The interactive inhibitory effects of pH and chloride on the catalysis of laccase from Trametes versicolor were investigated by studying the alteration of inhibition characteristics of sodium chloride at different pHs for the oxidation of 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid). At pH 3.0, the addition of sodium chloride (50 mM) brought about a 40-fold increase in $K{_m}^{app}$ and a 4-fold decrease in $V_{max}{^{app}}$. As the pH increased to 7.0, the inhibitory effects of sodium chloride became significantly weakened. The mixed-inhibition mechanism was successfully used to quantitatively estimate the competitive and uncompetitive inhibition strengths by chloride at two different pHs (pH 3.0 and 6.0). At pH 3.0, the competitive inhibition constant, $K_i$, was 0.35 mM, whereas the uncompetitive inhibition constant, $K{_i}^{\prime}$, was 18.1 mM, indicating that the major cause of the laccase inhibition by chloride is due to the competitive inhibition step. At a higher pH of 6.0, where the inhibition of the laccase by hydroxide ions takes effect, the inhibition of the laccase by chloride diminished to a great extent, showing increased values of both the competitive inhibition constant ($K_i=23.7mM$) and uncompetitive inhibition constant ($K{_i}^{\prime}=324mM$). These kinetic results evidenced that the hydroxide anion and chloride share a common mechanism to inhibit the laccase activity.

산성 혹은 염기성 pH가 활성슬러지 공정에 미치는 저해 작용은 비경쟁적 저해 동력학(noncompetitive inhibition kinetics)을 따르는 것으로 알려져 있으나, pH를 저해 물질의 농도항으로 정량화하기 어렵기 때문에 실질적으로 비경쟁적 저해 동력학식(noncompetitive inhibition kinetic equation)으로 해석하기 어렵다. 따라서 pH에 의한 저해 작용을 기술하는 경험식들이 여러 연구자들에 의해 개발되어 왔는데, 이들은 주로 산성 조건에 대해서만 적용 가능한 것들이다. 본 연구에서는 의사독성농도(pseudo toxic concentration, $C_{PT}$) 개념을 이용하여 pH가 활성슬러지 공정에 미치는 저해 영향을 정량화하는 기법을 개발하였고, 기존에 알려진 모델들과 비교하였다. 그 결과 $C_{PT}$ 개념을 이용한 모델은 넓은 범위의 pH에 대해 최대비성장속도(${\mu}_{max}$)의 감소를 비교적 정확하게 예측할 수 있었고, 같은 동력학식을 이용하여 산성 조건뿐만 아니라 염기성 조건에 대해서도 적용 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 저해계수(inhibition coefficient. $K_I$)의 추정이 간단하다는 장점이 있다.

ammonium thiosulfate(ATS)의 urease 활성 억제제로서의 효과를 thiourea와 비교하고, 온도 및 pH가 ATS의 효과에 미치는 영향을 실험한 바, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. ATS의 요소 가수 분해 저해율은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 요소의 5% 수준으로 처리하였을 때에는 1.5~14.3%, 10% 처리시에는 7.6~20.5%였다. 이는 thiourea의 저해율보다 다소 낮은 수준이었다. 2. ATS의 효과는 고온보다는 저온에서 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 즉 요소의 10% 수준으로 처리하였을 때 $10^{\circ}C$와 $15^{\circ}C$에서의 가수 분해 저해율은 각각 62.6%와 41.7%였다. 3. 토양 pH에 따라서 ATS의 효과가 나타나기 시작하는 시간이 달랐다. 즉 pH가 6.0과 6.5에서는 24시간부터 저해 효과가 나타난 반면, 5.0과 7.0, 7.5에서는 48시간부터 효과가 나타났다. 처리후 72시간에 urease 활성 저해율은 pH에 관계없이 비슷하므로, pH와 저해 효과와는 일정한 경향성이 없는 듯하다.

Dinitrophenol is preventing cells from making energy for growth and it has been suggested that pH may be important in mitigating effects of uncouplers. The effect of pH on toxicity of dinitrophenol at high concentration was investigated, over a pH range of 5.7 to 8.7. DNP inhibition was found to be strongly dependent on mixed liquor pH. The DNP degradation rate was highest in the pH range of 7.0 to 7.8; at pH 6.0 degradation of 0.41 mM dinitrophenol was significantly inhibited; at pH <5.7, dinitrophenol degradation was completely inhibited after approximately 25% of the dinitrophenol was degraded. However no significant effect of pH variation was seen on glucose uptake by the activated sludge mixed culture.

Polymer amines are found to show distinct corrosion inhibition effects in acidic media. The functional groups of organic compounds have a wide role in the physical and chemical properties, for the inhibition efficiency with respect to steric factors, aromaticity, and electron density. The influence of $H^+$ ions and $Cl^-$ ions on the corrosion inhibitive effect of poly(p-aminophenol) for iron in hydrochloric acid was studied using electrochemical methods such as impedance, linear polarization, and Tafel polarization techniques. The experiments were conducted with and without the inhibitor, poly(p-aminophenol). The concentration range of $H^+$ ions and $Cl^-$ ions are from 1 M to 0.05 M and 1 M to 0.1 M, respectively. With the inhibitor poly(p-aminophenol), this study shows that inhibition efficiency decreases with the reduction of $H^+$ ion and $Cl^-$ ion concentrations in aqueous solution. Further, it reveals that the adsorption of an inhibitor on the surface of iron is dependent on the concentrations of $H^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions in the solution and the adsorption of inhibitor on the iron surface through the cationic form of amine.

Substrate inhibition of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) degradation was investigated using activated sludge which had been adapted to mineralize DNP. DNP is a metabolic uncoupler, preventing cells from making energy for growth and it has been suggested that pH may be important in mitigating effects of uncouplers. After acclimation of the activated sludge, the effect of pH on toxicity of DNP at high concentration (75 mg/L) was investigated, over a pH range of 5 to 9. DNP inhibition was found to be strongly dependent on mixed liquor pH. The DNP degradation rate was highest in the pH range of 6.95 to 7.84; at pH 5.94 degradation of 75 mg/L DNP was significantly inhibited; at pH < 5.77, DNP degradation was completely inhibited after approximately 30% of the DNP was degraded. By comparison, no significant effect of pH variation in the same range was seen on glucose uptake by the activated sludge culture.

L-alanine dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis exhibits allosteric kinetic properties in the presence of $ZN^{2+}$. $ZN^{2+}$ induces the binding of substrate (L-alanine) to be cooperative at pH 8.0. The effect of pH variation between pH 7.0 and pH 10.0 on the inhibition by $ZN^{2+}$ correlates with the pH effect on the $K_m$ values for L-alanine within these pH range indicating that $ZN^{2+}$ and substrate compete for the same site. No such cooperativity is induced by $ZN^{2+}$ when the reaction is carried out at pH 10. At this higher pH, $ZN^{2+}$ binds with the enzyme with lower affinity and noncompetitive with respect to L-alanine. Inhibition of L-alanine dehydrogenase by $ZN^{2+}$ depends on the ionic strength. Increase in KCI concentration reduced the inhibition, but allosteric property in $ZN^{2+}$ binding is conserved. A model for the regulatory mechanism of L-alanine dehydrogenase as a noncooperative substrate-cooperative cofactor allosteric enzyme, which is compatible in both concerted and the sequential allosteric mechanism, is proposed.

천연식물류인 차류(녹차, 두충), 약용식물(어성초, 백화사설초, 삼백초) 및 해조류(미역, 청각, 김) 추출물, 채소류(피망, 케일,오이, 양파) 및 과실류(토마토, 매실,자두,포도)쥬스 등을 이용하여 NDMA생성억제작용을 pH 1.2, 4.2 및 6.0의 반응용액을 이용하여 in vitro에서 확인하였다 차류 및 약용식물류에서는 NDMA생성을 촉진시키는 경향을 보였으나, 해조류 추출물은 차류 및 약용식물류 추출물과는 달리 NDMA의 생성을 다소간 억제시켰으며, 반응용액의 pH가 산성일수록, 추출물의 농도를 높일수록 NDMA생성에 대한 억제효과가 컸다. pH 1.2에서 채소류쥬스는 57.6∼99.7%, 과실류쥬스는 35.9∼99.7%, pH 4.2에서 채소류쥬스는 55.0∼97.5%, 과실류쥬스는 21.3∼96.8%의 억제효과를 보였다.

The photosynthetic and stomatal responses of several woody plants (Powlonia coreana, Firmiana simplex, Quercus acutissima Q. variabilis and Q. serrata) to SO$_2$ were investigated in order to understand their ecophysiological tolerance to $SO_2$ Of the plants, P, coreana showed the largest reduction in its photosynthesis in response to exposure of 0.4 ppm $SO_2$ for 20 h. Fumigation of 0.7 ppm $SO_2$ for 20 h caused complete leaf necrosis of P. coreana and f simplex, which made them unavailable for the measurement of photosynthesis. Q. variabilis exhibited the smallest reduction in photosynthesis following exposure of 0.7 ppm $SO_2$ for 20 h. Both stomatal- and non-stomatal inhibition of the plants by $SO_2$ were determined according to equations by lkeda et at. (1992). When exposed to 0.4 ppm $SO_2$ for 20 h, F. simplex and P. coreana showed the lowest stomatal and non-stomatal inhibition, respectively, while Q. variabilis and Q. serrata exhibited the lowest stomatal and non-stomatal inhibition, respectively, in response to 0.7 ppm $SO_2$ for 20 h. The data are discussed with regard to resistance mechanisms of other plants to $SO_2$ exposure and implications for restoration of declined Korean forests.
