Peroxynitrite enters erythrocytes through band 3 anion exchanger and oxidizes cytosolic proteins therein. As a protein associated with band 3, carbonic anhydrase II may suffer from peroxynitrite-induced oxidative damages. Esterase activity of carbonic anhydrase II decreased as the concentration of peroxynitrite increased. Neither hydrogen peroxide nor hypochlorite affected the enzyme activity. Inactivation of the enzyme was in parallel with the release of zinc ion, which is a component of the enzyme's active site. SDS-PAGE of peroxynitrite-treated samples showed no indication of fragmentation but non-denaturing PAGE exhibited new bands with lower positive charges. Western analysis demonstrated that nitration of tyrosine residues increased with the peroxynitrite concentration but the sites of nitration could not be determined. Instead MALDI-TOF analysis identified tryptophan-245 as a site of nitration. Such modification of tryptophan residues is responsible for the decrease in tryptophan fluorescence. These results demonstrate that peroxynitrite nitrates tyrosine and tryptophan residues of carbonic anhydrase II without causing fragmentation or dimerization. The peroxynitrite-induced inactivation of the enzyme is primarily due to the release of zinc ion in the enzyme's active site.

The formation of zinc finger peptide-$Zn^{2+}$ complexes in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was examined using three different metal ion sources: $ZnCl_2$, $Zn(CH_3COO)_2$, and $Zn(OOC(CHOH)_2COO)$. For the four zinc finger peptides (Sp1-1, Sp1-3, CF2II-4, and CF2II-6) that bind only a single $Zn^{2+}$ in the native condition, electrospray of apo-zinc finger in solution containing $ZnCl_2$ or $Zn(CH_3COO)_2$ resulted in the formation of zinc finger-$Zn^{2+}$ complexes with multiple zinc ions. This result suggests the formation of nonspecific zinc finger-$Zn^{2+}$ complexes. Zn(tartrate), $Zn(OOC(CHOH)_2COO)$, mainly produced specific zinc finger-$Zn^{2+}$ complexes with a single zinc ion. This study clearly indicates that tartrate is an excellent counter ion in ESI-MS studies of zinc finger-$Zn^{2+}$ complexes, which prevents the formation of nonspecific zinc finger-$Zn^{2+}$ complexes.

A rapid flotation methodology for zinc(II) separation and enrichment from human biofluids is established. At pH 6.0 and ambient temperature, using oleic acid (HOL) as a foaming reagent, zinc(II) was separated with phenanthraquinone monophenyl thiosemicarbazone (PPT) as a new flotation collector for Zn(II). The floated red colored 1 : 2 Zn(II)-PPT complex was measured spectrophotometrically at 526 nm with a molar absorptivity of $1.83 \;{\times}\; 10^5\; L$ mol $L ^{-1}\;cm ^{-1}$. Beer's law was obeyed over a concentration range 0.05-1.0 mg $L ^{-1}$ in the aqueous as well as in the scum layers. The proposed preconcentration flotation methodology was applied to determine Zn(II) in human biofluids. Application was, also, extended to determine Zn(II) in pharmaceutical samples and natural water samples spiked with known amounts of Zn(II) with a preconcentration factor of 100 and a detection limit of 10 ng m$L ^{-1}$. The method was verified by comparison of the spectrophotometric results with flame atomic absorption spectrometric (AAS) measurements. Moreover a postulation for the mechanism of flotation is proposed.

본 논문은 수용액에서 Zn 이온이 tetraaza 거대고리 리간드의 일종인 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane(cyclam) 리간드와 결합하여 착물(배위화합물)을 형성할 때, 리간드의 배위상태와 착물의 구조를 Raman 스펙트럼, 전기전도도법을 통하여 알아보았다. Raman 스펙트럼에 의해, Zn이온의 trans 배위자리에 $H_{2}O$ 분자와 $Cl^{-}$이온이 경쟁하고 있음을 알았다. 전기전도도법에 의하면, $ZnCl_{2}$ 수용액에 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane(cyclam) 리간드를 가하면 2:1 전해질에서 1:1 전해질로 바뀐다. 즉, Zn이온의 trans 배위자리에 $H_{2}O$ 분자와 $Cl^{-}$이온이 경쟁하고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, macrocyclic polyamine의 일종인 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane(cyclam) 리간드의 중금속 친화력 효과를 통해, 유해 중금속을 몸에서 배출시킬 수 있는 chelating agent로 사용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여 주었다.

Zinc occurs in the nature as sulfide, carbonate, silicate, and oxide. In natural water, zinc is generally in the form of the divalent cation $Zn^{2+}$ as well as in the form of fairly weakly bound complexes. Human activities introduce zinc ion to the hydrosphere in many ways. The zinc complexes in the aqueous environment are accumulated not only in aquatic organisms but also in human body ultimately through physico-chemical and/or biological processes. (omitted)

DMF 용액 중에서 zinc(II) 이온과 copper(II) 이온의 bilirubin과의 착물형성 여부를 조사하고 Zn(II)-bilirubin(이하 Zn(II)-BR로 줄임) 착물의 전기화학적 성질을 여러가지 전기화학적인 방법으로 조사하였다. Zn(II)는 DMF 용액 중에서 bilirubin과 착물을 형성하였으나, Cu(II)는 bilirubin과 착물을 형성하지 않고 오히려 bilirubin의 산화를 촉진시켰다. Zn-BR 착물은 3단계의 환원과정을 거치며, 제1파와 제2파의 환원전류는 반응성 전류가 약간 포함된 환산전류이었으며, 제3파의 환원전류는 확산지배적인 전류이었다.

Gentamicin sulfate reacted with pyridoxal and zinc (II) ion in pyridine-methanol solution to yield highly fluorescent zinc(II) chelates of N-pyridoxylidene derivatives. This fluorescence reaction was sensitive and showed excitation maximum at 398nm, and emission maximum at 482nm. The effects of reagent concentration, reaction time and temperature, standing time and temperature were studied. And a new fluorophotometric method for the determination of gentamicin sulfate was developed. A good result was obtained and this method was applied to various preparations.

Single crystal EPR and optical studies of a mixed ligand zinc(II) complex doped with VO(II) ion is carried out to establish the structural properties. The angular variation of vanadyl hyperfine lines indicates a single site, with spin Hamiltonian parameters as: $g_{xx}=1.985$, $g_{yy}=1.979$, $g_{zz}=1.943$; $A_{xx}=8.71$, $A_{yy}=6.41$ and $A_{zz}=17.80$ mT. By comparing the direction cosines of principal g and A values with the direction cosines of metalligand bonds, it has been confirmed that the vanadyl ion has entered the lattice interstitially. The exact interstitial position of VO(II) in host lattice has been calculated using the fractional coordinates of atoms in the host lattice out of many assumptions. The EPR and optical data have been confirmed to obtain various bonding parameters, from which the nature of the bonding in the complex is discussed. FT-IR confirms the formation of structure of host lattice.

A rapid and selective co-extraction systems of copper and zinc-thiocyanate complex into various types of alkylamine for the simultaneous determination of two metal ions by atomic absorption spectrometry and ion chromatograph have been proposed. The quantitative extractions of Cu(II) and Zn(II) at 0.1 M-thiocyanate and 0.1 M-HCI were achieved with Aliquat 336-$CHCl_3$. The detection limits of Cu and Zn were 2 ppb and 0.9 ppb respectively.

The dissolution amount of Zn plate was $0.058mg/cm^2$ in the non-magnetically treated solution, and was $0.059mg/cm^2$ in the magnetically treated solution after 24 hours of immersion. The magnetic treatment had no effect to corrosion of Zn plate as pH on surface was not recognized the difference. The addition of Zn(II) ion in the solution was prepared to the effects of corrosion and dissolution of Fe. The regularity was not obtained the effect of the magnetic treatment on the dissolution of Fe plate.
