  • (R,S)- and (R)-2-Benzylcysteine (1) and (R,S)-2-phenethylcysteine (2) were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors for carboxypeptidase A (CPA) with the expectation that these compounds exhibit improved inhibitory activities over 2-benzyl-3-mercaptopropanoic acid (BMPA), a potent CPA competitive inhibitor, possibly having additional interactions of their amino group with the carboxylate of Glu-270 of the enzyme upon binding to CPA. Contrary to the expectation, however, the CPA inhibitory potencies of these compounds were found to be much reduced compared with that of BMPA, suggesting that the amino group in the inhibitors rather exerts steric hindrance in binding of these inhibitors to CPA.

  • The electronic structure, conformational preferences, and rotational barriers have been studied for transition metal indenyl allyl complexes by means of extended Huckel calculations. After geometrical optimization the exo conformation of allyl moiety is favored over the endo. The rotational barrier of indenyl ring in (Indenyl)Mo(CO)_2(Allyl)$ is computed to be 3.8 kcal/mol. Population analysis is applied to account for the conformational preferences and rotational barriers. A series of substituted allyl complexes has been also optimized. It shows steric hindrance plays a crucial role in setting the allyl orientation.

  • The polarizability and the transition state energy of a cephalosporin are assumed to be theoretical indices of the permeability through the outer membrane and of reactivity of ${\beta}$ -lactam ring with penicillin binding proteins, respectively, in Gram-negative bacteria. They are computed by AM1 method and used as variables of quantitative structure-activity relationship study. The results justify quadratic dependence of the activity on the variables. The intersection of difference volumes between $\beta-lactamase$ stable cephalosporins and unstable ones manifests that the steric hindrance of 7-side chain is responsible for the ${\beta}$ -lactamase stability.

  • Second-order rate constants ($k_N$) have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of benzyl 2-pyridyl carbonate $\mathbf{7}$ and $t$-butyl 2-pyridyl carbonate $\mathbf{8}$ with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in $H_2O$ at $25.0^{\circ}C$. Substrate $\mathbf{8}$ is less reactive than $\mathbf{7}$. Steric hindrance exerted by the bulky $t$-Bu group of $\mathbf{8}$ has been suggested to be responsible for the decreased reactivity. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plots for the reactions of $\mathbf{7}$ and $\mathbf{8}$ are linear with ${\beta}_{nuc}=0.49$ and 0.44, respectively, which is typical for reactions reported previously to proceed through a concerted mechanism. Aminolyses of $\mathbf{7}$ and $\mathbf{8}$ were expected to proceed through a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate $T^{\pm}$, which would be stabilized through an intramolecular H-bonding interaction. However, the kinetic results suggest that the reactions proceed through a concerted mechanism. The H-bonding interaction in $T^{\pm}$ has been suggested to accelerate the rate of leaving-group expulsion from $T^{\pm}$. Another factor that might accelerate expulsion of the leaving group is the "push" provided by the RO group in $T^{\pm}$ through resonance interactions. Thus, it has been concluded that the enhanced nucleofugality through the H-bonding interaction and the "push" provided by the RO group forces the reactions to proceed through a concerted mechanism.

  • Trypsin can be immobilized on silk fibroin fiber (SFF) by introducing several spacer arms, such as ethylene diamine (ED), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and silk sericin (SS). Direct immobilization on silk fiber (SFFGA) has low activity because of the steric hindrance between the trypsin and substrate. The introduction of spacer arms onto SFF-GA can enhance the activity of trypsin by reducing the steric hindrance. When ED is used as a spacer arm, the activity of trypsin has increased but its stability decreased due to the increased hydrophobicity of SFF. BSA and SS, as a spacer arm, have better results in both activity and stability. SFF-BSA shows some decrease in the specific activity due to improper immobilizatin. SFF-SS maintained 90% of its initial activity even after 12 hrs incubation at $50^{\circ}C$. In the case of repeated hydrolysis of silk sericin with immobilized trypsin, SFF-GA and SFF-ED lost 50% of their initial activity right after first run, whereas SFF-BSA and SFF-SS maintained 80% of their initial activities even after 5 runs. Higher operational stability is due to increased hydrophilicity of SFF by introducing hydrophilic spacer arms such as BSA and SS. The high content of serine in SS increases the hydrophilicity of SFF resulting the best results among other spacer arms.

  • 한정된 미세공간에서의 제한확산(hindered diffusion)은 멤브레인 기공(pore)에서 입자들의 운동에 의해 결정되는 여과 메카니즘을 매우 미세한 수준에서 이해하는데 중요한 현상이다. 구형(spherical) 콜로이드 입자에 비해 보다 복잡한 형태(conformation)인 고분자사슬 구조를 갖는 다가전해질(polyelectrolyte)의 제한확산 거동에는 다양한 인자들이 관련되어 있기 때문에, 이론 접근은 물론 실험적 접근도 한층 어려운 것이 사실이다. 본 연구에서는, 슬릿형 미세기공에 한정되어 있는 단일한 다가전해질(single polyelectrolyte)에 coarse-grained bead spring model과 먼거리(long-range) 정전상호작용(electrostatic interaction)인 Debye-Huckel potential을 적용하여 분자시뮬레이션 기법인 브라운 동력학 모사를 수행하였다. 기공과 다가전해질 사슬(Polyelectrolyte chain)의 주어진 크기에서, 용액의 전해질 이온농도가 감소함에 따른 사슬의 신장(extension)효과는 제한확산계수를 감소시켰고, 기공 벽면의 하전성은 제한확산계수를 더욱 감소시켰다. 이는, 다가전해질 사슬(polyelectrolyte chain)의 입체적 장애(steric hindrance)와 함께 정전반발력이 미세기공에서의 확산이동을 억제함을 의미한다.

  • Second-order rate constants ($k_N$) have been measured spectrophotometrically for reactions of 3,4-dinitrophenyl benzoates (5b) with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 ${\pm}$ 0.1 ${^{\circ}C}$. The kinetic data have been compared with the data reported previously for the corresponding reactions of 2,4- dinitrophenyl benzoates (5a) to investigate the effect of changing the nucleofuge from 2,4-dinitrophenoxide to 3,4-dinitrophenoxide on reactivity and mechanism. The kinetic results show that aminolyses of 5a and 5b proceed through the same mechanism, i.e., a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate ($T^{\pm}$) with a change in the rate-determining step (RDS). Substrate 5a is more reactive than 5b when breakdown of $T^{\pm}$ is the RDS but less reactive when formation of $T^{\pm}$ is the RDS. Dissection of kN values into the microscopic rate constants (e.g., $k_1$ and $k_2/k_{-1 }$ ratio) has revealed that 5a results in larger $k_2/k_{-1}$ ratios but smaller k1 values than 5b for all the amines studied. Since 2,4-dinitrophenoxide is less basic and a better nucleofuge than 3,4-dinitrophenoxide, the larger $k_2/k_{-1}$ ratios determined for the reactions of 5a than for those of 5b are as expected. The steric hindrance exerted by the ortho-nitro group on 5a contributes to the smaller k1 values found for the reactions of 5a than for those of 5b.

  • Second-order rate constants ($k_N$) have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of phenyl 2- pyridyl carbonate (6) with a series of cyclic secondary amines in MeCN at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot for the reaction of 6 is linear with ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.54, which is typical for reactions reported previously to proceed through a concerted mechanism. Substrate 6 is over $10^3$ times more reactive than 2-pyridyl benzoate (5), although the reactions of 6 and 5 proceed through the same mechanism. A combination of steric hindrance, inductive effect and resonance contribution is responsible for the kinetic results. The reactions of 6 and 5 proceed through a cyclic transition state (TS) in which H-bonding interactions increase the nucleofugality of the leaving group (i.e., 2-pyridiniumoxide). The enhanced nucleofugality forces the reactions of 6 and 5 to proceed through a concerted mechanism. In contrast, the corresponding reaction of 4-nitrophenyl 2-pyridyl carbonate (7) proceeds through a stepwise mechanism with quantitative liberation of 4-nitrophenoxide ion as the leaving group, indicating that replacement of the 4-nitrophenoxy group in 7 by the PhO group in 6 changes the reaction mechanism (i.e., from a stepwise mechanism to a concerted pathway) as well as the leaving group (i.e., from 4-nitrophenoxide to 2-pyridiniumoxide). The strong electron-withdrawing ability of the 4-nitrophenoxy group in 7 inhibits formation of a H-bonded cyclic TS. The presence or absence of a H-bonded cyclic TS governs the reaction mechanism (i.e., a concerted or stepwise mechanism) as well as the leaving group (i.e., 2-pyridiniumoxide or 4-nitrophenoxide).

  • o-, m- 및 p-크실렌계와 요오드사이에 형성되는 전하이동착물을 사염화탄소용액에서 자외선분광광도법을 사용하여 연구한 결과$ C_6H_4(CH_3)_2{\cdot}I_2 $형의 1:1 분자착물이 형성됨을 알았다. 이들 착물생성에 대한 흡수최대는 온도가 상승함에 따라 blue shift되므로 이를 고려하여 각 온도에서의 평형정수를 구했다. 이 값으로부터 이들 착물생성에 대한 $ {\Delta}$H, $ {\Delta}$G 및 $ {\Delta}$S의 열역학적 파라미터를 산출하였다. 이 결과와 전 연구결과를 종합하면 폴리메틸벤젠과 요오드와의 착물의 상대적 안정도가 다음 순서로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. Benzene < Toluene < o-Xylene < m-Xylene < p-Xylene 이 결과는 positive inductive effect에 의한 전자밀도증가와 steric hindrance effect에 의한 영향때문인 것으로 설명할 수 있다.
