  • Lhcb genes encoding light-harvesting chlorophyll-a/b binding (LHC) proteins of photosystem (PS) II were comprehensively characterized using the expressed sequence tag (EST) databases in the green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The gene family was composed of eight Lhcb genes including four new genes, which were isolated and sequenced. The effects of light intensity on the levels of mRNAs accumulation of multiple Lhcb genes were studied under various conditions. The results indicate that Lhcb genes are coordinately regulated in response to light conditions, and repressed when the input light energy exceeded the requirement for $CO_2$ assimilation. The effects of high light on the expression of the Lhcb genes observed in the presence of an electron transport inhibitor, DCMU, and in mutants deficient in photosynthetic reaction centers suggest the presence of two alternative mechanisms for regulating the genes expression under high-light conditions.

  • The major electron transfer cofactors in photosystem II have been studied by pulsed EPR, pulsed electron electron double resonance (PELDOR) and laser excited spin polarized electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) methods, in non-oriented and oriented photosystem II membranes. Distances between radical pairs were determined trom the observed dipole interaction constants to be 27.3 A for P680-QA, 30 A, etc. with the error within 1 A. Angles between the distance vector and membrane normal was determined by orientation dependence of oriented membranes with the accuracy of 5˚ The results were compared with the recent structural data by X-ray analysis.

  • The photodynamics of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer reaction of 1-hydroxyanthraquinone (1-HAQ) and 1-deuterioanthraquinone was investigated in toluene with time-resolved emission and femtosecond transient transmittance techniques at room temperature. The temporal profiles of transient transmittance of 1-HAQ could be well described with multi-decaying time constants. The ultrafast time constant within ca. 260 fs reflects the dynamics of proton transfer. The decay component of 2 ps is assigned to an additional proton translocation process induced by the intramolecular vibrational relaxation, whereas the decay component of 18 ps is assigned to the vibrational cooling process, while the long component (200 ps) can be explained in terms of the relaxation from excited-state keto-tautomer to its ground state. Time-resolved anisotropy decay dynamics and isotope effects on the photodynamics reveals that the ESIPT from enol-tautomer to keto-one of 1-HAQ is barrierless reaction and coupled to a vibrational relaxation process.

  • The Grignard reaction of methyl pyropheophorbide-a (MPP-a) was performed to introduce lengthy alkyl chain for improving lipophilicity. After the introduction of alkyl chain to the both of carbonyls, peripheral aldehyde and cyclopentanone, the obtained diol 3 was subjected to dehydration to give monodehydrate product 4 selectively. The Qy band of prepared compounds were affected by the substituents on the Qy axis (N$\sub$21/-N$\sub$23/).

  • Bulk nanobubble is one of the nanoscopic gaseous state found in the solution. We measured transient absorption spectra of eosin Y in the excited triplet state ($^3EY^{2-*}$) to elucidate differences in the dissipation process of the bulk nanobubble of oxygen molecule at air pressure. The time dependence of the oxygen dissipation process was classified three time domains (P1, P2 and P3). The comparison of ordinary bubbling method gave different results at P3 in contrast to similar results at P1 and P2, indicating the existence of characteristic dissolving state in the case of nanobubble.

  • 암치료에 사용되고 있는 광역학 치료는 환자에게 광민감제를 투여하고 다이오드 레이저(630 nm)를 조사하여 생성되는 단일상태 산소와 자유 라디칼에 의해 암조직을 괴사시키는 치료방법이다. 현재 광역학 치료의 문제점은 부피가 큰 종양이나 고형암에서는 빛이 종양전체를 투과할 수 없으므로 광역학 치료의 효과가 떨어지는 것이다. 따라서 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 간질성 광역학 치료법을 개발하고자 한다. 생체조직내의 정확한 광선량 측정이 간질성광역학치료의 효과에 매우 중요한 영향을 주므로, 실험 연구에 사용된 계수는 실제 생체조직의 광학 계수이다. 생체조직 대부분은 가시광선영역에서 큰 산란계수를 가지며, 투과 깊이에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 가시영역에서의 인체조직의 투과깊이는 약 $15\~20mm$이었다. 몬테칼로 시뮬레이션(Monte Carlo simulation)을 이용하여 생체조직내의 광전파, 광선량, 에너지율, 투과깊이를 잘 측정할 수 있음을 알았다. 그리고 이 시뮬레이션 결과를 가지고 고형암에 간질성 광역학 치료를 하여 치료효과를 확인하였다.

  • 피부과에서는 여드름 피부관리 시 광민감물질인 5-aminolevulinic acid(ALA)를 도포한 후 광선역학요법(Photodynamic therapy, PDT)을 실시한다. 피부관리실에서는 의약품 사용은 금지되어 있다. 따라서 이 연구의 목적은 의약품인 ALA를 도포하지 않고 광선역학요법을 여드름 피부관리 프로그램에 도입하여 그 효과를 알아보았다. 연구 방법은 면포 및 경도 여드름을 가진 여대생 24명을 네 그룹(1군: 대조군, 2군: 420 nm 파장의 청색광 조사, 3군: 660 nm 의 적색광 조사, 4군: 청색광과 적색광을 조사)으로 나누어 2, 3, 4군을 6주간 주 1회 가시광선을 20분씩 조사한 후, 대조군과 비교하였다. 그 결과 가시광선이 조사된 그룹은 홍반, 유분량, 구진, 농포의 수가 감소하였고, 모공의 크기가 축소되었으며 수분량은 증가하였다. 피부관리실의 현재 여드름관리와 광선역학요법을 병행한다면 피부관리실의 여드름 프로그램에 긍정적인 효과를 줄 것이라 기대된다.
