본 연구는 옥수수 전분을 sodium hypochlorite(NaOCl)로 산화시킬 때 산화제의 농도, pH와 온도가 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 전분의 산화 반응은 NaOCl 농도, pH와 온도의 영향을 받았다. 산화반응은 산화제가 3.0% active Cl/g starch 이하의 농도에서는 1차 반응, 3.75% active Cl/g starch이상의 농도에서는 2차 반응으로 나타났다. 1차 반응에서 산화제의 농도가 2.25% active Cl/g starch 까지는 반응속도 상수가 증가하였고, 그 이후의 농도에서는 일정한 값을 보였다. 산화에 따른 전분내 카르복실기 함량은 반응 초기에 급격히 증가하다가 반응이 진행되면서 증가정도가 완만해졌으며, NaOCl 농도가 증가함에 따라 카르복실기의 생성량도 증가하였다. 동일한 NaOCl 농도(1.5% active Cl/g starch)에서 전분의 산화는 pH 7에서 가장 빠르게 진행되었다 온도에 따른 전분의 산화속도를 1차식으로 해석한 결과, 온도가 증가됨에 따라 속도 상수(k)값이 증가되어 반응속도가 빨라지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편 Arrhenius 식으로부터 산화 반응의 활성화 에너지를 계산하였을 때 1차반응의 활성화 에너지는 약 13.45 kcal/mol이었다.

The detection of antibiotics in treated wastewater is a global concern as it enters water bodies and causes the development of antibiotic resistance genes in humans and marine life. The study specifically aims to explore the potential of ferrate (VI) in eliminating tetracycline (TCL). The degradation of TCL is optimized with parametric studies, viz., the effect of pH and concentration, which provide insights into TCL elimination. The increase in pH (from 7.0 to 10.0) favors the percentage removal of TCL; however, the increase in TCL concentrations from 0.02 to 0.3 mmol/L caused a decrease in percentage TCL removal from 97.4 to 29.1%, respectively, at pH 10.0. The time-dependent elimination of TCL using ferrate (VI) followed pseudosecond-order rate kinetics, and an apparent rate constant (kapp) was found at 1978.8 L² /mol² /min. Coexisting ions, i.e., NaNO₃, Na₂HPO₄, NaCl, and oxalic acid, negligibly affect the oxidation of TCL by ferrate (VI). However, EDTA and glycine significantly inhibited the elimination of TCL using ferrate (VI). The mineralization of TCL using ferrate (VI) was favored at higher pH, and it increased from 18.57 to 32.52% when the solution pH increased from pH 7.0 to 10.0. Additionally, the real water samples containing a relatively high level of inorganic carbon spiked with TCL revealed that ferrate (VI) performance in the removal of TCL was unaffected, which further inferred the potential of ferrate (VI) in real implications.

Salmonella typhimurum은 생활사 동안에 다양한 환경과 접하게 된다. S. typhimurium은 오염된 웅덩이에서 숙주의 phgolysosome에 이르기까지 생태계에 널리 분포하면서 산성 스트레스를 경험하며 또한 생존할 수 있다. Salmonella 이와 같은 산저항능은 Acid Tolerance Response (ATR)에 의해 획득된다. 약산의 pH에 적응된 S. typhimurium은 낮은 pH 영역에서 생존할 수 있는 일종의 대항능을 갖게되며, 이런 생존 능력은 복잡한 유전적 유도현상 결과로 해석된다. Salmonella 있어서 ATR은 RpoS 의존적 그리고 RpoS 비의존적 현상으로 구분되며, 특히 혐기적 조건(5% $CO_2$, 5% H$_2$, 90% $N_2$)에서 rpoS$\Omega$Ap는 UK1과 동일한 ATR을 나타내어, 혐기적 조건의 ATR은 RpoS 비의존적인 것으로 판명되었다. P22와 MudJ (Km, lacZ)를 이용한 gene fusion기법과 sodium acetate (pH4.5)를 이용한 돌연변이체 분리방법을 병행하여 산민감성의 형질을 나타내는 LE487 aatA::MudJ를 얻었다. antA 는 Salmonella의 유전자 지도상에서 12min에 위치하는 것으로 조사되었다. antA는 혐기적 조건(5% $CO_2$, 5% H$_2$, 90% $N_2$)하의 pH4.3 조건에서 야생형 Salmonella 비해서 매우 높은 산민감성을 보여주었다. 그러므로 antA는 혐기적 ATR에 있어서 산적응 기전에 관여하는 중요한 유전자로 확인되었다.

Conessine, a steroidal alkaloid, is a potent histamine H3 antagonist with antimalarial activity. We recently reported that conessine treatment interferes with $H_2O_2$-induced cell death by regulating autophagy. However, the cellular signaling pathways involved in conessine treatment are not fully understood. Here, we report that conessine reduces muscle atrophy by interfering with the expression of atrophy-related ubiquitin ligases MuRF-1 and atrogin-1. Promoter reporter assay revealed that conessine treatment inhibits FoxO3a-dependent transcription, $NF-{\kappa}B$-dependent transcription, and p53-dependent transcription. We also showed by quantitative RT-PCR and western blot assays that conessine treatment reduced dexamethasone-induced expression of MuRF1 and atrogin-1. Finally, we demonstrated that conessine treatment reduced dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy using differentiated C2C12 cells. These results collectively suggest that conessine is potentially useful in the treatment of muscle atrophy.

Mercury-induced changes in Chl a fluorescence induction kinetics of scratched barley leaf segments were dependent on the presence of light. By the treatment of 50$\mu$M HgCl2 under light condition, Fm and Fp were decreased. However, they were not significantly reduced under dark condition even after 2 h of mercury treatment. Under dark condition the decrease in variable fluorescence (Fv) after P transient was blocked within 20 min of the treatment. The analysis of fast fluorescence rise curve suggests that the inhibitory site of mercury under both light and dark conditions is not at QB binding site and the inhibition does not involve the increase in inactive PSII centers. Under light condition the decrease in Fp was partially recovered by addition of 50 $\mu$M NH2OH. These results suggest that a major inhibitory site of mercury under dark condition is at the reducing side of PSII and the site under light condition is at the oxidizing side of PSII possibly in addition to the one under dark condition. Under both light and dark conditions, energy-dependent quenching(qE) was alomost completely repressed within 20 min of mercury treatment and noticible change in Fo was not observed. The qE repression is probably due to the blockage of transthylakoid ΔpH formation.

There is increasing evidence that the convective mixing length (α) in stellar evolution models depends on metallicity of stars. In order to confirm a more precise metallicity-dependent mixing length trend, we investigate the effective temperature and metallicity of 14 red supergiant stars (RSGs) in the irregular dwarf galaxy IC 1613 using the near-infrared spectra observed with the MMIRS on the MMT telescope. From the synthetic spectral fitting to the observed spectra, we find that the mean metallicity is about [Fe/H]=0.69 with a weak bimodal distribution. We also find that the effective temperature of RSGs in IC 1613 is higher by about 250 K than that of the SMC on average. We compare the RSG position with stellar evolutionary tracks on the HR diagram, finding that models with α = 2.2-2.4 H_p can best reproduce the effective temperatures of the RSGs in IC 1613. It is evident that the mixing length values for IC 1613 is lower than that of the Milky Way. This result supports our previous study on a metallicity-dependent mixing length: mixing length decreases with decreasing metallicity of host galaxies. However, this dependency becomes relatively weak for RSGs having a metallicity equal to or less than the SMC metallicity.

Cation motive ATPases on cell membranes of Helicobacter pylori were investigated using everted membrane vesicles. Latent ATPases could be ascertained from aggregated vesicle using N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and Triton X-100. By contrast, ultrasonication or chloroform treatments caused membranes to be disrupted, resulting in an alteration of sensitivities against azide or vanadate. Considerable amounts of vanadate-sensitive enzymes were identified from vesicle micelles, prepared by the dilution method. These were activated in the presence of either $Ni^{2+}\;or\;NH_4^+$. From studies employing H. pylori intact cell systems, we found that ATPase expression of this bacterium was markedly dependent upon air composition. It was interesting that cellular expression of $Ni^{2+}$- or $NH_4^{+}$-motive ATPases was significantly affected by extracellular pH, suggesting that these unique enzymes may physiologically be involved in cellular $Ni^2$ import and $NH_4^+$ export, respectively.

The reduction of a series of 1-substituted benzyl-3-cyanoquinolinium ions (p-$cH_3$, H, p-Br, m-F, p-CN) by sodium borohydride has been investigated. In all cases the products from these reactions were found to be 1, 2-dihydroquinolines over 82% yields. Rates of reduction were measured in basic condition and in solvent system consisting of 4 parts of isopropyl alcohol and 1 part of water by volume. Second order rate constants were obtained for these reactions. When the ratio of [$OH^-$] to [$BH_4^-$] becomes large the observed rate constants ($K_{obs}$) decrease by a small factor. Reaction scheme and rate law are discussed. Bronsted ${\alpha}(=\frac{d\;In\;k}{d\;In\;K})$ obtained by using the value of equilibrium constant K, which was obtained previously, was not 0. Instead, a value of 0.36 was obtained which indicated that the reduction by borohydride was structure-dependent according to the Marcus formalism even though the reaction rate was close to the diffusion limit.

본 연구에서는 염소계화합물로 오염된 토양 및 지하수의 효율적인 처리방안으로 산화망간을 이용한 염소계화합물의 환원분해반응을 유도하였다. 기존의 펜톤반응은 산성 pH에서 효율적이며 고농도의 과산화수소를 소모하는데 비하여, 산화망간/과산화수소 시스템에서는중성 pH에서 낮은 과산화수소 농도($\leq$294mM)로도 효율적인 CT의 분해율을 보였으며 pH가 증가함에 따라 CT의 분해율도 증가하였다. 또한 산화망간 농도의 증가율에 비하여 CT의 분해율은 그다지 높은 증가율을 보이지 않았으며, 이는 반응시 발생하는 산소의 생성율이 증가하기 때문으로 보여지며 발생하는 산소가 산화망간표면과 과산화수소의 접촉빈도를 감소시키기 때문에 일어나는 현상으로 여겨진다. 이러한 연구결과는 난분해성물질인 염소계화합물로 오염된 토양 및 지하수의 복원 시 토양의 pH완충효과 때문에 전통적인 펜톤반응을 적용하기 어려운 반면 산화망간으로 촉매화된 펜톤유사반응은 매우 효과적이며 경제적인 처리 방안이 될 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

영가금속을 이용한 아조계 염료의 탈색연구를 수행하였다. 아조계 염료는 대부분 생물학적 독성을 갖고 있으며 생물학적 분해가 어려운 경우가 많다. 색을 제거하기 위한 가장 간단한 방법은 아조결합을 파괴하는 것이며 영가금속을 이용한 환원적 제거가 가능하다. 3종의 염료를(Cibacron Briliant Yellow 3G-P (CBY3G-P), Benzopurpurin 4b (B-4B), Chicago sky blue 6b (CSB6B)) 대상으로 연구하였으며 각 염료의 반응속도는 pH에 매우 의존적이며 낮은 pH에서 반응속도가 증가되었다. 영가철에서 용해된 철이온에 의한 응집 및 침전반응도 색도제거에 기여할 수 있으며 본 연구에서는 그 기여율을 알기 위해 철이온에 의한 제거실험을 수행하였으며 그 기여율은 대상 염료에 따라 편차가 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 영가철에 의한 환원반응에 의해아조계 염료가 성공적으로 탈색될 수 있음을 증명하였다.
