Bioactive titanium metal can be prepared by simple 5M-NaOH treatment and subsuquent heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ to form an amorphous sodium titanate on its surface. In the present study, mechanism of apatite formation on the titanium metal was investigated by examining its surface compositional and structural changes in a simulated body fluid. The apatite formation on the metal was found to proceed in the sequence of 1)$Na^+$ ion release from the sodium titanate to form hydrated titania abundant in Ti-OH groups, 2) early and selective binding of calcium ions with the Ti-OH groups to form a calcium titanate, and 3) late binding of phosphate ions to make apatite nucleation and growth. This indicates that Ti-OH groups do not directly induce the apatite nucleation, but via formation of a calcium titanate.

Novel new red-light emitting perylene fluoroionophore N,N'-dipropyl-1,7-bis(calix[4]azacrown-5-crown-5)- 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxy diimide (3) was prepared by reacting N,N'-dipropyl-1,7-dibromo-3,4,9,10- perylene tetracarboxy diimide (1) with calix[4]azacrown-5-crown-5. Also the alternating copolymer (4) with similar repeating unit was prepared reacting by calix[4]bisazacrown-5 with 1. Metal ion binding by 3 and 4 leads to a blue-shift of absorption band and emission spectra. When ionophoric characteristics were investigated by binding alkali, alkali earth metal and various metal ions, polymeric ionophores displayed large fluorescence decreasing effects with K+, Ag+ and Ba2+, which was rationalized by photo-induced charge transfer (PCT).

고양이 백혈병 바이러스에서 reverse transcriptase를 분리하여 생화학적 및 면역학적 연구를 하였다. 분자량은 72,000이고, DNA polymerase와 RNase H의 활성은 0.05-1 mM $M_n^2+$와 50-80 mM KCl에서 가장 좋았다. DNA polymerase와 RNase H는 같은 단백질 분자에 있으며, chymotrypsin 처리로서 RNase H를 쪼개낼 수 있으며, 이 RNase H도 reverse transcriptase의 항체에 의해서 활성이 거의 억제 된다. Reverse transcriptase의 항체 결합위치와 활성을 내는 위치는 다른 것 같다.

$\beta-Cyclodextrin$ derivatives connected with diaza-18-crown-6 through flexible bridges (R) at the secondary face 1a-c (1a: R = $-(CH_2)4-;$ 1b: R = $-CH_2CH_2OCH_2CH2-;$ 1c: R = $-(CH_2)8-)$ have been prepared. The associa tion constants of 1 with (2-naphthoxy)alkylammonium ions (2a: alkyl = butyl; 2b: alkyl = octyl) were determined by induced circular dichroism (ICD) spectroscopy and it was found that the derivatization of $\beta-CD$ with the diazacrown resulted in enhanced binding with 2, compared to the native $\beta-CD.$ ICD Characteristics of the host-guest complexes indicate that a part of the alkylammonium moiety of 2 is protruded from the secondary side of the $\beta-CD$ cavity, and the guest molecules 2a and 2b move to the secondary and primary side, respectively, to make the binding of the ammonium group with the diaza-18-crown-6 moiety more feasible. The energy accompanied by the relocation of the guest molecules inside $\beta-CD$ moiety is compensated by the interaction energy between the ammonium ion and diazacrown ether.

부식산(humic acid)은 토양 환경내에서 중금속의 용액내 이온종(chemical speciation) 분포 및 이동성(transport)에 커다란 영향을 미친다. 부식산에 대한 카드뮴과 구리의 경쟁흡착을 파악하기 위하여, 상이한 농도의 배경 전해질 조건에서 피트에서 추출한 부식산의 전하발현 양상을 조사하고, 수소이온흡착모델을 통하여 부식산 표변에서의 양성자결합 상수(proton binding constant) 금속이온 흡착모델의 기본상수로 하여 부식산 표면에 대한 카드뮴, 구리흡착과 두 이온의 경쟁흡착을 해석하고자 하였다. 구리는 카드뮴에 비하여 카르복실기에 더 강한 흡착력이 있음을 보여 주었으며 페놀성 수산기에 대한 흡착력은 카드뮴에 비하여 약함을 보여 주었다. 여러 금속이온이 복합적으로 존재하는 환경에서 이온 간의 경쟁을 고려하였을 때 단일 이온만이 존재할 경우를 대상으로 구한 상수를 직접 적용시켜 경쟁효과를 예측하는 데는 어려움이 있음을 알 수 있었지만, 금속이온 각각을 통해 얻은 상수값은 부식산의 표면에 흡착할 수 있는 금속이온의 양을 제시 할 수 있으므로 금속이온간의 상대적인 흡착능의 비교는 가능하다고 생각된다.

Six new binuclear copper(II) complexes have been prepared by template condensation of the dialdehydes 1,8-[bis(3-formyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl)benzyl]-l,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (PC-a) and 1,8-[bis(3-formyl-2-hydroxy-5-bromo)benzyl]-l,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (PC-b) with appropriate aliphatic diamines, and copper(II) perchlorate. The structural features of the complexes have been confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis and mass spectra etc. The electrochemical behavior of all the copper(II) complexes show two irreversible one electron reduction process. The room temperature magnetic moment studies depict the presence of an antiferromagnetic interaction in the binuclear complexes. The catechol oxidation and hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenylphosphate were carried out by using the complexes as catalyst. The antimicrobial screening data show good results. The binding of the complexes to calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) has been investigated with absorption and emission spectroscopy. The complex [$Cu_2L^{1a}$] displays significant cleavage property of circular plasmid pBR322 DNA in to linear form. Spectral, electrochemical, magnetic and catalytic studies support the distortion of the copper ion geometry that arises as the macrocyclic ring size increases.

There has been an explosive development of nanocrystal (NC) synthesis and application due to their composition-dependent specific properties. Despite the composition, shape, and size of NCs foremost determine their physicochemical properties, the surface state and molecule conjugation also drastically change their characteristics. To make practical use of NCs, it is a prerequisite to understand the NC surface state and the degree to which they have been modified because the reaction occurs on the interface between the NCs and the surrounding medium. We report in here an analysis method to identify conjugated ligands and their binding states on semiconductor nanocrystals based on their molecular information. Surface science techniques, such as time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and FT-IR spectroscopy, are adopted based on the micro-aggregated sampling method. Typical trioctylphosphine oxide-based synthesis methods of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) have been criticized because of the peculiar effects of impurities on the synthesis processes. Since the ToF-SIMS technique provides molecular composition evidence on the existence of certain ligands, we were able to clearly identify the n-octylphosphonic acid (OPA) as a surface ligand on CdSe/ZnS QDs. Furthermore, the complementary use of the ToF-SIMS technique with the FT-IR technique could reveals the OPA ligands' binding state as bidentate complexes.

Two oxidation states of chromium commonly occur in natural soil/water systems, Cr(III) and Cr(VI). The oxidized form, Cr(VI), exists as the chromate ion and is more mobile and toxic than Cr(III). Therefore oxidation of Cr(III) by various Mn-oxides in natural systems is a very important environmental concern. Organic substances can inhibit the Cr(III) oxidation by binding, Cr(III) strongly and also by dissolving Mn-oxides. Most of Cr(III) oxidation studies were carried out using in vitro systems without organic substances which exist in natural soil/water systems. In this study effect of organic acids - oxalate and pyruvate - on Cr(III) oxidation by $birnessite({\delta}-MnO_2)$ was examined. The two organic acids significantly inhibited Cr(III) oxidation by birnessite. Oxalate showed more significant inhibition than pyruvate. As solution pH was lowered in the range of 3.0 to 5.0, the Cr(III) oxidation was more strongly depressed. Addition of more organic acids reduced the Cr(III) oxidation mare extensively. Different inhibition effects by the organic acids could be due to their ability of reductive dissolution of Mn-oxides and/or Cr(III) binding. Organic acids dissolved Mn-oxide during the Cr(III) oxidation by the oxide, Dissolution by oxalic acid was much greater than that by pyruvate, and the dissolution was more extensive at lower pH. Inhibition of Cr(III) oxidation was parallel to the dissolution of Mn-oxide by organic acids. Although the effect of Cr(III) binding by organic acids on Cr(III) oxidation is not known yet, Mn-oxide dissolution by organic acids could be a main reason for the inhibition of Cr(III) oxidation by Mn-oxide in presence of organic acids. Thus oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI) by various Mn-oxides in natural systems could be much less than the oxidation estimated by in vitro studies with only Cr(III) and Mn-oxides.

Multiple forms of extracellular phospholipase $A_2$ have been detected in human amniotic fluid (HAF). When HAF was subjected to heparin-Sepharose column chromatography, phospholipase $A_2$ activity was detected in both heparin-non binding and binding fraction. The activity of heparin-non binding fraction was further purified by sequential uses of column chromatographies on butyl-Toy-opearl 650M and DEAE-Sephacel. DEAE-Sephacel fraction contained three different phospholipase $A_2$ activities (Peak I, II, III). The molecular weight of DEAE-Sephacel fraction phospholipase $A_2$ determined by SDS-PAGE were about 52KDa (Peak I). Peak II, III required micromolar $Ca^{2+}$ ion for its maximum activity, but Peak I enzyme showed calcium independent phospholipase $A_2$ activity and showed broad range of pH (6.0~10.0) optimum. All these enzymes were not recognized by a monoclonal antibody raised against phospholipase $A_2$ from human synovial fluid. These results suggest that HAF might contain multiple forms of extracellular phospholipase $A_2$, which may neither belong to the 14KDa group II phospholipase $A_2$ family nor cytosolic phospholipase $A_2$.
