A haemagglutinating protein from the saline extracts of Kalanchoe crenata leaves, which agglutinate all human blood types, was purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Cellulose column followed by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-100 column. The purified protein showed one band, both in non-denaturing PAGE and SDS-PAGE. The $M_r$ that was determined by SDS-PAGE was 44,000 Da and that estimated from gel filtration was 47,000. Treatment of the haemagglutinating protein with 5 mM EDTA diminished the haemagglutinating activity to 50% of the original level. The addition of divalent cations, 10 mM $Mg^{2+}$, 10 mM $Mn^{2+}$, or 10 mM $Ba^{2+}$, totally restored and enhanced the activity. The protein showed maximum activity over the 3-7 pH range and was heat-resistant. It was also a glycoprotein containing about 1.5% carbohydrate.

We report the electronic structure of CoFeO-R (R=Hf, La, Nb) thin films studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). These ferrites thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition method and characterized by XAS measurements at O K-, Co and Fe L-edges. The O K-edge spectra suggest that there is a strong hybridization between O 2p and 3d electrons of transition metal cations and Fe $L_{3,2}$-edge spectra indicate that Fe-ions exist in $Fe^{2+}$ with tetrahedral site of the spinel structure. Divalent Co ions is also distributed in tetrahedral site with rare earth ions goes to octahedral sites of spinel structure. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) is also used to explain the symmetry and magnetic nature dependence on rare-earth ions.

소듐에 의한 칼슘의 유리는 verapamil, TTX, TEA의 영향을 받지 않았다. $100\;{\mu}M\;Cd6{++}$과 $Zn^{++}$은 소듐에 의한 칼슘 유출을 유의하게 억제하였다. $Cd^{++}$은 $Ki\;100\;{\mu}M\;Cd6{++}$로써 비상경적으로 소듐-칼슘 교환이동을 억제하였다. $Cd^{++}$은 SH기의 산화를 초래하였으나, $Zn^{++}$은 거의 영향을 나타내지 않았다. $Cd^{++}$과 $Zn^{++}$은 $Na^+-Ca^{++}$ ATPase를 효과적으로 억제하였으나 $Ca^{++}-Mg^{++}$ ATPase를 약간 억제시켰다. Carbonyl cyanide chlorophenylhydrazone, 2,4-dinitrophenol과 sodium arsenate는 소듐에 의한 칼슘 유리를 촉진하였다. Dibucaine과 oligomycin은 소듐에 의한 칼슘의 유리를 약간 억제하였으나, 이에 반하여 ouabain은 약간 촉진하였다. 이상의 실험 결과로부터 신경 세포막에서의 소듐-칼슘 교환은 이온 통로를 통하여 이루어지지 않을 것으로 시사되었다. 소듐-칼슘 교환이동은 $Cd^{++}$에 민감하게 억제되고 이 이동기전에 synaptosome막의 SH기가 관여할 것으로 사료되었다. 또한 소듐-칼슘 교환은 세포막 단백질 성분의 인산화 반응 동안에 억압될 것으로 추정되었다.

본 연구는 상토의 보수성 증가를 위하여 혼합되는 acrylamide 계통 고흡수성 수지인 Stocksorb C(STSB)의 수분 흡수 특성, 수분 흡수에 영향을 미치는 각종 무기염의 종류 및 농도, STSB가 침지된 외부용액속의 무기염 농도 변화를 구명하고자 수행하였다. STSB의 수분 흡수량은 증류수에 침지한 경우 약 180 $mL{\cdot}g^{-1}$였다. 1가의 양이온을 포함한 염인 $KH_2PO_4,\;KNO_3$ 또는 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$를 용해시킨 용액의 농도가 높아질수록 흡수량이 저하되었으나 세 종류 양이온의 종류에 따른 차이는 크지 않았다. $Ca(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ 다양한 농도로 용해시킨 용액 속에 STSB를 침지시킨 경우 수분흡수능 저하가 심하여 20 $meq{\cdot}L^{-1}Ca(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ 용액에서 약 25 $mL{\cdot}g^{-1}$ 수분을 흡수하였다. $Mg(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$나 $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$를 용해시킨 용액의 농도가 높아질수록 수분 흡수량이 심하게 저하하였고, 1가의 양이온이 포함된 염을 용해시킨 용액에서보다 그 정도가 심하였다. 그러나 요소의 농도를 증가시킨 용액에서의 수분 흡수량은 저하되지 않았다. 침지전 Hoagland용액의 농도가 높거나, 침지시간이 길어질수록 STSB를 침지시킨 용액에서의 $K^+$및 $NH_4^+-N$의 농도가 점차 높아졌다. Hoagland 용액의 희석배수와 무관하게 침지시간이 길어질수록 외부용액의 $NO_3^--N,\;H_2PO_4^-$ 및 $SO_4^{-2}$ 농도가 약간 상승하였고, 24시간 경과 후 각각 5,300, 250 및 1,500 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 농도로 분석되었다.

This study explored a direct SET-photochemical strategy to construct a new family of thioene conjugated-naphthalamide fluorophore based lariat-crown ethers which show strong binding properties towards heavy metal ions. Irradiations of designed nitrogen branched (trimethylsilyl)methylthio-terminated polyethylenoxy-tethered naphthalimides in acidic methanol solutions have led to highly efficient photocyclization reactions to generate naphthalamide based lariat type thiadiazacrown ethers directly in chemo- and regio-selective manners which undergo very facile secondary dehydration reactions during separation processes to produce their corresponding amidoenethio ether cyclic products tethered with electron donating diethyleneoxy- and diethyenethio-side arm chains. Fluorescence and metal cation binding properties of the lariat type enamidothio products were examined. The photocyclized amidoenethio products, thioene conjugated naphthalamide fluorophore containing lariat-thiadiazacrowns exhibited strong fluorescence emissions in region of 330-450 nm along with intramolecular exciplex emissions in region of 450-560 nm with their maxima at 508 nm. Divalent cation $Hg^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ showed strong binding to sulfur atom(s) in side arm chain and atoms in enethiadiazacrown ether rings which led to significant enhancement of fluorescence from its chromophore singlet excited state and concomitant quenching of exciplex emission. The dual fluorescence emission responses towards divalent cations might provide a new guide for design and development of fluorescence sensors for detecting those metals.

The gene encoding Pyrobaculum arsenaticum DNA polymerase (Par DNA polymerase) was cloned and sequenced. The gene consists of 2,361 bp coding for a protein with 786 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence of Par DNA polymerase showed a high similarity to archaeal family B-type DNA polymerases (Group I), and contained all of the motifs conserved in the family B-type DNA polymerases for $3'{\rightarrow}5'$ exonuclease and polymerase activities. The Par DNA polymerase gene was expressed under the control of the T7lac promoter on the expression vector pET-22b(+) in Escherichia coli BL21-CodonPlus(DE3)-RP. The expressed enzyme was purified by heat treatment, and Cibacron blue 3GA and $Hirap^{TM}$ Heparin HP column chromatographies. The optimum pH of the purified enzyme was 7.5. The enzyme activity was activated by divalent cations, and was inhibited by EDTA and monovalent cations. The half-life of the enzyme at $95^{\circ}C$ was 6 h. Par DNA polymerase possessed associated $3'{\rightarrow}5'$ proofreading exonuclease activity, which is consistent with its deduced amino acid sequence. PCR experiment with Par DNA polymerase showed an amplified product, indicating that this enzyme might be useful in DNA amplification and PCR-based applications.

호염성세균인 Kordia algicida gen. nov,, sp. nov.은 규조류인 Skeletonema costatum에 의한 적조발생동안 마산만의 표층수로부터 분리되었다. 본 균주는 숙성해수가 공급된 ZoBell 2216e 배지에서 성장이 가능하나 $3\%$ NaCl만이 공급된 동 배지에서는 성장하지 않았다. 13종의 주된 재수성분을 대상으로 한 염류 요구성 조사에서 $Na^+,\;Mg^{2+}$ 및 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온이 제한된 배지에서는 성장을 하지 않아, 성장을 위해 필수적으로 3조의 이온을 요구하였다. 3종의 이온을 대상으로 한 Kinetic 조사에서 $Na^+,\;Ca^{2+}$ 및 $Mg^{2+}$ 의 Km 간은 각각 0.202 M, 0.089 mM, and 0.189 mM로 결정되었으며 $V_{max}({\mu}max)$는 또한 0.442h, 0.411h 및 0.316h로 결정되었다. 현미경적 관찰에서 K. algicida는 각 이온들을 제한하였을 때 $2\~8$시간에 내에 빠른 사멸을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로 Kordia algicida는 해양으로부터 유래된 전형적인 호염성세균임을 알 수 있었으며 해양유래 미생물의 분리 시 각별한 주의가 요구됨을 시사한다.

The polysaccharide produced by pseudomonas elodea, Gellan gum, was rheologically characterized, compared with agar. Rheological properties were determined from the change in the value of intrinsic viscosity with the pH and salt concentration. At the range of pH 2∼ll and salt 0∼0.16M KC1, the intrinsic viscosity of Gellan gum ranged from 8.8 to 21.2dl/g and agar ranged from 1.97 to 11.46d1/g. In the absence of salt, the intrinsic viscosity of Gellan gum increased as the pH of solution increased up to neutral pH then decreased slightly at alkaline pH, whearas the intrinsic viscosity of agar increased as the pH of solution increased up to pH 9 then decreased slightly. Intrinsic viscosity of Gellan gum and agar decreased with an increase in salt concentration. The chain stiffness parameter for the Gellan gum was 0.033. The overlap parameter of Gellan gum and agar were 0.047g/dl and 0.087g/dl, respectively. Gellan gum and agar were shear rate dependent or pseudoplastic. The yield stress and proportionality constant of Gellan gum increased slightly as the concentration increase, on the other hand, the shear index of Gellan gum showed a maximum at 0.75g/dl and gradually decreased as the concentration increase. The apparent viscosity of Gellan gum and agar decreased as the temperature increase. A lower concentration of the divalent cations calcium and magnesium is required to obtain maximum gel strength than for the monovalent cations sodium and potassium.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small but effective cationic peptides with variable length. In previous study, four hexapeptides were identified that showed antimicrobial activities against various phytopathogenic bacteria. KCM21, the most effective antimicrobial peptide, was selected for further analysis to understand its modes of action by monitoring inhibitory effects of various cations, time-dependent antimicrobial kinetics, and observing cell disruption by electron microscopy. The effects of KCM21 on Gram-negative strain, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 and Gram-positive strain, Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis were compared. Treatment with divalent cations such as $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ inhibited the bactericidal activities of KCM21 significantly against P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000. The bactericidal kinetic study showed that KCM21 killed both bacteria rapidly and the process was faster against C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis. The electron microscopic analysis revealed that KCM21 induced the formation of micelles and blebs on the surface of P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000 cells, while it caused cell rupture against C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis cells. The outer membrane alteration and higher sensitivity to $Ca^{2+}$ suggest that KCM21 interact with the outer membrane of P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000 cells during the process of killing, but not with C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis cells that lack outer membrane. Considering that both strains had similar sensitivity to KCM21 in LB medium, outer membrane could not be the main target of KCM21, instead common compartments such as cytoplasmic membrane or internal macromolecules might be a possible target(s) of KCM21.

Rhamsan gum produced by Alcaligenes was rheologically characterized, and compared to that of xanthan gum. The rheological properties were derermined from the change in the value of intrinsic viscosity with pH and salt concentration. at the range of pH 2~11 and salt concentration of 0~1.0 M KCl, the intrinsic viscosties of rhanisan gum were in the range of 8.2 to 36.2 dl/g and those of xanthan gum 8.19 to 44 dl/g. In the absence of salt, the intrinsic viscosity of rhamsan gum and Xanthan gum increased as the pH of solution increased up to neutral pH, and then decreased at alkaline pH. The intrinisc viscosities of rhamsan and anthan gum were not affec6ted by the increment of salt concentration. the chain stiffness paramenter for the rhamsan gum was 0.016. The overlap paramoeters of rhamsan and xanthan gum were 0.025 and 0.022 g/dl, respectively. rhamsan and xanthan gum were shear rate dependent or pseudoplastic. The yield stress of rhamsan gum increased slightly, but the shear index decreased as the concentration increased. The apparent viscosityes of rhamsan and xanthan gum decreased as the temperature increased. The salt effect of divalent cations (calcium, magnesium) was lower than monovalent cations (sodium, potassium).
