A series of pH and temperature-responsive (N,N-diethylacrylamide-co-methylacrylic acid) copolymers were synthesized by radical copolymerization and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) $^1H$, $^{13}C$ and LLS. The effects of salt and pH on the phase transition behaviors of the copolymers were investigated by uv. With increasing NaCl concentration, significant salt effects on their phase transition behaviors were observed. UV spectroscopic studies showed that the phase transition became faster with increasing NaCl concentration. In addition, the phase transition behaviors of copolymers were sensitive to pH. The pH and temperature sensitivity of these copolymers would make an interesting drug delivery system.

The effects of pH on $K^+$ currents were investigated in single smooth muscle cells isolated from the thoracic aorta of Wistar-Kyoto rats. Whole-cell $K^+$ currents were recorded in the conventional configuration of the voltage-clamp technique. Pinacidil (10uM) activated the whole-cell current and the pinacidil-activated current was completely inhibited by glibenclamide (10uM) , an inhibitor of ATP-sensitive $K^+$ channel ($K_{ATP}$ channel). Pinacidil-activated current was reversed at near the $K^+$ equilibrium potential. This current was time- and voltage-independent and reduced by elevating intracellular ATP. Pinacidil-activated current was reduced by lowering the external pH. However, alteration of internal pH has controversial effects on pinacidil-activated current. When the single cell was dialyzed with 0.1 mM ATP, alteration of internal pH had no effect on pinacidil-activated $K^+$ current. In the contrast, when the single cell was dialyzed with 3 mM ATP, pinacidil-activated current was increased by lowering internal pH. Our results suggest that $K^+$ channel activated by pinacidil may be $K_{ATP}$ channel and internal $H^+$ may reduce the inhibitory effect of ATP on $K_{ATP}$ channel.

A series of pH/temperature sensitive polymers were synthesized by copolymerizing N-isopro-pyl acrylamide(NIPAAm) and acrylic acid(AAc) . The influence of polyelectrolyte between poly(allyl amine) (PAA) and poly(L-lysine)(PLL) on the lower critical solution temperature(LCST) of pH/temperature sensitive polymer was compared in the range of pH 2∼12. The LCST of PNIPAAm/water in aqueous poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) solution was determined by cloud point measurements. A polyelectrolyte complex was prepared by mixing poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) with poly(allyl amine) (PAA) or poly(L-lysine) (PLL) solutions as anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes, respectively. The effect of polyelectrolyte complex formation on the conformation of PLL was studied as a function of temperature by means of circular dichroism(CD). The cloud points of PNIPAAm in the aqueous copolymers solutions were stongly affected by pH, the presence of polyelectrolyte solute, AAc content, and charge density. The polyelectrolyte complex was formed at neutral condition. The influence of more hydrophobic PLL as a polyelectrolyte on the cloud point of PNIPAAm in the aqueous copolymer solution was stronger than that of poly(allyl amine)(PAA). Although polymer-polymer complex was formed between poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) and PLL, the conformational change of PLL did not occur due to steric hinderance of bulky N-isopropyl groups of PNIPAAm.

We prepared natural indigo/calcium hydroxide complex powder from tinctoria's leaf, according to the demand of developing new dyeing technique of natural fibre with natural indigo. FT- IR and UV/Visible spectra were operated to find the dyeing properties of synthetic indigo and natural indigo powder. Cotton, flax and silk fabrics were dyed with different pH, dye concentration and dyeing time. The colour yield of indigo dye was quite sensitive to dye bath pH and fabric. In synthetic indigo, the highest K/S value of dyed silk fabric was shown at near pH 9.0, and which of flax and cotton fabric were shown at pH 11.0. In other hand, in the case of natural indigo complex powder, the highest K/S value of dyed silk fabric was shown at near pH 8.0, and which of flax and cotton fabric were shown at pH 9.5∼pH 10. Mercerized cotton fabric dyed with natural indigo powder has a little antimicrobial activity.

Equilibrium swelling and pH-sensitivity of a polyelectrolyte copolymer hydrogel were controlled by employing copolymers with different hydrophilic-hydrophobic balances. Model pH-sensitive hydrogels, e.g., poly(methacrylic acid), poly(methacrylic acid-co-acrylamide), poly(methacrylic acid-co-2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate), poly(methacrylic acid-co-styrene) were synthesized at various monomer compositions. As hydrophobicity of the copolymer hydrogels increased, the equilibrium swelling decreased while the pH-sensitivity increased. In the case of poly(methacrylic acid-co-acrylamide), polymer-polymer interaction significantly affected the equilibrium swelling and provided a wide range control of pH-sensitivity.

하천 오염에서 문제시되고 있는 유기오염 물질인 PCP 와 DDT의 환경기준을 평가하고 담수어 어종간의 독성에 대한 저항성을 연구하였다. 각 어종에 대하여 24, 48, 72 및 96시간의 TL sub(m) 값을 산출하였던 바 오염물질에 대한 저항성은 오염물질의 성상에 따라 상이한 양상을 보여주었다. 실험한 10종의 담수어중 PCP 및 DDT에 저항성이 약한 어종은 N. Chrysophekadion으로 96 h-TL 하(m) 값은 0.065mg/l 과 0.0044mg/l으로 각각 나타났으며 PCP에 저항성이 강한 어종은 T. nilotica로서 96 h-TL 하(m) 값은 0.264mg/l이었으나, DDT에 대해서는 C. Siamensis로서 96 h-TL 하(m) 값은 0.0133mg/l로 평가되었다.

The optical characteristics of cresol red, phenol red, and neutral red immobilized in the thin film were investigated with absorbance measurement in order to find a sensing part of a fiber-optic pH sensor. Sol-Gel method with tetramethyl orthosilicate as a precursor was used to immobilize the pH indicators in the thin film. The absorbance spectra were measured when pH indicators were immobilized in the film and were dissolved in the buffer solution. Experimental results showed that the absorbance spectra could be changed when the pH indicator is immobilized in the thin film. As compared with other pH indicators, the neutral red exhibited similar absorbance spectra regardless of physical conditions and was sensitive over whole pH range between 4 and 11. In addition, the absorbance ratio of base peak to acid peak tended to increase in proportion to the increase in pH. Experimental results indicate that the neutral red is a good pH indicator for fabrication of a sensing part of the fiber-optic pH sensor.

전분을 보호 콜로이드이자 공중합체로 사용하면서 아크릴 단량체인 뷰틸 아크릴레이트, 2-에틸 헥실 아크릴레이트, 아크릴 산을 사용하여 무유화 중합에 의해 점착제를 합성하였다. 전분의 함량이 증가할수록 점착제의 겔 함량은 증가하였고, 결과로서 전분 함량의 증가는 점착력과 유지력의 증가를 가져왔으며, 초기점착력은 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 접촉각 측정에서 점착제의 젖음성은 전분의 하이드록시 그룹에 의한 극성의 증가로 전분 함량이 증가함 따라 상승하였다. 생분해성을 간접적으로 측정하는 에멀젼의 시간에 따른 pH 측정에서 전분의 분해에 의한 유기산의 생성에 의해 전분 함량의 증가에 비례하여 pH가 감소하였다.

Properties of purified isocitrate lyase from Saccharomycopsis lipolytica ATCC 44601 and MX9-11RX8 temperature-sensitive mutant were investigated. Purified isocitrate lyase from temperature-sensitive mutant was indistinguishable from the wild type enzyme with respect to the isoelectric pH(5.3), the thermostability and Km value for threo-Ds-Isocitrate(about 0.2 mM). When isocitrate lyase induced by acetate minimal medium at 33$^{\circ}C$, MX9-11RX8 mutant did not express enzyme activity but did synthesize polypeptide chain whose electrophoretic mobilities were equal to those of the purified enzymes.

Nowadays the hydrophilic polymeric networks (polymer hydrogels) due to the complex of benefit physico-chemical properties attract a wide attention of specialists working in various fields of science, medicine and technology. The special attention of chemists is aimed on so-called stimuli-sensitive or intelligent hydrogels, which can undergo a volume phase transition in response to change in environmental parameters such as temperature, pH, solvent composition, etc [1]. Scientific group of Kazak State National University, Department of Macromolecular Chemistry works in this field [2-5]. Here we report about our achievements on pH-sensitive hydrogens.
