed amphiphilic -helical structures, but in the buffer soletion, those exhibited random coil conformation as measured by CD. Fluorescence spectra of MP-B and its analogues which indicated the binding affinity of peptide on phospholipid vesicles showed that the replacement of Lys at position 2 and 11 with Ala caused a remarkable effect in the blue shalt and that at position 2, in the leakage ability of the peptide.

Conformational change of ubiquitin variant with valine to alanine mutation at sequence position 26 was studied by varying solvent pH. Fluorescence emission spectra indicated that this variant ubiquitin has some residual structures in acidic and basic solution as compared to denaturant-induced unfolded state. Far-UV circular dichroic spectra indicated that the base-denatured state had more secondary structure than the acid-denatured state. Near-UV circular dichroic spectra indicated that the aromatic side-chains were in the relatively more rigid environment in the base-denatured state than those in the acid-denatured state. Although it appears that the more tertiary structure present in the base-denatured state, refolding reactions measured by stopped-flow fluorescence device suggest that both the acid- and base-denatured states occur before the major folding transition state. The acid- and base-denatured states are considered to reflect the early event of protein folding process.

The spectral properties of piroxicam in different solvents are similar to those of its skeletal precursor, HMBDC. The maximum absorption and emission wavelengths strongly depend on the hydrogen bonding ability of the solvent, and it is shown that intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the -OH and the ortho carbonyl group of the parent benzothiazine ring plays an important role in the solvent-dependence of their spectroscopic properties. The fluorescence spectra in aprotic nonpolar solvent exhibit abnormally large Stokes-shifted (${\sim}9,000cm^{-1}$) emission bands in contrast to the spectra in water. In ethanol, dual emission bands with two different fractional components of lifetimes have been observed. These results suggest that the abnormally red-shifted emission is attributed to the proton transferred form of an intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded closed conformer.
