We performed molecular dynamics simulations on dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine lipid bilayer with 50 mol% halothane. The structural properties, electron density profile, segmental order parameter of acyl chains, headgroup orientation distribution, water dipole orientation distribution, have been examined. Overall the effects of the halothane molecules on structural properties of DMPC lipid bilayer were found to be small. The electron density profiles, the segmental order parameter, the headgroup orientation, the water dipole orientation were not affected significantly by the halothane molecules. Pressure tensor calculations shows that the lateral pressure increases at the hydrocarbon tail region and the headgroup region, and decreases at the water-headgroup interfacial region.

The stability and electrochemical properties of a self-assembled layer of spinach ferredoxin on a quartz substrate and on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite electrode were investigated. To fabricate the ferredoxin self-assembly layer, dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine was first deposited onto a substrate for ferredoxin immobilization. Surface analysis of the ferredoxin layer was carried out by atomic force microscopy to verify the ferredoxin immobilization. To verify ferredoxin immobilization on the lipid layer and to confirm the maintenance of redox activity, absorption spectrum measurement was carried out. Finally, cyclic-voltammetry measurements were performed on the ferredoxin layers and the redox potentials were obtained. The redox potential of immobilized ferredoxin had a formal potential value of -540 mV. It is suggested that the redox-potential measurement of self-assembled ferredoxin molecules could be used to construct a biosensor and biodevice.

We investigated the electrochemical properties for Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films mixed with 4-octyl-4'-(5-carboxylpentamethyleneoxy)azobenzene (denoted as 8A5H) and $phospholipid(L-{\alpha}-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine$, denoted as DMPC). LB films of 8A5H monolayer and 8A5H-DMPC were deposited by using the Langmuir-Blodgett method on the indium tin oxide(ITO) glass. The electrochemical properties measured by using cyclic voltammetry with a three_electrode system, an Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode at various concentrations(0.1, 0.5, and 1.0mol/L) of $NaClO_4$ solution. A measuring range was reduced from initial potential to -1350mV, continuously oxidized to 1650mV and measured to the initial point. The scan rates were 50, 100, 150 and 200mV/s, respectively. As a result, LB films of 8A5H monolayer appeared irreversible process caused by only the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram and LB films of 8A5H-DMPC mixture were found to be caused by a reversible oxidation-reduction process.

Glucagon was found to interact with DMPC vesicles electrostatically and hydrophobically. It appears that glucagon bound irreversibly to the vesicles through hydrophobic interaction was partially protected from the proteolysis by trypsin. Out of three possible sites, only the peptide bond preceded by Arg-18 was cleaved by a prolonged trypsin treatment. ${\alpha}$-chymotrysin did not affect the vesicle-bound glucagon. Based on these observations, possible structure of irreversibly bound glucagon on the vesicle surface is discussed.

Glucagon fragments dimyristorylphosphatidylcholine(DMPC) liposomes into discoidal complex. The concentration of glucagon required to fragment the vesicles increases with increasing pH and the fragmentation appears to be the result of glucagon binding to the vesicles.(omitted)

We have investgated the photoisomerization using light irradiation 8A5H-phospholipid( L-$\alpha$-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine[DMPC], L-$\alpha$-dilauroylphosphatidylcholine[DLPC]mixture LB film accumulated by monolayer on an ITO. We determined electrochemical measurement by using cyclic voltammetry with a three-electrode system, An Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode measured in $NaClO_{4}$ solution at a variable concentration and variable number layers LB film. The scan rate was 100mV/s.

Maxwell-Displacement-Current(MDC) measuring technique has been applied to the study of monolayers of Dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (L-.alpha.-DLPC) and Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (L-.alpha.-DMPC). The displacement current was generated from monolayers on a water surface by monolayer compression. Displacement current was generated when the area per molecule was about 250.angs.$^{2}$, 280.angs.$^{2}$. Displacement current was generated in the gas state, gas/liquid state, and liquid state in the course of monolayer compression. The orientational change of molecules in monolayers was discussed on the basis of the MDCs obtained. Finally, we measured differential thermal analysis of sample.

국소마취제의 약리학적 작용기전을 탐구키 위하여 소의 신선한 대뇌피질로부터 synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles(SPMV)를 분리한 후 그 소수성 중심부의 microviscosity에 미치는 국소마취제의 영향을 pyrene 형광 probe법으로 측정한 결과 lidocaine HCI과 procaine HCI이 microviscosity를 낮춘다는 것을 알았고 그 정도는 procaine HCI에 비하여 tidocaine.HCI이 더욱 컸다. 또 국소마취 제 가 dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) multilamellar liposomes의 상전 이온도를 낮추며 cooperative unit크기를 감소시킨다는 것도 시차 열량분석법으로 알게 되었다. 상전이온도와 cooperative unit 크기의 감소 정도는 dibucaine HCI>tetracaine HCI>lidocaine HCI > procaine HCI의 순이었다.

Interactions between ganglioside $G_{M3}$ and glucose transporter, GLUT1 were studied by measuring the effect of $G_{M3}$ on steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence of purified GLUT1 in synthetic lipids and on the 3-O-methylglucose uptake by human erythrocytes. The intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence showed a GLUT 1 emission maximum of 335 nm, and increased in the presence of $G_{M3}$ by 12% without shifting the emission maximum, The fluorescence lifetimes of intrinsic tryptophan on GLUT1 consisted of a long component of 7.8 ns and a short component of 2,3 ns and $G_{M3}$ increased both lifetime components. Lifetime components were quenched by acrylamide and KI. Acrylarnide-mduced quenching of long-lifetime components was partly recovered by $G_{M3}$ However. KI-induccd quenching of short- and long-lifetime components was not rescued by $G_{M3}$. The anisotropy of 1.6-diphenyl-1.3.5-hexatriene (DPH)-probed dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) model membrane was also increased with $G_{M3}$ incorporation, The transport rate of 3-O-methylglucose increased by 20% with $G_{M3}$ incorporation on the erythrocytes, Therefore, $G_{M3}$ altered the environment of lipid membrane and induced the conformational change of GLUT1.

We investigated the electrochemical properties for Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films mixed with 4-octyl-4'-(5-carboxylpentamethyleneoxy)azobenzene (denoted as 8A5H) and phospholipid(L-a-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine, denoted as DMPC and L-a-dilauroylphosphayidylcholine, denoted as DLPC).
