L-Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (A-2-C), a four-membered cyclic imino acid has been identified in certain plants, and the microorganism Actinoplanes ferrugineus. The imino acid A-2-C has a physiological significance as an antgaonist of proline during peptide synthesis. The biosynthetic mechanism for the formation of A-2-C has not been studied in any detail. By using various amino acids such as methionine and S-adenosyl-L-methionine labeled with deuterium or carbon-14, the details of the biosynthetic pathway and a possible mechanism for the formation of L-A-2-C in .4. ferrugineus have been unravelled, Both in vivo and in vitro experimental results suggest the biosynthesis of L-A-2-C is mediated by a confactor containing a carbonyl group, probably pyridoxal Phosphate. S-Adenosyl-L-methionine, which seems to be the direct biosynthetic substrate, has undergone a f-displacement by an ${\alpha}$-amino group of the amino acid portion of the substrate S-adenosyl-L-methionine potentially via a vinylglycine intermediate. The overall stereochemical events at the ${\beta}$-carbon of the substrate have been shown to inversion of configuration. The overall stereochemical events at the -position of the sub- strate have also been shown to occur with inversion of configuration. The ${\beta}$, ${\gamma}$-elimination reaction of the substrate seems to follow a cisoidal-type mechanism and the addition portion of the reaction a transoidal-type mechanism . The assignment of the proton NMR of A-2-C has been deduced by apply- ing NOE difference experiments, Gd(III) line-broadening experiments and 2D-NOESY experiments of regio-and stereospecificially deuterated A-2-C's.

Effects of reaction time and temperature on the isomerization and dehydrobromination reactions of brominated butyl rubber were investigated. The structural composition of brominated butyl rubber was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy($^1H$-NMR), Density functional theory (DFT) was used to study on the isomerization and dehydrobromination mechanisms of model compounds. The geometries for model compounds of 3-bromo-5,5,7,7-tetramethyl-2(2',2',4',4'-tetramethyl)pentyl-1-octylene (3BrOE), 1-bromo-5,5,7,7-tetramethyl-2(2',2',4',4'-tetramethyl)pentyl-2-octylene (1Br2OE) and 5,5,7,7-tetramethyl-2(2',2', 4',4'-tetramethyl)pentyl-1,3-octadiene (CD) had been optimized by using density functional theory at B3LYP/3-21G and B3LYP/6-31G levels. The predicted energy of 3BrOE lies higher than that of 1Br2OE which suggests that 1Br2OE configuration is more stable than the 3BrOE configuration. Compared with the energy barrier, the pathway of dehydrobromination is less competitive than that of isomerization. This is qualitatively consistent with the experimental results.

Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is one of the most important bacterium used in bioleaching, and can utilize $Fe^{2+}$ or sulphide as energy source. Growth curves for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans have been tested, which show lag, logarithmic, stationary and aging phases as seen in other bacteria. The logarithmic phases were from 10 to 32 hours for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans cultivated with $Fe^{2+}$ and from 4 to 12 days for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans cultivated with elemental sulphur. Differences of protein patterns of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans growing on elemental sulphur and $Fe^{2+}$ separately were investigated after cultivation at $30^{\circ}C$ by the analysis of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization (MALDI)-Mass spectrometry and ESI-MS/MS. From the 7 identified protein spots, 11 spots were found more abundant when growing on elemental sulphur. By contrast 6 protein spots were found decreased at elemental cultivation condition. Among the proteins identified, cytochrome C have been previously identified as necessary elements of electron-transfering pathway for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans to oxidize $Fe^{2+}$; ATP synthase alpha chain and beta are expressed increased when Thiobacillus ferrooxidans cultivated with $Fe^{2+}$ as energy source. ATP synthase Beta chain is the catalytic subunit, and ATP synthase alpha chain is a regulatory subunit. The function of ATPase produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane.

Antiulcer effects of ginseng saponin, acidic polysaccharide and methanol extract of Panax ginseng in the patients and experimental animals were reported. Postulated action mechanisms of ginseng were histamine-Ht receptor blocking and increasing gastric blood flow In the present study, the effect of ginsenosides, the biologically active glycosides of ginseng, on gastric acid secretion was examined using gastric cells isolated from human and rabbit gastric mucosa. Ginseng saponin, ginsenoside $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, $Rg_1$ and $Rh_2$ were tested in unstimulated as well as stimulated gastric cells. Histamine ($10^4$M) and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine ($10^4$M) were used as secretagogues. To investigate the mechanism of ginsenosides on acid secretion, the levels of cAMP and cGMP were monitored in gastric cells. As a result, high concerltration(1mg/ml) of ginseng saponin showed 73-75% of stimulated acid secretion in control gastric cells. However, ginseng saponin had no effect on unstimulated acid secretion and the levels of cGMP and cAMP in gastric cells. Ginsenoside $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$ and $Rh_2$ significantly inhibited stimulated acid secretion. Gastric cGMP levels were increased by all ginsenosides tested while cAMP levels were increased by all ginsenosides in unstimulated state of gastric cells, but increased by ginsenosides ginsenoside $Rg_1$ and $Rh_2$in stimulated state of gastric cells. The results suggest that inhibition of ginseng saponin on gastric acid secretion represents a complex effect of individual ginsenosides, which produce a range of effect on acid secretion. The inhibition site of ginseng saponin on stimulated acid secretion is postulated as post cAMP levels in acid secretary pathway such as protein phosphorylation or proton pump. Nitric oxide may not be involved in the inhibitory effect of ginseng saponin on stimulated acid secretion.

The attractant (orange light) or repellent (white light) signal is transmitted from SRI (Sensory Rhodopsin I) via protein-protein interaction with its transducer Htrl (Halobacterial Transducer for Sensory Rhodopsin I) which in turn controls a cytoplasmic phospho-transfer pathway that modulates flagella motor switching in Halobacterium salinarum. Some mutations in both SRI and Htrl showed an unusual mutant phenotype called inverted signaling, in which the cell produces a repellent response to normally attractant light. Twelve mutations at the Glutamate 56 (E56) position in the second transmembrane helix of Htrl were introduced by site-specific random mutagenesis. Almost all E56 mutants showed orange-light inverted responses in pH and temperature-dependent manners except E56D and E56Y. Except for these two mutants, all mutants accelerated the $S_{373}$ decay compared to wild-type at $18^{\circ}C$. This supported that there is an interaction between SRI and the second transmembrane of Htrl. Also a structural model of Htrl based on the Tar crystal structure and the secondary structure prediction program proposed the E56 residue to be in the middle of the proton channel. The most important observation is that the E56 mutant provides the evidence that this residue is very sensitive for signal relay, which can be explained by the open and closed conformations of the channel (A and R conformations) in SRI, as was postulated by the unified conformational shuttling model for transport and signaling.

Intestinal absorption of ${\beta}-lactam$ antibiotics and angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitors has been shown to use the carrier-mediated transport system. In vitro experiments have established that the efficacy of uptake by enterocytes depends on an inwardly directed proton gradient. It was suggested that benazepril was mediated by tripeptide transport system and that amoxicillin was transported by dipeptide transport carrier. The aim of this study is to assess the influence of amoxicillin on the intestinal absorption of benazepril using in vitro diffusion chamber and in situ single pass perfusion technique in the rat in order to elucidate whether the above transport systems are competitive or not. We obtained the gastrointestinal pemeability coefficient of amoxicillin, benazepril and both of them using in vitro diffusion chamber. And also the gastrointestinal absorption clearance of amoxicillin, benazepril and both of them using in situ single-pass perfusion method at steady state were calculated. Amoxicillin and benazepril were analyzed by HPLC. The results by the use of diffusion chamber in vitro indicated that the apparent intestinal permeability coefficient of benazepril was significantly(p<0.01) decreased by amoxicillin(45.2%) and vice versa significantly(p<0.01) decreased(89.1%). The results by the in situ gastrointestinal single-pass perfusion method indicated that the intestinal absorption clearance of benazepril was significantly(p<0.05) decreased by amoxicillin (40.2%) and vice versa significantly(p<0.05) decreased(54.8%). These results might suggest that they share the same peptide carrier pathway for oral absorption.

수소이온 존재하에서 $cis-[Co(en)_2(NO_2)_2]^+$과 라세미-$[Co(Y)]^2-(Y=EDTA,\; PDTA,\; CyDTA)$간에 일어나는 전자전달반응속도를 조사하였다. 속도자료로부터 $cis-[Co(en)_2(NO_2)_2]^+$과 라세미-$[Co(Y)]^2$간에 일어나는 전자전달반응은 수소이온이 촉매로 작용하여 내부권으로 진행되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 광학활성인 △-cis-$[Co(en)_2(NO_2)_2]^+$과 라세미-$[Co(Y)]^2-(Y=EDTA,\; PDTA,\; CyDTA)$간의 입체선택적 전자전달반응에서는 △-[Co(EDTA)]-, △-[Co(PDTA)]- , △-[Co(CyDTA)]-가 각각 6.0, 2.9, 3.0% e.e.(e.e.=enantiomeric excess) 생성되었다. 이것은 두 착물이 접근하여 먼저 선택적 이온회합을 이루고 전자전달반응이 일어나는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 따라서 △-cis-$[Co(en)_2(NO_2)2_]^+$과 라세미-$[Co(Y)]^{2-}$간의 입체선택적 전자전달반응은 산촉매에 의한 내부적 반응과 입체선택적 이온회합에 따른 외부권 반응으로 진행된다고 추정할 수 있다.

Coenzyme Q10(CoQ10)은 피부를 포함한 모든 생체조직에 존재하는 널리 알려진 조효소이다. 전자전달에 관여하는 퀴논링은 세포에서 에너지를 생성하기 위한 매우 중요한 기능을 가지고 있다. CoQ10은 피부에서 항산화제로서 연구되어 왔으며, 최근 외용제로써 노화억제와 주름개선작용에 대해 보고된 바 있다. 이런 보고들은CoQ10이 항산화제로서 산화-환원작용을 통해 피부의 방어기능에 중요한 역할을 한다는 점을 시사하며, 일반적으로 산화-환원작용은 피부에서 흑화과정의 조절에도 많은 영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 연구자들은 CoQ10 이 피부의 색소조절기능이 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 인체 정상 색소세포에CoQ10을 0.05-0.5 mM 처리한 결과 0.5, 0.25mM에서 멜라닌의 생합성을 약 50% 저해하였으며 이는 알려진 미백제인 Kojic acid나 vitamin C와 유사한 수준이었다. 또한, CoQ10은 인체 정상 색소세포에서 자외선이나 세포내 cAMP 증가 유도물질에 의한 멜라닌 생성을 억제하였다. 그러나 tyrosinase inhibitor인 kojic acid와는 달리, in vitro tyrosine hydroxylase의 억제효과는 보이지 않았다. CoQ10을 자외선으로 tanning을 유도시킨 brown guinea pig에 4주간 도포하고 육안 및 chromameter를 이용하여 미백효과를 측정한 결과, vehicle처리군에 비해 미백효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 coenzyme Q10 은 in vitro및 in vivo에서 미백효과를 지닌 물질임을 확인할 수 있었다.
