Polyethylene glycols(PEGs)are hydrophilic molecules that have been used to characterize intestinal permeability via the paracellular pathway. Using a mixture of PEGs(400, 600 and 1000), containing oligomers in the molecular weight range 330 to 1122 D, the molecular weight permeability dependence in the jejunum of the rat small intestine was examined, employing an in situ recirculation perfusion technique. Individual oligomers were determined by HPLC with refractive detection. In the range studied, a distinct molecular weight cut-off was not apparent. Corrected for the length of jejunum used in the study, over the molecular weight range 330 to 1122D, the apparent permeability(Papp) of PEG ranged from 4.92$\pm$0.02$\times$10-5cm/sec(mean$\pm$SEM, n=5) to 0.28$\times$10-5cm/sec. Also, it was observed that the apparent permeability was inversely proportional to approximately MW2. The results in this study suggest that molecular weight is an important factor in determining the intestinal permeability.

The quantitative effects of molecular weight and concentrations of two phase-forming polymers-polyethylene glycol and crude dextran on the two phase extractive ethanol fermentation were investigated using a Box-Wilson central composite protocol. The regression model obtained was used in order to determine optimum compositions of aqueous two phase system. In the aqueous two phase extractive ethanol fermentation of Kluyueromyces fragilis CBS 1555 with Jerusalem artichoke juice, it was found from the regression model that the variables influenlcing on ethanol fermentation were PEG concentration, time, Dx concentration, and PEG molecular weight strongly in order. The interaction of PEG concentration and PEG molecular weight was also found, and the effect of PEG concentration decreased with increase in molecular weight of PEG. The ethanol concentration incresed with increase in molecular weight of PEG, and with decrease in concentration of PEG. In conolusion, maximum concentration of ethanol produced was obtained at the following compositions; PEG MW 20000, Dx concentration ranged from 4% to 5%, and PEG concentration ranged from 3% to 7%.

분자량이 다른 네 종류의 키토산으로 제조한 필름의 색깔, 수증기투과도, 수분용해도, 인장강도 및 연신율을 측정하여 키토산 필름의 특성에 미치는 키토산의 분자량의 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 일반적으로 키토산 필름의 총색차와 수분용해도는 키토산의 분자량이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 반면에 인장강도와 연신율은 키토산의 분자량이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 키토산 필름의 수증기투과도는 키토산의 분자량과 뚜렷한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다.

In preparing sodium alginates from sea tangle (Laminaria japonica) powder using the Mexican process, alkaline extraction, conversion to alginic acid and reversion to sodium alginates were used to increase purity. The effect of hot water treatment and dialysis on measuring the average molecular weight of sodium alginates were investigated. Intrinsic viscosity and average molecular weight of sodium alginates after dialysis were higher than those before dialysis. Average molecular weight of sodium alginates treated with hot water was higher than that without. Hot treatment has little effect on the ash content of sodium alginates. Ash content of sodium alginates before dialysis were $27-30\%$ those after dialysis were $10\%.$ After dialysis, Na content was highest $(89-91\%),$ K was $11-12\%,$ Ca was $1.9\%,$ and Mg was $0.05\%.$ Ash content of alginates had little effect on average molecular weight. SAV (slope of apparent viscosity) of alginates solution after dialysis showed higher values than before. SAV of the alginates with hot water treatment were higher than without treatment.

돼지고기에서 분리한 bacteriocin 생성능이 우수한 젖산균을 동정하기 위하여 이미 알려진 몇가지 젖산균을 참고균으로 하여 10% denaturing polyacrylamide gel에 전기영동으로 전개한 5S rRNA 와 tRNA 등 150개 이하의 핵산으로 구성된 저분자량 RNA(Low Molecular Weight RNA : LMW RNA) profiles에 나타난 15~25개의 밴드 양상이 균에 따라 차이점을 보여 동정에 효과적으로 이용할 수 있었다. 새로 분리한 젖산균은 참고균과는 다른 균종이었다. APT, TSB, MRS의 3종류 다른 배지에서 배양하여도 LMW RNA profiles에는 차이가 없었으며, 겔상의 밴드 전개거리를 3개의 표준 분자량 물질을 이용하여 만든 표준곡선을 사용하여 상대핵산단위(relative nucleotide units : RNU)로 나타낸 밴드의 양상을 도표화 하는 것이 profiles를 서로 비교 하는데 편리하였다.

Generally, printing inks are composed of pigment, vehicle and additive. Among others, the vehicle transfers the pigment to substrate and then binds it on the surface. So, rheological properties of the vehicle are an important factor which has influence on printability. Thus, in this study, rheology of the vehicle was investigated by using rotational rheometer according to molecular weight of resin. Also, emlusion rheology of water in oil type and its microstructure were examined with increasing the shear rate. Consequently, the following results were obtained: (1) By viscometric flow test, zero shear viscosity and shear thinning index of vehicle increased with increasing the molecular weight of resin. (2) By relaxation and creep test, relaxation time and retardation time of vehicle increased with increasing the molecular weight of resin. (3) By frequency sweep test, crossover point of vehicle increased with increasing the molecular weight of resin. (4) G' and G" of emlusions increased with increasing the molecular weight by amplitude sweep test. (5) The shape of water drop in emlusions was changed to the capillary tube.

An efficient fermentation strategy for the high level production of ultra-high-molecular weight poly(3-hdyroxybutyrate) (PHB) was developed. Although the cell and PHA concentrations obtained by flask cultures at different initial pH (6.0 or 6.9) were almost same level, the molecular mass of PHB produced were quite different along with the initial pH. When a recombinant Escherichia coli XL1-Blue harboring pJC2 containing the Alcaligenes latus PHB biosynthesis genes was cultivated in flask culture (pH 6.0), the PHB having a very high molecular weight of 22 MDa could be produced while only below 1 MDa at initial pH 6.9. The ultra-high-molecular weight PHB could be synthesized to high concentration of 89.8 g/L resulting in the PHB productivity of 2.07 g/L-h by simple fed-batch culture. In this study, we report that PHB having various molecular mass can be produced by employing metabolically engineered E. coli strains harboring the plasmids of different copy numbers containing the A. latus phbCAB genes.

Dissolved oxygen (DO) and shear stress have pronounced effects on hyaluronic acid (HA) production, yet various views persist about their effects on the molecular weight of HA. Accordingly, this study investigated the effects of DO and shear stress during HA fermentation. The results showed that both cell growth and HA synthesis were suppressed under anaerobic conditions, and the HA molecular mass was only $(1.22{\pm}0.02){\times}10^6 Da$. Under aerobic conditions, although the DO level produced no change in the biomass or HA yield, a high DO level favored the HA molecular mass, which reached a maximum value of $(2.19{\pm}0.05){\times}10^6 Da$ at 50% DO. Furthermore, a high shear stress delayed the rate of HA synthesis and decreased the HA molecular weight, yet had no clear effect on the HA yield. Therefore, a high DO concentration and mild shear environment would appear to be essential to enhance the HA molecular weight.

Polyethylenimine (PEI) has been used as cationic polymers for efficient gene transfer without the need for endosomolytic agents. Various kinds of PEIs with different molecular weight were tested in order to investigate the effects of the molecular weight of PEI on the transfection efficiency and cell cytotoxicity. The ${\beta}-galactosidase$ expression $(pCMV-{\beta}-gal)$ plasmid was used as a model DNA. Complex formation between PEI and pDNA was assessed by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis method. Particle size and zeta-potential of complexes were determined by electrophoretic light scattering spectrometer. In vitro transfection efficiency was assayed by measuring ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activity. Cell cytotoxicity was determined by MTT assay. Particle sizes of the complexes became smaller on increasing molecular weights of PEI and N/P ratios. Surface potential of complexes was increased as the molecular weight of PEI increased. Transfection efficiency of $pCMV-{\beta}-ga1$ on the HEK 293 cells was greatest with PEI 25 K system but having the lowest cell viability. PEI with high molecular weight showed higher transfection efficiency and cell viability than PEI with low molecular weight.
