A protease produced by Bacillus polyfermenticus SCD was purified and characterized as a new detergent material. The protease was purified from supernatant produced by B. polyfermenticus SCD, by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Sephadex A-50, and finally gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-50. The molecular mass of this enzyme was 44 kDa based on SDS-PAGE. The optimum temperature and pH were $50^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0. The ranges of its stability to the pH and temperature were 7.0 to 9.0 and under $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was highly stable in the presence of the surfactants like Triton X-100 (0.1%), showing a 2-fold increase in its proteolytic activity. However, the enzyme was slightly inhibited by the chelating agent EDTA (1 mM). The enzyme has a maximum activity at $50^{\circ}C$ and the activity can be increased by surfactants such as Triton X-100 and Tween 80.

Paclitaxel is an effective antineoplastic agent against ovarian, colon and breast tumors. But there have been many difficulties to formulate this drug due to the extremely low aqueous solubility. Paclitaxel is currently formulated in a vehicle composed of Cremophor EL and absolute ethanol mixture which is $5\~20$ fold diluted in normal saline or $5\%$ dextrose solution before I.V. injection. However, this formulation has many problems such as allergic reactions and drug precipitation on aqueous dilution. To overcome these problems, we prepared the micelle and microemulsion systems for parenteral administration of paclitaxel by using glycofurol, $Soluto^{(R)}lHS$ 15 and oleic acid. Phase diagram, pH-rate stability, particle size distributions and pharmacokinetics of the systems were studied. Micelles and microemulsions formulated as nano-particle delivery system were physically and chemically stable. Therefore, these formulations might be the promising alternative candidate for the parenteral delivery of paclitaxel.

Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) prepolymers were prepared by the condensation polymerization of 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD) and succinic atid (SCA) in the presence of titanium (VI) isoproxide(TPI) catalyst. The PBS prepolymers reacted with 1,4-BD or SCA to obtain hydroxyl or carboxylic acid group terminated PBS. High molecular weight linear or branched PBS was synthesized by a coupling reaction between hydroxyl and carboxylic acid group terminated PBS, or by a branching reaction between carboxylic acid group terminated PBS and glycerol as a branching agent. The weight average molecular weight of the prepared linear or branched PBS was in the range of 100,000-220,000. Both melting point and thermal stability of the high molecular weight linear and branched PBSs were somewhat higher than those of general PBS. From a tensile behavior by Instron test, modulus, tensile strength and elongation at break improved with increase in the molecular weight of the prepared PBS through the coupling or the branching reaction. In particular, the high molecular weight linear PBS had about 2.5 times higher value in modulus than the branched one.

The greatest purpose of chromate treatment is to improve anti-corrosion by stabilizing a metal surface. Because metal surface forms a compound by absorbing oxygen or water in the air by being generally unstable, it is necessary to improve anti-corrosion of the metal by forming the metal surface with a stable film. When considering the economical efficiency and requirements together because the film of the metal surface treated with chromate has good anti-corrosion and the stability also in the air by being compact and strong, Chromate treatment has been used most up to the electronics industry from the auto industry. However, these days, because hexavalent chromium is both a toxic agent to be able to cause cancers and deadly poisonous environmental pollutant, the strong legal controls on its use is being imposed all over the world. Because of this reason, a new anti-corrosion method is being required. Also, by users' various demands, the passivations that have recently been developed require various characteristics such as conductivity, chemical resistance, alkali cleaning resistance as well as anti-corrosion. We could confirm the results such as excellent anti-corrosion compared to chromate, conductivity, chemical resistance and detergent resistance as the result of analysis of various characteristics of the galvannealed sheet steels coated with Cr-Free solution developed in this research.

Isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI), poly(tetramethylene glycol)(PTMG), dimethylol propionic acid(DMPA), triethylamine(TEA), ethylenediamine(EDA), 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane(APS)을 출발물질로 하여 수분산 폴리우레탄(Waterborne polyurethane, WPU)이 합성되었다. 이 WPU에 0~8 wt%로 첨가량이 조절된 tetraethylorthosilicate(TEOS)를 첨가한 후 Sol-Gel 반응을 진행시켜 WPU/silica nanocomposite를 제조하였다. WPU/silica nanocomposite의 평균 입경은 TEOS의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 또한 제조된 nanocomposite의 열적 안정성은 순수한 WPU보다 우수하였다.

Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most devastating diseases in major Solanaceae crops. The pathogen is easily disseminated and survives for many years in plant farming system. Although chemicals are applied to control the disease, they are of limited efficacy and cause several problems. Therefore, the use of phage therapy has been suggested to control the disease as a biological agent. In this study, we discovered bacteriophages lysing diverse Ralstonia isolates from plant and soil samples obtained from the potato cultivated field in Jeju. Three times repeated pickings of plaques resulted in obtaining 173 single phages showing diverse spectrum of host-specificity. With the results, 12 core phages were selected and dendrogram was generated. Genetic diversity of the selected phages was also confirmed by AFLP (Amplified Fragment of Length Polymorphism) fingerprinting. The stability of the phages was investigated in various temperatures and various conditions of pH in vitro. The phages were stable at $16^{\circ}C-44^{\circ}C$ and pH 6-10. Morphological characterization of the phages revealed they were all classified into the Podoviridae, but had diverse head sizes. The results of this research will contribute to control the disease and further researches regarding genetic and molecular aspects will facilitate understanding phage and bacteria interaction.

Lunasin is a unique 43-amino acid peptide which has shown a chemopreventive in mammalian cells and in a skin cancer mouse model. In search for new sources of lunasin and the role of cereals in cancer prevention, we report here the properties of lunasin purified from millet. Stability of millet lunasin was measured by in vitro digestibility assay using pepsin and pancreatin. Inhibition of HAT (histone acetyltransferase) and nuclear localization in mammalian cells were used to measure lunasin bioactivity as the cancer chemopreventive agent. Lunasin present in millet crude protein was stable to pepsin and pancreatin in in vitro digestion and inhibited the activities of HATs. When added exogenously, lunasin purified from millet internalized in the nuclei of mouse fibroblast cells. On the base of this result, we conclude that lunasin in millet is bioactive and consumption of millet may play an important role on cancer prevention in millet-consuming populations.

To study the effect of stereoisomeric structures of curing agents on curing behaviors, thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy resins, DGEBA(diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A) epoxy resin and 3,3'- and 4,4'-DDS(diaminodiphenyl sulfone) curing agents were selected. The curing initiation temperature and activation energy of DGEBA/3,3'-DDS was lower than DGEBA/4,4'-DDS. DGEBA/3,3'-DDS has a faster curing rate and higher degree of cure than DGEBA/4,4'-DDS, suggesting that 3,3'-DDS has higher reactivity than 4,4'-DDS. Tensile strength and fracture toughness of DGEBA/3,3'-DDS was lower than those of DGEBA/4,4'-DDS, indicating that mechanical properties of the epoxy resin can be different only by the stereoisomeric difference in chemical structure of the curing agent.
