듀플렉스 시스템(duplex system)은 조산대의 진화에서 슬립을 전달하는 중요한 매커니즘 가운데 하나로 고려되어 왔다. 이들은 일반적으로 습곡-단층대의 후방지(hinterland)에 발달하며, 조산대를 이루는 총 수축의 많은 부분을 수용한다. 그러므로 듀플렉스의 구조기하학 및 키네마틱 진화에 대해 이해하는 것은 전체 조산대의 진화를 평가하는데 있어 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 듀플렉스는 지질도 상에서 트러스트들에 의한 폐곡선 형태의 단층 자취에 의해 인지되는데, 이들은 인편팬(imbricate fan) 시스템의 경우보다 높은 연결성을 보인다. 원래의 정의에 따르면, 듀플렉스는 바닥트러스트(floor thrust)와 지붕트러스트(roof thrust) 및 이들 사이의 인편상 트러스트(imbricate thrust)들에 의해 사방이 둘러싸인 포로암(horse)들로 구성된다. 이들은 광역적인 지층-평행 수축(layer-parallel shortening)을 수용하며, 바닥트러스트로부터 지붕트러스트로 단층을 따라 발생하는 슬립을 전달하는 역할을 한다. 그러나 인편상 단층이 바닥 및 지붕 트러스트 사이에서 발생하는 지층-평행 수축이나 변위 전달의 유일한 수단은 아니다. 지층-평행 수축 벽개(LPS cleavage)와 분리단층습곡(detachement fold) 또한 동일한 역할을 수행할 수 있다. 이러한 견지에서, 듀플렉스는 1) 단층 듀플렉스, 2) 벽개 듀플렉스, 3) 습곡 듀플렉스의 3가지 유형으로 나눌 수 있다. 단층 듀플렉스는 다시 Boyer-type 듀플렉스와 커넥팅-스플레이(connecting splay) 듀플렉스로 세분된다. 전자는 1980년대에 트러스트시스템의 개념을 적용하여 최초로 정의된 듀플렉스 형태이고, 후자는 듀플렉스 형성 시 포로암들의 발달 순서에 있어 전자의 듀플렉스와 차이를 가진다. 이들 단층 듀플렉스 유형은 전 세계적으로 주요 습곡-단층대의 구조진화 연구에 널리 적용되어왔다. 반면에, 벽개 듀플렉스 및 습곡 듀플렉스는 몇몇의 노두에서 선택적으로 보고된 내용에 기반하여 최근에 새롭게 제안된 듀플렉스 유형이다. 한반도 옥천대 내 태백산 분지 서쪽의 영월지역은 높은 연결성을 보이는 트러스트들에 의한 폐곡선 형태의 단층 자취가 잘 보존되어 있는 곳으로, 국내에서 습곡-단층대 내에서 트러스트시스템에 듀플렉스 모델을 적용시켜 볼 수 있는 최적의 연구지역이다. 이 지역 지질구조에 대한 구조기하학 및 키네마틱스 해석을 바탕으로 영월트러스트시스템은 'Boyer-type 후방지로 경사진 듀플렉스(hinterland-dipping duplex)' 및 '주요 인편상 트러스트와 커넥팅-스플레이로 구성된 듀플렉스(connecting splay duplex)'의 두 가지 모델로 해석된 바 있다. 영월지역 내에 고각의 지층과 트러스트들이 반복되고, 듀플렉스를 구성하는 각 포로암 내에 서로 다른 층서 패키지가 포함되는 등 여러 간접적인 증거들이 후자의 모델을 지지함에도 불구하고, 직접적인 야외 증거나 단층 활동에 대한 시간 정보 등이 부족하기 때문에 두 모델 중 어느 것이 더 적합한지를 판단하기에는 어려움이 따른다. 게다가 최근 새롭게 제안된 습곡 듀플렉스와 벽개 듀플렉스 모델 또한 영월트러스트시스템의 구조 해석에 적용될 수 있는 가능성이 있기 때문에, 향후 영월 및 주변 지역에 대한 추가 야외 지질조사 및 다양한 지구연대학적 연구가 추가적으로 요구된다. 이러한 후속 연구들의 결과는 옥천대의 형성 및 구조진화와 관련된 그간의 난제를 풀 수 있는 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

In animals, microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) repress expression of protein coding genes by assembling distinct RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs). It has previously been shown that passenger-strand cleavage is the predominant mechanism when siRNA duplexes are loaded into Argonaute2 (Ago2)-containing RISC, while an unwinding bypass mechanism is favored for miRNA duplexes with mismatches. Here I present experimental data indicating that some mammalian miRNAs are assembled into Ago2-containing RISC by cleaving their corresponding miRNA star strands. This phenomenon may depend on the secondary structure near the scissile phosphate of the miRNA duplex. In addition, I show that ATP is not required for star-strand cleavage in this process. Taken together, the data here provide insight into the miRNA-loading mechanisms in mammals.

Bacteriophage T4 endonuclease V initiates the repair of ultraviolet (UV)-induced pyrimidine dimer photoproducts in duplex DNA. The mechanism of DNA strand cleavage involves four sequential steps: linear diffusion along dsDNA, pyrimidine dimer-specific binding, pyrimidine dimer-DNA glycosylase activity, and AP lyase activity.

Bizelesin is a promising novel anticancer agent which is known to alkylate N3 of adenine to induce DNA interstrand cross-links (ISC) with in $5^I-TAATTA\; and\; 5^I-TAAAAAA$. We have investigated the base specificity for DNA ISC induced by bizelesin using oligomers containing the cross-linkable sequence $5^I-TAATTA\; and\; 5^I-TAAAAAA$. in which "N" was either A, C, G, or T. An analysis of denaturing polyacrylamide gel showed that bizelesin is able to induce DNA ISC in the duplex oligomer containing sequences $5^I-TAATTA\; and\; 5^I-TAAAAAA$. The formation of interstrand crosslinking did not occur in the sequences $5^I-TAATTA\; and\; 5^I-TAAAAAA$. DNA strand cleavage assay to determine the cross-linking site within $5^I-TAATTA$sequence showed that bizelesin alkylates guanine. These results demonstrate that bizelesin is able to induce DNA ISC at guanine but not at cytosine or thymine. In addition, guanine adducts have been found to be susceptible to DNA strand cleavage by exposure to hot piperidine. The extent of DNA strand cleavage, however, was not 100% efficient in either neutral pH buffer or hot piperidine.

Chlorambucil is known to alkylate primarily N7 of guanine and N3 of adenine to induce DNA monofunctional adducts and interstrand cross-links (ISC). We have investigated the sequence specificity for DNA ISC induced by chlorambucil using duplex oligomers containing a defined cross-linkable sequences $ 5^{I}-A*TT, 5^{I}-G*TTor5^{I}-G*CC$ under bar which asterisk indicates the potential cross-linking site and underlined base indicates the potential cross-linking site on the opposite strand. An analysis of 20% denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that chlorambucil was albe to induce DNA ISC in the duplex oligomers containing a sequence $5^I-GCC$. The formation of DNA ISC was not observed in the duplex oligomers containing sequences $5^I-ATT$. or $5^I-GTT$. These results indicate that chlorambucil induces guanine-guanine DNA ISC but not guanine-adenine or adenine-adenine DNA ISC. In addition, we have tested the ability of chlorambucil to induce DNA ISC within $5^I-GNNC$ or $5^I-GNNC$sequences using duplex oligomers containing the sequence$5^I-G^4G^3G^2^C$. The result of DNA strand cleavage assay showed that DNA ISC was formed at the $5^I-GGC$ sequence (an 1,3 cross-link, $G^1-G^3$) but not at $5^I-GGGC$ (an 1,4 cross-link, $G^1-G^4$) or $5^I-GC$ sequence (an 1,2 cross-link, $G^1-G^2$).

Recent studies have shown that single-stranded DNA adsorbed onto graphene oxide is protected from DNase I cleavage. However, double-stranded DNA bound to graphene oxide and could be digested by DNase I. To elucidate whether single-stranded DNA is protect from DNase I in the presence of graphene oxide, this study conducted DNase I digestion using single-stranded DNA and single-stranded DNA containing the duplex region in the presence of graphene oxide. Addition of DNase I resulted in restoration of the fluorescence emission that had been quenched when DNA was adsorbed to graphene oxide. It indicates that DNase I cleaved the adsorbed single-stranded DNA onto graphene oxide, which was sufficient for the detection of DNase I activity.

Bacteriophage T4 endonuclease V initiates the repair of ultraviolet (UV)-induced pyrimidine dimer photoproducts in duplex DNA. The mechanism of DNA strand cleavage involves four sequential stens: linear diffusion along dsDNA, pyrimidine dimer-specific binding,l pyrimidine dimer-DNA glycosylase activity, and Af lyase activity. Although crystal structure is known for this enzyme, solution structure has not been yet known. In order to elucidate the solution structure of this enzyme NMR spectroscopy was used. As a basis for the NMR peak assignment of the protein, HSQC spectrum was obtained on the uniformly $\^$15/N-labeled T4 endonuclease V. Each amide peak of the spectrum were classified according to amino acid spin systems by interpreting the spectrum of $\^$15/N amino acid-specific labeled T4 endonuclease V. The assignment was mainly obtained from three-dimensional NMR spectra such as 3D NOESY-HMQC, 3D TOCSY-HMQC. These experiments were carried out will uniformly $\^$15/N-labeled sample. In order to assign tile resonance of backbon atom, triple-resonance theree-dimensional NMR experiments were also performed using double labeled($\^$15/N$\^$13/C) sample. 3D HNCA, HN(CO)CA, HNCO, HN(CA)HA spectra were recorded for this purpose. The results of assignments were used to interpret the interaction of this enzyme with DNA. HSQC spectrum was obtained for T4 endonuclease V with specific $\^$15/N-labeled amino acids that have been known for important residue in catalysis. By comparing the spectrum of enzyme*DNA complex with that of the enzyme, we could confirm the important role of some residues of Thr, Arg, Tyr in activity. The results of assignments were also used to predict the secondary structure by chemical shift index (CSI).

The impact properties of two austenitic Fe-23Mn-0.4C steels with different Al contents for cryogenic applications are investigated in this study. The 4Al steel consists mostly of austenite single-phase microstructure, while the 5Al steel exhibits a two-phase microstructure of austenite and delta-ferrite with coarse and elongated grains. Charpy impact test results reveal that the 5Al steel with duplex phases of austenite and delta-ferrite exhibits a ductile-to-brittle transition behavior, while the 4Al steel with only single-phase austenite has higher absorbed energy over 100 J at -196 ℃. The SEM fractographs of Charpy impact specimens show that the 4Al steel has a ductile dimple fracture regardless of test temperature, whereas the 5Al steel fractured at -100 ℃ and -196 ℃ exhibits a mixed fracture mode of both ductile and brittle fractures. Additionally, quasi-cleavage fracture caused by crack propagation of delta-ferrite phase is found in some regions of the brittle fracture surface of the 5Al steel. Based on these results, the delta-ferrite phase hardly has a significant effect on absorbed energy at room-temperature, but it significantly deteriorates low-temperature toughness by acting as the main site of the propagation of brittle cracks at cryogenic-temperatures.
