염산 및 불산으로 모더나이트를 처리하여 실리카/알루미나 비가 다른 일련의 시료를 만들었다. 이러한 시료에 대하여 암모니아 TPD와 피리딘 흡착으로 IR을 이용하여 산성도를 측정하고 o-xylene 반응의 활성과 이성화반응에 대한 선택성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 염산처리 시료는 실리카/알루미나 비가 증가할수록 구조알루미늄이 추출되어 산량이 감소하였으며 실리카/알루미나 비가 22인 시료가 다른 시료들보다 활성이 좋았다. 불산처리 시료는 불산처리 시 불소가 구조 중 규소원자와 결합하였으며 처리시간이 증가함에 따라 결합된 불소는 증가하였다. 이 경우의 활성은 염산처리와는 달리 알루미늄의 추출과 함께 모더나이트의 수산기가 불소로 치환되어 이로 인하여 산점이 줄어 활성이 감소하나 불산은 규소도 추출하므로 표면을 파고들어 새로운 면이 노출되어 산점이 형성되고 이 산점은 증가된 결합불소의 영향을 받아 강해지면서 활성이 다소 증가하였다.

Extracellular phospholipase $A_2$ activity has been detected in urine of patients with acute pyelonephritis (APN). This enzyme required micromolar $Ca^{2+}$ ion for its maximum activity and showed a broad range of pH (4.5~10) optimum. Urine enzyme hydrolyzed phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS) more effectively than phosphatidylcholine (PC). $PLA_2$ activity in the urine of patients with APN was about 5-fold higher than that of healthy individuals. When urine was subjected to heparinSepharose column chromatography, phospholipase $A_2$ activity was detected in both heparin-non-binding and binding fractions. Both phospholipase $A_2$ activities were sensitive less than a micromolar calcium concentration and did not react with anti-human 14-kDa group II phospholipase $A_2$ monoclonal antibody, HP-l. These findings suggest that two kinds of novel extracellular phospholipase $A_2$. which may not belong to the 14-kDa group II phospholipase $A_2$ family, exist in the urine of patients with APN.

Purpose: Under different culture conditions, periodontal ligament (PDL) stem cells are capable of differentiating into cementoblast-like cells, adipocytes, and collagen-forming cells. Several previous studies reported that because of the stem cells in the PDL, the PDL have a regenerative capacity which, when appropriately triggered, participates in restoring connective tissues and mineralized tissues. Therefore, this study analyzed the genes involved in mineralization during differentiation of human PDL (hPDL) cells, and searched for candidate genes possibly associated with the mineralization of hPDL cells. Methods: To analyze the gene expression pattern of hPDL cells during differentiation, the hPDL cells were cultured in two conditions, with or without osteogenic cocktails (${\beta}$-glycerophosphate, ascorbic acid and dexamethasone), and a DNA microarray analysis of the cells cultured on days 7 and 14 was performed. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was performed to validate the DNA microarray data. Results: The up-regulated genes on day 7 by hPDL cells cultured in osteogenic medium were thought to be associated with calcium/iron/metal ion binding or homeostasis (PDE1A, HFE and PCDH9) and cell viability (PCDH9), and the down-regulated genes were thought to be associated with proliferation (PHGDH and PSAT1). Also, the up-regulated genes on day 14 by hPDL cells cultured in osteogenic medium were thought to be associated with apoptosis, angiogenesis (ANGPTL4 and FOXO1A), and adipogenesis (ANGPTL4 and SEC14L2), and the down-regulated genes were thought to be associated with cell migration (SLC16A4). Conclusions: This study suggests that when appropriately triggered, the stem cells in the hPDL differentiate into osteoblasts/cementoblasts, and the genes related to calcium binding (PDE1A and PCDH9), which were strongly expressed at the stage of matrix maturation, may be associated with differentiation of the hPDL cells into osteoblasts/cementoblasts.

We synthesized new dye sensor based on indole compound. Through the UV-vis absorptions, we analyzed chemosensing properties to explain metal binding properties. The peak absorptions increased at 472 nm when added metal cations($Cd^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Hg^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$ and $Cr^{3+}$) and gradually decreased the peak at 516 nm. Thus, this UV-Vis absorption behavior clearly showed the metal binding reaction. To measure energy level of used dye sensor, HOMO/LUMO energy value was calculated with cyclovaltagramm(CV) and using computational calculation method, in which we estimated the optimum structure of dye sensor. CV and computational calculation method, both compared to find suitable geometric structure. (with almost same energy values.) From the computational calculation, dye sensor has plane structure. So, Amine and ketone in the dye sensor faced each other and makes position to bind metal cations. In addition, these positions was supported pull-push electron system and generated MLCT process, when the dye sensor was bonded with the metal cations and resulted chemosensing properties. Through the electrochemical and computational calculation method analyze, we proposed the chemosensing principles that the dye sensor bind the metal cation between ketone and amine. Finally, the formation type of metal ion bindings was determined by Job's plot measurements.

A gene encoding a $\gamma-butyrolactone$ autoregulator receptor was cloned from Saccharopolyspora erythraea, and the biochemical characteristics, including the autoregulator specificity, were determined with the purified recombinant protein. Using primers designed for the conserved amino acid sequence of Streptomyces $\gamma-butyrolactone$ autoregulator receptors, a 120 bp S. erythraea DNA fragment was obtained by PCR. Southern and colony hybridization with the 120 bp fragment as a probe allowed to select a genomic clone of S. erythraea, pESG, harboring a 3.2 kb SacI fragment. Nucleotide sequencing analysis revealed a 615 bp open reading frame (ORF), showing moderate homology (identity, $31-34\%$; similarity, $45-47\%$) with the $\gamma-butyrolactone$ autoregulator receptors from Streptomyces sp., and this ORF was named seaR (Saccharopolyspora erythraea autoregulator receptor). The seaR/pET-3d plasmid was constructed to overexpress the recombinant SeaR protein (rSeaR) in Escherichia coli, and the rSeaR protein was purified to homogeneity by DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography, followed by DEAE-ion-exchange HPLC. The molecular mass of the purified rSeaR protein was 52 kDa by HPLC gel-filtration chromatography and 27 kDa by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, indicating that the rSeaR protein is present as a dimer. A binding assay with tritium-labeled autoregulators revealed that rSeaR has clear binding activity with a VB-C-type autoregulator as the most effective ligand, demonstrating for the first time that the erythromycin producer S. erythraea possesses a gene for the $\gamma-butyrolactone$autoregulator receptor.

Anabaena sensory rhodopsin is a seven transmembrane protein that uses all-trans/13-cis retinal as a chromophore. About 22 residues in the retinal-binding pocket of microbial rhodopsins are conserved and important to control the quality of absorbing light and the function of ion transport or sensory transduction. The absorption maximum is 550 nm in the presence of all-trans retinal at dark. Here, we mutated Pro206 to Glu or Asp, of which the residue is conserved as Asp among all other microbial rhodopsins, and the absorption maximum and pKa of the proton acceptor group were measured by absorption spectroscopy at various pHs. Anabaena rhodopsin was expressed best in Escherichia coli in the absence of extra leader sequence when exogenous all-trans retinal was added. The wild-type Anabaena rhodopsin showed small absorption maximum changes between pH4 and 11. In addition, Pro206Asp showed 46 nm blue-shift at pH7.0. Pro206Glu or Asp may change the contribution to the electron distribution of the retinal that is involved in the major role of color tuning for this pigment. The critical residue Ser86 (Asp 96 position in bacteriorhodopsin: proton donor) for the pumping activity was replaced with Asp, but it did not change the proton pumping activity of Anabaena rhodopsin.

Reactive sputtering 방법으로 증착된 tungsten nitride ($(WN_x)$) 박막에 대해 $N_2$ 유량비 변화에 따르는 구조, 화학결합, 그리고 비저항 값의 변화를 조사하였다. $(WN_x)$ 박막 증착시 $N_2$ 유량비를 20%, 40%, 60%로 늘려감에 따라 그 구조는 각각 bcc $\beta$-W상, 비정질상, 그리고 fcc W$_2$N상으로 변화하였으며, 비정질상이 형성되었을 때 박막 표면이 가장 평탄하였다. $(WN_x)$ 박막이 공기 중에 노출된 경우, 모든 시료 표면에서 $WO_3$ 산화물이 형성되었으며, $N_2$유량비가 증가할수록 $(WN_x)$ 박막내 N의 조성비가 증가하였고, W $4f_{7/2}$ peak가 높은 binding energy 쪽으로 이동하였다. 하지만 시료표면을 $Ar^+$ 이온으로 etching한 후에는 WNx 박막 표면이 비정질화되기 때문에 N의 조성비가 변화함에도 불구하고 $W4f_{7/2}$ / peak가 거의 변화하지 않았다. 박막의 비저항 값은 $N_2$ 유량비가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다.

Interaction occuring among the different Ca concentrations, pH and temperatures in the promotive effect of Ca in pollen growth was studied by using pollen from Crinum asiaticum and Cryptostegia grandiflora. Data for pollen tube elongation were found to be more indicative of representing the promotive action of Ca ion in pollen growth than those for pollen germination, and were served to evaluate the experimental results. The pollen growth increased as the concentration of Ca increase. The optimal pH range for pollen growth shifted from the lower pH to the higher as the concentration of Ca increase. The characteristic Ca effect was disappeared, and no pH effect at various ranges was observed when pollen grains were grown at the low temperature(8$^{\circ}C$). The Ca effect became quite pronounced if temperature were raised. The Ca effect became even mroe striking if the condition was in higher pH ranges (weak alkaline). Higher pH ranges were found to be more favorable for the Ca action, whereas higher temperature was required to bring about more pronounced Ca effect. Thus, the longest pollen tube was obtained with the highest pH, temperature adopted for the medium supplemented with Ca in the present experiment, and the shortest tube with the lowest temperature applied at the highest pH. Pectin synthesis in pollen tube was considered as a metabolic process, whereas Ca binding in pectin of the pollen tube wall as non-metabolic in nature. Disappearance of Ca effect at the low temperature was probably brought about by blocking the metabolic synthesis of pectin, and nonmetabolic Ca binding seems to take place more extensively with higher concentrations of Ca and at higher pH levels than the lower.

The surfaces of $TiO_2$ and ZnO nanoparticles have been modified by gold (Au) nanoparticles by a reduction method in solution. Their interfacial electronic structures and optical absorptions have been studied by depth-profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, respectively. Upon Au-modification, UV-vis absorption spectra reveal a broad surface plasmon peak at around 500 nm. For the as-prepared Au-modified $TiO_2$ and ZnO, the Au $4f_{7/2}$ XPS peaks exhibit at 83.7 and 83.9 eV, respectively. These are due to a charge transfer effect from the metal oxide support to the Au. For $TiO_2$, the larger binding energy shift from that (84.0 eV) of bulk Au could indicate that Au-modification site of $TiO_2$ is different from that of ZnO. On the basis of the XPS data with sputtering depth, we conclude that cationic (1+ and 3+) Au species, plausibly $Au(OH)_x$ (x = 1-3), commonly form mainly at the Au-$TiO_2$ and Au-ZnO interfaces. With $Ar^+$ ion sputtering, the oxidation state of Ti dramatically changes from 4+ to 3+ and 2+ while that (2+) of Zn shows no discernible change based on the binding energy position and the full-width at half maximum (FWHM).
