The present article briefly overviews the plan for a new project on joint technology for HTS wires/cables and describes the development plan for the world's highest field NMR magnet, which is a major development item in the project. For full-fledged social implementation of superconducting devices, high temperature superconducting (HTS) wire is a key technology since they can be cooled by liquid nitrogen and they can generate a super-high magnetic field of >>24 T at liquid helium temperatures. However, one of the major drawbacks of the HTS wires is their availability only in short lengths of a single piece of wire. This necessitates a number of joints being installed in superconducting devices, resulting in a difficult manufacturing process and a large joint resistance. In Japan, a large-scale project has commenced, including two technical demonstration items: (i) Development of superconducting joints between HTS wires, which are used in the world's highest field 1.3 GHz (30.5 T) NMR magnet in persistent current mode; the joints performance is evaluated based on NMR spectra for proteins. (ii) Development of ultra-low resistive joints between DC superconducting feeder cables for railway systems. The project starts a new initiative of next generation super-high field NMR development as well as that of realization of better superconducting power cables.

DMSO(dimethylsuloxide-$d_6$) 용액 속에 존재하는 CN/CN 리간드의 hemin 착물과 CN/DMSO의 hemin 착물이 $^1H$ NMR로 기록되어지고 분석되어졌다. Hemin으로의 CN 착물화 과정은 온도에 따라 변화함을 NMR 스펙트럼이 보여 주며, 한 개의 CN 리간드에서 두 개의 CN 리간드착물로 바뀌는 과정의 열역학함수는 ${\Delta}H^{\circ}=736.6cal/mol$ 및 ${\Delta}S^{\circ}=16.4eu$인 흡열과정을 나타낸다. CN/DMSO의 hemin 착물은 Curie behavior로부터의 벗어남은 high-spin 성격의 존재를 나태내고, 이는 Fe-DMSO 결합이 순간적으로 깨짐을 의미하며, 이러한 CN/DMSO hemin 착물이 한 개의 axial ligand가 약한 heme 단백질의 전자 및 분자구조의 model complex로 작용할 수 있음을 보여 준다.

계피(계지, Cinnanmomum cassia)의 주요성분인, trans-cinnamaldehyde를 $^1H-NMR$ 분광법을 이용하여 정량분석하였다. 핵자기 공명법을 이용한 정량분석의 응용가능성을 확인하기 위하여, t-cinnamaldehyde의 $^1H-NMR$ 스펙트럼에서 시료의 농도와 측정온도를 변화시킴에 따라 chemical shift의 변화와 적분값의 변화를 관찰하였다. t-Cinnamaldehyde(7.1429 mg/ml)를 19, 25, 30, 40 및 $50^{\circ}C$ 하에서 $^1H-NMR$ 측정한 결과, aldehyde methine signal(doublet)의 chemical shift가 9.7202, 9.7184, 9.7169, 9.7142 및 9.7124 ppm에서 관측되었다. 이는 측정온도는 signal의 chemical shift의 변화에 중요한 변수가 되지 않는다는 것을 의미하였다. 또한, aldehyde signal의 적분값이 $1.37(19^{\circ}C),\;1.37(25^{\circ}C),\;1.37(30^{\circ}C),\;1.37(40^{\circ}C)$ 및 $1.37(50^{\circ}C)$로써, 측정온도가 signal의 적분값에는 전혀 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 동일한 온도 $25^{\circ}C$에서 0.4464, 0.8929, 1.7857, 3.5714, 7.1429 및 14.286 mg/ml의 농도의 시료에 대한 $^1H-NMR$ 측정 결과, aldehyde기의 chemical shifts는 각각 9.7206, 9.7201, 9.7196, 9.7192, 9.7185 및 9.7174 ppm에서 나타났다. 이는 각 시료의 농도가 증가함에 따라서 aldehyde의 signal이 고자장으로 약간 이동하는 것으로 나타났다. Aldehyde기의 doublet methine signal의 적분값과 각 시료의 농도에 따른 calibration curve는 직선으로 나타났으며, 매우 높은 회귀율($r^2=1.0000$)을 보였다. t-Cinnamaldehyde와 aldehyde기를 갖는 물질로써, C. cassia의 또 다른 구성성분인 t-2-methoxycinnamaldehyde($7.1429\;mg/ml\;CDCl_3,\;25^{\circ}C$)에 대해서, $^1H-NMR$ 스펙트럼을 측정한 결과, t-cinnamaldehyde는 ${\delta}_H$ 9.7174(9.7078, 9.7270)서 관측되었다. t-2-Methoxycinnamaldehyde는 ${\delta}_H$ 9.6936(9.6839, 9.7032)에서 관측되었다. 따라서, 두 화합물의 chemical shift의 차이는 resolution 값이 0.45 Hz인 NMR 스펙트럼 상에서 충분히 구분할 수 있을 정도로 나타났다. 위의 방법을 이용하여, 추출용매에 따른 C. cassia 내의 t-cinnamaldehyde의 함량을 분석한 결과, n-hexane, $CHCl_3$ 및 EtOAc로 추출하였을 때에, 각각 94.2 mg/g(0.94%), 137.6 mg/g(1.38%), 140.1 mg/g(1.40%)으로 결정되었다.

The HP0902, a homodimeric 22.1 kDa protein, has been suggested as a putative secretory protein from Helicobacter pylori, although the protein possesses no signal peptide for secretion. Since it may be associated with the virulence of the bacterium, NMR study has been initiated in terms of structural genomics. In our previous effort to assign the backbone NMR resonances, using 800MHz NMR machine at pH 7.8, the resonances from eight of the 99 residues could not be assined due to missing of the signals. In this work, to enhance the extent of assignments, a 900 MHz machine was employed and the sample pH was reduced down to 6.5. Finally, almost all signals, except for those from G9 and S24, could be clearly assigned. The determined secondary structure using the assined chemical shifts indicated that the HP0902 consists of 11 ${\beta}$-strands with no helices. In our database search result, HP0902 was predicted to interact with VacA (Vacuolating cytotoxin A), which is a representative virulence factor secreted from Helicobacter pylori. Thus, molecular interaction between HP0902 and VacA would be worthy of investigation, on the basis of the present results of NMR assignments.

Hsp33 is a molecular chaperone achieving a holdase activity upon response to a dual stress by heat and oxidation. Despite several crystal structures available, the activation process is not clearly understood, because the structure inactive Hsp33 as its reduced, zinc-bound, monomeric form has not been solved yet. Thus, we initiated structural investigation of the reduced Hsp33 monomer by NMR. In this study, to overcome the high molecular weight (33 kDa), the protein was triply isotope-[$^{13}C$, $^{15}N$, $^2H$]-labeled and its inactive, monomeric state was ensured. 2D-[$^1H$, $^{15}N$]-TROSY and a series of triple resonance spectra could be successfully obtained on a high-field (900 MHz) NMR machine with a cryoprobe. However, under all of the different conditions tested, the number of resonances observed was significantly less than that expected from the amino acid sequence. Thus, a possible contribution of dynamic conformational exchange leading to a line broadening is suggested that might be important for activation process of Hsp33.

화장품용 방부제로 사용하고 있는 1, 2-hexanediol (HD)에 높은 농도의 lactose (300 g/l)를 넣고, 재조합 대장균 ${\beta}$-galactosidase (${\beta}$-gal)를 이용하여 galactose 한 분자를 결합시키는 transgalactosylation 반응을 시켜서, 1, 2-hexanediol galactoside (HD-gal)을 합성하였다. 그리고, 합성된 HD-gal 분자를 확인하기 위하여, HD-gal에 대한 NMR ($^1H$- and $^{13}C$-) 스펙트럼 분석과 mass 스펙트럼 분석을 실시하였다. HD-gal의 $^1H$ NMR 스펙트럼에서 HD에 갈락토실화가 되었음을 보여주는 다양한 피크를 확인하였다. $^1H$ NMR 스펙트럼의 다운필드인 ${\delta}_H$ 4.44 ppm과 ${\delta}_H$ 3.96~3.58 ppm에서 나타나는 다양한 피크들은 HD에 갈락토실화가 되었다는 것을 잘 암시하고 있으며, 또한 $^1H$ NMR 스펙트럼의 업필드에서 나타나는 ${\delta}_H$ 1.60~1.35 ppm과 0.92 ppm의 피크는 HD의 $CH_2$와 $CH_3$ 작용기로부터 나타나는 피크로써 HD가 본 물질에 존재한다는 것을 나타내고 있다. $^{13}C$ NMR 스펙트럼에서는 HD-gal의 알파-아노머와 베타-아노머의 구조에서 기인하는 총 21의 카본피크가 나타났고, 각 아노머마다 12개의 카본이 존재하는데 이중 ${\delta}_C$ 68.6, 60.9 and 13.2 ppm에 보이는 3개의 카본은 겹쳐서 나타나 총 24개의 피크 중 21개가 나타났다. 또한, 질량스펙트럼 분석에서는 protonated HD-gal인 281.1601 (m/z)의 peak를 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 종합하면, NMR ($^1H$- and $^{13}C$-) 스펙트럼 분석 결과와 질량분석 결과들은 우리가 기대했던 HD-gal의 구조와 매우 잘 일치하고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 앞으로 추가적으로, 세균에 대한 minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) 조사와 human skin cell에 대한 독성연구를 추가적으로 진행할 예정이며, 이러한 결과를 근거로 항균력을 유지하면서 피부세포에 대한 독성이 감소된 화장품용 방부제의 연구/개발이 계속되기를 기대하고 있다.

Metabolomics is a field that studies systematic dynamics and secretion of metabolites from cells to understand biological pathways based on metabolite changes. The metabolic profiling of intact human colorectal tissues was performed using high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy, which was unnecessary to extract metabolites from tissues. We used two different groups of samples, which were defined as normal and cancer, from 9 patients with colorectal cancer and investigated the samples in NMR experiments with a water suppression pulse sequence. We applied target profiling and multivariative statistical analysis to the analyzed 1D NMR spectra to identify the metabolites and discriminate between normal and cancer tissues. Cancer tissue showed higher levels of arginine, betaine, glutamate, lysine, taurine and lower levels of glutamine, hypoxanthine, isoleucine, lactate, methionine, pyruvate, tyrosine relative to normal tissue. In the OPLS-DA (orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis), the score plot showed good separation between the normal and cancer groups. These results suggest that metabolic profiling of colorectal cancer could provide new biomarkers.

The highly potent cytotoxic DNA-DNA cross-linker consists of two cyclopropa[c]pyrrolo[3,4-3]indol-4(5H)-ones insoles [(+)-CPI-I] joined by a bisamido pyrrole (abbreviated to "Pyrrole"). The Pyrrole is a synthetic analog of Bizelesin, which is currently in phase II clinical trials due to its excellent in vivo antitumor activity. The Pyrrole has 10 times more potent cytotoxicity than Bizelesin and mostly form DNA-DNA interstrand cross-links through the N3 of adenines spaced 7 bp apart. The Pyrrole requires a centrally positioned GC base pair for high cross-linking reactivity (i.e., $5^1$-T$AT_2$A*-$3^1$), while Bizelesin prefers purely AT-rich sequences (i.e., $5^1$-T$AT_4$A*-$3^1$, where /(equation omitted) represents the cross-strand adenine alkylation and A* represents an adenine alkylation) (Park et al., 1996). In this study, the high-field $^1$H-NMR and rMD studies are conducted on the 1 1-mer DNA duplex adduct of the Pyrrole where the 5′(equation omitted)TAGTTA*-3′sequence is cross-linked by the drug. A severe structural perturbation is observed in the intervening sequences of cross-linking site, while a normal B-DNA structure is maintained in the region next to the drug-modified adenines. Based upon these observations, we propose that the interplay between the bisamido pyrrole unit of the drug and central C/C base pair (hydrogen-bonding interactions) is involved in the process of cross-linking reaction, and sequence specificity is the outcome of those interactions. This study suggests a mechanism for the sequence specific cross-linking reaction of the Pyrrole, and provides a further insight to develop new DNA sequence selective and distortive cross-linking agents.

Human annexin I is a member of annexin family of calcium dependent phospholipid binding proteins, which have been implicated in various physiological roles including phospholipase A$_2$ (PLA$_2$) inhibition, membrane fusion and calcium channel activity. In this work, the structure of N-terminally truncated human annexin I (Δ-annexin I) and its interactions with Ca$\^$2+/, ATP and cAMP were studied at atomic level by using $^1$H, $\^$15/N, $\^$l3/C NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy. The effect of Ca$\^$2+/ binding on the structure of Δ-annexin I was investigated, and compared with that of Mg$\^$2+/ binding. The addition of Ca$\^$2+/ to Δ-annexin I caused some changes in the high field and low field regions of $^1$H NMR spectra. Whereas, upon addition of Mg$\^$2+/ to Δ-annexin I, almost no change could be observed. Also we found that the binding ratio of ATP to Δ-annexin I is 1. Because Δ-annexin I is a large protein with 35 kDa molecular weight, site-specific (carbonyl-$\^$l3/C, amide-$\^$15/N) labeling technique was used to determine the interaction sites of Δ-annexin I with Ca$\^$2+/ and ATP. Assignments of all the histidinyl carbonyl carbon resonances have been completed by using Δ-annexin I along with its specific 1,2-subdomain. The carbonyl carbon resonances originating from His52 and His246 of Δ-annexin I were significantly affected by Ca$\^$2+/ binding, and some Tyr and Phe resonances were also affected. The carbonyl carbon resonances originating from His52 is significantly affected by ATP binding, therefore His52 seems to be involved in the ATP binding site of Δ-annexin I.

대장균 효소 𝛽-gal를 이용하여 합성된 phenylethanol galactoside (PhE-gal)의 분자구조를 NMR (¹H-와 ¹³C-)과 고성능 mass spectrometry를 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 PhE-gal은 ¹H NMR에서 2-phenylethanol (PhE)에 갈락토실기가 도입되었음을 나타내는 피크가 나타났다. 방향족 고리에서 오는 𝛿_H 7.30~7.21 ppm의 피크와 𝛿_H 2.88 ppm에 나타난 벤질기 위치의 CH₂에서 오는 피크는 PhE가 존재함을 나타낸다. 지방족 사슬 영역인 𝛿_H 4.31 ppm, 4.07 ppm과 𝛿_H 3.86~3.38 ppm에서 나타나는 7개의 proton 피크로부터 단당류가 도입되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. ¹³C NMR 스펙트럼에서 나타난 12개의 탄소 피크 중 4개의 피크는 방향족 고리인 페닐기로부터, 또한 단당류에서 기인한 6개의 탄소피크가 존재하므로 PhE에 단당이 도입되었음을 알 수 있다. PhE-gal의 분자량을 확인하기 위하여 질량분석기로 분석한 결과 m/z가 307.1181인 PhE-gal의 sodium adduct ion ([M+Na]⁺)이 나타나 생성물이 PhE-gal임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과 E. coli 𝛽-galactosidase에 의한 촉매반응으로 PhE에 갈락토즈가 첨가된 생성물인 PhE-gal이 성공적으로 생합성 되었음을 확인하였다.
