열분해 온도와 체류시간을 달리하며 급속 열분해 공정을 통해 얻어진 백합나무 바이오오일로부터 분말 형태의 열분해리그닌(pyrolytic lignin)을 회수하였다. 바이오오일을 구성하고 있는 열분해리그닌의 특성을 이해하고 급속 열분해 실험 조건 - 반응 온도, 체류시간 - 이 열분해 과정에서 리그닌에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 수율을 비롯한 다양한 화학적, 구조적 분석을 수행하였다. 열분해 온도가 증가하고, 체류시간이 줄어들수록 바이오오일로부터 회수되는 열분해리그닌의 수율은 증가하였다. 열분해리그닌의 분자량은 백합나무 MWL (milled wood lignin)에 비해 1/10 수준인 약 1,200 mol/g로 측정되었다. 열분해리그닌 내 포함된 작용기 함량과 $^{13}C$ NMR 분석을 통해 바이오매스가 열분해되는 동안 탈메톡실화 반응과 리그닌의 propane side chain 분해반응이 우세하게 일어난다는 사실을 확인하였다.

Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is one of the most effective biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs). It has been approved by the US FDA to use in drug delivery systems due to controlled and sustained-release properties, low toxicity, and biocompatibility with tissue and cells. In the present review, the structure and properties of PLGA copolymers synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of DL-lactide and glicolide were characterized using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Methods of preparation and characterization, various surface modifications, encapsulation of diverse anticancer drugs, active or passive tumor targeting and different release mechanisms of PLGA nanoparticles are discussed. Increasing experience in the application of PLGA nanoparticles has provided a promising future for use of these nanoparticles in cancer treatment, with high efficacy and few side effects.

저분자량의 laminarin은 항산화능과 같은 생물학적 물성이 고분자량의 laminarin과 비교하여 증가하였다는 최근의 연구 결과들이 보고되었다. 이러한 저분자화에 따른 laminarin 생물활성의 증가 원인을 밝히고자 본 논문에서는 이온화 방사선 조사를 통하여 얻어진 저분자량 laminarin의 분자구조에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 15 kDa 크기의 분자량을 갖는 laminarin을 이온화 방사선 조사를 이용하여 13.5, 8.5, 7, 6 kDa 크기의 저분자량 laminarin 시료들을 얻었다. 얻어진 저분자량 laminarin은 고분자량 laminarin에 비하여 낮은 polydispersity 값을 가졌다. 방사선 조사에 의한 저분자화에 따른 laminarin 기능기들의 변화를 확인하기 위하여 Fourier-transform infrared 분석을 수행한 결과, 분자량 감소에 따라서 대부분의 기능기들의 변화는 관찰되지 않았지만, carbonyl group의 증가가 확인되었다. Laminarin 입자의 scanning electron microscopy 분석으로부터 저분자량 laminarin에서 glycosidic 결합의 분해에 의한 입자 균열이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과들은 laminarin과 같은 다당류의 저분자화에 따른 기능성 변화 연구에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Reactive oxygen species(ROS) can induce hepatotoxicity and trigger apoptosis in the liver. In this study, we investigated the sulfated polysaccharide A-1 from Opuntia ficus-indica against alcoholic oxidative stress in human liver Hep G2 cell. An antioxidant substance A-1 obtained from the enzymatic extract of Opuntia ficus-indica fruit was purified by DEAE-cellulose ion exchange and sephadex G-100 gel permeation chromatography. The purification yield and molecular weight were 14.3% and 1.8 KDa, respectively. The A-1 predominately contained arabinose, galactose, rhamnose and also sulfate group. The structure of A-1 was investigated by periodate oxidation, FT-IR spectroscopy, $^1H$-NMR spectroscopy. The A-1 mainly composed of alternating unit of ${\rightarrow}4$)-$\alpha$-L- Rapp-2-$SO_3^-$-$\alpha$-L-Galp-($1{\rightarrow}$ and branched linkage of $\beta$-D-Arbp- ($5{\rightarrow}$. The antioxidative activity was measured using the SOD, CAT activity and GSH assay, respectively. The expression of Nrf2 protein was analyzed by western blotting. The viable cell count analyzed by autofluorescence. Oxidative stress induced by ethanol(1 M) were dramatically reduced by A-1 treatment. A-1 also prevented cell death induced by oxidative stress. It also increased expression Nrf2 protein level. We concluded that sulfated polysaccharide A-1 from Opuntia ficus-indica effectively protect Hep G2 liver cell from alcoholic oxidative stress.

A gene for a putative glucoamylase, stg, of a hyperthermophilic archae on Sulfolobus tokodaii was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant glucoamylase (STGA) had an optimal temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ and was extremely thermostable with a D-value of 17 hr. The pH optimum of the enzyme was 4.5. Being different from fungal glucoamylases, STGA hydrolyzed maltotriose (G3) most efficiently. Gel permeation chromatography and sedimentation equilibrium analytical ultracentrifugation analysis showed that the enzyme existed as a dimer. STGA was stable enough to hydrolyze liquefied com starch to glucose in 4 hr at $90^{\circ}C$ with a yield of95%. Comparison of the $k_{cat}$ values for the hydrolysis and the reverse reaction at $75^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ indicated that glucose production by STGA was more efficient at $90^{\circ}C$ than $75^{\circ}C$. Therefore, STGA showed great potential for application to the industrial glucose production process due to its high thermostability.

Methanol and/or boiling water extraction of 201 natural products and subsequent MTT assay using MT-4 cell line was carried out to screen the anti-HIV-1 activity. Among 97 methanol extracts, 7 extracts from Chrysanthemi Indicium Flos, Magnoliae Cortex, Machili Cortex, Reynoutriae Rhizoma, Lithospermi Radix, Agastachis Herba, and Chaenomelis Fructus showed anti-HIV-1 activity and their SI value were 2.25 to 5.77. In addition, among 119 boiling water extracts, 10 extracts from Lonicerae Caulis et Foloium, Elsholtziae Herba, Leonuri Herba, Portulacae Herba, Schizonepetae Herba, Curcumae Rhizoma, Amomi Cardamomi Fructus, Cirsii Radix et Herba, Carpesii Herba, and Siegesbeckiae Herba showed anti-HIV-1 activity and their SI value were 1.30 to 7.64. Methanol extracts of above seven natural products were fractionated and the anti-HIV-1 activity of each fraction was examined. Extraction was carried out with hexane, chloroform, butanol, and water to trace active anti-HIV-1 componets. As a result, the water fraction of Magnoliae Cortex, Machili Cortex, Reynoutriae Rhizoma, Agastachis Herba, Chaenomelis Fructus and the butanol fraction of Chrysanthemi Indicium Flos, Reynoutriae Rhizoma showed anti-HIV-1 activity and their SI value were 1.40 to 8.02. We could reach a conclusion that studies to trace the anti-HIV-1 active component of each natural products in further fractionation and to identify its structure by Infrared spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography were needed.

Panel level packaging (PLP) 공정은 차세대 반도체 패키징 기술로써 wafer level packaging 대비 net die 면적이 넓어 생산 단가 절감에 유리하다. PLP 공정에 적용되는 구리 재배선 층 (RDL, redistribution layer)은 두께 불균일도에 의해 전기 저항의 유동이 민감하게 변화하기 때문에 RDL의 두께를 균일하게 형성하는 것은 신뢰성 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 구리 RDL은 주로 도금 공정을 통해 형성되며, 균일한 도금막 형성을 위해 도금조에 평탄제를 첨가하여 도금 속도를 균일하게 한다. 도금막에 대한 흡착은 주로 평탄제의 imine 작용기에 포함된 질소 원자가 관여하며, imine 작용기의 4차화에 의한 평탄제의 흡착 정도를 제어하여 평탄제 성능을 개선할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 도금 평탄제에 포함된 imine 작용기의 질소 원자를 4차화하여 구리 RDL의 도금 두께 불균일도를 제어하고자 하였다. 유기첨가제와 4차화 반응을 위해 알킬화제로써 dimethyl sulfate의 비율을 조절하여 각각 0, 50, 100 %로 4차화 반응을 진행하였다. 평탄제의 4차화 여부를 확인하기 위해 gel permeation chromatography (GPC) 분석을 실시하였다. 도금은 20 ~ 200 um의 다양한 배선 폭을 갖는 구리 RDL 미세패턴에서 진행하였으며, 4차화 평탄제를 첨가하여 광학 현미경과 공초점 레이저 현미경을 통해 도금막 표면과 두께에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. GPC 분석을 통해 4차화 반응 후 알킬화제에 의해 나타나는 GPC peak이 감소한 것을 확인하였다. 광학 현미경 및 공초점 레이저 현미경 분석 결과, 4차화된 질소 원자가 존재하지 않는 평탄제의 경우, 도금 시 도금막의 두께가 불균일하였으며 단면 분석 시 dome 형태가 관찰되었다. 또한 100 % 4차화를 실시한 평탄제를 첨가하여 도금 한 경우 마찬가지로 두께가 불균일한 dish 형태의 도금막이 형성되었다. 반면, 50 % 4차화를 적용한 평탄제를 첨가한 경우, 도금막 단면의 형태는 평평한 모습을 보였으며 매우 양호한 균일도를 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 이로 인해 imine 작용기를 포함한 평탄제의 4차화 반응을 통해 구리 RDL의 단면 형상 및 불균일도가 제어되는 것을 확인하였으며, 4차화된 imine 작용기의 비율을 조절하여 높은 균일도를 갖는 구리 RDL 도금이 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.

The debranching enzyme of Nostoc punctiforme (NPDE) is a novel enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of $\alpha$-1,6-glycosidic linkages in starch, followed by the sequential hydrolysis of $\alpha$-1,4-glycosidic linkages. The debranching activity of NPDE is highly specific for branched chains with a degree of polymerization (DP)>8. Moreover, the rate of hydrolysis of $\alpha$-1,4-linkages by NPDE is greatly enhanced for maltooligosaccharides (MOs) with a DP>8. An analysis of reaction mixtures containing various starches revealed the accumulation of maltooctaose (G8) with glucose and maltose. Based on the novel enzymatic properties of NPDE, an MO mixture containing more than 60% G8 with yield of 18 g G8 for 100 g starch was prepared by the reaction of NPDE with soluble starch, followed by ethanol precipitation and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The yield of the G8-rich mixture was significantly improved by the addition of isoamylase. In summary, a 4-step process for the production of a G8-rich mixture was developed involving the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch by NPDE.

An attempt was made to correlate the polymerization temperature and rheological and thermal properties of acrylonitrile (AN)-acrylamide (AM) copolymers. The copolymers were synthesized at different polymerization temperature. The copolymer structure was characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and Infrared spectrum (IR). The rheological and thermal properties were investigated by a viscometer and differential scanning calorimeter-thermogrametric (DSC-TG) analysis, respectively. When the polymerization temperature increased from $41^{\circ}C\;to\;65^{\circ}C$, the molecular weight $(\bar{M}_w)$ of copolymers decreased from 1,090,000 to 250,000, while its conversion increased from $18\%\;to\;63\%$, and the polymer composition changed slightly. To meet the requirements of carbon fibers, the rheological and thermal properties of products were also investigated. It was found that the relationship between viscosity and $\bar{M}_w$ was nonlinear and the viscosity index (n) decreased from 3.13 to 2.69, when the solution temperature increased from $30^{\circ}C\;to\;65^{\circ}C$. This suggests the dependence of viscosity upon $\bar{M}_w$ is higher at lower solution temperature. According to the result of activation energy, the sensivity of viscosity to solution temperature is higher for AN-AM copolymers synthesized at higher polymerization temperature. The result of thermal analysis shows that the copolymers obtained at higher polymerization temperature are easier to cyclization evidenced from lower initiation temperature. The weight loss behavior changed irregularly with polymerization temperature due to irregular change of liberation heat.
