In order to study the protease from Agaricus bisporus (Lange), the crude protease preparation was separated by fractionation of mushroom extracts with ammonium sulfate. It was found that extracts from Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Sing. contained protease. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 6.0, and the pH range at which the enzyme was stable was 4.0 to 7.0. The optimum temperature at which the enzyme showed the highest proteolytic activity was $50^{\circ}C$, while the enzyme was instantly inactivated at about $60^{\circ}C$. The enzyme activity was inhibited by $Ag^+$, $Hg^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Ba^{2+}$, $Fe^{3+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Pb^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ and $Mn^{2+}$. The $K_m$ value was 0.32 mM with Hammarsten casein.

높은 효율의 InGaN/GaN 전광소자는 현대 조명 산업에 필수적인 역할을 하고 있다. 전광소자의 효율을 높이는 데에는 여러가지 한계들이 있다. 예를 들면 높은 전류에서의 효율 저하, GaN의 전위결함에 의한 비발광 재결합의 발생 등이 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하고자 InGaN/GaN 전광소자의 효율을 높이기 위해 사파이어 기판의 표면을 거칠게 바꾸는 방법, 무분극 전광소자, 표면 플라즈몬 등 여러가지 많은 방법들이 개발되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 유기금속화학증착 방법을 이용하여 사파이어 기판위에 Si이 도핑된 n-type GaN를 3.0 um 증착 하였고 그 위에는 9층의 양자 우물 층을 쌓았다. 마지막으로 위층은 Mg 이 도핑된 p-type GaN를 200 nm 증착 하여 소자를 형성하였다. 포토리소그래피 공정과 에칭공정을 통하여 7 um 인 선 패턴을 가진 시료를 완성하였다. 투과 전자 현미경의 측정 결과 맨 위층인 p-GaN의 에칭된 깊이는 175 nm 이였다. 금속박막을 증착하기 위해 열증착 방법으로 금과 은의 박막을 두께를 달리하여 0~40 nm증착 하였다. 금과 은의 두께에 따른 광발광 측정 결과 은(Ag)박막만 40 nm 일 경우 금속박막이 없는 시료보다 광발광 효율이 7배 증가하였고 금 10 nm와 은 30 nm 인 경우에는 3.5배 증가하였다. 또한 패턴의 폭에 따른 광발광 증가를 알아보고 광발광 증가가 일어나기 위한 최적의 패턴조건을 알고자 폭을 5, 10 um 달리하였고, 원자간 힘 현미경과 전자현미경을 이용하여 에칭된 패턴의 폭과 두께를 확인하였다. 본 실험을 통해 금과 은박막에 의한 표면플라즈몬 효과와 광발광 효율증대에 대해 토의할 것이다.

콜롬비아는 안데스 산맥의 북단에 위치하며 NS 방향의 단층대를 기준으로 지질 환경의 차이가 크다. 단층대를 기준으로 동부지역은 원생대 변성암류와 이를 피복하는 고생대 변성퇴적암류가 주로 분포하며, 서부 지역은 고생대 퇴적암류, 중생대 화성암류, 제 3 기 화산양류 및 퇴적암류가 주로 분포한다. 지화학이상대는 6개 그룹으로 분류되며, 철 (Fe), 귀금속(Au, Ag, Pt), 기초금속(Cu, Pb, Zn), 희유금속(Sn, Cr, Co, Mn, Mo, Ni, Nb, W, V, Mg, Ti, Be, REE, Ga, Zr, Hf, Se, Te, Ta, Cd, In, Li 등) 빛 핵원료자원인 U 이상대로 구성된다. 콜롬비아의 주요 부존자원은 석탄, 니켈, 금 및 에메랄드이다. 에메랄드, 석탄 및 니켈은 세계적인 매장규모와 생산량을 보인다. 콜롬비아는 탐사가 거의 수행되지 않은 지역이 전 국토의 49%에 달해 광물부존 잠재성은 현재보다 크게 높을 것으로 보인다. 따라서 최근 콜롬비아와의 광물자원 협력이 강화되고 있는 시점에서 미탐사 지역을 대상한 공동탐사를 지화학 이상대가 확인된 지역을 중심으로 수행하여 신규광체를 확보하고, 광물자원 협력을 강화함으로써 공동개발 여건을 마련할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

Two proteases were partially characterized from culture filtrate of Mycobacterium, tuberculosis KIT110. Their molecular weights were approximately 200 and 180 kDa, respectively and they exhibited similar enzymatic characteristics. These enzymes were inhibited significantly by EDTA and to some extent by EGTA. Their activity was enhanced by $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ to some degree. However, $Cu^{2+}$ and $Ag^{2+}$ completely inhibited the enzyme activity at the concentration of 2.5 and 5 mM, respectively. The optimal pH was 7.0 and optimal temperature was around $40^{\circ}C$. These enzymes were rapidly inactivated at $80^{\circ}C$. Therefore, they were heat-labile, neutral metalloproteases. These enzymes exhibited antigenicity shown by their reacting with sera from the partients with pulmonary tuberculosis. These enzymes were able to degrade serum proteins including hemoglobin, bovine serum albumin, lysozyme and immunoglobulin G and structural matrix protein such as type I collagen. Therefore, these enzymes may be thought to contribute to tissue necrosis and pathogenesis during infection.

A new rhodamine-based sensor 1 was designed and synthesized by incorporating rhodamine B and benzimidazole moieties. Sensor 1 exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity to $Cu^{2+}$ in $CH_3CN$-water solution (HEPES buffer, pH = 7.0) with an obvious color change from colorless to pink. Other metal ions such as $Hg^{2+}$, $Ag^+$, $Pb^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$, $Ba^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Ce^{3+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $K^+$ and $Na^+$ had no such color change and have no significant influence on $Cu^{2+}$ recognition process. The interaction of $Cu^{2+}$ and sensor 1 was proven to adopt a 1:1 binding stoichiometry and the recognition process is reversible.

A carboxymethyl-cellulase (CMCase) was purified from the culture supernatant of Bacillus sp. KD1014 by ultrafiltration, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and a series of chromatography on QAE-Sephadex A-50, hydroxylapatite and Sephadex G-75. The purified CMCase was a single protein of 32 kDa, showed an optimum activity at $60^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0, and had a half-life of 23 min at $70^{\circ}C$. The enzyme activity was not influenced by metal ions such as $Mg^{2+},\;Fe^{3+},\;K^+,\;Zn^{2+}$, and $Cu^{2+}$ at a concentration of 1.0 mM, partially inhibited by $Mn^{2+}$ and $Ag^+$, and significantly inhibited by pentachlorophenol (PCP). The purified enzyme showed a 3.9-times higher activity on lichenan than on CMC, but hardly cleaved xylan, starch, avicel, laminarin, filter paper and levan. The results of activity staining of the purified enzyme separated by native and denaturing gel electrophoresis suggested that the CMCase might exist in dimeric, oligomeric or aggregated form as well as in monomeric form. The enzymatic cleavage products from cellotetraose indicated that the CMCase possessed transglycosylation activity.

This study was conducted to investigate the shelf life of beef stored in antimicrobial pottery during 12days storage at 4'C and Five kinds of antimicrobial potteries were prepared with antimicrobial materials such as TiO$_2$, Ag (NO$_3$)$_2$, Cu(NO$_3$)$_2$ and Zn(NO$_3$)$_2$. In changes of color during storage, Hunter's L- and b-value of beef were not changed, but Hunter's a-value was low significantly. The pH of beef meats were low at 6 days, but were added from 6 days. TBA value of beef in "A" pottery containing TiO$_2$ 1% and "C" Pottery containing TiO$_2$ 0.5%, Cu(NO$_3$)$_2$ were lower than "B", "D" and "I" pottery. VBN contents of beef in "A", "B", "C", "D" and "I" Pottery stored during 12 days were 9.8, 12.5, 9.3, 11.9 and 13.7mg%, respectively. In changes of total plate count of beef during storage at 4$^{\circ}C$, the antimicrobial activity of "A" and "C" pottery were superior.g storage at 4$^{\circ}C$, the antimicrobial activity of "A" and "C" pottery were superior.ttery were superior.

A new phosphorescent cyclometalated heteroleptic iridium (III) complex with an ancillary ligand of 4-azacrownpicolinate was prepared and its metal ion selective phosphorescent chemosensing behavior was investigated. The new iridium (III) complex exhibits notable phosphorescence quenching for Hg2+ in aqueous 50% acetonitrile solution with respect to the selective phosphorescent detection of various metal ions including $Li^+,Na^+,K^+,Cs^+,Mg^{2+},Ca^{2+},Ba^{2+},Fe^{2+},Ni^{2+},Cu^{2+},Zn^{2+},Ag^+,Pb^{2+},Cd^{2+},Cr^{2+},Cr^{3+}$ and $Hg^{2+}$. The phosphorescence quenching for $Hg^{2+}$ increased linearly with increasing concentration of $Hg^{2+}$ in the range of $10{\mu}M-700{\mu}M$ even in the presence of other metal ions, except for $Cu^{2+}$. Consequently, the new iridium (III) complex has the potential to be utilized for the determination of parts per million levels of $Hg^{2+}$ in aqueous acetonitrile media.

The cellulase from internal organs of edible snails was purified by fractionation with ammonium sulfate, DEAE-Sephadex chromatography and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 and Superose 12 HR 10/30. The specific activity of the purified cellulase was 85.1 units/mg protein with 24.3 purification fold from crude extract. Molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be approximately 74,000 dalton by gel filtration chromatography and SDS-PAGE eletrophoresis. T7e isoelectric point of the enzyme was determined to be pH 4.6. The optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme were 5$0^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable at 30~5$0^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0~10.0. It was activates by Mn$^{2+}$, but inhibited by Li$^{2+}$, Zn$^{2+}$, Ag$^{2+}$ and Hg$^{2+}$./TEX> 2+/.

In the present study, the piezoelectricity and polarization of multilayer ceramic actuator, being designed to stack PMN-PZ-PT ceramic layers and Ag-Pd electrode layers alternatively, were investigated under a consideration of geometric factor, the volume ratio of the ceramic to the electrode layers. The actuators were fabricated by tape casting of $0.2Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3)O_3-0.38PbZrO_3-0,42PbTiO_3$ followed by lamination and burnout & co-firing processes. The actuators of $10\times10\times0.6~2\textrm{mm}^3$ in size were formed in a way that $60 ~ 200\mu\textrm{m}$ thick were stacked alternatively with $5\mu\textrm{m}$ thick electrode layer. Increases in polarization and electric field-induced displacement with thickness of the ceramic layer were attributed to change of $90^{\circ}$/$180^{\circ}$ domain ratio, which was affected by interlayer internal stress. The piezoelectricity and actuation behaviors were found to depend upon the volume ratio (or thickness ratio) of ceramic to electrode layers.
