  • 1. Introduction : The conventional grafting polymerization technique requires chemically reactive groups on the surface as well as on the polymer chains. For this reason, a series of prefunctionalization steps are necessary for covalent grafting. The surface prefunctionalizational technique for grafting can be used to ionization radiation, UV, plasma, ion beam or chemical initiators. Of these techniques, radiation method is one of the useful methods because of uniform and rapid creation of active radical sites without catalytic contamination in grafted samples. If the diffusion of monomer into polymer is large enough to come to the inside of polymer substrate, a homogeneous and uniform grafting reaction can be carried out throughout the whole polymer substrate. Radiation-induced grafting method may attach specific functional moieties to a polymeric substrate, such as preirradiation and simultaneous irradiation. The former is irradiated at backbone polymer in vacuum or nitrogen gas and air, and then subsequent monomer grafting by trapped or peroxy radicals, while the latter is irradiated at backbone polymer in the presence of the monomer. Therefore, radiation-induced polymerization can be used to modification of the chemical and physical properties of the polymeric materials and has attracted considerable interest because it imparts desirable properties such as blood compatibility. membrane quality, ion excahnge, dyeability, protein adsorption, and immobilization of bioactive materials. Synthesizing biocompatible materials by radiation method such as preirradiation or simultaneous irradiation has often used $\gamma$-rays to graft hydrophilic monomers onto hydrophobic polymer substrates. In this work, in attempt to produce surfaces that show low levels of anti-fouling of bovine serum albumin(BSA) solutions, hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA) was grafted polypropylene membrane surfaces by preirradiation technique. The anti-fouling effect of the polypropylene membrane after grafting was examined by permeation BSA solution.

  • Thiol-ene polymerization is a versatile tool for several applications. Here we report the preparation of epoxide groups containing thiol-ene photocurable polymeric support and the covalent immobilization of ${\alpha}$-amylase onto these polymeric materials. The morphology of the polymeric support was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) coupled with SEM was used to explore the chemical composition. The polymeric support and the immobilization of the enzyme were characterized by FTIR analysis. SEM-EDS and FTIR results showed that the enzyme was successfully covalently attached to the polymeric support. The immobilization efficiency and enzyme activity of ${\alpha}$-amylase were examined at various pH (5.0-8.0) and temperature ($30-80^{\circ}C$) values. The storage stability and reusability of immobilized ${\alpha}$-amylase were investigated. The immobilization yield was $276{\pm}1.6$ mg per gram of polymeric support. Enzyme assays demonstrated that the immobilized enzyme exhibited better thermostability than the free one. The storage stability and reusability were improved by the immobilization on this enzyme support. Free enzyme lost its activity completely within 15 days. On the other hand, the immobilized enzyme retained 86.7% of its activity after 30 days. These results confirm that ${\alpha}$-amylase was successfully immobilized and gained a more stable character compared with the free one.

  • Calculation of partial charge is important in chemistry. However, because there are many methods developed, it is of considerable interest to know how to calculate and apply properly to address various chemical problems. For basis set, usually double zeta quality is acceptable, and double zeta polarization function would be enough for most cases. To describe electronic state more accurately, Many electron configurations would be necessary to describe highly strained or anionic species. The NPA population introduced new concept about amide bonds, i.e., the planar geometry of nitrogen atom may not come from resonance, but from the lowering of p-orbital energy by electronegative carbonyl carbon atom. The issues for hypervalent atomic charges was also addressed by various charge derivation scheme. When the charge schemes were applied to organolithium compounds, the ionic nature of boding was revealed. This comes from the fact that previous Mulliken partial atomic charges overemphasized the covalent character, wihout much justification. The other partial charge derivation schemes such as NPA(natural population analysis), IPP (Integrated Projected Population) showed that much more ionic picture. ESP potential derived charges are generally believed to be suitable to describe intermolecular interactions, therefore they are used for molecular dynamics simulations and CoMFA (comparative molecular field analysis). The charge derivation schemes using multipole polarization was mainly applied to reproduce experimental infrared spectroscopy. In some reports these schemes are also suitable for intermecular electrostatic interactions. Charges derived from electron density gradient have shown the some bonds are not straight, but actually bent. The proper choice of charge-calculation method along with suitable level of theory and basis set are briefly discussed.

  • 탄화규소(SiC)는 산화저항성, 내식성, 고온 강도 및 열전도 특성 등의 기계적 특성이 매우 우수한 재료로 알려져 있지만, 강한 공유결합성으로 인하여 그 소결이 매우 어려운 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 치밀한 탄화규소 소결체를 제조하기 위하여 카본 및 보론을 소결 첨가제로하여 열간 가압 소결법을 적용하여 탄화규소 소결체를 제작하여 그 특성을 평가하였다. 카본의 첨가는 탄화규소의 소결을 촉진하는 역할을 하여 비정상 입성장을 억제하기 때문에 미세하고 균일한 미세구조를 형성하였기 때문에 탄화규소 소결체의 기계적 특성을 향상시키는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 차본의 첨가는 소결 중 보론의 첨가에 의해 발생하는 탄화규소의 6H 구조에서 4H 구조로의 상전이를 억제함을 알 수 있었다.

  • 본 연구에서는 지하수 내의 BTEX 제거를 위한 흡착제로서 다양한 관능기화 메조포러스 실리카를 검토하였다. BTEX 물질로는 파라자일렌이 사용되었다. 관능기화 메조포러스 실리카는 공중합을 통해 MCM-41 기반 구조에 모노아민, 트리아민, 니트릴, 페닐, 옥틸기를 부착하여 합성되었다. 관능기화 메조포러스 실리카에서 파라자일렌 흡착 부위로 작용하는 부위는 Si-O-Si 결합, 계면활성제, 관능기인 것으로 사료된다. 관능기화 메조포러스 실리카의 자일렌 흡착능을 비교한 결과, 옥틸기를 부착한 경우에 MCM-41에 비해 자일렌 흡착능이 향상되었으며, 계면활성제로는 stearyltrimethylammonium chloride(STMACl)가 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTMABr)에 비해 우수하였다. MCM-41을 기본 구조로, 옥틸기를 관능기로, STMACl을 계면활성제로 사용한 메조포러스 실리카는 $20^{\circ}C$에서 Langmuir model 상에서 최대 4.17 mmol/g의 최대 흡착량을 가질 것으로 평가되었으며, 이는 MCM-41에 비해 약 2.9배 높은 수치였다.

  • Human genomic DNA is continuously attacked by oxygen radicals originated from cellular metabolic processes and numerous environmental carcinogens. 2-deoxyribonolactone (dL) is a major type of oxidized abasic (AP) lesion implicated in DNA strand scission, mutagenesis, and formation of covalent DNA-protein crosslink (DPC) with DNA polymerase (Pol) ${\beta}$. We show here that human DNA polymerase (Pol)${\iota}$ and mitochondrial $Pol{\gamma}$ give rise to stable DNA-protein crosslink (DPC) formation that is specifically mediated by dL lesion. $Pol{\gamma}$ mediates DPC formation at the incised dL residue by its 5'-deoxyribose-5-phosphate (dRP) lyase activity, while $Pol{\gamma}$ cross links with dL thorough its intrinsic dRP lyase and AP lyase activities. Reactivity in forming dL-mediated DPC was significantly higher with $Pol{\gamma}$ than with $Pol{\iota}$. DPC formation by $Pol{\gamma}$, however, can be reduced by an accessory factor of $Pol{\gamma}$ holoenzyme that may attenuate deleterious effects of crosslink adducts on mitochondrial DNA. Comparative kinetic analysis of DPC formation showed that the rate of DPC formation with either $Pol{\iota}$ or $Pol{\gamma}$ was lower than that with $Pol{\beta}$. These results revealed that the activity of catalytic lyase in DNA polymerases determine the efficiency of DPC formation with dL damages. Irreversible crosslink formation of such DNA polymerases by dL lesions may result in a prolonged strand scission and a suicide of DNA repair proteins, both of which could pose a threat to the genetic and structural integrity of DNA.

  • N-ethylmaleimide는 낮은 농도에서 Myosin heavy chain의 활성화 부위에 존재하는 2개의 황화기에 선택적으로 결합하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 계 근조직에서 분리된 $Ca^2$+-의존성 단백질 분해효소, Calpain은 이와같이 알킬화된 Myosin heavy chain을 알킬화 되지 않은 것에 비하여 우선적으로 분해하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 황화기를 특이하게 산하시키는 KMnO$_4$가 처리된 Myosin heavy chain도 산화되지 않은 것에 비하여 훨씬 빠른 속도로 분해됨을 관찰하였다. 뿐만아니라, N-ethylmaleimide나 KMnO$_4$의 처리는 농도-의존적으로 myosin에 의한 ATP 분해를 불활성화 시키었다. 이러한 결과는 활성화 부위에 존재하는 황화기의 화학적 변형은 Myosin hsavy chain이 Calapin과 같은 세포내 단백질 분해효소에 의하여 인식되는 기구임을 시사한다.

  • A neoglycolipid, N-stearyl lactobionamide(N-SLBA) was synthesized and the incorporation of the neoglycolipid into liposomes was achieved in order to prepare neo-galactosylated liposome as potential drug carrier for active targeting to galactose receptor existing cell and tissue. N-SLBA was synthesized by the covalent linkage between carboxyl group of lactobionic acid and amino group of stearylamine(SA). The yield of N-SLBA was about 52.3%. It was identified with $1650\;cm^{-1}$ in IR chart, 7.5 ppm in NMR spectra, $61^{\circ}C$ endothermic peak in DSC heating curve. Surface-modified large unilamellar vesicle with galactose(N-SLBA-LUV) could be prepared with N-SLBA by reverse evaporation method. N-SLBA-LUV was identified by TEM and measuring of membrane function. The maximum amount of N-SLBA incorporated into liposome is up to about 15 mol%. Compared with control liposome (SA-LUV), N-SLBA-LUV showed lower encapsulation efficiency of MTX. It might due to the loss of positive surface charge of stearylamine. N-SLBA-LUV was similar to SA-LUV in aspect of osmotic behavior. N-SLBA-LUV prepared with N-SLBA would be expected to be a good carrier for active targeting to galactose receptor existing cell and tissue.

  • The alloying effects on the electronic structures of Zinc are investigated using the relativistic $DV-X{\alpha}molecular$ orbital method in order to obtain useful information for alloy design. A new parameter which is the d obital energy level(Md) and the bonder order(Bo) of alloying elements in Zinc was introduced and used for prediction of the mechanical properties. The Md correlated with the atomic radius and the electronegativity of elements. The Bo is a measure of the strength of the covalent bond between M and X atoms. First-principles calculations of electronic structures were performed with a series of models composed of a MZn18 cluster and the electronic states were calculated by the discrete variational- $X{\alpha}method$ by using the program code SCAT. The central Zinc atom(M) in the cluster was replaced by various alloying elements. In this study energy level structures of pure Zinc and alloyed Zinc were calculated. From calculated results of energy level structures in MZn18 cluster, We found Md and Bo values for various elements of Zn. In this work, Md and Bo values correlated to the tensile strength for the Zn. These results will give some guide to design of zinc based alloys for high temperature applications and it is possible the excellent alloys design.

  • 수분산 폴리우레탄(waterborne polyurethane; WPU)의 물리화학적/전기적 특성을 개선하기 위하여 그래핀에 이소시아네이트기를 도입하고 in-situ 방법으로 폴리우레탄을 중합하여 그래핀/WPU 나노 복합체를 제조하였다. 본 연구의 접근 방법으로 그래핀을 2 wt%까지 그래핀/WPU 나노 복합체에 도입하면 기존 WPU에 비해 인장강도가 57%, 전기전도도는 약 $10^2$배 정도 향상되는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 단순 블렌드 방법으로 만든 그래핀/WPU 복합체와 비교하였을 때, in-situ 중합 방법으로 제조된 복합체가 상대적으로 우수한 기계적 물성과 전기 전도도를 가졌다. 이것은 전자현미경을 이용한 복합체 단면의 형태학적 분석으로부터 이소시아네이트기가 개질된 그래핀(iGO)이 in-situ 중합 방법에 기인한 WPU 매트릭스와의 공유결합과 수소결합을 통하여 균일하게 분산되었기 때문이다.
