  • It has been known that the inertial dynamics has a little effect on the reaction rate in solutions. In this work, however, we find that for diffusion-controlled reactions between a ligand and a receptor on the cell surface there is a noticeable inertial dynamic effect on the reaction rate. We estimate the magnitude of the inertial dynamic effect by comparing the approximate analytic results obtained with and without the inertial dynamic effect included. The magnitude of the inertial dynamic effect depends on the friction coefficient of the ligand as well as on the relative scale of the receptor size to the distance traveled by the ligand during its velocity relaxation time.

  • The cross peak intensities versus mixing times of 2D NOESY spectrum for a corepressor L-trp were simulated for the case of a ligand exchanging between free (AX) and bound (A'X') forms in protein/DNA complex. The direct NOE (I(AX)) of the free ligand exhibited a small positive intensity indicative of the strong dominant influence of the bound ligand. The exchange-mediated NOE peak (I(AX')) was very sensitive to corepressor exchange. However, both diagonal (I(A'A')) and direct NOE (I(A'X')) intensities of the bound ligand were not affected much at initial stage. Both peaks were severely influenced by exchange at mixing times of greater than 100 ms. In conclusion, since the NOE intensity is a function of exchange rate, the exchange effect should be considered to properly extract accurate distance information for bound ligand in the presence of conformational exchange.

  • Batch binding experiments were performed to assess the recovery performance of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) bound to the unshielded and polymer (polyvinyl pyrrolidone. PVP)-shielded dye-ligand (Cibacron Blue 3GA) adsorbent. The adoption of a polymer-shielded, dye-ligand technique facilitated the elution efficiency of bound G3PDH. It was demonstrated that the recovery of G3PDH using polymer-shielded dye-ligand adsorption yielded higher elution efficiency, at 60.5% and a specific activity of 42.3 IU/mg, after a low ionic strength elution (0.15 M NaCl). The unshielded dye-ligand yielded lower elution efficiency. at 6.5% and a specific activity of 10.2 IU/mg.

  • The 77 K emission and excitation, and room-temperature UV-visible spectra of $\Lambda$-fac[Cr(L-ala)$_3$] (ala = alanine anion) have been measured. The ten electronic transitions due to spinallowed and spin-forbidden are assigned. With the observed electronic transition energies, ligand field optimizations have been performed to determine the bonding properties of L-alanine anion toward chromium(III). The angular overlap model (AOM) parameters obtained indicate that it is electron-donating ligand which has values of e$_{\sigma}O$, e$_{\pi}O$, and e$_{\sigma}N$ slightly lower than those of glycine anion (gly). It seem that the decrease of the ligand field properties is due to steric effect of extra methyl group and inductive effect of adjacent carbonyl group.

  • The affinity chromatographic technique was applied to the isolation of Thromboxane Synthase, with a variety of imidazolyl alkanoic acids coupled Sepharose 2B including a gel (G in Table 4) which has one free COOH group in the bound affinity ligand. The effect of ligand structure on the "affinity" and "selectivity" for thromboxane synthase isolation is described.

  • The orientation effect of galactose ligand on hepatocyte attachment was investigated. Poly(N-p-vinyl benzyl-o-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranosyl-D-gluconamide) (PVLA), a ${\beta}$-galactose-carrying styrene homo-polymer, was used as a model ligand for the asialoglycoprotein receptors on hepatocytes. PYVA was transferred onto the poly(${\gamma}$-benzyl L-glutamate)(PBLG) or PBLG/ poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)/PBLG Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films as the monolayer level. The dichroic fluorescence values of confocal microscope indicated that the PVLA transferred onto the LB films was located with a preferential orientation of its molecular axes with regard to the direction of the a-helix of polypeptide. Hepatocyte recognized well-oriented galactose moieties of the surface of PVLA through asialoglycoprotein receptors.

  • The electrochemistry and valence tautomerism of CoⅢ(N-N)(SQ)(Cat), [N-N=N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA); SQ=3,5- or 3,6-di-tert-butyl-semiquinone, Cat=3,5- or 3,6-di-tert-butyl-catechol], have been investigated by spectroscopic, electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical methods in nonaqueous solvents under anaerobic condition. The transition temperature between tautomers is dependent upon the donation effect of substituted quinone ligand and solvent. It increases with the increase of donation effect of solvent and quinone ligand. CoⅢ(TMEDA)(SQ)(Cat) is reduced to [CoⅡ(TMEDA)(SQ)(Cat)]-, and then reduces to [CoⅡ(TMEDA)(Cat)2]2-. CoⅢ(TMEDA)(SQ)(Cat) is oxidized to [CoⅢ(TMEDA)(SQ)2]+, but the stability of the oxidized form in DMF is dependent upon the solution temperature. With the increase of solution temperatrue the oxidized form may be converted to [CoⅡ(TMEDA)(SQ)(BQ)]+ by intramolecular electron transfer from SQ ligand to CoⅢ.

  • The effect of Ligand Binding energy in quantum rod (CdS/ZnS) plays a critical role in anisotropic growth. As mimicking large chain of ligands and using the head of the chain, I plan to bind the quantum rod and ligands so that it can grow well consequently. So the ultimate goal of this study is on how ligand binding can affect the growth of this quantum rod. There are preferred surfaces between the quantum rod and ligands, and we empirically know that ligands which bind the quantum rod; Phosphoric oxide (PO), Phosphoric acid(PA), Carboxylic acid(CA), Trimethylamine(TMA), have strong tendency to be attached on the surfaces of CdS/ZnS; ($11{\bar{2}}0$), ($10{\bar{1}}0$), ($000{\bar{1}}$), (0001). I virtually bond the surface and the ligands, and calculated the ligand binding energy after optimizing their structure, utilizing EDISON simulator. After all, I figured out how they are linked each other and how the quantum rod grows.

  • A new bis-Ru(II) complex, in which two [Ru(1,10-phenanthroline)$_2$dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine]$^{2+}$ were tethered by a 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane linker, was synthesized and its binding mode and stoichiometry to DNA was investigated by optical spectroscopy including linear dichroism (LD) and fluorescence intensity measurement. The magnitude of the negatively reduced LD signal of the bis-Ru(II) complex in the dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (DPPZ) ligand absorption region appeared to be similar compared to that in the DNA absorption region, which is considered to be a diagnostic for DPPZ ligand intercalation. The binding stoichiometry measured from its LD magnitude and enhanced fluorescence intensity corresponds to one ligand per three DNA bases, effectively violating the nearest neighbouring site exclusion model for classical DNA intercalation. This observation is in contrast with monomer analogue [Ru(1,10-phenanthroline)$_2$dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine]$^{2+}$, which is saturated at the DPPZ ligand to DNA base ratio of 0.25, or one DPPZ ligand per four nucleobases.
