  • The age-46.5 gene of Escherichia coli is induced by nitrate ion and regulated by Fnr, NarL, and NarP during anaerobic growth. aeg-46.5::lacZ fusion gene shows its maximum expression in narL host after two hours of aerobic to anaerobic switch in M9-Glc-nitrate medium. Fnr and NarP act as positive regulators, and NarL acts as a negative regulator. The control region of the aeg-46.5 was identified and the binding sites of regulator proteins have been predicted (Reznikoff and Choe (1993)). It has two symmetry regions. One is located at -52~-37 bp from the anaerobic mRNA 5'-end, which is the binding site of NarL and NarP. The other is located at +37~+56 bp from the 5'-end of mRNA. In this study, the downstream symmetry region from the mRNA 5'-end was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. The destruction of the symmetry region increases the expression level of aeg-46.5. We propose that the symmetry region interferes with the expression of aeg-46.5 possibly by forming a stem-and-loop structure.

  • M/sub 1-x/Na/sub 2x/Al₂(BO₃)₂O (M = Ca and Sr) 고용체계는 치환형과 틈새형 고용체를 동시에 갖는다. 이상의 고용체계 물질에 첨가된 발광원자의 에너지 전이는 발광원자, Eu 주위의 대칭성에 깊은 관계가 있다 Eu/sup 3+/ 이온의 경우, Eu/sup 3+/ 이온의 주변 대청성에 따라서 매우 밝고 효율적인 발광성 불순물이 될 수 있기 때문에 구조와 연계한 연구가 가능하다. Eu/sup 3+/: Ca/sub 1-x/Na/sub 2x/Al₂(BO₃)₂O 고용체계의 Na원자 양이 증가함에 따라 Eu3+ 이온의 대칭성이 낮아진다. CaAl₂(BO₃)₂O 화합물은 Ca 원자 중심의 팔면체 구조를 갖기 때문에, 조성비 x의 증가와 함께, 화합물의 낮은 대청성에 의해서 Eu/sup 3+/:Ca/sub 1-x/Na/sub 2x/Al₂(BO₃)₂O 고용체계의 /sup 5/D/sub 0/→/sup 7/F₁(590 nm) 전이의 상대적인 세기가 감소한다. 그러한 또 다른 예는 비대칭성 물질인 Eu/sup 3+/:SrAl₂(BO₃)₂O 화합물에서도 찾아 볼 수 있었다.

  • To elucidate the role of vir-box in the expression of the virE gene, the vir-box was modified by site-directed mutagenesis and tested for ${\beta}$-galactosidase activities. A, C, T T, A, C substitutions at -62, -63, and -65 positions, destroying the 5'-region of the vir-box and A T at position -55, destroying the 3'-region of the vir-box respectively, showed only 17% promoter activity. When the vir-box was modified to contain perfect dyad symmetry structure (DSR) by the substitutions T, G A, T at -60 an d-61 positions, ${\beta}$-glactosidase activity increased 302%. These results indicate that the 5' and 3'-region of vir-box as well as the imperfect DSR of the vir-box itself may play a very important role in the regulation of virE gene expression.

  • Some perovskites $A($Cu_{1}3}Nb_{2}3}$)O_3(A=$Sr^{2+}$$, $Ba^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$) and their series of mixed perovskites have been prepared by solid state reaction. Single perovskite phase was obtained in Sr or Ba rich samples, but pyrochlore phase was found in Pb rich samples. The stability of perovskite phase is dependent on the ionicity of bonding as well as the tolerance factor. All the obtained perovskites have tetragonal symmetry distorted by Jahn-Teller effect of $Cu^{2+}$. In the case of $Sr(Cu_{1}3}Nb_{2}3})O_3$, some superlattice lines caused by threefold enlarging of fundamental unit cell were observed. And, the symmetry of B site octahedron and the bonding character of B-O bond have been studied by IR, ESR and diffuse reflection spectroscopy. It appeared that the symmetry and the bonding character are influenced by such factors as the size and the basicity of A cation.

  • The aeg-46.5 operon of Escherichia coli is induced by nitrate and anaerobic conditions. Positive regulators Fnr and NarP, and a negative regulator NarL control the expression of the aeg-46.5. It has two symmetry regions [6], one of which is located between +37 and +56 bp from the 5'end of the anaerobic transcription initiation site. In this study, mutagenized symmetry regions were transferred from plasmid to chromosome by homologous recombination to evaluate the mutation as a single copy in the fnr, narL, narP, and narL-narP double mutant background. The expressions of the aeg-46.5 operon with these mutations indicated that the control was not through the possible stem-loop structure. Whether there is a protein that mediates this control remains to be seen. The results from the narL-narP double mutant indicated that the anaerobic Fill induction was independent of NarL repression.

  • Phase shift spectroscopy is applied to Eu(Ⅲ) luminescence from $Eu^{3+}$-exchanged Y zeolite. The phase shift and intensity modulation of luminescence following intensity-modulated excitation are measured as a function of modulation frequency and they are fitted into a double exponential decay. The fast decay component, compared with the slow one, has narrower spectral bandwidth and is emitted from the $Eu^{3+}$ that has more polar and definite environment with higher symmetry and that interacts more easily with hydrated water molecules. The fast decay component is attributed to $Eu^{3+}$ at site Ⅱ' while the slow one to $Eu^{3+}$ at sites Ⅰ' and Ⅰ.

  • Czochralski방법을 사용하여 정비조성(stoichiometric)으로 성장시킨 강유전체 $LiTaO_3$, 단결정을 $1000^{\circ}C$$1100^{\circ}C$에서 각각 열처리하였다. 열처리한 시료와 열처리하지 않은 정비조성 $LiTaO_3$ 단결정에 대하여 전자 상자성 공명(EPR : electron paramagnetic resonance) 실험을 하였다. X-band(9.21 GHz) 전자 상자성 공명 스펙트로미터를 사용하여 얻은 $Fe^{3+}$ 상자성 불순물 이온의 공명 흡수선을 분석한 결과 정비조성 $LiTaO_3$ 단결정내의 $Fe^{3+}$ 상자성 불순물 이온의 위치(site location)와 국소 대칭성(local site symmetry)은 열처리 후에도 변화가 없는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 $1000^{\circ}C$$1100^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 한 단결정의 경우에는 $v$ 이온이 $Fe^{2+}$ 이온으로 원자가 상태가 바뀌는 것을 화인 하였다. 또한 유효 스핀 하밀토니안을 이용하여 EPR 상수를 계산하였다.

  • We uniformly coated Eu(III)- and Tb(III)-doped yttrium oxide onto the surface of $SiO_2$ spheres and then characterized them by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction crystallography and UV-Visible absorption. 2D and 3D photoluminescence image map profiles were reported for the core-shell type structure. Red emission peaks of Eu(III) were observed between 580 to 730 nm and assigned to $^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_J$ (J = 0 - 4) transitions. The green emission peaks of Tb(III) between 450 and 650 nm were attributed to the $^5D_4{\rightarrow}^7F_J$ (J = 6, 5, 4, 3) transitions. For annealed samples, Eu(III) ions were embedded at a $C_2$ symmetry site in $Y_2O_3$, which was accompanied by an increase in luminescence intensity and redness, while Tb(III) was changed to Tb(IV), which resulted in no green emission.
