Coupled transcription/translation cocktail을 이용하여 R. glutinis EH 유전자를 in vitro에서 합성하고 활성을 평가하였다. SDS-PAGE 및 immunoblotting을 통하여 45 kDa 크기의 EH 단백질이 발현되었음을 확인하였고, NBP assay 및 chiral GC 분석을 통해 발현된 단백질이 (R)-styrene oxide에 대한 입체선택성이 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 무세포 단백질 합성 시스템을 이용하여 입체선택성을 유지시킨 EH 유전자 발현이 가능하며, 이러한 방법은 putative EH 유전자 탐색 등에 효율적으로 응용될 것이다.

방향족 에폭사이드 기질에 대한 입체선택적 가수분해 활성이 우수한 Aspergillus niger LK를 이용하여 광학활성 (S)-para-nitrostyrene oxide를 제조하였다. 수용액에서 기질 의 낮은 용해도를 극복하기 위하여 유기용매에서 광학분할 반응을 수행하였으며, 생촉매 활성 저하가 가장 적은 dodecane을 유기용매로 선정하였다. 반응온도 3$0^{\circ}C$ 및 최적 water content 2% (v/v)의 조건에서 약 10시간 정도의 반응을 통해 ee 값이 100 %인 광학적으로 순수한 (S)-para-nitrostyrene oxide를 37% 정도(이론수율 : 50 %)의 높은 수율로 얻을 수 있었다.

Aspergillus niger #33로부터 RT-PCR 및 PCR방법을 이용하여 epoxide hydrolase (EH)유전자를 클로닝 하고 염기서 열을 분석한 결과 A. niger LCP521 유래의 EB와 85%수준의 유사성을 가지고 있었다. 클로닝된 EH 유전자를 Sacrharomyces cerevisiae에 형질전환 시킨 후 galactose를 inducer로 사용하여 발현시켰다. 유전자 재조합 S. cerevisiae는 라세믹 phenyl oxirane 기질에 대하여 입체선택적 가수분해능이 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이러한 유전자 재조합 EH는 광학활성 에폭사이드 제조를 위한 생촉매로 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

Incubation of aflatoxin $B_1$ $(AFB_1)$ with microsomes isolated from human liver number 110 yielded two metabolite peaks which were aflatoxin $Q_1$ $(AFQ_1)$ and $(AFB_1)$-exo-8, 9-epoxide (exo-epoxide) in high performance liquid chromatography. Production ratio of $AFQ_1$ to exo-epoxide was 2.43$\pm $0.04. Metabolism of $(AFB_1)$ to $(AFQ_1)$ and exo-epoxide was inhibited by troleandomycin in a same degree although troleandomycin was not activated as a mechanism-based inhibitor. The inhibitory effect was dependent upon either the incubation time with $(AFB_1)$ or the preincubation time before the addition of $(AFB_1)$. Incubation of troleandomycin and NADPH by the microsomes resulted in the formation of a cytochrome P 450 (P450)-metabollc intermediate (MI) complex and the level was approximately 80% of total P450 3A4 in the microsomes. This figure was similar to that of the inhibitory effect of troleandomycin on $AFB_1$ metabolism. Glutathione which was reported that it prevented the formation of MI complex in rat liver microsomes did not inhibit the formation of MI complex in human liver microsomes. These results suggested that the inhibitory effect of troleandomycin on $AFB_1$ metabolism is due to the formation of MI complex with P450 3A4. And the reaction mechanism of troleandomycin by human liver microsomes might be dlfferent from that one by rat liver microsomes.

Objective : To investigate the hepatoprotective effects of Gami-oryungsan on the liver damage induced by bromobenzene. Method : The development of fibrosis and acute liver injury was examined by the chemical analysis of AST, AL T, ${\gamma}$-GTP . and epoxide hydrolase glutathione S-transferase glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity, lipidoperoxide levels, glutathione levels were measured and oberved. Results : The increasing levels of lipidoperoxide was decreased proportionally according to dose of extract GO. Epoxide hydrolase glutathioneS-transferase glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity highly increased in GO pre-acupunctured group compared with the group treated with only bromobenzene. The increase of serum AST, AL T, ${\gamma}$-GTP enzyme activity of mice by bromobenzene was inhibited by the administration of GO. Lipidoperoxide levels in rat's liver decreased compared to the case of bromobenzene-treated group. The levels of Glutathione decreased by bromo benzene were increased highly in GO pre-acupunctured group. Conclusion : These results suggest that GO extract recovers the damage of liver due to bromobenzene intoxication by decreasing the lipid peroxidation AST AL T ${\gamma}$-GTP enzyme activity and increasing epoxide hydrolase glutathioneS-transferase glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity, glutathione levels.

총 carotenoid 함량을 ${\beta}-carotene$ 상당의 mg%로 산출하였을 때 감귤 14종의 과육과 과피의 함량은 각각 $0.23{\sim}3.38\;mg%$, $0.82{\sim}10.64\;mg%$이었고 평균치는 과육과 과피에서 각각 1.5 mg%, 7 mg%이었다. HPLC에서 14종의 peak를 분리하였으며 이들 peak중 lutein, lycopene, ${\alpha}-carotene$, ${\beta}-carotene$은 표준품과 직접 비교 확인하였고, neoxanthin, violaxanthin, antheraxanthin, lutein-5,6-epoxide, isolutein, cryptox-diepoxide, cryptox-5,6-epoxide and ${\beta}-cryptoxanthin$ 등은 다른 문헌상의 $t_R$과 비교 추정하였다. 개별 carotenoid 함량비를 HPLC chromatogram의 peak 면적%로 비교하였던 바, 품종간의 차이는 뚜렷하지 않았다.

We investigated the adsorption of Na on graphene and graphene oxide, which are used as anode materials in sodium ion batteries, using density functional theory. The adsorption energy for Na on graphene was -0.507 eV at the hollow sites, implying that adsorption was favorable. In the case of graphene oxide, Na atoms were separately adsorbed on the epoxide and hydroxyl functional groups. The adsorption of Na on graphene oxide-epoxide (adsorption energy of -1.024 eV) was found to be stronger than the adsorption of Na on pristine graphene. However, the adsorption of Na on graphene oxide-hydroxyl resulted in the generation of NaOH as a by-product. Using density of states (DOS) calculations, we found that the DOS of the Na-adsorbed graphene was shifted down more than that of the Na-adsorbed graphene oxide-epoxide. In addition, the intensity of the DOS around the Fermi level for the Na-adsorbed graphene was higher than that for the Na-adsorbed graphene oxide-epoxide.

Objectives: This study was performed to investigate if organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were associated with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance among non-diabetes. Methods: Among subjects who participated in a community-based health survey, 50 non-diabetic subjects with metabolic syndrome and 50 normal controls were selected. Insulin resistance was measured by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR). Eight OCPs were selected. Results: After adjusting for confounders except for body mass index (BMI), beta-hexachlorocyclohexane ($\beta$-HCH) and heptachlor epoxide were positively associated with metabolic syndrome. Odds ratios across tertiles of $\beta$-HCH and heptachlor epoxide were 1.0, 3.2 and 4.4, and 1.0, 4.0 and 6.0, respectively (p for trend = 0.01 and <0.01). After additional adjustment for body mass index (BMI), heptachlor epoxide still showed an increasing trend with adjusted odds ratios of 1.0, 4.1, and 4.6 (p for trend = 0.10). When the five components of metabolic syndrome (with the definition of high fasting glucose ($\geq$ 100 mg/dL) were separately analyzed, all components were positively, but not significantly, associated with heptachlor epoxide. As the serum concentration of heptachlor epoxide increased, HOMA-IR increased significantly in subjects with metabolic syndrome even after adjusting for BMI (p value <0.05 and <0.01). Conclusions: Despite the small sample size, this study suggests that the background exposure to some OCPs may be associated with metabolic syndrome.
