  • The present investigation was carried out to identify salivary components of mucosal pellicle and to explore the difference of mucosal pellicle components according to the location of oral mucosa. By using antisera and immunoblotting, high-(MG1) and low-(MG2) molecular-mass salivary mucins, amylase, IgA, proline-rich proteins(PRPs) were detected in mucosal pellicle in vivo. In addition, the data indicated that mucins, IgA and proline-rich proteins could be cleaved into lower-molecular-mass products, whereas the IgA, proline-rich proteins could also be cross-linked into higher-molecular-mass complexes. Mucosal pellicles from buccal, labial and palatal mucosa showed similar pattern in immunoblotting experiments using anti-MG2 and anti-PRPs antisera. The data from this study suggest that during mucosal pellicle formation multiple components of saliva adsorb to oral mucosal epithelial cell surfaces, and selected components can be proteolytically cleaved into smaller fragments and/or cross-linked into higher-molecular products.

  • To identify novel components involved in the salt stress signaling pathway of yeast cells, we used mTn3-mediated transposon tagging library and screened mutants displaying enhanced tolerance to NaCl. Southern blot analysis indicated that more than 80% of the sre (salt resistant) mutants possessed only one insertion of the tagged transposon, suggesting that the NaCl resistant phenotype was mediated by a single gene in the majority of the mutants. To define the role of SRE genes in the salt stress signaling pathway, we introduced NaCl stress-inducible ENA1::LacZ construct into the sre mutants and examined the expression of ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity. Interestingly, we could detect high level of ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity without any NaCl treatment in the sre-3, 4, 6 and 7 mutants. These results indicate that SRE-3, 4, and 7 gene are components of salt stress signaling pathway of yeast cells.

  • For the purpose of evaluating protective components against alcohol-induced toxicity, the active components enhancing alcohol metabolism was pursued from water soluble fraction by ethanol precipitation and DEAE-cellulose chromatographic technique. As a result, various high molecular weight fractions from Aloe vera and Aloe arborescens, on a single oral administration in rats were found to cause a significant decrease in the blood ethanol concentration as well as enhancement of liver cytosolic ADH and ALDH activities and among which, a strong acidic high molecular weight fraction was demonstrated to exhibit the most potent enhancing activity on ethanol metabolism.

  • An acinomycin complex isolated from culture broth of a soil microorganism, SNUS 9305-011 has been examined by High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). From the analysis of the fractions obtained by column chromatography of the ethyl acetate extract, three actinomycin components are confimed . The HPLC analysis is carried out with a CN-bonded nucleosil column. Comparison of the retention times of the components with those of actinomycin D, C complex, $X_{o{\beta}$, and V and suggests that they are different actinomycins. FBA mass spectra fo the coponents also shows different molecular ions from those of standards and other reported actionbmycins. The present work has demonstrated that actinomycin components can be separated by a CN-bonded HPLC column, and that ocmparison of their HPLC chormatograms with authentic smaples and information on their molecular ions can be successfully employed for indentification of actionmycins.

  • Retroviral vector provide a highly efficient method for gene transfer into eukaryotic cells. This vector system can be divided into two components; the retroviral vector itself and the retroviral packaging cell line. The key improvement in the design of these two components are, focused on two aspects; the reduction of helper virus production and high titer-virus. We used PA317 for retrovirus packaging cell line, for its high producibility of viral titer. To test the ability of the vectors to generate high titer-virus, we have chosen four different retroviral vectors; LN, LNSX, LNCX and LXSN. To test easily the viral titer, we have made recombinant construction with CD4 and CD8, checked their viral titer and stained their surface expression. LXSN which contain SV40 early promoter in front of neo gene showed best results in viral transient transfection assay, dot blot assay and surface expression. In addition, recombinant containing CD8 generally showed much higher viral titration and surface expression than CD4.

  • This study is to find the effect of the molecular weight distribution of components on the freeness and physical properties of paper by observing the change of properties according the modification of fibers by using production technology and process technology together to develop additives which can effectively control according to the purpose of paper-making process and by combining low molecular weight cellulase (below MW 20,000; CMC activity 400 unit) with different enzyme's molecular weight and activity and high molecular weight cellulase(MW 20,000∼80,000;CMC activity 90,000 unit) and then process them in Sw-BKP(Softwood Bleached Kraft Pulp) and Hw-BKP(Hardwood Bleached Kraft Pulp) and Cotton Linter Pulp and OCC(Old Corrugated Container) with different properties of pore of surface of fibers respectively, since it is judged that making the appropriate composition ratio of components is necessary in consideration of the properties of fibers and paper-making process.

  • Whey protein (WP) is a mixture of proteins, and is of high nutritional values. WP has become an important source of functional ingredients in various health-promoting foods. In this study, size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AsFlFFF) were used for separation and analysis of whey proteins. It was found that a lab-prepared WP from raw milk is mostly of ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin with small amount of higher molecular weight components, while a commercial whey protein isolate (WPI) powder contains relatively larger amount of components other than ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin, including IgG and protein aggregates. Results suggest that AsFlFFF provides higher resolution for the major whey proteins than SEC in their normal operation conditions. AsFlFFF could differentiate the BSA and Albumin, despite a small difference in their molecular weights, and also was able to separate much smaller amount of aggregates from monomers. It is noted that SEC was able to show the presence of low molecular weight components other than the major whey proteins in the WP samples, which AsFlFFF could not show, probably due to the partial loss of those low molecular weight species through the membrane.

  • The thermal degradation characteristics of high molecular components obtained from pyrolysis of mixed waste plastics have been studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and gas chromatography spectrometry (GC-MS). The kinetics of thermal degradation has been studied by a conventional nonisothermal thermogravimetric technique at several heating rates between 10 and $50^{\circ}C/min$. The dynamic thermogravimetric analysis curve and its derivative have been analyzed using a variety of analytical methods reported in the literature to obtain information on the kinetic parameters such as activation energies and reaction orders. The yields of liquid products have been monitored by batch pyrolysis reactor under various reaction temperatures and reaction times. And the characteristic of liquid products with the increase in reaction temperature has been performed by GC-MS.

  • Using IPHAS $H{\alpha}$ data, we found bright $H{\alpha}$ regions inside the elongated $^{13}CO$ cavity around a Herbig star, MWC 1080. To investigate the ionized hydrogen regions and the molecular cavity, we perform near-IR high-resolution spectroscopic of hydrogen Brackett lines and molecular hydrogen lines by Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrograph (IGRINS) observations. We detected broad Brackett line series and sharp molecular lines with various velocity components. We present three ionized hydrogen regions (near MWC 1080A, MWC 1080E, and CO boundary) with different line widths, central radial velocities, and line ratios. We also show two spatially-separate $Br{\gamma}$ ${\lambda}2.1662{\mu}m$ peaks near MWC 1080A. To reveal a 3D structure of the cavity around MWC 1080, we try to use the detected sharp molecular lines.
