5, 10, 15, 20-tetraphenyl(porphyrinato)manganase(III) chloride(Mn(TPP)Cl)를 감응성 물질로 사용하는 염화이온 선택성 전극의 감응 메카니즘을 동일한 막 조성을 갖는 optode의 가시광선 스펙트럼 변화를 관찰하여 연구하였다. 고분자막 내에서 망간포르피린의 리간드인 염화이온은 물분자와 치환되며, 시료 용액의 할로겐족 음이온들은 고분자막으로 들어와 망간포르피린에 치환된 물분자 리간드를 다시 치환함으로써, 그리고 살리실산과 같은 지용성 음이온들은 포르피린 주변의 염화이온들과 이온 교환을 함으로써 감응전위를 발생하는 것으로 보인다. 또한 각 음이온들에 대한 선택성을 결정하는 중요한 요소는 망간포르피린-음이온 리간드의 결합상수와 음이온의 수화엔탈피의 균형에 의하여 결정되는 것임을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, an approx. 2.5-kb gene fragment including the catalase gene from Rhodospirillum rubrum S1 was cloned and characterized. The determination of the complete nucleotide sequence revealed that the cloned DNA fragment was organized into three open reading frames, designated as ORF1, catalase, and ORF3 in that order. The catalase gene consisted of 1,455 nucleotides and 484 amino acids, including the initiation and stop codons, and was located 326 bp upstream in the opposite direction of ORF1. The catalase was overproduced in Escherichia coli UM255, a catalase-deficient mutant, and then purified for the biochemical characterization of the enzyme. The purified catalase had an estimated molecular mass of 189 kDa, consisting of four identical subunits of 61 kDa. The enzyme exhibited activity over a broad pH range from pH 5.0 to pH 11.0 and temperature range from $20^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$C. The catalase activity was inhibited by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, cyanide, azide, and hydroxylamine. The enzyme's $K_m$ value and $V_{max}$ of the catalase for $H_2O_2$ were 21.8 mM and 39,960 U/mg, respectively. Spectrophotometric analysis revealed that the ratio of $A_{406}$ to $A_{280}$ for the catalase was 0.97, indicating the presence of a ferric component. The absorption spectrum of catalase-4 exhibited a Soret band at 406 nm, which is typical of a heme-containing catalase. Treatment of the enzyme with dithionite did not alter the spectral shape and revealed no peroxidase activity. The combined results of the gene sequence and biochemical characterization proved that the catalase cloned from strain S1 in this study was a typical monofunctional catalase, which differed from the other types of catalases found in strain S1.
