  • A variety of different methods to generate diverse proteins, including random mutagenesis and recombination, are currently available, and most of them accumulate the mutations on the target gene of a protein, whose sequence space remains unchanged. On the other hand, a pool of diverse genes, which is generated by random insertions, deletions, and exchange of the homologous domains with different lengths in the target gene, would present the protein lineages resulting in new fitness landscapes. Here we report a method to generate a pool of protein variants with different sequence spaces by employing green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a model protein. This process, designated functional salvage screen (FSS), comprises the following procedures: a defective GFP template expressing no fluorescence is firstly constructed by genetically disrupting a predetermined region(s) of the protein, and a library of GFP variants is generated from the defective template by incorporating the randomly fragmented genomic DNA from E. coli into the defined region(s) of the target gene, followed by screening of the functionally salvaged, fluorescence-emitting GFPs. Two approaches, sequence-directed and PCR-coupled methods, were attempted to generate the library of GFP variants with new sequences derived from the genomic segments of E. coli. The functionally salvaged GFPs were selected and analyzed in terms of the sequence space and functional property. The results demonstrate that the functional salvage process not only can be a simple and effective method to create protein lineages with new sequence spaces, but also can be useful in elucidating the involvement of a specific region(s) or domain(s) in the structure and function of protein.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 screen printed 탄소계 전극에 기반하여 기능성 식품중에 포함된 소량의 Sildenafil과 Vardenafil(SDF 및 VDF)을 쉽게 검출하기 위한 전류계 면역센서를 개발하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 면역센서는 horseradish peroxidase로 labeling 시킨 후 비경쟁적 샌드위치 ELISA 측정법에 의한 원리를 이용하였다. 개발된 센서는 그래핀 산화물 및 키토산(ErGO-CS) 복합체를 단순한 전기화학적 증착에 의해 screen printed 탄소계 전극을 이용하는 원리이며, 감지된 화학물질을 평가하고 센서특성을 최적화하기 위해 전기 화학적 임피던스분광법, 순환 전압 전류법 등을 포함한 일련의 전기화학적 실험방법에 기초하여 완성되었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 센서는 100 pg/mL ~ 300 ng/mL 농도의 SDF 및 VDF에 대하여 직선상의 농도-의존적인 반응을 나타내었다. 또한 최저 검출 한계는 55 pg/mL이었으며, 센서의 민감도는 $1.02{\mu}Ang/mL/cm^2$로 산출되었다. 센서의 성능은 7.1%의 상대 표준편차로 매우 우수한 재현성을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 센서의 전략적 가치는 향후 건강기능식품중에 함유된 SDF 및 VDF과 같은 의약품의 미량을 현장에서 쉽게 분석 할 수 있어서 비용-효과적 측면에서 그 가치가 우수하다는 것을 제시한다.

  • Recently, it has been developed for Eco-environment, Super light, Multi-functional nano materials. As needed mobile parts in Smart phone or TV, computer, information communication for high pass signal, multi-function, Magnetic thin film materials have been developed. As last, magnetic powder, sintered and sputtering parts were thick and low purity than electroplating layer, low pass signal and noise were resulted, vibrated TV screen. Because chemical complex temperature was high and ununiform surface layer, it has been very difficult for data pass in High Frequency (GHz) area. Large capacity data pass is used to GHz. Above GHz, signal pass velocity is dependent on Skin Effect of surface layer. If surface layer is thick or ununiform, attachment is poor, low pass signal and cross talk, noise are produced and leaked. It has been reported technical trend of Electrochemically plating and Surface treatment of Metal, Polymer, Ceramic etc. by dispersion/complex for Multi functional nano-magnetic material in this paper.

  • High functional catalyst to efficiently produce clean and earth-abundant renewable fuels plays a key role in securing energy sustainability and environmental protection of our society. Hydrogen has been considered as one of the most promising energy carrier as represented by focused research works on developing catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) from the water hydrolysis over the last several decades. So far, however, the major catalysts are expensive transition metals. Here using first principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations we screen various pyrites for HER by identifying fundamental descriptor governing the catalytic activity. We enable to capture a strong linearity between experimentally measured exchange current density in HER and calculated adsorption energy of hydrogen atom in the pyrites. The correlation implies that there is an underlying design principle tuning the catalytic activity of HER.

  • N type calcium channels (CaV2.2) play a key role in the gating of transmitter release at presynaptic nerve terminals. These channels are generally regarded as parts of a multimolecular complex that can modulate their open probability and ensure their location near the vesicle docking and fusion sites. However, the proteins that comprise this component remain poorly characterized. We have carried out the first open screen of presynaptic CaV2.2 complex members by an antibody-mediated capture of the channel from purified rat brain synaptosome lysate followed by mass spectroscopy. 589 unique peptides resulted in a high confidence match of 104 total proteins and 40 synaptosome proteome proteins. This screen identified several known CaV2.2 interacting proteins including syntaxin 1, VAMP, protein phosphatase 2A, $G_{o\alpha}$, G$\beta$ and spectrin and also a number of novel proteins, including clathrin, adaptin, dynamin, dynein, NSF and actin. The unexpected proteins were classified within a number of functional classes that include exocytosis, endocytosis, cytoplasmic matrix, modulators, chaperones, and cell-signaling molecules and this list was contrasted to previous reports that catalogue the synaptosome proteome. The failure to detect any postsynaptic density proteins suggests that the channel itself does not exhibit stable trans-synaptic attachments. Our results suggest that the channel is anchored to a cytoplasmic matrix related to the previously described particle web.

  • Currently, functional patterns are formed by screen printing on stretchable films, and they are applied to wearable and stretchable devices. In this study, three types of silver paste were prepared using three polyester binders with different Tg and molecular weights in order to impart elasticity to the conductive pattern itself. Rheological properties and DSC measurements were performed for each silver paste. Then, each silver paste was screen printing and cured by an IR dryer to evaluate adhesive strength, pencil hardness, resistance and surface shape change according to strain. As a result, it was found that the silver paste using a binder with a low Tg and a high molecular weight has the smallest resistance change depending on the strain. Namely, it was found that it is most preferable to use a binder with a low Tg and a high molecular weight as the stretchable electrode.

  • In this study, we propose a miniaturized micro-ceramic heater device. After screen-printing a silver paste between pre-sintered two aluminum oxide plates to integrate a heating circuit, the device was fabricated through a low-temperature sintering process. In order to configure the optimal heating circuit integration condition, the output current evaluation and heating test were performed according to the number of screen prints of the silver paste at various voltages. A silver paste-based heating circuit printed with a line width of 200 ㎛ and a thickness of 60 ㎛ was successfully integrated on a pre-sintered alumina substrate through a low-temperature sintering process. In the case of the 5 times printed device, the thermal response showed a response rate of 18.19 ℃/sec. To demonstrate feasibility of the proposed device in the medical field, such as bio-tissue suturing and hemostasis, a voltage was applied to pig tissue in the device to test tissue change due to heat generated from the device. These results show the possibility that the proposed small ceramic heater could be used in the medical field based on its excellent temperature response.
