This study is aimed to estimate the $PM_{2.5}$ source apportionment at Seoul intensive monitoring site located in Seoul metropolitan area. Time-resolved chemical compositions of $PM_{2.5}$ are measured in real time using ambient ion monitor, semi-continuous carbon monitor, and on-line XRF at Seoul intensive monitoring site in 2010. The mass concentration of $PM_{2.5}$ was simultaneously monitored with eight ionic species (${SO_4}^{2-}$, $NO_3{^-}$, $Cl^-$, $NH_4{^+}$, $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$), two carbonaceous species (OC and EC), and fourteen elements (Si, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, As, Se, Pb) in 1-hr interval. The data sets were then analyzed using EPA PMF version 3 to identify sources and contributions to $PM_{2.5}$ mass. EPA PMF modeling identified eight PM2.5 sources, including soil dust, secondary sulfate, secondary nitrate, motor vehicle, coal combustion, oil combustion, biomass burning, and municipal incineration. This study found that the average $PM_{2.5}$ mass was apportioned to anthropogenic sources such as motor vehicle, fuel combustion, and biomass burning (61%) and secondary aerosols, including sulfate and nitrate (38%).

Dark to pale green-colored, Cr-bearing sericites from hydrothermal alteration zone of the Narim gold deposit were investigated mineralogically and geochemically. The alteration zone is composed mineralogically of quartz, carbonate minerals and green sericite with minor amounts of chlorite, barite and sulfide minerals (pyrite, sphalerite, galena). The zone is enriched in As (967 to 1520 ppm), Cu (31 to 289 ppm), Ni (1027 to 1205 ppm), Pb (0.20 to 1.24 wt.%) and Zn (1.03 to 1.07 wt. %) compared with fresh rocks such as granitic gneiss, porphyritic biotite granite and basic dyke. The Cr, probably the chromophore element, is highly enriched in the alteration zone (1140 to 1500 ppm), host granitic gneiss (1200 ppm) and porphyritic biotite granite (1200 ppm). Occurrence and grain size of sericite are diverse, but most of the Cr-bearing sericites (150 to $200{\mu}m$ long and 20 to $30{\mu}m$ wide) occur along the boundaries between ore veins and host rocks (especially basic dyke and granitic gneiss). X-ray diffraction data of the sericite show its monoclinic form with unit-cell parameters of $a=5.202{\AA}$, $b=8.994{\AA}$, $c=20.103{\AA}$, ${\beta}=95.746^{\circ}$ and $V=935.83{\AA}^3$, which are similar with the normal 2M1-type muscovite. Representative chemical formula of the sericite is ($K_{1.54}Ca_{0.03}Na_{0.01}$)($Al_{3.42}Mg_{0.38}Cr_{0.14}Fe_{0.06}V_{0.02}$)($Si_{6.69}Al_{1.31}$)$O_{20}(OH)_4$. The Cr content increases with decrease of the octahedral Al content, and ranges from 0.36 to 2.58 wt.%. DTA and TG curves of the sericite show endothermic peaks at $342^{\circ}$ to $510^{\circ}$, $716^{\circ}$ to $853^{\circ}$ and $1021^{\circ}C$, which are due to the expulsion of hydroxyl group. The total weight loss by heating is measured to be about 8.8 wt. %, especially at $730^{\circ}C$. Infrared absorption experiments of the sericite show broad absorption band due to the O-H bond stretching vibration near the $3625cm^{-1}$, coupled with the 825 and $750cm^{-1}$ doublet. The vibration bands related with the H-O-Al and Si-O-Al bonds occur at $1030cm^{-1}$ and 500 to $700cm^{-1}$, respectively. Based on paragonite content of the sericite, the formation temperature of the Narim gold deposit is calculated to be $220{\pm}10^{\circ}C$.

안동심성암체는 3개 암상으로 구분되는 동원성 마그마로부터 유래되었다. 이 암체는 전체적으로 중앙부에 각섬석 흑운모 토날라이트가 노출되고 이의 연변부에 흑운모 화강섬록암이 놓이며, 상단부(복동부)에 반상 흑운모 화강암이 놓인다. 결과적으로 이들은 토날라이트를 중심으로 하는 동심원상 분포를 하며, 중앙부에 고온 광물군의 고철질 암석이 우세하고 연변부와 상단부로 갓수록 보다 저온 광물군의 규장질 암석이 우세한 역누대를 나타낸다. 이 암체의 모드 및 화학 자료는 중앙부에서 연변부, 상단부 순으로 역누대 조성변화를 보여준다. 이 조성변화는 인접하는 암상간에서 매우 점이적으로 변화한다. 각섬석과 흑운모 등의 고철질 광물은 중앙부의 토날라이트에서 가장 풍부하고 연변부로 갈면서 감소하고 상단부로 갈수록 더욱 감소한다. 석영과 K-장석 등의 규장질 광물은 이와 반대로 변화한다. 화학적으로도 고철질 광물을 지배하는 원소들은 중앙부에서 최고치이고 이로부터 연변부와 상단부로 갈수록 점차 감소되는 양상을 보이며, 반면에 규장질 광물을 주로 지배하는 원소들은 이와 반대 양상을 나타낸다. 이 역누대 심성암체는 열중력확산작용과 분별결정작용에 의해 수정된 마그마챔버의 상부 규장질 부분 속으로 하부의 더 고철질 부분이 재이동(소생)된 결과이다. 진화의 초기 단계에 , 이 마그마챔비는 하부에 토날라이트질, 중부에 화강섬록암질, 상부에 화강암질 마그마를 갖는 화학적 조성누대를 이룬 암석화학계이었다. 후기 단계에 챔버 기저에서 더 고철질 마그마의 유입에 의해 하부의 토날라이트질 조성대가 상부의 규장질 조성대 속으로 재이동을 야기시켰다.

The host rocks of titaniferous magnetite deposits in Gonamsan are alkaline gabbros, which are typical of undersaturated alkaline rocks in terms of the lack of normative quartz. According to field occurrences and petrographic features, these alkaline gabbros are divided into 3 rock types: coarse-grained and pegmatitic rock, medium-grained rock with equigranular texture, and layered cumulate rock. All these rocks mainly contain clinopyroxene(salite), plagioclase(An 43-66), pargasite, and ilmenite. The accessory minerals are apatite, sphene, quartz, and sometimes titaniferous magnetite. Pargasite, sphene, and quartz are considered to be secondary minerals formed by the reaction among clinopyroxene, plagioclase and Fe-Ti oxide at deuteric stage. Fe-Ti oxides generally occur as ilmenite in the alkaline rocks, and titaniferous magnetite in the ore deposits. Layered cumulate rocks are characterized by a recurrence of discontinuous thin mesolayer of clinopyroxene-pargasite within leucolayer mainly composed of plagioclase. Clinopyroxene is cumulus mineral whereas plagioclase, ilmenite and apatite occur as intercumulus minerals. According to the variation diagrams of oxide and trace element contents against the differentiation index, incompatible elements, such as Na, Ba and Sr, show positive correlations whereas compatible elements, such as Mg and Cr, show negative correlations. However some compatible elements, such as Co, Ni and V show irregular variations, reflecting relative cumulate status of cumulus and intercumulus minerals. On the de la Roche multicationic diagram, these alkaline gabbros are distributed along the differentiation curve of undersaturated alkaline series from alkaline basaltic composition through basanitic composition to tephritic composition. Layered cumulate rocks, which are distributed between basanitic composition and tephritic composition, reflect their cumulate character, slightly scattering away from the curve. The medium-grained rock shows higher contents in Ba, Sr and light rare earch elements than the coarse-grained and pegmatitic rock. The former shows two times higher contents of total rare earth elements than the latter, $while(La/Lu)_{cn}$ ratios maintain fairly constant values of 5.08~5.06 in these two rocks. This means that coarse-grained and pegmatitic rock, as compared with the medium-grained rock, was formed by the earlier differentiated magma but rare-earth element distribution pattern remained almost parallel during differentiation. From the data the above mentioned, these alkaline gabbros are considered to be comagmatic and to be formed by intrusions of differentiated magmas in its reservoir.

탄소분말과 Nujol oil의 carbon paste 혼합물에 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN)을 섞어서 Cu(Ⅱ)이온에 감응하는 수식전극을 제작하였다. Cu(II) 이온이 포함된 완충용액에 전극을 담구어 전위를 가하지 않고 PAN-수식전극의 표면에 Cu(II) 이온을 석출시킨 후, 전해액으로 옮겨 일정시간 동안 일정 전위에서 환원시켰다. 그런 다음 양의 방향으로 전위를 주사함으로써 좋은 전압전류파를 얻을 수 있었다. 전극표면을 산용액에 담금으로써 재생시킬 수 있었다. 전극의 재현성은 석출/측정/재생의 순으로 5회 반복실험하여 조사한 결과 상대표준편차는 6.1${\%}$였다. 시차펄스 전압전류법으로 조사한 경우 2.0 ${times}$ 10$^{-7}$M에서 1.0 ${times}$ 10$^{-6}$ M의 농도 범위에 걸쳐 직선성이 성립했으며, 검출한계는 6.0 ${times}$ 10$^{-8}$ M이었다. Cu(II) 이온을 정량하는데 있어서 EDTA와 oxalate 이온을 제외한 다른 공존이온의 영향을 별로 받지 않았다.

Gibberellin(GA) 3-$\beta$ hydroxylation is very important for the shoot elogation in the higher plants, since only 3$\beta$-hydryoxylated GAs promote shoot elogation in several plants. Fluctuation of 3$\beta$-hydryoxylase activity was examined during seed maturation using two cultivars of , P. vulgaris, Kentucky Wonder (normal) and Masterpiece (dwarf). Very immature seeds of both cultivars contain high level of 3$\beta$-hydroxylase activity (per mg protein). Both cultivars showed maximum of enzyme activity (per seed) in the middle of their maturation process. Gibberellin 3$\beta$-hydroxylase catalyzing the hydroxylation of GA20 to GA1 was purified 313-fold from very early immature seeds of P. vulgaris. Crude soluble enzyme extracts were purified by 15% methanol precipitation, hydrophobic interaction chromatogrphy, DEAE ion exchange column chromatography and gel filtration HPLC. The 3$\beta$-hydroxylase activity was unstable and lost much of its activity duting the purification. The molecular weight of purified enzyme was extimated to be 42, 000 by gel filtration HPLC and SDS-PAGE. The enzyme exhibited maximum activity at pH 7.7. The Km values for [2.3-3H] GA20 and [2.3-3H]GA9 were 0.29 $\mu$M and 0.33 $\mu$M, respectively. The enzyme requires 2-oxoglutarate as a cosubstrate; the Km value for 2-oxoglutarate was 250 $\mu$M using 3H GA20 as a substrate. Fe2+ and ascorbate significantly activated the enzyme at all purification steps, while catalase and BSA activated the purified enzyme only. The enzyme was inhibited by divalent cations Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+. Effects of several GAs and GA anaogues on the putrified 3$\beta$-hydroxylase were examined using [3H]GA9 and GA20 as a substrates. Among them, GA5, GA9, GA15, GA20 and GA44 inhibited the enzyme activity. [13C, 3H] GA20 was converted by the partially purified enzyme preparation to [13C, 3H]GA1, GA5 and GA6, which were identified by GC-MS, GA9 was converted only GA4, GA15 and GA44 were converted to GA37 and GA38, respectively. GA5 was epoxidized to GA6 by the preparation. This suggests that 3$\beta$-hydroxylation of GA20 and epoxidation of GA5 are catalyzed by the same enzyme in P, vulgaris.

A thermostable $\beta$-glycosidase gene, tfi $\beta$-gly, was cloned from the genomic library of Thermus filiformis Wai33 A1. ifi $\beta$-gly consists of 1,296 bp nucleotide sequence and encodes a polypeptide of 431 amino acids. It shares a strong amino acid sequence similarity with the $\beta$-glycosidases from other Thermus spp. belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase family 1. In the present study, the enzyme was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) using the pET21b(+) vector system. The recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity by heat treatment and a $Ni^{2+}$-affinity chromatography. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) showed that the recombinant Tfi $\beta$-glycosidase was a monomeric form with molecular mass of 49 kDa. The temperature and pH range for optimal activity of the purified enzyme were 80- $90^{\circ}C$ and 5.0-6.0, respectively. Ninety-three percent of the enzyme activity was remained at $70^{\circ}C$ after 12 h, and its half-life at $80^{\circ}C$ was 6 h, indicating that Tfi $\beta$-glycosidase is highly thermostable. Based on its K_m$, or $K_{cat}K_m$, ratio, Tfi $\beta$-glycosidase appeared to have higher affinity for $\beta$-D-glucoside than for $\beta$-D-galactoside, however, $K_{cat} for \beta$-D-galactoside was much higher than that for $\beta$-D-glucoside. The activity for lactose hydrolysis was proportionally increased at $70^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0 without substrate inhibition until reaching 250 mM lactose concentration. The specific activity of Tfi TEX>$\beta$-glycosidase on 138 mM lactose at $70{^\circ}C$ and pH 7.0 was 134.9 U/mg. Consequently, this newly cloned enzyme appears to have a valuable advantage of conducting biotechnological processes at elevated temperature during milk pasteurization in the production of low-lactose milk.

본 연구에서는 다제내성을 보이는 인체 병원균의 하나인 S. aureus에서 유래된 FtsZ 단백질의 유전자를 클로닝하고 대장균에 형질전환하여 재조합 단백질을 만들고, in vitro 상에서 폴리머 형성 활성을 측정하였다. Bradford 방법을 이용하여 SA FtsZ단백질의 농도를 측정한 후, SA FtsZ단백질의 폴리머 형성 활성을 확인하기 위해 형광계를 이용하여 excitation 방향과 $90^{\circ}$의 방향에서 산란되는 빛의 양을 측정하는 방법을 사용하였을 때에 대조군에서는 빛이 산란되지 않았고, SA FtsZ 단백질에 GTP와 $Mg^{2+}$를 처리한 실험군에서만 빛이 산란되는 현상을 관찰하였다. 1분여의 시간이 지난 이후에는 다시 산란되는 빛이 줄어드는 것을 볼 수 있는데, 이것은 SA FtsZ 단백질의 아미노말단 도메인의 GTPase 활성에 의해서 GTP가 분해되어서 SA FtsZ 단백질의 폴리머가 단량체로 분해되었기 때문이라고 예측된다. 본 연구를 통하여 확립된 SA FtsZ 활성 측정 방법은 향후 SA FtsZ 단백질의 폴리머 형성을 저해하는 방식으로 S. aureus를 표적으로 하는 항생제 후보물질 도출을 위한 스크리닝 방법으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Dispersion, migration and enrichment of environmental toxic elements from the Samkwang Au-Ag mine area were investigated based upon major, minor and rare earth element geochemistry. The Samkwang mine area composed mainly of Precambrian granitic gneiss. The mine had been mined for gold and silver, but closed in 1996. According to the X-ray powder diffraction, mineral composition of stream sediments and soils were partly variable mineralogy, which are composed of quartz, orthoclase, plagioclase, amphibole, muscovite, biotite and chlorite, respectively. Major element variations of the host granitic gneiss, stream sediments and soils of mining and non-mining drainage, indicate that those compositions are decrese $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$, MgO, $TiO_2$, $P_2O_5$ and LOI with increasing $SiO_2$ respectively. Average compositional ranges (ppm) of minor and/or environmental toxic elements within those samples are revealed as As=<2-4500, Cd=<1-24, Cu=6-117, Sb=1-29, Pb=17-1377 and Zn=32-938, which are extremely high concentrations of sediments from the mining drainage (As=2006, Cd=l1, Cu=71, Pb=587 and Zn=481 ppm, respectively) than concentrations of the other samples and host granitic gneiss. Major elements (average enrichment index=6.53) in all samples are mostly enriched, excepting $SiO_2$, $Na_2O$ and $K_2O$, normalized by composition of host granitic gneiss. Rare earth element (average enrichment index=2.34) are enriched with the sediments from the mining drainage. Minor and/or environmental toxic elements within all samples on the basis of host rock were strongly enriched of all elements (especially As, Br, Cu, Pb and Zn), excepting Ba, Cr, Rb and Sr. Average enrichment index of trace elements in all samples is 15.55 (sediments of mining drainage=37.33). Potentially toxic elements (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) of the samples revealed that average enrichment index is 46.10 (sediments of mining drainage=80.20, sediments of nonmining drainage=5.35, sediments of confluent drainage=20.22, subsurface soils of mining drainage=7.97 and subsurface soils of non-mining drainage=4.15). Sediments and soils of highly concentrated toxic elements are contained some pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, galena and goethite.

낙동강 하구 새섬매자기 식생지역의 수리역학적 퇴적환경을 알아보기 위하여 명지와 을숙도 조간대에서 6개의 퇴적물 코어를 채취하여 퇴적물 입도와 원소분석 (주원소, 미량원소, 희토류 원소)을 수행하였다. 명지 조간대의 퇴적환경은 낙동강 하구둑 좌측 수문의 영향 때문에 퇴적물 상부 (~ 15 cm)에서 분급도가 불량하고 왜도 및 첨도는 양의 값을 보였다. 반면에 을숙도 조간대는 주 수문뿐만 아니라 좌측 수문의 방류 영향으로 정점 별로 서로 다른 퇴적상을 보였다. 퇴적환경의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 분급도, 왜도 및 첨도 등을 이용하여 Linear Discriminate Function (LDF) 분석을 진행하였으며, 그 결과 퇴적물 상부에서 주로 에너지가 강한 퇴적환경이 나타났다. 을숙도 조간대의 ES05 (식생지역)와 ES11 (비 식생지역) 정점의 원소분포는 크게 Al, Fe 및 Ca 주요원소들의 분포와 관련하는 광물구성의 영향을 받는다. 알루미노실리케이트(Aluminosilicate)를 포함하는 쇄설성 광물들은 퇴적물의 희토류 함량을 희석시키며, 특히 ES05 정점 퇴적물의 원소조성을 결정하는 주요 요인으로 작용하였다. 반면에 ES11 정점의 원소조성은 점토광물과 철수산화물, 그리고 희토류 함량이 높은 중광물에 의해 조절되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 새섬매자기 조간대 퇴적물의 원소조성은 광물 분별 과정의 영향을 받으며, 이는 담수-해수 혼합 지역의 퇴적환경을 반영한다.
