S. coelicolor A3(2) cells were treated with various redox-cycling agents on nutrient agar plates and examined for their effect on the growth and differentiation. When treated with plumbagin, severe effect on cell viability was observed at concentrations above 250 $\mu$M. However, the surviving colonies differentiated normally. When treated with 100 $\mu$M paraquat, growth rate was decreased and morphological differentiation was inhibited, while the survival rate was maintained at about 100% even at 5 mM paraquat. Menadione or lawsone did not cause any visible changes at concentrations up to 1 mM. The effect of paraquat was also observed when it was added to nutrient agar plate before spore inoculation. Paraquat had also observed when it was added to nutrient agar plate before spore inoculation. Paraquat had no effect on colonies growing on R2YE agar plates. Among the components of R2YE medium selectively added to nutrient agar medium, CaCl$_2$ was found to have some protective function from the inhibitory effect of paraquat. As a first step to study the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of paraquat on differentiation, resistant mutants which sporulate well in the presence of paraquat were screened following UV mutagenesis. Three paraquat-resistant mutants were isolated with a frequency of 3 $\times$10${-5}$. Their mutation sites were determined by genetic crossings. All three mutations were mapped to a single locus near arg4 at about 1 o'clock on the genetic map of S. coelicolor A3(2).

현재 디스플레이 시장은 LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), PDP (Plasma Display Panel) 등과 같이 평판 디스플레이가 주류를 이루고 있으며 현재에는 기존의 디스플레이와는 달리 잘 휘어지고 높은 투과성을 가지는 플렉시블 디스플레이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 하지만 이러한 플렉시블 디스플레이에 사용되는 플라스틱 기판의 경우 용제에 대한 화학적 저항성 및 기계적인 안정성이 취약한 점과 대기중의 수분이나 산소가 플라스틱 기판을 통하여 소자내로 침투하게 되어 금속전극을 산화시키거나 기포 또는 흑점 등과 같은 비 발광 영역이 확산되어 소자의 수명을 단축시키는 치명적인 단점을 가진다. 이에 본 실험에서는 고밀도 플라즈마 형성이 가능하고 저온공정이 가능한 FTS (Facing Target Sputtering) 장비를 이용하여 Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) 기판위에 낮은 수분 투과율 또는 산소 투과율을 갖는 양질의 무기 산화막을 적층하기 위해 저 투습도 및 기계적인 경도 향상을 위한 비 반응성 박막으로 $Al_20_3$층을 Ar분위기에서 증착하였고 그 위에 박막의 stress 감소, 유연성 향상을 위한 반응성 박막으로 Al을 Ar과 $O_2$를 비율별로 증착하여 비교 실험하였다. 이와 같이 제작된 무기산화막들을 Uv- spectrophotometer를 이용하여 광학적 특성을 조사한 결과 가시광 영역에서 모두 80% 이상의 높은 투과율을 나타내었으며, 그 외 XRD (X-ray Diffraction)를 사용하여 결정성을 확인, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), AFM (Atomic Force Microscope)을 이용하여 박막의 구조와 표면향상 및 표면조도를 측정한 결과 모든 박막에서 밀집도가 좋으며 거칠기가 작은 것으로 확인되었다. 마지막으로 수분 투과율(WVTR)을 알아보기 위해 Mocon (Permatran W3/31)장비를 이용하여 측정한 결과 $1.0{\sim}3.0{\times}10^{-3}g/m{\cdot}day$의 낮은 수분 투과율을 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 측정 결과로 볼 때 향후 FTS 장비를 이용하여 양질의 플라즈마를 형성하여 알루미늄 무기산화막을 이용한 고밀도 다층막을 형성하면 더욱 낮은 수분투과율을 갖는 가스차단막을 제작할 수 있을 것으로 보여지며 반도체 소자 및 디바이스의 Pachaging으로도 사용가능 할 것이라 사료된다. 본 연구는 한국산업기술진흥원에서 지원하는 2011년도 지역산업기술개발사업의 연구수행으로 인한 결과물임을 밝힙니다.

Some molybdenum(III) and (IV) complexes have been prepared from the reaction of $MoCl_4$·2MeCN with N, P, O-donating ligands and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and UV-Visible spectroscopy. 3,5-Lutidine, 1,2-phenylenediamine, 8-hydroxyquinoline, 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, triphenylphosphine and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane were chosen as coordinating ligands. Stretching frequencies $\upsilon$ (Mo-Cl) of Mo(IV) appear at higher frequencies than those of Mo(III) complexes due to the increasing oxidation number of metal. $MoCl_4(L)_2$ exhibit one Mo-Cl stretching frequency, whereas Mo$Cl_4$(L^L) exhibit four Mo-Cl stretching frequencies. The number of Mo-Cl stretching frequency suggestes the former complexes have trans($D_{4h}$) and the latter complexes have cis($C_{2v}$) symmetry. Stretching frequency ${\nu}g(C{\equiv}N)$ of acetonitrile in Mo(III) complexes are shifted to about 30 $cm^{-1}$ higher frequency compared with that of a free ligand (2260 $cm^{-1}$). These spectral data indicates that Mo(III) complexes are in the octahedral geometries with the coordinated acetonitrile. Finally each molybdenum(III) and (IV) complexes showed the following formulation; $[MoCl_4(L)_2]$,[Mo$Cl_4$(L^L)], $[MoCl_3(L)_2MeCN]$ and [Mo$Cl_3$(L^L)MeCN].

The chemical evidence for involvement of singlet oxygen during photoirradiation for 2-ethylanthracene [2-EA] and 9-phenylanthracene [9-PA] was based on the rapid decomposition of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran [DPBF] in methanol-water mixture and aqueous CTAB, and SDS micellar solutions. The average microenvironmental polarities of 2-EA and 9-PA were estimated by UV spectroscopic characteristics sensitive to the polarity of solvent. When 2-EA and 9-PA were solubilized in aqueous CTAB, SDS and Brij 35 solutions, their average microenvironmental polarities were polar, and their microenvironmental polarity parameter showed little dependence on the ionic properties of the micelles. The average microenvironmental polarity of 2-EA was similar to the polarity of 40% (w/w) aqueous ethanol, and that of 9-PA was similar to the polarity between 30 and 40% (w/w) aqueous ethanol. It was found that the greater part of these species might be distributed at the surface of micelles when they were solubilized in aqueous micellar solutions. The methanol-water mixture solution appeared to have characteristics more favorable for photooxidation reaction than aqueous micellar solutions.

An experimental investigation is made to determine the mechanism of the aquation of $[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ in $Hg^{2+}$ aqueous solution. The progress of reaction is followed UV/vis-spectrophotometrically by a measurment of the absorbance at a specific wavelength of Co(III) complex as a function of time. The aquation of cis-$[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ and trans-$[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ has been found to be first order and second order with respect to the concentration of $Hg^{2+}$ catalyst, respectively. It has been found that the reaction rate for aquation of the trans-form is faster than that of cis-form, and that the product of either cis-form or trans-form is always in the mixture ratio of 97 % to 3 %. Plausible reaction mechanism is proposed for the reaction system on the basis of kinetic data and activation parameters. Theoretical rate equation derived from the proposed mechanism is consistent with the observed one.

In this study, the antibacterial, antioxidative effect and component analysis of Pinus koraiensis leaf extracts were investigated. MIC values of the ethyl acetate fraction from P. koraiensis leaf extracts on P. acnes, S. aureus, P. ovale, and E. coli were 0.06 %, 0.25 %, 0.13 % and 0.50 %, respectively. The results showed that the antibacterial activity of the ethyl acetate fraction on P. acnes, P. ovale. and S. aureus was more prominent. The aglycone fraction of P. koraiensis leaf extracts ($22.93\;{\mu}g/mL$) showed more higher free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) scavenging activity ($FSC_{50}$). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity ($OSC_{50}$) of P. koraiensis leaf extracts on ROS generated in $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/$H_2O_2$ system was investigated using the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay. The 50 % ethanol extract ($0.70\;{\mu}g/mL$) showed the most prominent ROS scavenging activity. Also the ethyl acetate ($1.04\;{\mu}g/mL$) and the aglycone fraction ($1.43\;{\mu}g/mL$) showed very high antoxidant activity. The protective effects of extract/fractions of P. koraiensis leaf extracts on the rose-bengal sensitized photohemolysis of human erythrocytes were investigated. The P. koraiensis leaf extracts showed cellular membrane protective effects in a concentration dependent manner ($5{\sim}50\;{\mu}g/mL$). TLC and HPLC chromatogram of the ethyl acetate fraction obtained from hydrolysis of P. koraiensis leaf extracts revealed 2 main bands (PK-4, PK-6) and peaks (peak 1, peak 2), which were identified as kaempferol-3-O-glucoside (PK-6, peak 1) and kaempferol-3-O-arabinoside (PK-4, peak 2) by LC/ESI-MS/MS, respectively. These results indicate that extract/fractions of P. koraiensis can function as antioxidants in biological systems, particularly skin exposed to UV radiation by scavenging ROS, and protect cellular membrane against ROS. Extract/fractions of P. koraiensis can be applicable to new cosmeceuticals for antioxidant, antiaging, and antibacterial activity.

Organic dye-doped silica nanoparticles are used as a promising nanomaterials for bio-labeling, bio-imaging and bio-sensing. Fluorescent silica nanoparticles(NPs) have been synthesized by the modified $St{\ddot{o}}ber$ method. In this study, dye-free fluorescent silica NPs of various sized were synthesized by Sol-Gel process as the modified $St{\ddot{o}}ber$ method. The functional material of APTES((3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane) was added as an additive during the Sol-Gel process. The as-synthesized silica NPs were calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The surface morphology and particle size of the as-synthesized silica NPs were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The fluorescent characteristics of the as-synthesized silica NPs was confirmed by UV lamp irradiation of 365 nm wavelength. The photoluminescence (PL) of the as-synthesized silica NPs with different size was analyzed by fluorometry. As the results, the as-synthesized silica NPs exhibits same blue fluorescent characteristics for different NPs size. Especially, as increased of the silica NPs size, the intensity of PL was decreased. The blue fluorescence of dye-free silica NPs was attributed to linkage of $NH_2$ groups of the APTES layer and oxygen-related defects in the silica matrix skeleton.
