지의류는 곰팡이, 조류 및 남조균류의 공생체이다. 본 연구팀은 최근 북극 지의류로부터 분리한 몇몇 미생물 종의 항산화 활성에 대하여 연구하였고, 그들의 높은 항산화 활성을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 Cladonia sp., Sterocaulon sp., Umbilicaria sp. 및 Cetraria sp. 총 4종류의 지의류로부터 5종의 미생물을 새롭게 분리하였고 배양 후, 다양한 용매 추출법으로 그들의 항산화능을 조사하였다. DPPH와 ABTS 자유 라디컬 소거능 측정법 및 FRAP 분석 등을 수행하였다. 또한 총 폴리페놀함량과 총플라보노이드 함량 분석 역시 수행하였다. 지의류 유래 미생물 배양 추출액 중, Burkholderia sordidicola S5-B(T) 유사 미생물 종의 에틸아세테이트 추출액은 DPPH 분석에서 대조군인 아스코르빈산 (51.3%)에 비해 72.9%로 높은 항산화 활성을 보였을 뿐만 아니라, 높은 플라보노이드와 폴리페놀 함량을 나타내었다. 결과적으로, 이러한 지의류 유래 미생물 종들은 잠재적으로 천연 항산화제의 원천소재로서 이용가능할 것이다.

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was first discovered in 1974 by an unexpected Raman signal increase from Pyridine adsorbed on rough Ag electrode surfaces by the M. Fleishmann group. M. Moskovits group suggested that this phenomenon could be caused by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), which is a collective oscillation of free electrons at the surface of metal nanostructures by an external light source. After about 40 years, the SERS study has attracted great attention as a biomolecule analysis technology, and more than 2500 new papers and 500 review papers related to SERS topic have been published each year in recently. The advantages of biomaterials analysis using SERS are as follows; ① Molecular level analysis is possible based on unique fingerprint information of biomolecule, ② There is no photo-bleaching effect of the Raman reporters, allowing long-term monitoring of biomaterials compared to fluorescence microscopy, ③ SERS peak bandwidth is approximately 10 to 100 times narrower than fluorescence emission from organic phosphor or quantum dot, resulting in higher analysis accuracy, ④ Single excitation wavelength allows analysis of various biomaterials, ⑤ By utilizing near-infrared (NIR) SERS-activated nanostructures and NIR excitation lasers, auto-fluorescence noise in the visible wavelength range can be avoided from in vivo experiment and light damage in living cells can be minimized compared to visible lasers, ⑥ The weak Raman signal of the water molecule makes it easy to analyze biomaterials in aqueous solutions. For this reason, SERS is attracting attention as a next-generation non-invasive medical diagnostic device as well as substance analysis. In this review, the principles of SERS and various biomaterial analysis principles using SERS analysis will be introduced through recent research papers.

본 연구는 충청남도 부여군 규암면 오수리 유적에서 발굴된 인골 4개체를 대상으로 조직학, 분자유전학, 골화학 분석 등 종합적인 연구를 통해 이들의 상관관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 실체현미경을 통해 인골 시료의 골조직 단면 구조를 관찰함으로써 각 시료의 조직학적 보존 상태를 단계별로 구분하였고, 잔존하는 단백질의 보존 상태는 콜라겐을 추출하여 수율을 측정함으로써 평가하였다. 또한 미토콘드리아 cytochrome b 유전자를 이용한 실시간 유전자 증폭법을 이용하여 각각의 인골 시료에 잔존하는 미토콘드리아 DNA의 상대적 보존량 및 복제수를 분석하였으며, 미토콘드리아 과변위부위의 염기서열을 동정하였다. 본 연구 결과 인골 시료의 조직학적 보존정도, 콜라겐 단백질의 잔존량, 미토콘드리아 DNA의 복제수는 상호 긍정적인 연관관계로 나타났다. 이 연구는 출토 인골의 생물 화학적 분석 가능성을 예측하기 위한 특성지표 연구의 중요자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

To investigate the structure and function of photosystem I, cartridge mutagenesis technique was used to inactivate the psaB gene of photosystem I. From the screen, many strains which have potential defects in photosystem I were generated. Biochemical analysis revealed that B2, one of the mutant, had a reduced amount of chlorophyll. Electron transfer activitx from photosystem II to photosystem I as oxygen uptake was the rate of 64 % of wild type. Also B2 showed a decreased photosystem I activity when measured by 77 K fluorescence emission spectrum. Particularly, immunodetection analysis showed that the B2 had reduced amount of PsaA/PsaB, but a normal range of PsaC and PsaD. Here we present a photoheterotrophic mutant for psaB gene as a unique model strain for future study of structural/functional relationship and biogenesis of photosystem I.

One-dimensional, nanomaterial field effect transistors (FET) are promising sensors for bio-molecule detection applications. In this paper, we review fabrication and characteristics of 1-D nanomaterial FET type biosensors. Materials such as single wall carbon nanotubes, Si nanowires, metal oxide nanowires and nanotubes, and conducting polymer nanowires have been widely investigated for biosensors, because of their high sensitivity to bio-substances, with some capable of detecting a single biomolecule. In particular, we focus on three important aspects of biosensors: alignment of nanomaterials for biosensors, surface modification of the nanostructures, and electrical detection mechanism of the 1-D nanomaterial sensors.

This paper presents a new method and an associated device, capable of detecting protein presence and size from the shift of the mechanical stiffness changing points due to the presence and size of proteins in a nano-gap actuator. Compared to the conventional resonant detection method, the present nanomechanical stiffness detection method shows higher precision for protein detection. The present method also offers simple and inexpensive protein detection devices by removing labeling process and optical components. We design and fabricate the nanomechanical protein detector using an electrothermal actuator with a nano-gap. In the experimental study, we measure the stiffness changing points and their coordinate shift from the devices with and without target proteins. The fabricated device detects the protein presence and the protein size of 14.0$\pm$7.4nm based on the coordinate shift of stiffness changing points. We experimentally verify the protein presence and size detection capability of the nanomechanical protein detector for applications to high-precision biomolecule detection.

Mitochondria are ubiquitous and multi-functional organelles involved in diverse metabolic processes, namely energy production and biomolecule synthesis. The intracellular mitochondrial morphology and distribution change dynamically, which reflect the metabolic state of a given cell type. A dramatic change of the mitochondrial dynamics has been observed in early development that led to further investigations on the relationship between mitochondria and the process of development. A significant developmental process to focus on, in this review, is a differentiation of neural progenitor cells into neurons. Information on how mitochondria-regulated cellular energetics is linked to neuronal development will be discussed, followed by functions of mitochondria and associated diseases in neuronal development. Lastly, the potential use of mitochondrial features in analyzing various neurodevelopmental diseases will be addressed.
