Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to investigate the transport properties of self-diffusion coefficients in the penetrable-sphere model system. The resulting simulation data for the product of the packing fraction and the self-diffusion coefficient exhibit a transition from an increasing function of density in lower repulsive systems, where the soft-type collisions are dominant, to a decreasing function in higher repulsive systems, where most particle collisions are the hard-type reflections due to the low-penetrability effects. A modified Enskog-like equation implemented by the effective packing fraction with the mean-field energy correction is also proposed, and this heuristic approximation yields a reasonably good result even in systems of high densities and high repulsive energy barriers.

불가사리 골편의 콜라겐으로부터 활성 펩타이드를 분리하기 위하여 초음파를 처리하여 조직을 단편화 시키고 이후 collagnease를 처리하였다. 초음파를 처리할 경우 40kHz의 경우 38.89%의 수율을 나타내었다. 이후 펩타이드의 분자량을 측정하여 12, 20.6, 24, 43, 58a, 100, 116 kDa에서 특정 밴드를 보였다. 이후 Sephadex G-75 컬럼을 이용하여 fraction 별로 모아 사용하였다. 세포 독성을 측정하고 시료 처리 후 형태학적 관찰을 동반한 결과 24 kDa의 경우 최고 농도인 1.0 mg/mL에서 26.7%를 나타내었으며 4번의 계대 이후에도 형태학적 변화가 나타나지 않아 독성이 없다고 해석할 수 있다. 이후 UVA처리 후 MMP-1의 발현을 탐색한 결과 116 kDa부터 24 kDa까지 최고농도인 1.0 mg/mL에서 40, 46.3, 56.8, 57.9, 62.4%의 control 대비 저해율을 보였다. 외부적 스트레스인 UVA에 의한 AP-1의 활성도를 증가시키는 과정을 억제한 것으로 볼 수 있으며 결과적으로 MMP-1의 발현을 효과적으로 조절한 것이라 사료되어 향후 불가사리 콜라겐 유래 펩타이드의 향장소재 활용 가능성이 높다고 할 수 있겠다.

The opd gene, encoding organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) from Flavobacterium sp. capable of degrading a wide range of organophosphate pesticides, was surface- and intracellular-expressed in Synechococcus PCC7942, a prime example of photoautotrophic cyanobacteria. OPH was displayed on the cyanobacterial cell surface using the truncated ice nucleation protein as an anchoring motif. A minor fraction of OPH was displayed onto the outermost surface of cyanobacterial cells, as verified by immunostaining visualized under confocal laser scanning microscopy and OPH activity analysis; however, a substantial fraction of OPH was buried in the cell wall, as demonstrated by proteinase K and lysozyme treatments. The cyanobacterial outer membrane acts as a substrate (paraoxon) diffusion barrier affecting whole-cell biodegradation efficiency. After freeze-thaw treatment, permeabilized whole cells with intracellular-expressed OPH exhibited 14-fold higher bioconversion efficiency ($V_{max}/K_m$) than that of cells with surface-expressed OPH. As cyanobacteria have simple growth requirements and are inexpensive to maintain, expression of OPH in cyanobacteria may lead to the development of a low-cost and low-maintenance biocatalyst that is useful for detoxification of organophosphate pesticides.

The present study aimed to characterise anti-oxidant peptides from water-soluble protein extracts of Hanwoo beef and evaluate their anti-proliferative effect on human colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT116). Antioxidant peptides were purified from the low-molecular-weight fraction (<3 kDa) of Hanwoo beef extract. Antioxidant activity of peptide fractions was determined using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. Purified peptide (P3) displayed higher ORAC activity than the low-molecular-weight fraction ($202.66{\mu}M\;TE/g$ vs $167.38{\mu}M\;TE/g$ of dry matter, respectively) (p<0.05). The peptide sequence of P3 was Cys-Cys-Cys-Cys-Ser-Val-Gln-Lys (888.30 Da). The novel peptide P3, at $250{\mu}g/mL$, also significantly inhibited HCT116 cell proliferation up to 25.24% through phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38 kinase (p<0.05). Hence, antioxidant peptide P3 from Hanwoo beef extract can be used as an antioxidative and anticancer agent in the functional food industry.

$\beta$-Glucosidaes from Cellvibrio gilvus(CG) was successfully overproduced in soluble form in E. coli with the coexpression of GroEL/ES/. Without the GroEL/ES protein, the $\beta$-glucosidase overexpressed in E. coli constituted a huge amount(80%) of total cellular protein, but was localized in the insoluble fraction, and little activity was detected in the soluble fraction. Coexpression of the E. coli GroEL/ES had a drastic impact on the proper folding of the $\beta$-glucosidase; 20% of the overexpressed enzyme was recovered in the soluble fraction in active form. Similar effects of GroEL/ES were also observed on the overexpressed $\beta$-glucosidase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens(AT). And pET28(a)-RGRAR, partially deleted mutant lacking 5-amino acid residues at carboxy teminus also could be folded into an active form when expressed with the molecular chaperonin GroEL/ES, and its activity was higher than that of the without GroEL/ES system, In addition, the synergistic effect of GroEL/ES and the low induction temperature were important factors for solubilization of the inclusion body from overproduced $\beta$-glucosidases.

Low molecular weight endo-glucanase fraction of cellulase from Trichoderma reesei was purified using Sephadex G-100 and concanavalin A-Sepha-rose 4B affinity chromatography. Its biochemical characteristics including pH profile, temperature profile and kinetic behavior were studied. The optimum conditions for enzymatic reaction were pH 6.0 and $5^{\circ}C.$ The activation energy for CMC (carboxymethylcellulose) was 10,800 cal/mole. Its adsorption to amorhous and crystalline cellulose was observed. Adsorption to amorphous cellulose was more rapid and greater than that of crystalline cellulose. Reconstitution study was performed. Significance of low molecular weight endo-glucanase on cellulose hydrolysis will be further discussed.

Colored components in black tea were extracted, freeze-dried, and analysed to investigate the possibility using as a natural dye. Fractionation of the colored components was carried out by gel permeation chromatography. The colored components in black tea were elected into seven fractions. Each fraction was analyzed by UV spectrophotometer. The early fluted fractions 1-4 did not show any absorption peaks in 320-700 nm and showed the increase in absorption as it approaches to short wavelength and are considered as highly polymerized colored substances. Fractions 5-6 showed tar at 350 m and are considered as thearubigins. Fraction 7 showed absorption peaks at 376 nm and 456 nm and is considered as theaflavin. IR spectra of each fraction show: Strong C=0 stretching band at 1650 cm-1 appears in fractions 1-4, but not in fractions 5-7. Strong C=0 stretching band at 1700 cm-L appears in fraction 3-7. C=0 stretching band at 1610 cm-1 appears as a shoulder in fraction 4 and progressively changes into strong peak in fraction 5-7. From these results, it is assumed that colored components in black tea consist of polyphenolic substances having different molecular weight which were formed during tea manufacturing process. The colorants from black tea infusion were applied to silk, wool, cotton and nylon fabrics. Black tea colorants showed high affinity to wool, silk and nylon, but very low affinity to cotton fabrics.

Natural organic matters(NOMs) are found everywhere such as soil, surface and ground waters and consist of both humic and nonhumic components, and their heterogeneith makes each source unique. This study was carried to evaluate the removal characteristics of NOMs by mixing coagulants and the variation of apparent molecular weight distribution(AMWD) in coagulation process. Ratio of optimum coagulants dosage for removal of DOC and turbidity by mixing coagulants was 1.83 mM F $e^{3+}$/mM $Al^{3+}$. DOC removal increased at lower pH. The pH6 control focused on the removal of organic matters could reduce the amount of coagulant consumption by 2 to 3 times based on the pH8.5 of natural water. The dissolved organic matters in the natural water from the mid-stream of Han River were composed of the low molecular weight(LMW,<1 K) of 59.7%, and the medium and high molecular weight(M.HMW, 1~30 K) of 40.3%, respectively. At pH6, the DOC removal efficiencies of LMW(<1 K) and M.HMW(1~30 K) in coagulation process were 27~35%, 62~72%, respectively. The fraction smaller than 1 K was not eliminated to a noticeable degree, while the fraction of 1~30 K was relatively well removed. In conclustion, mixing coagulants were fairly effective in the removal of natural organic matter.r.

Transparent acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) were successfully prepared by photopolymerization with 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (2-HEA) as a default constituent and with isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) and N-(isobutoxymethyl)acrylamide (IBMA) as a variable constituent. The IBMA mole fraction effect in the acrylic PSAs was investigated on adhesion performances and the optical properties including 85/85 test as well as the characteristics (solid content, and molecular weight) of the PSA syrups were also investigated. Regardless increasing the IBMA mole fraction in the acrylic PSAs, the acrylic PSAs exhibited almost the same adhesion performance such as $180^{\circ}$ peel strength (~4.0 kg/25 mm) and probe tack (~0.27 kg). All the acrylic PSA samples also showed high transmittance (more than 91%), low haze (less than 1.0%) and low color-difference (less than 1.0) before and after 85/85 test.
