This study was designed to investigate the stability of a lipase fused with a cellulose­binding domain (CBD) to cellulase. The fusion protein was derived from a gene cluster of a CBD fragment of a cellulase gene in Trichoderma hazianum and a lipase gene in Bacillus stearother­mophilus L1. Due to the CBD, this lipase can be immobilized to a cellulose material. Factors affecting the lipase stability were divided into the reaction-independent factors (RIF), and the re­action-dependent factors (RDF). RIF includes the reaction conditions such as pH and tempera­ture, whereas substrate limitation and product inhibition are examples of RDF. As pH 10 and $50^{\circ}C$ were found to be optimum reaction conditions for oil hydrolysis by this lipase, the stability of the free and the immobilized lipase was studied under these conditions. Avicel (microcrystal­line cellulose) was used as a support for lipase immobilization. The effects of both RIF and RDF on the enzyme activity were less for the immobilized lipase than for the free lipase. Due to the irreversible binding of CBD to Avicel and the high stability of the immobilized lipase, the enzyme activity after five times of use was over $70\%$ of the initial activity.

We studied the degree of rancidity of linoleic acid for the electrochemical redox reaction in time course and the kinetic parameters. The current of the linoleic acid was increased and the potential was shifted to the positive potential when scan rates were faster. The redox reaction of the linoleic acid was proceeding to totally irreversible and diffusion controlled reaction. From these results, diffusion coefficient(D$\_$o/) of linoleic acid was observed to 2.61$\times$10$\^$-6/ ㎠/s in the 0.1 M TEAP/DMF electrolyte solution. Also, exchange rate constant(K$\^$o/) was observed to 9.79$\times$10$\^$-11/ cm/s. The leaving time in air condition was found to affect the rancidity. We predicted that the product was carbonyl compounds.

Anodic half-reaction in the $Na^+$ ionic sensors using $Na_2CO_3$ and $MCO_3$ ($M=Cs_2,K_2,Li_2,Ca$) as a sensitive membrane is derived in continuous flow system to explain $CO_2$ sensing characteristics. For various gas-sensitive membranes, a well known overall reaction, $MCO_3\;=\;MO\;+\;CO_2$, cannot be applied for the EMF behaviors of these kinds of sensors. So, the anodic reaction is found to involve $Na_2CO_3$ and $M^{++}$-containing oxide phases by employing the ion exchange reaction at the interface of solid electrolyte and the sensitive membrane to maintain ionic balance in the whole cell. Based on the electrode reaction derived in flow system, differences of cell potentials between continuous and discontinuous flow systems were also discussed. These EMF differences were considerably caused by the partial pressures of oxygen and $CO_2$ as well as irreversible chemical reactions between electrode materials and $CO_2$ atmosphere.

In the present contribution the Encounter Theory (ET) (the prototype of the classical Collision Theory in rarefied gases) concepts for widely occurring diffusion assisted irreversible bulk reactions A + A ${\rightarrow}$ C and A + B ${\rightarrow}$ C in liquid solutions examined by the authors in the literature are analyzed and compared with each other for these different types of reactions. It is shown that for a particular case of equal initial concentrations $[A]_0=[B]_0$ in the reaction A + B ${\rightarrow}$ C, when the kinetics of both reactions A + A ${\rightarrow}$ C and A + B ${\rightarrow}$ C in the framework of formal chemical kinetics and ET are the same, the accumulation of macroscopic correlations breaking the concepts of independent encounters and leading to the Generalized Encounter Theory (GET) are drastically different. The influence of the force interaction and the decay of nonstable reactants on the time behavior the macroscopic correlations is also briefly discussed.

Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is a global problem of major concern in health care. ADRs can be accrued in any organs or systems. However, cardiovascular ADRs could be a more serious problem if they are irreversible or severe. For this reason, this study was conducted to analyze pattern and severity of cardiovascular ADRs, and suspicious medication. Total 646 reports including cardiovascular ADRs reported to the KFDA between January and June 2010 were analyzed. Amlodipine besylate (36 reports, 3.3%), iopromide (29 reports, 2.7%), tramadol HCl (28 reports, 2.6%) were most suspicious drugs that occurred cardiovascular ADRs. The most common cardiovascular ADRs were hypotension( 236 reports, 33.1%), palpitation (134 reports, 18.8%), and hypertension (89 reports, 12.5%). The most frequent ADRs were occurred in the age group of more than 60. This result could be of help to prescribers and other healthcare providers to predict and prevent cardiovascular ADRs. Also this study suggested that patients with cardiovascular ADR risk factors should be intensively monitored during the medications.

The electrochemical reduction of carbon-6-dibromo groups on 6,6-dibromo penicillanic acid 1,1-oxide(DBPA) was investigated by direct current, differential pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. The irreversible two electrons transfer on the reductive debromination of each bromo group proceeded by EC,EC mechanism at the two electrode reduction steps(-0.48, -1.62 volts). The 6-bromo-PA and 6,6-dihydro-PA was synthesized by controlled potential electrolysis. Upon the basis of results on the products analysis and interpretation of polarograms obtained at various pH, electrochemical reaction mechanism was suggested.

The electrochemical reduction of 0,0-dimethyl-0-(3-methyl-4 -nitrophenyl)-phosphorothioate ($Sumithion^{(R)}$) in acetonitrile solution has been studied by direct current (DC), differential pulse (DP) polarography and cyclic voltammetry methods. The irreversible electron-transfer chemical reaction (EC) mechanism of Sumithion proceeds by six electron-transfer to form radical and reduction of three-step which undergoes single bond of the phosphorus atom & phenoxy group by electron-transfer and protonation cleaved to give p-hydroxyamino-m-cresol and dimethylthiophosphonate as major product.

On the basis of UV spectral changes and TBA reaction, malonaldehyde (MA) in aqueous solution receives considerable photochemical modification by UV light of short wavelengths around $260m{\mu}$. When aflatoxin is added in the solution, UV light of long wavelengths around $360m{\mu}$ induces such changes quite rapidly and although the rate of change is rather slow, it is also true even with ordinary laboratory illumination(fluorescent). The modification is irreversible in nature and the role of aflatoxin in this reaction is identified as a photosensitizer. The mechanism involved in this modification is apparently due to the parallel dimerization of MA molecules, but not by head to tail combination of the molecules.

The Mo(V) $di-{\mu}-oxo$ type [$Mo_{2}O_{4}(H_{2}O)_{2}L_{2}$] $SO_{4}$ complexes(L: 2,2'-dipyridyl,4,4'-ethylenedianlline) have been prepared by the reaction of $[Mo_{2}O_{4}(H_{2}O)_{6}]SO_{4}$ with a series of chelate ligands. These complexes are completed by two terminal oxygens arranged trans to one another and each ligand forms a chelate types. In $Mo_{2}O_{4}(H_{2}O)_{2}L_{2}$, two $H_{2}O$ coordinated at trans site of terminal oxygens. The prepared complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, $^{1}H$ nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, and thermal analysis(TG-DTA). In the potential range -0.00V to -1.00V at a scan rate of $50mVs^{-1}$, a cathodic peak at -0.81V ${\sim}$ -0.87V (vs SCE) and an anodic peak at -0.61V ${\sim}$ -0.63V (vs SCE) have been observed in aquous solution. We infer these redox are irreversible reaction.

The oxidation mechanism of boratabenzene was studied. As a model compound the ferrocene analogue (${\eta}^6$-1-Methylboratabenzene)(${\eta}^5$-Pentamethylcyclopentadiennyl)iron 3 was chosen. The complex underwent irreversible oxidation in the presence of ortho proton on the ring and a methyl group on the boron atom in methanol medium. Chemical oxidations with $Hg(OAc)_2$, $HgSO_4$, $Cu(OH)_2$, $AgCF_3SO_3$ or $FeCl_3$ in MeOH gave, via a transition state [3], at first the derivates 6 and 7, which were converted to each 8 and 9.
