A new $N_3-O_2$ pentadentate ligand, H-BHPT, was synthesized. Hydrochloric acid salts of Br-BHPT, Cl-BHPT, $CH_3O$-BHPT and $CH_3$-BHPT, having Br-, Cl-, $CH_{3-}$ and $CH_3O-$ substituents at the para position of the phenol hydroxyl group of H-BHPT were synthesized. Hydrochloric acid salts of 3OH-BHPT and 4OH-BHPT, having different position of the phenol hydroxyl group of H-BHPT were also synthesized. The synthesis of each ligand was confirmed by C. H. N. atomic analysis and $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR, UV-visible, and mass spectra. The calculated proton dissociation constants ($log{K_n}^H$) of the phenol hydroxyl group and secondary amine group of the synthesized $N_3-O_2$ ligands showed five steps of the proton dissociations. The order of the overall proton dissociation constants ($log{\beta}_p$) of the ligands was Br-BHPT < Cl-BHPT < H-BHPT < $CH_3O$-BHPT < $CH_3$-BHPT. The order agreed with that of Hammett substituent constants (${\delta}_p$). However, dissociation steps of 3OH-BHPT were four and that of 4OH-BHPT was three. The calculated stability constants ($logK_{ML}$) between the ligands and transition metal ions agreed with the order of $log{\beta}_p$ values of the ligands. The order of the stability constants between the transition metal ions with the synthesized ligands was Co(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II) > Zn(II) > Cd(II) > Pb(II). The order agreed well with that of the Iriving-Williams.

The present study tested the effect of Schizandra chinensis lignan compounds, Gomisin A and Schizandrin, on the aggregation and dissociation of beta-amyloid $(A{\beta})_{1-42}$ to explore a possible therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease. Gomisin A significantly inhibited the $A{\beta}_{1-42}$ aggregation in a dose dependent manner, but did not induced the dissociation of aggregated $A{\beta}_{1-42}$. On the other hand, Schizandrin significantly suppressed the aggregation and dissociation of $A{\beta}_{1-42}$. These results suggest that Gomisin A and Schizandrin, which are known as biologically active ingredients from Schizandra chinensis, may be potentially useful target molecules to develop a drug for the prevention or treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

가스 하이드레이트는 고압 및 저온의 조건에서 주체 분자인 물의 수소 결합에 의해 형성된 격자 내로 저분자량의 기체 분자가 포집되어 있는 고체의 함유 화합물이다. 심해저 퇴적층과 영구 동토지역에 매장되어 있는 막대한 양의 천연가스 하이드레이트는 미래 청정 에너지원으로 주목받고 있다. 우리나라의 경우에도 동해안 울릉분지 부근 심해저에 천연가스 하이드레이트의 부존 가능성을 확인하였다. 이러한 심해저 천연가스 하이드레이트의 개발/생산을 위해서는 천연가스 하이드레이트의 상평형, 생성/해리 속도 등의 물리적 특성 뿐만 아니라 해리와 관련된 열물성에 대한 정보가 매우 중요하다. 따라서, 이 논문에서는 고압 마이크로 시차 주사 열량계를 이용하여 천연가스 하이드레이트의 주성분인 메탄, 에탄, 프로판 하이드레이트의 해리 엔탈피를 측정하였다. 메탄 하이드레이트의 경우 92.3 bar의 압력 조건에서 502.1 J/g-water, 437.3 J/g-hydrate, 54.2 kJ/mol-gas의 해리 엔탈피 값을 가졌으며, 해리 온도는 285.66 K이었다. 에탄 하이드레이트의 경우 18.7 bar에서 해리 엔탈피는 534.5 J/g-water, 438.8 J/g-hydrate, 73.8 kJ/mol-gas이었으며, 이때 해리 온도는 283.85 K이었다. 마지막으로 프로판 하이드레이트의 경우 압력이 3.2 bar일 때 해리 엔탈피는 417.2 J/g-water, 363.8 J/g-hydrate, 127.7 kJ/mol-gas 임을 알 수 있었고, 276.30 K에서 해리되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 해당 압력에서 각 기체의 가스 하이드레이트의 해리 엔탈피 측정과정에서 얻은 해리 온도를 문헌상의 가스 하이드레이트 3상(하이드레이트상(H)-물상(Lw)-기상(V)) 평형 데이터와 비교해 보면 거의 유사함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 고압 마이크로 시차 주사 열량계를 이용하여 가스 하이드레이트의 정확한 해리 엔탈피 측정 뿐만 아니라 가스 하이드레이트의 3상 평형도 함께 측정 가능함을 확인하였다.

To investigate morphological changes in the exocrine pancreas of chicken after pancreatic duct ligation, experimental animals were subdivided to control, 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 4 days, 7 days and 10 days groupes and all of three pancreatic ducts of chicken were ligated by surgical procedure and then the morphological changes were observed. In pancreatic ducts, once for a while the ducts were dilated on 12 hours after pancreatic duct ligation and then they were obstructed because of proliferated epithelial cells and connective tissues in pancreatic duct. Marginal dissociation of acini was detected in 12 hours after pancreatic duct ligation and then dissociation of acini was increased with time and finally in 4 days after pancreatic duct ligation the acini showed completely dissociation except periductular regions and around pancreatic islets. Most of dissociated acini cells showed marginal condensation of nuclear chromatin and atropy of cytoplasm, namely, apoptotic features were detected in dissociated acinar cells. Interacinar spaces of dissociated acinar regions were dilated and fulfilled with increased connective tissue and in 4 days after pancreatic duct ligation, deposition of lymphocytes and hemocytes was occurred.

Fragmentation efficiencies of various ‘activated-ion’ electron capture dissociation (AI-ECD) methods are compared for a model system of bovine ubiquitin 7+ cations. In AI-ECD studies, sufficient internal energy was given to protein cations prior to ECD application using IR laser radiation, collisions, blackbody radiation, or in-beam collisions, in turn. The added energy was utilized in increasing the population of the precursor ions with less intra-molecular noncovalent bonds or enhancing thermal fluctuations of the protein cations. Removal of noncovalent bonds resulted in extended structures, which are ECD friendly. Under their best conditions, a variety of activation methods showed a similar effectiveness in ECD fragmentation. In terms of the number of fragmented inter-residue bonds, IR laser/blackbody infrared radiation and ‘in-beam’ activation were almost equally efficient with ~70% sequence coverage, while collisions were less productive. In particular, ‘in-beam’ activation showed an excellent effectiveness in characterizing a pre-fractionated single kind of protein species. However, its inherent procedure did not allow for isolation of the protein cations of interest.

In the present study, we proposed a simple ESI-MS model for determining $Zn^{2+}$ binding (or dissociation) constants for zinc finger peptides (ZFPs) with a unique ${\beta}{\beta}{\alpha}$ fold consensus. The ionization efficiency (response) factors for this model, i.e., ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$, could be determined for ZiCo ZFP with a known $Zn^{2+}$ binding constant. We could determine the binding constants for other ZFPs assuming those with a ${\beta}{\beta}{\alpha}$ consensus conformation have the same ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ response ratio. In general, the ZPF dissociation constants exhibited $K_d$ values of $10^{-7}{\sim}10^{-9}M$, while $K_d$ values for a negative control non-specific $Zn^{2+}$ peptides were high, e.g., $5.5{\times}10^{-6}M$ and $4.3{\times}10^{-4}M$ for BBA1 and melittin, respectively.

This paper is the forth paper of several companion papers which compare the method of Air-Fuel ratio determination. In the previous work, various AFR calculations were performed for various fuels and the results were compared with each other. The comparison, however, were limited to numerical value and estimation of each equation or method was insufficient. In this paper, the overall estimation of the methods was attempted. Also, the method of trouble shooting of instrumentation was presented. Through the estimation of methods, it is concluded that the Eltinge method contains inherently the most perfect thermal dissociation model as far as the exhaust composition is concerned; therefore, this might be regarded as the most general equation of AFR determination among the existing ones. The others might be considered as approximate form. In addition, the mal-distribution factor in Eltinge method is qualitatively equivalent to thermal dissociation chemical equilibrium constant K. Lastly, it is illustrated that all instrumentation error, including the sampling line leakage, can be easily detected through the analyzing the exhaust component on the Eltinge chart.

Photodissociations of o-, m-, and p-iodotoluene radical cations were investigated by using Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) spectrometry. Iodotoluene radical cations were prepared in an ICR cell by a photoionization charge-transfer method. The time-resolved one-photon dissociation spectra were obtained at 532 nm and the identities of $C_7H_7^+$ products were determined by examining their bimolecular reactivities toward toluene-$d_8$. The two-photon dissociation spectra were also recorded in the wavelength range 615-670 nm. The laser power dependence, the temporal variation, and the identities of $C_7H_7^+$ were examined at 640 nm. The mechanism of unimolecular dissociation of iodotoluene radical cations is elucidated: the lowest barrier rearrangement channel leads exclusively to the formation of the benzyl cation, whereas the direct C-I cleavage channel yields the tolyl cations that rearrange to both benzyl and tropylium cations with dissimilar branching ratios among o-, m-, and p-isomers. With a two-photon energy of 3.87 eV at 640 nm, the direct C-I cleavage channel results in the product branching ratio, [tropylium cation]/[benzyl cation], in descending order, 0.16 for meta >0.09 for ortho >0.05 for para.

Escherichia coli transcription termination factor Rho catalyzes the unwinding of RNA/DNA duplex in reactions that are coupled to ATP binding and hydrolysis. Fluorescence stopped-flow methods using ATP and the fluorescent 2'(3')-O-( N-methylanthraniloyl) derivatives (mant-derivatives) of ATP and ADP were used to probe the kinetics of nucleotide binding to and dissociation from the Rho-RNA complex. Presteady state nucleotide binding kinetics provides evidence for the presence of negative cooperativity in nucleotide binding among the multiple nucleotide binding sites on Rho hexamer. The binding of the first nucleotide to the Rho-RNA complex occurs at a bimolecular rate of 3.6${\times}$10$\^$6/ M$\^$-1/ sec$\^$-1/ whereas the second nucleotide binds at a slower rate of 4.7${\times}$10$\^$5/ M$\^$-1/ sec$\^$-1/ at 18$^{\circ}C$, RNA complexed with Rho affects the kinetics of nucleotide interaction with the active sites through conformational changes to the Rho hexamer, allowing the incoming nucleotide to be more accessible to the sites. Adenine nucleotide binding and dissociation is more favorable when RNA is bound to Rho, whereas ATP binding and dissociation step in the absence of RNA occurs significantly slower, at a rate ∼70- and ∼40-fold slower than those observed with the Rho-RNA complex, respectively.
