The nascent thyroglobulin (Tg) multimer molecule, which is generated during the initial fate of Tg in ER, undergoes the rapid reductive depolymerization. In an attempt to determine the depolymerization process, various types of Tg multimers, which were generated from deoxy­cholate-treated/reduced Tg, partially unfolded Tg or partially unfolded/reduced Tg, were subjected to various GSH (reduced glutathione) reducing systems using protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), glutathione reductase (GR), glutaredoxin or thioredoxin reductase. The Tg multimers generated from deoxycholate-treated/reduced Tg were depolymerized readily by the PDI/GSH system, which is consistent with the reductase activity of PDI. The PDI/GSH-induced depolymerization of the Tg multimers, which were generated from either partially unfolded Tg or partially unfolded/reduced Tg, required the simultaneous inclusion of glutathione reductase, which is capable of reducing glutathionylated mixed disulfide (PSSG). This suggests that PSSG was generated during the Tg multimerization stage or its depolymerization stage. In particular, the thioredoxin/thioredoxin reductase system or glutaredoxin system was also effective in depolymerizing the Tg multimers generated from the unfolded Tg. Overall, under the net GSH condition, the depolymerization of Tg multimers might be mediated by PDI, which is assisted by other reductive enzymes, and the mechanism for depolymerizing the Tg multimers differs according to the type of Tg multimer containing different degrees and types of disulfide linkages.

펄프 및 제지산업에서 목재의 셀룰로오스 성분 활용 후 남는 부산물인 크라프트 리그닌(kraft lignin)은 촉매적 저분자화 공정을 통해 바이오연료나 고부가가치 페놀 단량체로 전환될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 크라프트 리그닌의 효율적인 저분자화를 위한 촉매로 수소화 금속 및 산-염기점을 동시에 지니는 Ru-Mg-Al-oxide 복합 촉매를 제조하고, 리그닌 분해 성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 촉매 내 다양한 활성점들(산점, 염기점, 수소화 금속)이 리그닌 분해 반응에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 MgO, Mg-Al-oxide, Ru-Mg-Al-oxide의 세 가지 촉매를 제조하여 초임계 에탄올 용매 상에서 리그닌 분해 반응을 수행하였고, 리그닌 분해 성능은 바이오오일(bio-oil) 수율 및 분자량, 그리고 페놀계 단량체 수율을 통해 평가하였다. 그 결과, Ru-Mg-Al-oxide 촉매가 다양한 활성점들의 시너지 효과로 인해 가장 높은 수율의 바이오오일 및 페놀 단량체들을 생산한다는 것을 확인하였다. Ru-Mg-Al-oxide 촉매 상에서 분해 효율을 최적화하기 위해 다양한 반응 조건(온도, 시간, 촉매양)에 따른 분해 효율을 평가하였고, 최종적으로 반응온도 350 ℃, 리그닌 대비 촉매 비율 10%, 4 h 반응을 통해 72%의 높은 바이오오일 수율과 무촉매 대비 3.5배 이상 증가한 페놀 단량체를 생산할 수 있었다.

Plant biomass has been proposed to be an alternative source for petroleum-based chemical compounds. Especially, phenolic chemical compounds can be obtained from lignin by chemical depolymerization processes because lignin consists of complex aromatic polymer such as trans-p-coumaryl, coniferyl and sinapyl alcohols, etc. Phenolic chemical compounds from lignin were usually produced in super critical water. However, we applied Near-critical water (NCW) system because NCW is known as a good solvent for lignin depolymerization. Organic matter like lignin can be solved in NCW system and the system has a unique acid-base property without conventional non-eco-friendly chemicals such as sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide. In this work, we tried to optimize the NCW depolymerization system by adjusting the processing variables such as reaction time, temperature and pressure. Moreover, the amount of additional phenol was optimized by changing the molar ratio between water and phenol. Phenol was used as capping agent to prevent re-polymerization of active fragment such as formaldehyde. Alkali-lignin was used as a starting material and characterized by a Solid State 13C-NMR, FT-IR and EA (Elemental Analysis). GC-MS analysis confirmed that o-cresol, p-cresol, anisole and 4-hydroxyphathalic acid were the main product and they were quantitatively analyzed by HPLC.

Chitosan was depolymerized by oxidizing agent, hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) and general properties of resulting low molecular weight chitosan(LMWC) were studied. Effect of amount of $H_2O_2$, ratio of $H_2O_2$/chitosan, and reaction temperature were investigated in preparing LMWC. In addition, the reduction of molecular weight of prepared LMWC were measured after a certain time passage. Pre-swelling treatment of starting chitosan affected uniform and mild reaction of depolymerization and increased the solubility of resulting LMWC. Prepared LMWC (Mw 100,000) showed a decrease in Mw by 25-35%. Prepared LMWC(Mw 60,000-70,000) showed a decrease in Mw by 10-15% after 7 months. Therefore, this depolymerizing process can be concluded desirable in terms of stability. In addition, yellowing of pre-swelling treated chitosan upon time passage was insignificant compared with that of untreated chitosan. Therefore, pre-swelling treatment of chitosan before depolymerization would be beneficial in terms of stability of physical state.

본 연구에서는 촉매 존재 하에서 에틸렌글리콜(EG)를 이용하여 글리콜리시스를 통해 PET(Poly ethylene terephthalate)을 해중합하여 BHET(bis-hydroxyethyl terephthalate)를 얻기 위한 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 촉매는 zinc acetate가 사용되었고, 생성물은 high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)으로 분석하였다. 반응 시간, 반응 온도, EG양과 같은 조건들의 영향을 알아보았으며, 반응 속도식을 구하였다. 그 결과 반응 온도와 반응 시간이 증가함에 따라 BHET의 수율과 해중합 속도는 증가하였지만, 너무 높은 반응 온도 $250^{\circ}C$에서는 BHET가 중합반응을 일으켜 $230^{\circ}C$ 보다 수율이 낮게 나타났다. 1차 반응속도 모델을 가정하여 반응 활성화에너지를 구하였다. 얻어진 활성화 에너지는 $210^{\circ}C$ 이상과 $210^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 각각 37.8, 149.6 kJ/mol이었다. 이는 이 반응이 다단 연속 반응임을 보여준다. BHET의 최대 수율은 반응 온도 $230^{\circ}C$, 반응 시간 6시간 그리고, EG/PET의 비율이 4일 때 가장 높은 71%의 수율을 나타내었다.

Polycarboxylics acids are used as crosslinking agents for cotton cellulose to produce durable finished press cotton fabric. It has been observed that the strength of the cotton fabric treated with polycarboxylic acids showed significant reduction as a result of the crosslinking process. The effect of acid-catalyzed depolymerization on the tear strength of cotton fabric is investigated by evaluating the cotton fabric treated by succinic acid, which does not crosslink cotton cellulose and form little ester on the cotton fabric. We find that the tear strength of cotton fabric treated with succinic acid decreases at elevated temperature due to acid-catalyzed depolymerization of cellulose. The magnitude of fabric strength reduction increases as the acid concentration increases. At a constant acid concentration, it increases as the curing temperature and time increases. It decreases as the pH of the acid solution increases. We also find that the dissociation constant of an acid also has a significant effect on the fabric strength reduction. The magnitude of fabric tear strength reduction increases as the acid dissociation constant decreases.

Drug delivery systems have been developed to reduce the side toxicity of drugs by localizing them in the site of action. But it depends on the circulation of the blood and it doesn't have the function of locomotive mechanism of itself for searching for the region of disease. However, this problem could be solved by nanobot which have the locomotive function. So, we mimic the movement of cell that can move in a human body. In this paper, to polymerize the encapsulated actin within the liposome, electroporation technique is employed. In order to optimize polymerization and depolymerization of the liposome, we compare the time of polymerization and depolymerization by concentration of crown ether. we synthesis the liposome which contain azobenzene Linked crown Ether conjugated Actin protein. Azobenze linked crown ether holds the K+ ion by exposure of UV light and this disturbs the actin polymerization. In result, UV light could control the liposome growth. Finally, we could develop the liposome robot and control the growth and degeneration of the liposome by external stimuli such s UV light. The merit of the controlling by UV light doesn't need to inject proteins which induce polymerization and depolymerization of actin protein.

To determine the chemopreventive potential of alyssin and iberin, the in vitro anticancer activities and molecular targets of isothiocyanates (ITCs) were measured and compared to sulforaphane in hepatocellular carcinoma cell HepG2. The SR-FTIR spectra observed a similar pattern vis-a-vis the biomolecular alteration amongst the ITCs-treated cells suggesting a similar mode of action. All of the ITCs in this study cause cancer cell death through both apoptosis and necrosis in concentration dependent manner ($20-80{\mu}M$). We found no interactions of any of the ITCs studied with DNA. Notwithstanding, all of the ITCs studied increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and suppressed tubulin polymerization, which led to cell-cycle arrest in the S and $G_2/M$ phase. Alyssin possessed the most potent anticancer ability; possibly due to its ability to increase intracellular ROS rather than tubulin depolymerization. Nevertheless, the structural influence of alkyl chain length on anticancer capabilities of ITCs remains inconclusive. The results of this study indicate an optional, potent ITC (viz., alyssin) because of its underlying mechanisms against hepatic cancer. As a consequence, further selection and development of effective chemotherapeutic ITCs is recommended.
