  • The amylosucrase encoding gene from Deinococcus geothermalis DSM 11300 (DgAS) was codon-optimized and expressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme was employed for biosynthesis of three different dihydroxybenzene glucosides using sucrose as the source of glucose moiety. The reaction parameters, including temperature, pH, and donor (sucrose) and acceptor substrate concentrations, were optimized to increase the production yield. This study demonstrates the highest ever reported molar yield of hydroquinone glucosides 325.6 mM (88.6 g/l), resorcinol glucosides 130.2 mM (35.4 g/l) and catechol glucosides 284.4 mM (77.4 g/l) when 400 mM hydroquinone, 200 mM resorcinol and 300 mM catechol, respectively, were used as an acceptor substrate. Furthermore, the use of commercially available amyloglucosidase at the end of the transglycosylation reaction minimized the gluco-oligosaccharides, thereby enhancing the target productivity of mono-glucosides. Moreover, the immobilized DgAS on Amicogen LKZ118 beads led to a 278.4 mM (75.8 g/l), 108.8 mM (29.6 g/l) and 211.2 mM (57.5 g/l) final concentration of mono-glycosylated product of hydroquinone, catechol and resorcinol at 35 cycles, respectively, when the same substrate concentration was used as mentioned above. The percent yield of the total glycosides of hydroquinone and catechol varied from 85% to 90% during 35 cycles of reactions in an immobilized system, however, in case of resorcinol the yield was in between 65% to 70%. The immobilized DgAS enhanced the efficiency of the glycosylation reaction and is therefore considered effective for industrial application.

  • 자생종과 귀화종의 토양 pH를 측정한 결과 자생종의 토양 pH범위는 5.33~7.20인 반면 귀화 종의 토양 pH는 3.95~6.48로 자생종에 비하여 귀화종의 pH가 낮았다. 귀화식물 추출액 50% 농도 이상부터는 잔디의 발아율이 60% 미만으로 급격하게 억제되었으며 망초추출액이 가장 현저한 발아억제를 보인 반면, 자생식물인 차풀의 30%와 50% 추출액농도에서 발아율이 증가하였다. 자생식물과 귀화식물 추출액에 의한 잔디의 유근생장 억제는 각 농도에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만 차풀의 경우는 15% 이상의 추출액 농도에서 유근생장이 60% 이상 현저하게 억제되었다. HPLC에 의한 차풀추출액의 성분 분석 결과는 254nm에서 protocatechuic acid, $ ho$-hydroquinone, $\rho$-coumaric acid, ferulic acid가 분석되었고 284nm에서는 vanillic acid, hydroquinone, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid가 분석되었다. Phenolic compound 각 농도로 잔디의 발아와 유근생장을 조사한 결과 ferulic acid와 vanillic acid는 잔디의 발아율을 증가시켰고 $\rho$-coumaric acid는 유근생장을 억제시켰다.

  • The temperature dependence on the electron transfer rate constant $(k_{app})$ for hydroquinone redox center in $H_2Q(CH_2)_n$SH-SAMs (n = 1, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12) on gold electrode was investigated to obtain reorganization energy $(\lambda)$ using Laviron’s formalism and Arrhenius plot of ln $[k_{app}/T^{1/2}]$ vs. T^{-1} based on the Marcus densityof-states model. All the symmetry factors measured for the SAMs were relatively close to unity and rarely varied to temperature change as expected. The electron tunneling constant $(\beta)$ determined from the dependence of the $k_{app}$ on the distance between the redox center and the electrode surface gives almost the same $\beta$ values which are quite insensitive to temperature change. Good linear relationship of Arrhenius plot for all $H_2Q(CH_2)_n$SH-SAMs on gold electrode was obtained in the temperature range from 273 to 328 K. The slopes n Arrhenius plot deduced that $\lambda$ of hydroquinone moiety is ca. 1.3-1.4 eV irrespectively of alkyl chain length of the electroactive SAM.

  • A graphene-Zn/Al layered double hydroxide composite film was simultaneously prepared by electrochemical deposition on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (G-LDH/GCE) from the mixture solution containing GO and nitrate salts of $Zn^{2+}$ and $Al^{3+}$. The modified electrode showed good electrochemical performances toward the simultaneous electrochemical detection of hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CA) and resorcinol (RE) due to the unique properties of graphene (G) and LDH such as large active surface area, facile electronic transport and high electrocatalytic activity. The redox characteristics of G-LDH/GCE were investigated with cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The well-separated oxidation peak potentials, corresponding to the oxidation of HQ, CA and RE, were observed at 0.126 V, 0.228 V and 0.620 V respectively. The amperometric response of the modified electrode exhibited that HQ can be detected without interference of CA and RE. Under the optimized conditions, the oxidation peak current of HQ is linear with the concentration of HQ from 6.0 ${\mu}M$ to 325.0 ${\mu}M$ with the detection limit of 0.077 ${\mu}M$ (S/N=3). The modified electrode was successfully applied to the direct determination of HQ in a local tap water, showing reliable recovery data.

  • Addition of reducing agents during extrusion markedly affected physical and chemical properties of wheat flour and gluten extrudates. Expansion at the die was increased for wheat flour and gluten extrudates. Organic materials containing sulfur were evaporated as a flavor from gluten at the die and total sulfur contents were decreased. Physical shape was different for gluten extrudates without reducing agents. It was difficult to form the long strand of gluten extrudate without cooling die. Hydroquinone accelerated cell breakdown and produced more irregular shape of extrudate. However, addition of cysteine decreased the cell breakdown and produced the long strand of gluten extrudates. Chemical reactions of reducing agents such as cysteine and hydroquinone were different for high content (<80%) of wheat gluten. It was assumed that reducing agents donated hydrogen to inhibit the formation of disulfide crosslinking, decreased the dough strength and produced the broken cell and irregular shape of extrudates. Whereas, cysteine reacted as a binder as well as reducing agent and formed long strands. The evidence of reaction of reducing agents was shown from the fact that non-protein disulfide was increased and protein disulfide was slightly decreased from cysteine added gluten extrudate.

  • The electrocatalytic activities and surface roughness of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrodes have been investigated after thermal treatment at 100, 150, or $200^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, 2 h, or 8 h. To check electrocatalytic activities, the electrochemical behavior of four electroactive species (p-hydroquinone, $Ru(NH_3){_6}^{3+}$, ferrocenemethanol, and $Fe(CN){_6}^{4-}$) has been measured. The electron transfer rate for p-hydroquinone oxidation and ferrocenemethanol oxidation increases with increasing the incubation temperature and the incubation period of time, but the rate for $Ru(NH_3){_6}^{3+}$ is similar irrespective of the incubation temperature and period because $Ru(NH_3){_6}^{3+}$ undergoes a fast outer-sphere reaction. Overall, the electrocatalytic activities of ITO electrodes increase with increasing the incubation temperature and period. The surface roughness of ITO electrodes increases with increasing the incubation temperature, and the thermal treatment generates many towering pillars as high as several tens of nanometer.

  • DeniLite$^{TM}$ laccase immobilized platinum electrode was used for amperometric detection of hydroquinone (HQ) and homogentisic acid (HGA) by means of substrate recycling. In case of HQ, the obtained sensitivity is 280 nA/ ${\mu}$M with linear range of 0.2-35 ${\mu}$M ($r^2$ = 0.998) and detection limit (S/N = 3) of 50 nM. This high sensitivity can be attributed to chemical amplification due to the cycling of the substrate caused by enzymatic oxidation and following electrochemical regeneration. In case of HGA, the obtained sensitivity is 53 nA/ ${\mu}$M with linear range of 1-50 $[\mu}M\;(r^2$ = 0.999) and detection limit of 0.3 ${\mu}$M. The response times ($t_{90%}$) are about 2 seconds for the two substrates and the long-term stability is 60 days for HQ and around 40-50 days for HGA with retaining 80% of initial activities. The very fast response and the durable long-term stability are the principal advantages of this sensor. pH studies show that optimal pH of the sensor for HQ is 6.0 and that for HGA is 4.5-5.0. This shift of optimal pH towards acidic range for HGA can be attributed to the balance between enzyme activity and accessibility of the substrate to the active site of the enzyme.

  • 분자량과 관능기수가 각각 다른 4가지의 polypropylene glycol(PPG)과 toluene-2, 4-diisocyanate(2, 4-TDI)를 이용하여 polyurethane prepolymer(NCO terminated)를 합성한 후 NCO기 말단에 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(2-HEMA)를 반응시켜 PPG계 polyurethane methacrylates 수지를, PPG대신에 bisphenol A(BPA)를 이용하여 BPA계 polyurethane dimethacrylate 수지를 합성하였다. 합성된 PPG계 polyurethane dimethacrylate 수지에 반응성희석제인 triethylene glycol dimethacrylate(TEGDMA), 중합개시제인 cumene hydroperoxide(CHP) 중합금지제인 hydroquinone(HQ)를 첨가하였을 때, 첨가량변화에 따른 토오크강도의 변화를 고찰하였고, BPA계 polyurethane dimethacrylate 수지와 블렌드하였을때의 조성비에 따른 토오크강도의 변화를 고찰하였다. 토오크 측정결과, TEGDMA 40wt%, cumene hydroperoxide 4wt%, hydroquinone 200 ppm이 첨가되었을 때, 가장 큰 토오크강도를 나타내었으며, PPG계와 BPA계를 블렌딩하였을 때는 PPG/BPA가 4/6일 때 가장 큰 토오크강도를 나타내었다. 반응성희석제인 triethylene glycol dimethacrylate(TEGDMA), 중합개시제인 cume hydroperoxide(CHP), 중합금지제인 hydroquinone(HQ)를 동일하게 첨가한 후, 분자량과 관능기수가 다른 PPG계 polyurethane dimethacrylate 수지들의 열경화시의 토오크강도를 측정한 결과, 관능기수가 같은 수지들(PD750, PD1000, PD2000)의 경우에는 분자량이 적은 수지(PD750)일수록 큰 토오크강도를 나타내었고, 관능기수가 많을수록(PT 700) 큰 토오크강도를 나타내었다. 개시제만을 첨가한 후, 열경화를 통해서 얻어진 PPG계 수지들의 겔들을 DSC분석을 통해서 Tg변화를 측정하여 본 결과, 경화시 분자량이 가장 적고, 관능기수가 가장 많은 PT 700이 가장 큰 폭의 Tg증가를 나타내었으며, 분자량이 가장 큰 수지인 PD 2000이 가장 적은 폭의 Tg증가를 나타내었다. 그리고, Tg를 통해서 가교점간 분자량 Mc를 측정한 결과, 가장 큰 폭의 Tg를 보인 PT 700가 가장 적은 Mc를 가지고 있었다. 따라서, PT 700이 경화시 가장 조밀한 망목구조를 형성한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
