Proteolytic activity of live Uronema manum was analyzed by fluorescence polarization (FP) technique. Protease activity was measured by a decrease in FP value using fluorescein isothiocynate (FITC)-casein as a protein substrate. The results demonstrated an inverse linear relationship between fluorescence polarization (FP) values and live ciliate concentration over the range $1\times10^4\;to\;2\times10^5$ cells/well. However, the FP values of $10-10^3$ live parasites were not different significantly from that of control. Time-dependent decrease in FP value was shown in the wells containing live U. marinum. In the present study, FP assay had the benefit to provide measurements of substrate hydrolysis by live parasites in real-time, and did not require separations, precipitations, or transfers of reaction mixture.

A phosphate-specific and fluorescent probe was prepared for label-free phosphatase assays based on fluorescence polarization. By using the probe, dephosphorylation reactions of DNA and protein substrates by calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase (CIP) could effectively be monitored in real-time. Since this assay method does not require additional materials such as labeled substrates and phosphospecific antibodies to obtain fluorescence polarization signals, it is simple, cost-effective, and expected to be useful not only for measuring activity of phosphatases but also for high-throughput screening of phosphatase inhibitors.

A time-correlated single photon counting system combined with a mode locked $Ar^+$ laser has been utilized to measure the fluorescence decay. A side-on type photomultiplier tube has been used as a photon detector. By restricting the sensitive area and the position of the photocathode, the transit time differencies of photoelectrons in PMT has been reduced. The fluorescence life time of rhodamin 6G in ethylene glycol measured 3.9$\pm$10 ns.

A new spectroscopic method for pesticide residues detection on agricultural products was developed. The general determination methods are high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC) or GC-mass spectrometry. They have provided relatively good detection limit and accuracy with complicated and time-consuming (5hrs above) procedures. In addition freshness is very important for evaluating qualities of agricultural products. This requires a simple and fast method for detection of pesticides. Reflectance, transmittance and fluorescence spectrometry of pesticides were tested using UV range because most of pesticides contain conjugation band in the molecular structures. Fluorescence spectrometry showed better sensitive to detect pesticide residues than did reflectance and transmittance spectrometry. Intensity and shape of fluorescence spectra showed different patterns with different structures of pesticides. Detection limit for fluorescence spectrometry was 0.1 ppm to 10 ppm depending on the structures of pesticides. Application of fluorescence spectrometry appears to be an easy method for detection of pesticide residues on agricultural products.

In this study, fluorescence hyperspectral imaging (FHSI) was used for the rapid, non-destructive detection of fake, manmade eggs from real eggs. To identify fake eggs, protoporphyrin IX (PpIX)-a natural pigment present in real eggshells-was utilized as the main indicator due to its strong fluorescence emission effect. The fluorescence images of real and fake eggs were acquired using a line-scan-based FHSI system, and their fluorescence features were analyzed based on spectroscopic techniques. To improve the detection performance and accuracy, an optimal waveband combination was investigated with analysis of variance (ANOVA), and its fluorescence ratio images (588/645 nm) were created for visualization of the real eggs between two different egg groups. In addition, real and fake eggs were scanned using a one-waveband (645 nm) handheld fluorescence imager that can perform real-time scanning for on-site applications. Then, the results of the two methods were compared with one another. The outcome clearly shows that the newly developed FHSI system and the fluorescence handheld imager were both able to distinguish real eggs from fake eggs. Consequently, FHSI showed a better performance (clearer images) compared to the fluorescence handheld imager, and the outcome provided valuable information about the feasibility of using FHSI imaging with ANOVA for the discrimination of real and fake eggs.

The spectroscopic behavior of catechin (5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavan-3-ol), has been studied in the presence and the absence of air using UV-vis absorption spectrophotometry and fluorescence spectroscopy. The UV-vis absorption spectrum of catechin shows a very sharp and strong absorption maximum peak at 275 nm in deaerated water. New absorption maximum peaks appeared in aerated water, as well as in basic aqueous solution, caused by the oxidation of catechin. The absorbances in the UV-vis absorption spectrum of catechin decreased when the solution was left in the dark for a long time. The fluorescence emission spectrum of catechin after a long time period differs markedly from that in freshly prepared solution; the fluorescence maxia shifted as time passes after adding catechin to the solutions. When the deaerated basic catechin solutions were left in the dark for a long time, their fluorescence quantum yields were found to be nearly zero. This suggests that the oxidized catechin molecules were seen to have slowly undergone successive chemical reactions in basic buffer solution.

Coumarine이 부착된 인산결합 단백질 (PBP-MDCC)의 형광변화가 뉴클레오사이드 삼인산 가수분해과정에서 배출된 무기 인산의 양을 측정하기 위해 관찰되었다. PBP-MDCC 정제후, 형광 방출 스펙트럼은 형광세기가 PBP-MDCC의 몰비을로 약 $70\%$까지 직선형태로 증가하는 것을 보였다. 형광 신호와 인산 기준물질과의 상호관계 측정이 인산 농도-형광세기 표준곡선을 구하기 위하여 stopped-flow 기구에서 행하여졌다. dTTP 가수분해로 부터 나오는 에너지를 이용하여 이중나선 DNA를 풀어주는 단백질인 T7박테리오파지 나선효소를 dPTT라 반응 시켰을 때, 형광변화를 배출된 인산의 양으로 전환할 수 있었다. 인산 배출 결과는 단일가닥 Ml3 DNA가 T7나선 효소에 의한 dTTP가수분해반응을 여러배 증가시키는 것을 보인다. 뉴클레오타이드 삼인산 가수분해 반응에 있어서 종말점 분석 대신에, PBP-MDCC에 의한 연속적인 인산 배출 분석이 배출된 인산을 측정하는데 있어서 쉽고 편리한 방법임을 보였다.

Proton transfer reaction is one of the most fundamental processes in chemistry and life science. Excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) has been studied as a model system of the proton transfer, since it can be conveniently initiated by light. We report ESIPT reaction dynamic of 1-hydroxy-anthraquione (1-HAQ) in solution by highly time-resolved fluorescence. ESIPT time of 1-HAQ is determined to be $45{\pm}10$ fs directly from decay of the reactant fluorescence and rise of the product fluorescence. High time resolution allows observation of the coherent vibrational wave packet motion in the excited state of the reaction product tautomer. The coherently excited vibrational mode involves large displacement of the atoms, which shortens the distance between the proton donor and the acceptor. With the theoretical analysis, we propose that the ESIPT of 1-HAQ proceeds barrierlessly with assistance of the skeletal vibration, which in turn becomes excited coherently by the ESIPT reaction.

이 논문은 napthalimidopropylacrylate(NIPA)와 glycidylmethacrylate(GMA) 공중합체의 합성과 물성에 관한 연구로서 공중합체의 조성, 단량체 반응성비, 공명효과(Q)와 극성효과(e), 나프탈렌발색단을 가진 물질의 형광특성 등을 조사하였다. Azobisisobutyronitronitryl(AIBN) 개시제와 dimethylformamide(DMF) 용매를 $60^{\circ}C$에서 공중합하였다. 단량체의 반응성비는 Fineman-Ross(F-R), Kelen-$T{\ddot{u}}d{\ddot{o}}s$(K-T) 법으로 단량체 반응성비를 구한바, $r_1$은 $r_2$보다 크게 나타났다. NIPA이 GMA보다 공중합의 형성이 더 많음을 알 수 있다. 단량체 반응성비의 곱($r_1{\cdot}r_2$)이 1보다 적어서 불규칙한 교대공중합체가 형성되었고 다른 단량체끼리 결합하게 된 교호공중합체를 형성된 것으로 간주된다. 380 nm에서 약한 분자 형광띠와 460 nm에서 강한 중합체 엑시머 형광띠가 나타났다. NIPA 단량체의 형광수명은 실온에서 UV 355 nm 파장에서 형광붕괴커브를 나타냈으며 $5.1449{\times}10^{-7}s$로 나타났다. GMA 공단량체를 아크릴계에 공중합시켜 우수한 내열성 열경화성 접착제나 코팅제에 응용될 것으로 사료된다.

이 연구의 목적은 물-오일 계면에서 특이적인 lipase 활성을 측정할 수 있는 high-throughput assay 방법을 확립하는 것이다. 이 방법은 pH에 따라 형광의 세기가 변하는 fluorescein의 특성을 이용하여 lipase의 작용으로 방출되는 지방산으로 인한 pH 변화를 fluorescein의 형광 변화로 측정하도록 되어 있다. 활성의 측정은 오일 에멀션과 fluorescein 그리고 효소를 포함하는 반응 용액을 반응시키면서 일정한 간격으로 형광을 측정함으로써 이루어진다. 이 방법을 통해 형광의 세기가 효소의 양에 비례하는 속도로 감소하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며 시간에 따른 형광 변화 그래프로부터 계산한 반응 속도가 효소의 양에 선형으로 비례한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또 한 가지 중요한 사실은 assay를 하는데 있어서 pH 6.0-8.0의 범위에서 다른 pH 조건을 사용할 수 있었다는 점이다.
