Fast kinetics of transient pH changes and difference spectrum formation have been investigated following mixing of ADP/ATP with partially purified plasma membrane PM-ATPase of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans in the presence of five nutrients: glucose, glutamic acid, proline, lysine, and arginine and two analogs of glucose: 2-deoxy D-glucose and xylose. Average $H^+$- absorption to release ratio, indicative of population of ATPase undergoing complete hydrolytic cycle, was found to be 0.27 for control. This ratio varied between 0.25 (proline) to 0.36 (arginine) for all other compounds tested, except for glucose. In the presence of glucose, $H^+$- absorption to release ratio was exceptionally high (0.92). While no UV difference spectrum was observed with ADP, mixing of ATP with ATPase led to a large conformational change. Exposure to different nutrients restricted the magnitude of the conformational change; the analogs of glucose were found to be ineffective. This suppression was maximal in the case of glucose (80%); with other nutrients, the magnitude of suppression ranged from 40-50%. Rate of $H^+$- absorption, which is indicative of E~P complex dissociation, showed positive correlation with suppression of conformational change only in the case of glucose and no other nutrient/analog. Mode of interaction of glucose with plasma membrane $H^+$-ATPase thus appears to be strikingly distinct compared to that of other nutrients/analogs tested. The results obtained lead us to propose a model for explaining glucose stimulation of plasma membrane $H^+$-ATPase activity.

과냉각도가 0.35 K보다 작은 영역에서 ice dendrite의 결정 성장 특성 및 morphology는 과냉각도 뿐만 아니라 자연대류의 함수임을 관찰하였다. 즉, 결정 성장에 대한 자연대류의 영향은 결정 성장 자체에 의한 moving boundary 효과보다 우세함을 알 수 있었다. 본 실험 범위에서 ice dendrite의 성장 속도 및 tip size(edge 및 basal plane)를 과냉각도의 함수로 정량화하였다.

The surface rheological properties of polymer monolayer show complicated non-linear viscoelastic flow phenomena when they are subjected to spreading flow. These spreading flow properties are controlled by the characteristics of flow units. The kinetics of the formation of an interfacial film obtained after spreading poly(diisobutylene maleic acid) at air-water interface were studied by measuring of the surface pressure with time. The experimental data were analyzed theoretically according to a nonlinear surface viscoelastic model. The values of dynamic modulus, static modulus, surface viscosities and rheological parameters in various area/ monomer were obtained by appling experimental data to the equation of nonlinear surface viscoelastic model.

The glass-ceramics for ferro-electric were made from compositions of 70PbO.16TiO2.8SiO2.4B2O3.2AlPO4 (wt%) and 67.5PbO.20TiO2.8.5SiO2.2B2O3.2AlPO4 (wt%). The crystallization kinetics for PbTiO3 crystalline phase formation from glass was studied using non-isothermal DSC techniques. The values of activation energy, ΔE using variables of heating rate and temperature were calculated at various reaction fractions obtained from peak area over DSC. The results indicated that activation energy was lowest at 60% reaction fractions and the activation energy of glass containing 20.0 wt% TiO2 is higher than that of glass containing 16.0 wt% TiO2. The crystallization mechanism was three dimensional growth (n=4).

케로신과 디젤은 단일 구성물이 아닌 여러 가지 탄화수소 연료로 이루어진 혼합연료이며 화학반응 메커니즘에 대한 모델링이 매우 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 Dagaut가 개발한 298 화학종, 2352 화학반응 단계를 이용하였으며 완전혼합반응기 연소모델을 적용하여 농후 연소 비평형 화학 반응을 계산하였다. 또한 Frenklach의 soot 모델을 적용하여 soot 생성 연구를 수행하였으며 Dagaut의 화학반응 모델에 Appel이 제안한 화학 반응 단계를 추가하여 케로신과 디젤 연료에 대한 soot 모사를 가능하게 하였으며 수정된 모델은 간단한 soot 반응 메커니즘을 사용하였음에도 불구하고 soot 생성 예측이 가능하였다.

Escherichia coli transcription termination factor Rho catalyzes the unwinding of RNA/DNA duplex in reactions that are coupled to ATP binding and hydrolysis. We report here the kinetic mechanism of presteady state ATP binding and hydrolysis by the Rho-RNA complex. Presteady state chemical quenched-flow technique under multiple turnover condition was used to probe the kinetics of ATP binding and hydrolysis by the Rho-RNA complex. The quenched-flow presteady state kinetics of ATP hydrolysis studies show that three ATPs are bound to the Rho-RNA complex with a rate of $4.4\;{\times}\;10^5M^{-1}s^{-1}$, which are subsequently hydrolyzed at a rate of $88s^{-1}$ and released during the initiation process. Global fit of the presteady state ATP hydrolysis kinetic data suggests that a rapid-equilibrium binding of ATP to Rho-RNA complex occurs prior to the first turnover and the chemistry step is not reversible. The initial burst of three ATPs hydrolysis was proposed to be involved in the initialization step that accompanies proper complex formation of Rho-RNA. Based on these results a kinetic model for initiation process for Rho-RNA complex was proposed relating the mechanism of ATP binding and hydrolysis by Rho to the structural transitions of Rho-RNA complex to reach the steady state phase, which is implicated during translocation along the RNA.

Silicide formation process and the formation sequence were investigated in this study. It was postulated that the formation of the second silicide phase involves glass formation between the first silicide phase and Si given that a thin metal film is deposited on a Si substrate. The concentration of glass was assumed to be located where the free energy of the liquid alloy with respect to the first nucleated compound and solid Si (${\Delta}$G') is most negative. It was also mentioned that the glass concentration is close to the composition of the second phase in order to achieve the maximum energy degradation. It was shown that the minimum ${\Delta}$G' concentration can be estimated by interpolating the portion of the liquidus where the liquid alloy is in equilibrium with the two solid constituents, namely the first compound phase and Si, thereby forming a hypothetical eutectic.

하이드레이트의 존재가 밝혀진 이후 계속적인 실험연구를 통해 평형조건, 열역학적 특성, 구조 kinetics 등 하이드레이트의 기본적 물성에 대한 연구가 지속되어 왔다. 자연 상태에 존재하는 하이드레이트가 미래의 주요한 비재래형 에너지원으로 주목되면서 다공질 저류암 내에서의 하이드레이트 형성 및 해리 메커니즘 규명의 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다공질 암석코어를 사용하여 실험을 수행할 수 있는 실험장비를 제작하여 하이드레이트 형성실험을 수행하였다. 우선, 다공질암 공극 내에서의 하이드레이트 평형조건을 산출하고 기존의 실험결과와 비교함으로써 연구에 사용된 실험장비 및 실험방법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 하이드레이트의 형성실험을 수행하여 압력 및 전기저항의 변화를 통해 다공질암 공각 내에서의 하이드레이트 형성현상을 관찰하였으며, 초기 물포화도가 하이드레이트 형성과정에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

효소촉매반응은 통상적으로 반응속도가 매우 빠르고 동시에 높은 선택성을 보여 주는 특정이 있다. 단순 효소촉매 반응속도식을 보통 Michaelis-Menten식이라고 부른다. 효소의 활성을 간섭하는 화학물질을 저해제라고 하는데, 효소활성의 저해에는 가역적저해와 비가역적저해의 두 가지 형태로 나타난다. 만일 저해제가 수소결합과 같은 약한 결합으로 효소에 붙게 되면 이런 경우 효소저해는 가역적인 저해로 나타난다. 많은 효소 반응들은 그 반응으로부터 생성되는 생성물 자체에 의해서도 가역적 저해를 받게 된다. 생성물의 생성속도와 더불어 기질의 감소속도식은 비선형 미분방정식으로 나타 낼 수가 있다. 본 연구는 공학 분야의 학부교육을 목적으로 단순 효소반응속도식과 보다 더 복잡한 저해 효소반응속도식에 대한 수치해석의 결과를 보고 하고자 한다.

The regulation of gene expression in procaryotes is accomplished primarily at the level of transcription. Initiation of transcription is subject to numerous promoter-specific controls which act to ensure coordinate expression of disparate genes. The kinetics of formation of a functional("open") complex at a promoter, prior to the catalytic steps of RNA chain initiation and elongation, is thought to play a major role in controlling the efficiency of transcription of that promotor, since the subsequent processes of nucleotide binding and phosphodiester bond formation are rapid and are not promoter-specific (Mangel and Chamberlin, 1974 Shimamoto et al., 1981)
