Binding of nalidixic acid which is used primarily in the treatment of urinary infection and probenecid which is used as a uricosuric agent to bovine serum albumin were studied using difference spectrophotomeric method. 2-(4'-Hydroxybenzeneazo) bcnzoic acid as a spectrophotometric probe was used for measuring the binding of nalidixic acid and probenecid to bovine serum albumin. The association constants of nalidixic acid and probenecid were $1.58{\times}10^{4}M^{-1}$ and $1.70{\times}10^{4}M^{-1}$, respectively.

The immunosuppressive and cell cycle arrest agent rapamycin works by binding together two proteins: the FK506 binding protein (FKBP12) and the FKBP-rapamycin associated protein (FRAP). A 2.7 $\AA$ resolution crystal structure of the triple complex of human FK506 binding protein (FKBP12), rapamycin, and FKBP12-rapamycin binding domain (FRB) of FRAP, reveals two proteins bound together through rapamycin' s ability to simultaneously occupy two different hydrophobic binding pockets.

We recently found that the insect-derived antimicrobial peptide CopA3 (LLCIALRKK) directly binds to and inhibits the proteolytic activation of caspases, which play essential roles in apoptotic processes. However, the mechanism of CopA3 binding to caspases remained unknown. Here, using recombinant GST-caspase-3 and -6 proteins, we investigated the mechanism by which CopA3 binds to caspases. We showed that replacement of cysteine in CopA3 with alanine caused a marked loss in its binding activity towards caspase-3 and -6. Exposure to DTT, a reducing agent, also diminished their interaction, suggesting that this cysteine plays an essential role in caspase binding. Experiments using deletion mutants of CopA3 showed that the last N-terminal leucine residue of CopA3 peptide is required for binding of CopA3 to caspases, and that C-terminal lysine and arginine residues also contribute to their interaction. These conclusions are supported by binding experiments employing direct addition of CopA3 deletion mutants to human colonocyte (HT29) extracts containing endogenous caspase-3 and -6 proteins. In summary, binding of CopA3 to caspases is dependent on a cysteine in the intermediate region of the CopA3 peptide and a leucine in the N-terminal region, but that both an arginine and two adjacent lysines in the C-terminal region of CopA3 also contribute. Collectively, these results provide insight into the interaction mechanism and the high selectivity of CopA3 for caspases.

Chelating agents 1,4,7-triazacyclononanetriacetic acid (NOTA), 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) and 30-amino-3,14,25-trihydroxy-3,9,14,20,25-penta-azatriacontane-2,10,13,21,24-pentaone (desferrioxamine, DFO) were labeled with $^{68}Ga$ and tested in vitro properties to check the feasibility of using DFO as a bifunctional chelating agent or renal imaging agent. The chelating agents of concentration $2{\mu}M$ were labeled with $^{68}Ga$ in 0.1 M HCl at pH 1.7-10.3 at room temperature and $80^{\circ}C$ and the optimal pH for labeling each chelating agent was found. And then, the chelating agents were labeled with $^{68}Ga$ in various concentration of chelating agents at optimal pH. The labeled chelating agents were subject to stability test in human serum and to binding studies to human red blood cell (RBC) and plasma protein. The optimal pH's of NOTA, DOTA and DFO for $^{68}Ga$-labeling were 4.4, 3.6 and 5.6, respectively. DFO ($10{\mu}M$) showed high labeling efficiency (>97%) at pH 5.6. All the labeled chelating agents showed high stability in human serum. $^{68}Ga$-DFO showed low RBC binding but significant amount was bound to plasma protein. The results demonstrated that $^{68}Ga$-DFO can be used as a bifunctional chelating agent but not as a renal imaging agent.

IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) 표준화 기구에서 최근에 완료된 MIPv6 (Mobile IPv6) 관련 표준 RFC3775, RFC3776는 이동노드와 홈에이전트 사이에 사전에 보안연계 (SA : Security Association)가 설정 된 이후에 이동중에 홈에이전트와 상대노드에게 이동사실을 안전하게 통보하는 위치갱신에 관한 방법을 제시하고 있다. 그러나 이 표준 규격에는 이동노드의 시동(Bootstrapping)과 시동의 경우에 이동노드와 홈에이전트 간에 보안연계를 설정하는 문제에 대하여 제시된 방식이 없다. 본 논문에서는 이동노드와 홈에이전트간의 안전한 시동을 위한 방식을 제시하였다. 이 방식은 인증, 위치갱신, 홈에이전트 할당 그리고 보안연계 분배를 AAA의 안전한 채널을 통하여 이동노드와 홈에이전트간에 수행한다. 그리고 제안된 방식을 기능, 라운드트립 그리고 보안강도 관점에서 특성분석 하였다.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-$1{\alpha}$ ($HIF-1{\alpha}$) mediates tumor cell adaptation to hypoxic conditions and is a potentially important anticancer therapeutic target. We previously developed a method for synthesizing a benzofuran-based natural product, (R)-(-)-moracin-O, and obtained a novel potent analog, MO-460 that suppresses the accumulation of $HIF-1{\alpha}$ in Hep3B cells. However, the molecular target and underlying mechanism of action of MO-460 remained unclear. In the current study, we identified heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2B1 (hnRNPA2B1) as a molecular target of MO-460. MO-460 inhibits the initiation of $HIF-1{\alpha}$ translation by binding to the C-terminal glycinerich domain of hnRNPA2B1 and inhibiting its subsequent binding to the 3'-untranslated region of $HIF-1{\alpha}$ mRNA. Moreover, MO-460 suppresses $HIF-1{\alpha}$ protein synthesis under hypoxic conditions and induces the accumulation of stress granules. The data provided here suggest that hnRNPA2B1 serves as a crucial molecular target in hypoxiainduced tumor survival and thus offer an avenue for the development of novel anticancer therapies.

Alkali metal salts were introduced to enhance the ionization efficiency of glucose and maltooligoses in electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). A mixture of the same moles of glucose, maltose, maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, and maltoheptaose was used. Salts of lithium, sodium, potassium, and cesium were employed as the cationizing agent. The ionization efficiency varied with the alkali metal cation types as well as the analyte sizes. Ion abundance distribution of the [M+$cation]^+$ ions of the carbohydrates varied with the fragmentor voltage. The maximum ion abundance at low fragmentor voltage was observed at maltose, while the maximum ion abundance at high fragmentor voltage shifted to maltotriose or maltotetraose for Na, K, and Cs. Variation of the ionization efficiency was explained with the hydrated cation size and the binding energy of the analyte and alkali metal cation.

Oltipraz, a cancer chemopreventive agent, induces CYP1A1 to a certain extent by transactivation of the gene via the Ah receptor (AhR)-xenobiotic response element (XRE) pathway. Previously, we showed that oltipraz promoted CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP ) activation, which leads to the induction of glutathione S-transferase. Given that oltipraz activates C/EBP for gene transactivation and that the putative C/CBP binding site is located in CY)1A1 promoter region, this study investigated the effect of oltipraz on CYP1A1 induction by 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC).

Inorganic binding material was made by recycled resource and its applicability as pile-filling material was examined. The result was that the material had same liquidity with the liquidity of OPC and high reactivity with site soil. According to dynamic/static loading tests by site test-construction, the inorganic binding material met both design bearing capacity and settlement. Since the inorganic binding material showed same or better performance than OPC, the utilization possibility of the inorganic binding material made of recycled resource as pile-filling material was verified.

A binding protein of radio-labeled sanjoinine-A (fangufoline) in rat brain cytoplasm was investigated, using an equilibrium dialysis technique. The labeled agent was bound to the cytosol fraction with two distinctly different types of sets in calclum ion-dependent manner. The bound protein was identified as calmodulin by dgel filtration of the sanjoinine-A bound cytosol fraction on a Sephadex G-75 column. Calmodulin was bound to sanjoinine-A bound at two sets of binding sites in the calculated as two at high affinity sites $(Kd=1.1\;mu{M)}$ and four at low affinity sites $(Kd=3.1\;\mu{M)}$.
