폴리 인산염 모체에 이온 반경이 유사한 Sr과 Eu 치환에 적합한 형광체를 찾아 단일 희토류 이온이 첨가된 형광체를 합성하고 후처리를 통해 형광 영역이 변화를 연구하였다. 고상법을 이용하여 Eu 이온이 첨가된 $NaSr(PO_3)_3$형광체를 합성하고 탄소열환원법을 통하여 $NaSr(PO_3)_3:Eu^{2+}$ 형광체를 완성하였다. 두 형광체 모두 X선 회절 측정을 통하여 결정상을 확인하였다. $NaSr(PO_3)_3:Eu^{3+}$의 여기 및 방출 스펙트럼 모두 $Eu^{3+}$ 농도가 증가할수록 형광 강도가 증가하였고 농도소광을 확인하였다. 방출스펙트럼에서 $Eu^{3+}$ 농도가 높아질수록 $Eu^{3+}$ 주변 환경의 국부적 대칭성이 높아지는 것 알 수 있었다. $NaSr(PO_3)_3:Eu^{2+}$ 농도별 방출스펙트럼에서 $Eu^{2+}$ 이온 농도 증가에 따른 $Eu^{2+}$ 이온 사이의 임계 거리가 가장 가까운 $Eu^{2+}$ 사이의 에너지 전달에 의해 형광이 감소하는 농도소광의 메커니즘을 확인하였다. 단일 희토류 이온이 첨가된 형광체의 후처리를 통해 형광 영역 변화가 가능하며 형광체 내 $Eu^{3+}$ 주변 환경의 국부적 대칭성과 $Eu^{2+}$ 이온간 거리에 따른 에너지 전달 및 농도소광 메커니즘 연구를 통하여 형광 특성 응용에 적합하고 효율성이 높은 형광체 개발에 좋은 모체 결정으로 사용 될 것으로 기대된다.

Singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$) is an important species for oxidation in biological processes. $^1O_2$ is implicated in the genotoxic effect, and plays an important role in the cell-signaling cascade and in the induction of gene expression. However, the rapid detection of $^1O_2$ in biological environments with sufficient specificity and sensitivity is hampered by its extremely low emission probability. Here, a layer-by-layer (LbL) film of CdTe quantum dots (QDs), polymers, and ascorbate have been designed as a rapid, highly selective, and sensitive fluorescence probe for $^1O_2$ detection. Upon reaction with $^1O_2$, the probe exhibits a strong photoluminescence (PL) response even at trace levels. This remarkable PL change should enable the probe to be used for $^1O_2$ detection in many chemical and biological systems and as an environmental sensor.

Our previous studies indicated that native carbonic anhydrase does not interact with hydrophobic adsorbents and that it acquires this ability upon denaturation. In the present study, an apo form of the enzyme was prepared by removal of zinc and a comparative study was performed on some characteristic features of the apo and native forms by far- and near-UV circular dichroism (CD), intrinsic fluorescent spectroscopy, 1-anilino naphthalene-8-sulfonate (ANS) binding, fluorescence quenching by acrylamide, and Tm measurement. Results indicate that protein flexibility is enhanced and the hydrophobic sites become more exposed upon conversion to the apo form. Accordingly, the apo structure showed a greater affinity for interaction with hydrophobic adsorbents as compared with the native structure. As observed for the native enzyme, heat denaturation of the apo form promoted interaction with alkyl residues present on the adsorbents and, by cooling followed by addition of zinc, catalytically-active immobilized preparations were obtained.

A synthesis and cation-induced fluorescent behavior of the carbazole-attached $NO_2S_2$-macrocycle (L) is described and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis. The photoluminescence spectrum of L in 80% $CH_3CN/CH_2Cl_2$ displays a peak maximum at 431 nm (blue emission). In the metal-induced fluorometric experiment, L showed a drastic chelation-enhanced fluorescence quenching (CHEQ) effect only with $Hg^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$. In ESI-mass study, a 1:1 stoichiometry for complexation of L with $Hg^{2+}$ was confirmed, suggesting the unique sensing behavior of the proposed ligand L due to the selective complexation affinity for $Hg^{2+}$. The observed results indicate that L is a promising turn-off type fluoroionophore for $Hg^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$ detections. Additionally, the $Ag^+$ complex of the precursor macrocycle was prepared and its solid structure was crystallographically characterized.

Planar laser-induced fluorescence(PLIF) has been widely used to obtain two dimensional fuel distribution. Acetone PLIF is chosen because fluorescence signal from acetone as a fluorescent tracer is less sensitive to oxygen quenching than other dopants. Acetone PLIF is applied to measure quantitative air excess ratio distribution in an engine fueled with LPG. Acetone is excited by KrF excimer laser (248nm) and its fluorescence image is acquired by ICCD camera with a cut-off filter to suppress Mie scattering from the laser light. For the purpose of quantifying PLIF signal, an image processing method including the correction of laser sheet beam profile is suggested. Raw images are divided by each intensity of laser energy and profile of laser sheet beam. Inhomogeneous fluorescence images scaled with the reference data, which is taken by a calibration process, are converted to air excess ratio distribution. This investigation shows instantaneous quantitative measurement of planar air excess ratio distribution for gaseous fuel.

Cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs) are phytochrome-related photoreceptor proteins in cyanobacteria and cover a wide spectral range from ultraviolet to far-red. A single GAF domain that they contain can bind bilin(s) autocatalytically via heterologous recombination and then fluoresce, with potential applications as biomarkers and biosensors. Here, we report that a novel red/green CBCR GAF domain, SPI1085g2 from Spirulina subsalsa, covalently binds both phycocyanobilin (PCB) and phycoerythrobilin (PEB). The PCB-binding GAF domain exhibited canonical red/green photoconversion with weak fluorescence emission. However, the PEB-binding GAF domain, SPI1085g2-PEB, exhibited an intense orange fluorescence (λabs.max = 520 nm, λfluor.max = 555 nm), with a fluorescence quantum yield close to 1.0. The fluorescence of SPI1085g2-PEB was selectively and instantaneously quenched by copper ions in a concentration-dependent manner and exhibited reversibility upon treatment with the metal chelator EDTA. This study identified a novel PEB-binding cyanobacteriochrome-based fluorescent protein with the highest quantum yield reported to date and suggests its potential as a biosensor for the rapid detection of copper ions.

한국산 2년생 소의 대뇌피질로부터 synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles(SPMV)를 분리한 후 이 SPMV로부터 추출한 총지질로서 인공세포막(SPMVTL)을 제제하였다. SPMVTL의 outer monolayer에 trinitrophenyl group을 공유결합시킴으로써 SPMVTL이중층에 분포된 형광 probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene(DPH)중 outer monolayer에 분포된 DPH형광만을 소광케 하였다. 형광분석기를 통하여 SPMVTL의 inner monolayer에 비하여 outer monolayer의 유동성이 크다는 것을 확인하였다. n-Alkanols는 SPMVTL지질 이중층(inner+outer monolayers)의 회전확산운동을 증가시키되 탄소수 두개가 증가될 때마다 그 효력이 약10배 가량 증가된다는 것을 알았다. 그러나 1-decanol의 경우에는 1-nonanol에 비하여 그 효력이 낮아지는 소위 cut-off현상이 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라 n-alkanols는 SPMVTL의 inner monolayer에 비하여 outer monolayer의 회전확산운동을 주로 증가시켰다. 하지만 n-alkanols의 탄소수가 증가됨에 따라 outer monolayer에 대한 선택적인 작용이 감소된다는 것도 확인되었다.

Ethanol이 암세포 증식 속도에 미치는 직접적인 영향 검색의 일환으로 배양된 mouse myeloma cell line Sp2/0-Ag14로부터 분리한 형질막 (Sp2/0-PMV) 유동성에 미치는 ethanol의 영향을 형광분석법으로 측정하였다. 그 결과 ethanol은 Sp2/0-PMV 지질 이중층 측방확산운동의 범위와 속도를 증가시켰고 회전확산운동 범위도 증가시켰다. 특히 ethanol은 Sp2/0-PMV 지질이중층 중 내부단층 (inner monolayer)에 비하여 비교적 선택적으로 외부단층 (outer monolayer)의 회전확산운동 범위를 증가시킨다는 것을 확인하였다.

This study examined the mechanism of action of a local anesthetic, lidocaine HCl. Energy transfer between the surface fluorescent probe, 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid, and the hydrophobic fluorescent probe, 1,3-di(1-pyrenyl) propane, was used to determine the effect of lidocaine HCl on the thickness (D) of the synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles (SPMV) isolated from the bovine cerebral cortex, and liposomes of the total lipids (SPMVTL) and phospholipids (SPMVPL) extracted from the SPMV. The thickness (D) of the intact SPMV, SPMVTL and SPMVPL were $1.044{\pm}0.008$, $0.914{\pm}0.005$ and $0.890{\pm}0.003$ (arbitrary units, n=5) at $37^{\circ}C$ (pH 7.4), respectively. Lidocaine HCl decreased the thickness of the neuronal and model membrane lipid bilayers in a dose-dependent manner with a significant decrease in the thickness, even at 0.1 mM. The decreasing effect of lidocaine HCl on the membrane thickness might be responsible for some, but not all of its anesthetic action.

A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrofluorometric method was developed for the determination of folic acid (FA), based on its quenching effect on the fluorescence intensity of enoxacin (ENX)-europium ($Eu^{3+}$) complex as a fluorescent probe. Fluorometric interaction between ENX-$Eu^{3+}$ complex and FA was studied using UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy. The quenched fluorescence intensity at an emission wavelength of 614 nm was proportional to the concentration of FA. Optimum conditions for the determination of FA were investigated. Under optimal conditions, the reduced fluorescence intensity at 614 nm was responded linearly with the concentration of FA. The linearity was maintained in the range of $1.25{\times}10^{-9}$ to $1.50{\times}10^{-7}$ M (R = 0.9986) with the limit of detection ($3S_b/m$) (where $S_b$ is the standard deviation of blank and m is the slop of linear calibration curve) of $6.94{\times}10^{-10}$ M. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for 9 repeated measurements of $1.0{\times}10^{-9}$ M FA was 1.42%. This method was simple, cost effective, and relatively free of interference from coexisting substances. Successful determinations of FA in pharmaceutical formulation and biological samples with the developed method were demonstrated.
