Lichen-forming fungal proteins have been seldom searched due to many difficulties in their extraction. Phenols, quinones, proteases, and other components released during cell disruption have been known to be the greatest challenges related to protein extraction from lichens. To overcome these problems and maintain good electrophoretic resolution and high protein concentration, an extraction buffer containing polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, ascorbic acid, Triton X-100, polyethylene glycol, proteinase, and oxidase inhibitors in sodium phosphate buffer was developed. This extraction buffer showed high efficiency for all lichen species tested in the study.

Tip-type carbon nanotube(CNT) based electron emitters were fabricated by forming a hafnium(Hf) interlayer between the CNT and the substrate. The CNTs were deposited by using the electrophoretic deposition method and thermally treated. No significant change in the microscopic structure of the CNTs, such as the ratio of length to diameter, was observed after the deposition of Hf interlayer and thermal treatment. As compared with the CNT emitter without the Hf-interlayer and thermal treatment, the CNT emitter with the Hf-interlayer and thermal treatment showed noticeably improved electron-emission properties due to the enhanced adhesion.

A method based on RNA-transcript conformation polymorphism (TCP) was tested for detection of two PVY isolates in a mixed infection. Differences in electrophoretic mobility of RNA transcripts copied from PCR products of each virus isolate enabled the distinction between the two virus isolates in a mixed infection. The identities of the RNA transcripts and hence of the infecting virus isolates were determined by annealing to reference oligonucleotides containing unique strain-specific sequences visualized by retardation of transcript mobility in gel. The ratio at which both virus isolates could be detected was as low as 1:10. The suitability of this procedure for the study of mixed virus infections is discussed.

Bacteriocin J105 is a proteinaceous inhibitory substance produced by Latococcus latis subsp. lactis j105 isolated from Kimchi. Bacteriocin J105 was purified to homogeneity by the pH-dependent adsorption-desorption method and reverse-phase HPLC from the culture broth of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis J105. Purification of bacteriocin J105 resulted in a 1.47-fold increase in the specific activity and the recovery was 1.5%. Its molecular mass measured by the electrophoretic pattern in the sodium, dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel was about 3.4 kDa. It was stable at $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min at pH between 2 and 4. However, at pH above 5, bacteriocin was rapidly inactivated. Twenty-one residues from the N-terminal portion of bacteriocin J105 were sequenced using sequence analysis of lantibiotics. Bacteriocin J105 showed significant homology with known nisin A from lactic acid bacteria.

The plasma proteins of fresh water fishes have been fractionated by disc electrophoresis in acrylamide gels utilized as an electrophoretic supporting medium. The species of fishes examined in this experiment were Anguilla japonica, Misgurnus mizolepis, Parasilurus asotus, Siniperca scherzeri, Pelteobagrus fulvidra, Carassius carassius, Cyprinus carpio, and Hemibarbus labeo, obtained in the Han River. Disc electrophoresis was performed as described by Ornstein and Davis. Gels and buffer solution were prepared by the method developed by W.J.Kim. The separation gels were 7% acrylamide gel. The fractionation of plasma proteins showed 13 bands in Anguilla japonica, 10 in Misgurnus mizolepis, 15 in Parasilurus asotus, 12 in Siniperca scherzeri, 11 in Pelteobagrus fulvidra, 13 in Carassius carassius, 9 in Cyprinus carpio, and 13 in Hemibarbus labeo. The patterns of plasma protein on the each species of fishes were different in the number of bands, ratio of contents, relative mobilities, and forms of fractionation.

End-Labeled Free-Solution Electrophoresis (ELFSE) is a new technique that is a promising bioconjugate method for DNA sequencing (or separation) and genotyping by both capillary and microfluidic device electrophoresis. Because ELFSE enables high-resolution electrophoretic separation in aqueous buffer alone (i.e., without a polymer matrix), it eliminates the need to load viscous polymer networks into electrophoresis microchannels. To achieve microchannel DNA separations with high performance, ELFSE requires monodisperse perturbing entities (i.e., drag-tags), which create a large amount of frictional drag when pulled behind DNA during free-solution electrophoresis, and which have other properties suitable for microchannel electrophoresis. In this article, the theoretical concepts of ELFSE and the required characteristics of the drag-tag molecules for the ultimate performance of ELFSE are reviewed. Additionally, the merits and limitations of current drag-tags are also discussed in the context of recent experimental data of ELFSE separation (or sequencing).

This study demonstrates hybrid-type transparent electrodes for touch screen panels. The hybrid-type electrodes were fabricated by coating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on metal meshes. For the formation of metal meshes, thin films of silver (Ag) were deposited on glass substrates using a sputtering method and then pattenrned via photolithography to obtain mesh structures of which line width was $10{\mu}m$ and line-to-line spacing was $300{\mu}m$. CNTs were coated on Ag meshes by using electrophoretic deposition (EPD). For the samples of Ag meshes with/without CNTs, their surface morphologies, visible-range transmittances, and reflectances were characterized and compared. The experimental results indicated that the reflectance of Ag mesh electrodes was substantially reduced by coating of CNTs. Especially, the hybrid electrodes of Ag meshes with EPD-coated CNTs showed excellent properties such as transmittance higher than 90%, reflectance lower than 8%.

J-chain was purified from human serum IgA by three different methods which involve preparative disc electrophoresis, ion exchange chromatography and water precipitation. It was found that the simplest and satisfactory method was precipitation in water. All the J-chain preparations obtained from the above different procedures showed similar electrophoretic mobility and band-patterns.

The properties of YBCO thick film coated on Ag wire with YBCO powder is deeply affected by cracking on its surface which was deposited in organic solution by electrophoretic method. YBCO superconducting thick films were prepared on Ag wire$({\Psi}0.8mm)$ by electrophoresis in acetone with added PEG (Poly-Ethylene Glycol, 3% in Acetone), 1ml for being crack-free. The surface properties of YBCO superconducting wire was evidently improved with adding PEG. Added PEG which molecular weight is 600, 1000, 3400 was affected with variation of deposition voltages to the surface properties of samples. As a result, with adding PEG (its molecular weight is 3400), YBCO superconducting wire was better on its surface properties.
