  • Inspecting herbaria collections of Laurencia rigida highlighted frequent misidentifications between L. rigida and L. heteroclada f. decussata, two poorly studied taxa from Australia. Recent collections of DNA material, including from topotype material, allowed for re-examination of these two taxa using molecular techniques. Detailed morphological and molecular analyses based on two markers (rbcL and COI-5P) strongly supported these two taxa as being distinct from each other and requiring nomenclatural changes. Comprehensive morphological analyses highlighted features useful for accurate identifications. Interestingly, L. rigida was found to belong to the genus Palisada with evidence from both the morphology and molecular data. Therefore, this study proposed recognizing L. rigida as Palisada rigida comb. nov. Molecular data for L. heteroclada f. decussata on the other hand supported its separation from L. heteroclada, with too great a molecular distance to be considered a variety. Morphological characters that best separated P. rigida from L. decussata included seven characters; number of pericentral cells per vegetative axial segment, the presence of secondary pit connections, the presence of lenticular thickenings, tetrasporangia alignment, the presence of corps en cerise, holdfast morphology, and overall plant shape. Morphologically, L. heteroclada f. decussata was also separated from L. heteroclada, particularly by the following characteristics; ultimate branchlets morphologies, lower order branch lengths, primary axis and holdfast morphologies. Therefore, it was proposed that L. heteroclada f. decussata is recognized at a species level as L. decussata comb. et stat. nov.

  • 발사시 fairing jettison-separation의 과정에서 발사체에 탑재된 위성체가 우주환경에 노출이 되어 태양광, 지구복사, Albedo, free molecular heating 등의 여러 가지 열환경의 직접적인 영향을 받게 된다. 이 때, 위성체 중에서 발사체의 진행 방향으로 최외각에 위치한 payload box가 worst hot condition의 조건을 만족하며 가열되게 된다. Payload box를 하나의 질량으로 가정하고 적용되는 여러 가지 열환경을 고려하여 온도지배방정식을 정리하면 해석해가 존재하는 1차원 미분 방정식을 유도할 수 있다. 이 식으로부터 구한 해석해를 worst hot condition을 만족하는 payload box에 적용하여 발사시 가열에 의한 온도 상승 정도를 예측하고, 그 결과로부터 위성체의 열적 안정성을 비교적 간단한 방법으로 검증할 수 있다.

  • 61Cu is a promising PET radiometal having favorable nuclear decay characteristics with appropriate half-life of 3.3 h. Owing its promising capabilities in radiopharmaceutical chemistry and its chemical similarities with its isotopes 64Cu and 67Cu, in this work we have tried to optimize the production and separation conditions of 61Cu. 61Cu was produced via (p, x) reaction with natural nickel which was electroplated on the high purity silver coated copper backing target holder. The optimization of target electrodeposition, beam energy and current modulation, target dissolution and separation were optimized in this study. Preliminary studies show that 61Cu was successfully produced and separated which can be further extended for the production of 64Cu and 67Cu.

  • Cellular DNA in prokaryotes is organized in nucleic acid-protein self-assemblies referred to as the nucleoid. The physical forces responsible for its stability inside the poor solvent properties of the cytoplasm and their functional implications are not understood. Studies on the organisation and functioning of the cytosol of cells largely rely on experimental protocols performed in highly dilute solutions using biochemically purified molecules, which is not a reliable substitute for the situation existing in vivo. Our current research interest is focused on the characterization of biological and physical forces determining the compaction and phase separation of DNA in Escherichia coli cytoplasm. We have emphasized the effect of excluded volume in solutions with high macromolecular concentrations (macromolecular crowding) upon self-association patterns of reactions. The prokaryotic cytosol was simulated by addition of inert polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG) (average molecular weight 20000), as an agent which afterwards facilitates the self-association of macromolecules. Fluorescence microscopy was used for direct visualization of nucleoids in intact cells, after staining with DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride). Addition of the crowding agent PEG 20,000, in increasing concentrations generated progressively enhanced nucleoid compaction, the effect being stronger in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl and 5 mM MgCl$\_$2/. Under these conditions, the nucleoids were compacted to volumes of around 2 ㎛$\^$3/ or comparable sizes with that of living cells.

  • Protein phosphorylation is one of most important post-translational modifications (PTMs) and plays an important role in regulation of protein function. Here we develop a method for a global identification of phosphopeptides and phosphorylation sites using nano-LC MS/MS. We compared two separation methods, C4 and strong cation ion exchange (SCX). Before phosphopeptides enrichment with $TiO_2$, total proteins from Rat 1 cells have been separated using C4 column or tryptic peptides of proteins from the cells have been separated using SCX column. Finally, we have detected 52 phosphorylation sites on 41 proteins from SCX method and 375 phosphorylation sites on 252 proteins from C4 method, and determined the function and localization of identified phosphoproteins using DAVID software. In particular, we showed new phosphorylation sites from membrane proteins related to various cell signaling mechanisms. This method may contribute to study global signal networks induced by various signals including ligands and drugs.

  • Vacancy defects in graphene can be created by electron or ion irradiation and those induce ripples which can change the electronic properties of graphene. Recently, the formation of defect structures such as vacancy defects and non-hexagonal rings has been reported in the high resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) of reduced graphene oxide [1]. In those HR-TEM images, it is noticed that the dislocations with pentagon-heptagon (5-7) pairs are formed and diffuses. Interestingly, it is also observed that two 5-7 pairs are separated and diffuse far away from each other. The separation of 5-7 pairs has been known to be due to their self-diffusion. However, from our tight-binding molecular dynamics simulation, it is found that the separation of 5-7 pairs is due to the diffusion of single vacancy defects and coalescence with 5-7 pairs. The diffusion and coalescence of single vacancy defects is too fast to be observed even in HR-TEM. We also implemented Van der Waals interaction in our tight-binding carbon model to describe correctly bi-layer and multi-layer graphene. The compressibility of graphite along c-axis in our tight-binding calculation is found to be in excellent agreement with experiment. We also discuss the difference between single layer and bi-layer graphene about vacancy diffusion and reconstruction.

  • Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes were prepared by pyrolysis of polyimides having carboxylic acid groups and applied to the hydrogen separation. The polymeric membranes having carboxylic acid groups showed different steric properties as compared with polymeric membranes having other side groups ($-CH_3$ and $-CF_3$) because of the hydrogen bond between the carboxylic acid groups. However, the microporous CMS membranes were significantly affected by the decomposable side groups evidenced from the wide angle X-rat diffraction, nitrogen adsorption isotherms, and single gas permeation measurement. Furthermore, the gas separation properties of the CMS membranes were essentially affected by the pyrolysis temperature. As a result, the CMS membranes Prepared by Pyrolysis of polyimide containing carboxylic acid froups at $700^{\circ}C$ showed the $H_2$ permeability of 3,809 Baller [$1{\times}10^{-10}$ H $\textrm{cm}^$(STP)cm/$\textrm{cm}^2$.s.cmHg], $H_2$/$N_2$, selectivity of 46 and $H_2$/$CH_4$ selectivity of 130 while the CMS membranes derived from polyimide showed the H$_2$ permeability of 3,272 Barrer, $H_2$/$N_2$ selectivity of 136 and $H_2$/$CH_4$ selectivity of 177.

  • 본 연구는 열장 흐름 분획법을 이용하여 에틸렌-아세트산 비닐 혼성중합체들의 머무름에 미치는 인자들을 조사함으로써 혼성중합체의 물리화학적인 성질 중 열확산계수의 특성과 효율적인 분리에 대해 고찰하였다. 시료로 선택한 8종의 혼성중합체들의 분자량 범위는 110,000 ~ 285,000이고 아세트산 비닐의 함량은 25% ~ 70%인 것을 사용하였으며, 이동상으로는 점도와 열전도도 값이 서로 다른 THF, 톨루엔 및 클로로벤젠을 선택하였다. 혼성중합체의 머무름은 시료의 분자량, 조성 및 이동상의 종류에 따라 변화하였는데 시료의 분자량과 아세트산 비닐의 함량이 증가할수록 머무름이 증가하였다. 실험으로부터 측정된 열확산계수는 1.36∼5.97 $cm^2/(s.K)$로서 시료의 조성 및 이동상의 종류에 따라 변화하였다. 즉 열확산계수는 아세트산 비닐의 조성이 높아짐에 따라 증가하였으며, 조성과 열확산계수의 도시에서 조성이 무게백분율로 표시될 때 1.36∼5.97 $cm^2/(s.K)$로서 시료의 조성 및 이동상의 종류에 따라 변화하였다. 즉 열확산계수는 아세트산비닐의 조성이 높아짐에 따라 증가하였으며, 조성과 열확산계수의 도시에서 조성이 무게백분율로 표시될 때 상관계수가 큰 $(r^2(\geq)0.928)$ 직선성을 나타내었다. 또한 혼성중합체의 조성에 대한 열확산계수의 변화율은 이동상이 THF인 경우에 가장 컸으모로, 조성이 서로 다른 혼성중합체의 분리에 적합한 이동상은 THF라는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 결과로부터 열장 흐름 분획법이 중합체의 크기가 유사하고 조성이 서로 다른 혼성중합체의 분리에 이용될 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

  • Recently produced information on post-translational modifications makes it possible to interpret their biological regulation with new insights. Various protein modifications finely tune the cellular functions of each protein. Understanding the relationship between post-translational modifications and functional changes ("post-translatomics") is another enormous project, not unlike the human genome project. Proteomics, combined with separation technology and mass spectrometry, makes it possible to dissect and characterize the individual parts of post-translational modifications and provide a systemic analysis. Systemic analysis of post-translational modifications in various signaling pathways has been applied to illustrate the kinetics of modifications. Availability will advance new technologies that improve sensitivity and peptide coverage. The progress of "post-translatomics", novel analytical technologies that are rapidly emerging, offer a great potential for determining the details of the modification sites.
