This research was to investigate the polyester preparation using waste ethylene glycol (EG) generated from the wastepaper pretreatment process. Waste EG was obtained from using EG five times repeatedly in the pretreatment of wastepaper. The hydroxyl value of the waste EG was 441 mg KOH/g and its composition was 0.68% cellulose, 6.5% hemicellulose, 6.1% lignin, and 86.7% EG. Maleic acid was used as carboxylic acid. The effect of reaction temperature and time except carboxyl group/hydroxyl group ratio on the crosslinkage of the prepared polyester was marginal. Citric acid, lithium hydroxide and dicumyl peroxide were used as additive or catalyst to enhance the crosslinkage of polyester. Among them, 10% of citric acid was found to be most effective. The crosslinkage was 86% when the polyester was prepared at an optimum condition such as $130^{\circ}C$ and 15 minutes, 1.5 of C/H ratio, and 10% of citric acid, and its insoluble percentage in boiling water for 6 hours was 47%. The weight loss of the prepared polyester was approximately 40% when it was buried in damp soil for 5 months, indicating that it is readily biodegradable. This results can provide some information for future development of wastepaper pretreatment by organic solvent.

A class A ${\beta}$-lactamase from Staphylococcus aureus PC1 complexed with 3R,5R-clavulanate is studied. The starting geometry for the computation is the crystal structure of the ${\beta}$-lactamase. Docking of the clavulanate to the enzyme is done exploiting the requirements of electrostatic and shape complementarity between the enzyme and clavulanate. This structure is then hydrated by water molecules and refined by energy minimization and short molecular dynamics simulation. In the energy refined structure of this complex, the carboxyl group of the clavulanate is hydrogen bonded to Lys-234, and the the carbonyl carbon atom of the clavulanate is adjacent to the $O_{\gamma}$ of Ser-70. It is found that a crystallographic water molecule initially located at the oxyanion hole, which is formed by the two -NH group of Ser-70 and Gln-237, is replaced by the carbonyl oxygen atom of the 3R,5R-clavulanate after docking and energy reginement. The crystallographic water molecules are proved to be important in ligand binding. Glu-166 residue is found to be repulsive to the binding of clavulanate, which is in agreement with experimental observation. Arg-244 residue is found to be important to the binding of clavulanate as well as to interaction with C2 side chain of the clavulanate. The electron density redistribution of the clavulanate on binding to the ${\beta}$-lactamase in studied by an ab initio quantum-mechanical calculation. A significant redistribution of electron density of the clavulanate is induced by the enzyme, toward the enzyme, toward the transition state of the enzymatic reaction.

Imidazolinone 계열 제초제의 곁가지를 변화시킨 새로운 구조 즉, pyridine의 3번 위치의 carboxyl기 대신에 N-(2-hyoxyethyl)-${\alpha}$-dicarbonylamide기를 도입한 화합물들(2) 및 N-ethoxycarbonylthioamide기 및 N-benzoylthioamide기와 같은 산도가 높은 thioamide기를 도입한 화합물들(3)을 합성하여, 그 것들의 제초활성을 9종의 초종에 대하여 잡초 발아 전 토양처리와 발아 후 경엽처리를 통하여 조사하였다. 이들의 제초활성은 전체적으로 광엽에 대한 제초활성보다 화본과 잡초에 대한 제초활성이 강하게 나타났다. N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-${\alpha}$-carbonylamide기를 도입한 화합물들(2)은 대부분 250 g/ha의 약량에서 강한 제초활성을 나타냈으며, 특히 화합물 2a는 발아 후 경엽처리 효과가 가장 강하여 대상초종 모두를 90% 이상 방제하였다. N-ethoxycarbonylthioamide기를 도입한 화합물(3a)은 시험초종의 대부분에 대하여 비교적 강한 제초활성을 나타냈으나, N-benzoylthioamide기를 도입한 화합물(3b)은 화본과 잡초는 물론 광엽잡초에 대한 제초활성이 거의 나타나지 않았다.

The action of serotonin on the sodium plus potassium activated ATPase activity in the rabbit red cell membrane has been investigated. The experiments were also designed to determine the mechanism of action of serotonin on the ATPase activity. The following results were obtained. 1) The NaK ATPase activity of rabbit red cell ghosts is stimulated by low concentration of serotonin but inhibited by higher concentration, and the concentration of serotonin for maximal activity is about 2mM. The pH optimum for the serotonin sensitive component is 8.0. 2) The activating effect of serotonin on the ATPase, with a given concentration of sodium in the medium, is increased by raising the potassium concentration but the ratio of activity is decreased. 3) The activating effect of serotonin on the ATPase, with a given concentration of potassium in the medium, is increased by raising the sodium concentration but the ratio of activity is decreased. 4) The ATPase activity is increased by small amounts of calcium but inhibited by larger amounts and the ratio of activity by serotonin is decreased by small amounts of calcium but increased by larger amounts. 5) The action of serotonin on the ATPase activity was not related to the amino group of lysine, the hydroxyl group of threonine, the carboxyl group of aspartic acid, or the imidazole group of histidine. 6) The action of serotonin on the ATPase activity is due to sulfhydryl group of the enzyme of NaK ATPase.

왕겨와 톱밥 3종(미송, 참나무, 포플러)을 sodium hydroxide(NaOH)와 tartaric acid($C_4H_6O_6$)를 처리한 후 중금속 흡착특성을 평가한 결과 모든 소재에서 중금속 선택성은 Pb > Cu > Cd > Zn 순으로 나타났다. 참나무 톱밥(NaOH로 개질)은 Pb(19.36 mg $g^{-1}$)과 Cu(13.47 mg $g^{-1}$)에 대해 그리고 왕겨(tartaric acid로 개질)는 Cd(5.37 mg $g^{-1}$)과 Zn(2.24 mg $g^{-1}$)에 대해 뛰어난 흡착능을 나타내었다. SEM 분석결과 4가지 소재에서 모두 NaOH 개질 후에 표면의 불순물이 제거됨이 확인되었고 흡착표면이 매끄럽게 안정화 된 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. FT-IR 분석결과 왕겨는 1080 $cm^{-1}$에서 carbonyl group, hydroxyl group 등의 관능기가 존재함을 확인하였고 tartaric acid로 개질한 경우 1184 $cm^{-1}$와 1735 $cm^{-1}$에서 carboxylate group, carboxyl group, methylene group 등의 새로운 관능기가 생성됨을 확인하였다. 3종의 톱밥(미송, 참나무, 포플러)에 대한 FT-IR 분석결과 왕겨와 유사한 peak가 관찰되었는데 1030 $cm^{-1}$에서 carbonyl group과 hydroxyl group, 1200 $cm^{-1}$과 1700 $cm^{-1}$ 사이에서 carboxylate group, carboxyl group, methylene group 등이 이에 해당하였다. 한편 NaOH로 개질한 경우 peak에서 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았으나 흡착량이 증가한 것은 표면개질로 새로운 관능기가 생성되지는 않았으나 표면의 불순물이 제거.안정화됨으로써 흡착 표면적이 증가되었기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다.

물에 대한 용해도가 높아 수질오염을 시킬 가능성이 있는 제초제 dicamba를 분해시키기 위하여 zerovalent iron 및 Fenton reagent를 처리하여 분해되는 정도와 분해산물을 동정하였다. ZVI에 의한 dicamba의 분해 반응속도는 pH 3.0이 pH 5.0 조건보다 빠르게 진행되었으며 처리된 ZVI의 양이 0.05%에서 1.0%(w/v)로 증가됨에 따라 분해율이 증가되어 반응 3시간 이내에 90% 이상이 분해되었다. 그러나 ZVI의 처리량이 증가됨에 따라 반응후 용액의 pH 상승으로 인하여 dicamba의 분해효율은 증가되지 않았다. ZVI 처리에 의해 생성된 dicamba의 분해 산물을 diazomethane 유도체화 과정을 거쳐 GC-MS로 분석한 결과 dicamba 구조내의 잔기가 없는 부분에 hydroxylation된 형태인 4-hydroxy dicamba 혹은 5-hydroxy dicamba, 4,5-dihydroxy dicamba 그리고 dicamba 구조내의 carboxyl기가 hydroxyl기로 전환된 형태인 3,6-dichloro-2-methoxyphenol로 예상되는 compound를 확인하였다. 이러한 반응산물은 ferric sulfate를 이용한 Fenton 반응에서 조사된 dicamba의 분해 산물과 동일한 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 ZVI에 의한 dicamba의 탈염소화 분해산물은 확인되지 않았다. 따라서 호기적 조건 하에서 ZVI 처리에 의해 유도되는 제초제 dicamba의 주된 분해 경로는 환원반응보다는 반응용액 중에 존재하는 $O_2$와 $Fe^0$의 산화에 의해 생성된 $Fe^{2+}$ 사이의 Fenton 반응과 같은 산화반응인 것으로 사료된다.

Ethanol catabolism is thought to produce metabolic disorders resulting in alcoholic liver disease. To investigate the mutual effects of ethanol catabolism and cholestasis induced by common bile duct ligation on the activities of carboxylesterase, we have determined the enzyme activities in rat hepatic (cytosolic, mitochondrial, and microsomal) preparations as well as in rat serum using ten animal models: normal rats (group 1), sham-operated rats (group 2), common bile duct-ligated rats (group 3), ethanol-intoxicated rats (group 4), sham-operation plus chronic ethanol-intoxicated rats (group 5), common bile duct-ligated plus chronic ethanol-intoxicated rats at 1.5h and 24h (groups 7A and 7B), and duct-ligated and acute ethanol intoxicated rats at 1.5 h and 24 h (groups 8A and 8B). The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values of carboxylesterase from these hepatic preparations of cholestatic rat liver combined with chronic ethanol intoxication were also measured by using ethyl valerate as the substrate from the 14th day post-ligation. Carboxylesterase activities of all hepatic preparations and rat serum (group 3) showed significant decreases compared to the activities from the sham-operated control (group 2). Enzyme kinetic parameters indicated that $V_{max}$ of carboxylesterase from all the hepatic preparations in cholestatic rats (group 3) decreased significantly, although the $K_m$ values were about the same as in the sham-operated control (group 2). When cholestasis was combined with chronic ethanol intoxication (group 6), carboxylesterase activities showed further decrease in all the hepatic preparations and serum compared to the control activity (group 5). The $V_{max}$ also decreased significantly, although $K_m$ values did not change. When common bile duct ligation was combined with acute ethanol intoxication (group 8), the enzyme activities in the rat liver and serum showed significant decrease compared to the activity from acute ethanol-intoxicated rats (group 7). However, quite contrary to this, the activities of serum from acute ethanol intoxication 1.5 h (group 7A) increased significantly compared to the activities in the normal control (group 1). These results, therefore, suggest that the biosynthesis of hepatic carboxyl-esterase seems to decrease when cholestasis is combined with chronic and acute ethanol intoxication, and the decrease in activity is more significant than from cholestasis alone.

본 연구에서는 polyvinylalcohol(PVA)의 hydroxyl 작용기와 sulfosuccinic acid (SSA)의 carboxylic acid 작용기의 반응을 통하여 열가교된 PVA막을 제조하였다. 설폰산기를 함유한 SSA는 PVA 매트릭스에 대한 가교제의 역할뿐만 아니라 수소이온의 전도도를 높이는 역할 모두를 수행하였다. PVA의 가교도(degree of crosslinking)는 SSA의 함량으로 조절하였고 가교밀도(crosslinking density)는 극성 및 비극성 용매를 이용하여 계산하였다. Xylene 및 benzene과 같은 비극성 용매를 사용한 경우 가교밀도는 SSA함량에 따라 증가하였다. 그러나, 물과 methanol과 같은 극성 용매를 사용한 경우 가교밀도는 SSA함량 20%까지 증가하다가 그 이상의 함량에서는 설폰산기의 영향으로 감소하였다. 가교도와 확산계수, 기계적 물성 및 전도도, 메탄올 투과도 등에 대한 PVA막의 특성을 평가하였고 이들 특성은 SSA함량에 의존하였다.

Maltodextrin and citric acid are two types of natural materials with the potential as an eco-friendly binder. Maltodextrin is a natural substance rich in hydroxyl groups and can form hydrogen bonds with lignoselulosic material, while citric acid is a polycarboxylic acid which can form an ester bond with a hydroxyl group at lignoselulosic material. The combination of maltodextrin and citric acid as a natural binder materials supposed to be increase the ester bonds formed within the particleboard. This research determined to investigate the bonding properties of a new adhesive composed of maltodextrin/citric acid for nipa frond particleboard. Maltodextrin and citric acid were dissolved in distillated water at the ratios of 100/0, 87.5/12.5, 75/25 and 0/100, and the concentration of the solution was adjusted to 50% for maltodextrin and 60% citric acid (wt%). This adhesive solution was sprayed onto the particles at 20% resin content based on the weight of oven dried particles. Particleboards with a size of $25{\times}25{\times}1cm$, a target density $800kg/m^3$ were prepared by hot-pressing at press temperatures of $180^{\circ}C$ or $200^{\circ}C$, a press time of 10 minute and board pressure 3.6 MPa. Physical and mechanical properties of particleboard were tested by a standard method (JIS A 5908). The results showed that added citric acid level in maltodextrin/citric acid composition and hot-pressing temperature had affected to the properties of particleboard. The optimum properties of the board were achieved at a pressing temperature of $180^{\circ}C$ and the addition of only 20% citric acid. The results also indicated that the peak intensity of C=O group increased and OH group decreased with the addition of citric acid and an increase in the pressing temperature, suggesting an interreaction between the hydroxyl groups from the lignocellulosic materials and carboxyl groups from citric acid to form the ester groups.
