기능성화장품 소재로 사용하기 위한 후코이단의 특성 및 후코이단 분자량의 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 후코이단은 미역 포자엽에서 추출하였고 접촉글로우방전 전기분해(CGDE)방법에 의해 후코이단 분자량(35~160 kDa)을 조절하였다. 후코이단의 tyrosinase inhibition, 보습력, elastase 활성저해 효과와 항산화력(DPPH assay, radical scavenging)을 측정하여 화장품으로서 가능성을 확인하였다. 후코이단의 보습력은 최고의 보습제 중의 하나인 히아루론산의 보습력보다 높았고, 분자량이 감소함에 따라 보습력이 약간 증가하였다. 주름개선 효과실험인 elastase 활성저해 효과 실험결과 표준 비교물질인 adenosine 보다 높은 elastase 활성저해 효과를 보였다. 최고의 tyrosinase 저해효과, elastase 활성저해 효과, 항산화력(DPPH assay, radical scavenging)을 갖는 후코이단의 분자량은 100 kDa이었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the synthesis method, melamine content, and GPC parameters (such as flow rate, column-detector temperature, and sample injection temperature) on the molecular weight of melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) resins. Two different synthesis methods were employed. In the first method, MUF-A resins were synthesized by simultaneously reacting urea, formaldehyde, and melamine (5%, 10%, and 20%) using the reaction of alkaline-acid-alkaline steps under controlled temperature and viscosity. In the second method, MUF-B resins were synthesized by first reacting melamine at the same levels with formaldehyde and then by adding urea. The highest weight average molecular weight (Mw) of MUF-A resins was found at 10% melamine content when the flow rate was 0.3 and 0.8 ml/min; Mw decreased slightly at 20% melamine content. The results showed that Mw increased with an increase in the melamine content when the flow rate was 0.5 and 1.0 ml/min. In addition, Mw was the highest when the flow rate, column-detector temperature, and injection temperature were 0.3 ml/min, 50℃, and 25℃, respectively. On the contrary, MUF-B resins had greater Mw and number average molecular weight (Mn) than MUF-A resins. Overall, Mw and Mn increased as the melamine content increased. The optimal GPC parameter for MUF resins was determined as follows: a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min, a column-detector temperature of 50℃, and a sample injection temperature of 50℃.

배양한 계배 근원세포의 융합기작을 밝혀보기 위해서 분화과정에 있는 근세포를 lactoperoxidase를 촉매로 써서 막표면단백질을 iodination하여 본 결과, 융합의 과정에서 막표면단백질의 정성적 및 정량적 변화를 볼 수 있었다. 융합전의 세포에서 12개의 주요단백질을 검출할 수 있었는데, 융합시의 세포에서는 165K와 93K의 단백질이 새롭게 나타났으며 동시에 245K 단백질의 감소와 저분자 단백질의 증가를 볼 수 있었다. 이 고분자 단백질의 감소는 세포주기와 관계가 있는 것으로 생각되고 있는 세포내 cAMP 수준은 융합에 앞서서 현저한 일시적인 증가를 보였는데, 이와같은 결과는 cAMP의 증가가 세포의 융합의 유발과 관계가 있음을 보여 주는 것이었으며, 분화하는 근원세포에서는 고도의 동조성이 보였다. 아울러, 근세포의 융합과정에서 적어도 4 가지의 iodination된 저분자 단백질을 배양액에서 발견할 수 있었는데, 이들은 막단백질의 가수분해산물로 생각되었고, 역시 세포의 융합과정과 유관할 것으로 추정되었다. 세포막 표면단백질의 변화, 분화과정 중에 배양액 속으로 방출되는 단백질, 융합과 유관한 cAMP의 증가 및 융합과 관련되는 외적 요인의 가능성에 관해서 논의하였다.

The drag reduction is the phenomenon that occurs only when the shear stress from the wall of pipe is beyond the critical point. The drag reduction increase as the molecular weight, concentration of the polymer and Reynolds number increase, but it is limited by Virk's maximum drag reduction asymptote. Because of the strong shear force for the polymer on the turbulent flow, the molecular weight and the drag reduction do not decrease. Such mechanical degradation of the polymer occurs in all polymer solvent systems. This paper is to identify and develop high performance polymer additives for fluid transportations with the benefits of turbulent drag reduction. In addition, drag reduction in vertical flow by measuring the pressure drop and local void fraction on vertical-up flow of close system is evaluated.

A novel bacterium isolated from Cheonggukjang was identified as a glutamate-dependent Bacillus subtilis HA with 98.3% similarity to Bacillus subtilis Z99104. Optimization of poly-$\gamma$-glutamic acid ($\gamma$-PGA) production by modulating fermentation factors including carbon sources, nitrogen sources, inorganic salts and fermentation time was investigated. Optimum culture broth for $\gamma$-PGA production consisted of 3% glutamate, 3% glucose and various salts, resulting in the PGA production of 22.5 g/L by shaking culture for 72 hr at $37^{\circ}C$. Average molecular weight of $\gamma$-PGA was determined to be 1,220 kDa through MALLS analysis. The $\gamma$-PGA solution showed a typical pseudoplastic flow behavior, and a great decrease in consistency below pH 6.0 regardless of the same molecular weight of $\gamma$-PGA. The molecular weights of isolated $\gamma$-PGA were drastically decreased by heat treatment in various acidic conditions, resulting in different hydrolysis of $\gamma$-PGA. The consistency of $\gamma$-PGA solution was greatly decreased with increase heating time in acidic conditions.

소수성실리카를 안정제로 하는 현탁중합반응법을 이용하여 합성한 스티렌(St)/부틸메타크릴레이트(BMA) 공중합체 (co-PSB) 입자의 전단점도를 모세관 레오미터 (capillary rheometer)를 이용하여 $170^{\circ}C$에서 측정하였다. co-PSB 입자의 전단점도는 중량평균분자량이 74,800 g/mol 이하인 경우 낮은 전단속도에서는 뉴톤거동을 보였다. 중량평균분자량이 136,800 g/mol을 초과하면서 전단점도는 전단속도의 전 영역에 걸쳐 감소하였고 전단속도에 대한 기울기의 절대값은 분자량의 증가와 함께 증가하였다. St/BMA의 구성비가 7/3, 5/5 및 3/7의 co-PSB 입자는 유사한 분자량을 나타내었지만 BMA의 구성비가 증가하면서 유리전이온도와 전단점도는 감소하였다. St/BMA의 구성비가 1/9 인 co-PSB의 경우 유리전이온도는 더욱 감소하였으나 초기 전단점도는 크게 증가하였다. 카본블랙을 함유하는 co-PSB 복합체 입자의 전단점도는 카본블랙의 증가에 따라 증가하였으나, 카본블랙의 농도에 따른 전단점도의 변화는 분자량 및/혹은 구성비의 변화 효과에 비교하여 미약하였다.

Well-defined poly(N-vinylcarbazole), poly(NVC), was synthesized by macromolecular design via interchange of the xanthate (MADIX)/reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization in the presence of a suitable xanthate-type chain transfer agent (CTA). Good control of the polymerization was confirmed by the linear first-order kinetic plot, the molecular weight controlled by the monomer/CTA molar ratio, linear increase in the molecular weight with the conversion, and the ability to extend the chains by the second addition of the monomer. Star polymers having various architectures were also synthesized using this technique.

Low molecular weight silk fibroin (LMSF), which was prepared by hydrolysis of silk fibroin using high-temperature and high-pressure method, was found to inhibit the oxidation of L-3,4,-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) catalyzed by mushroom tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1). LMSF contained mostly free amino acids such as L-glycine, L-alanine, and L-serine and oligopeptides, mainly glycine-alanine dimer. As a result of analyzing the inhibition kinetics from Lineweaver-Burk plots, L-glycine and glycine-alanine dimer showed noncompetitive behavior while uncompetitive behavior was observed in L-alanine, and L-serine. When weight percent concentration of ${ID_50}$ was compared, L-glycine was most effective on the inhibition and LMSF was also good enough for the inhibition effect of tyrosinase activity. LMSF showed a mixed-type inhibition and the inhibitory mechanism of LMSF might be caused by free amino acids and oligopeptides. As a result of spectroscopic observation with time, initial rate of increase of DOPAchrome decreased remarkably and the time to reach maximum absorbance increased as an increase of the concentration of L-glycine, meaning that L-glycine made itself mainly responsible for the formation of chelate with ${Cu^2+}$ in tyrosinase. However, in case of L-alanine, L-serine, and especially glycine-alanine dimmer, the production of DOPAchrome after an arrival at maximum absorbance decreased, indicating the production of adducts through the reaction with DOPAquinone.

A blue laccase was purified from a white rot fungus of Trametes trogii, which was a monomeric protein of 64 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme acted optimally at a pH of 2.2 to 4.5 and a temperature of 70℃ and showed high thermal stability, with a half-life of 1.6 h at 60℃. A broad range of substrates, including the non-phenolic azo dye methyl red, was oxidized by the laccase, and the laccase exhibited high affinity towards ABTS and syringaldazine. Moreover, the laccase was fairly metal-tolerant. A high-molecular-weight kraft lignin was effectively polymerized by the laccase, with a maximum of 6.4-fold increase in weight-average molecular weight, as demonstrated by gel permeation chromatography. Notable structural changes in the polymerized lignin were detected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. This revealed an increase in condensed structures as well as carbonyl and aliphatic hydroxyl groups. Simultaneously, phenolic hydroxyl and methoxy groups decreased. These results suggested the potential use of the laccase in lignin modification.
