For the purpose of development of an effective process for purified CHMI particles, a series of experimental researches on the synthesis of CHMI from CHMAIE, purification and precipitation of CHMI were preformed. It is turned out that n-heptane reflux imidation is more beneficial than toluene put-out imidation not only to the synthesis but to the precipitation of CHMI. By washing the synthetic CHMI with cold n-heptane twice, purified CHMI with 99.7% purity could be obtained at the cost of 11.7% weight loss. And CMHI particles were effectively prepared by spouting molten CHMI through the spiral nozzle with 3 mm diameter under the pressure of $1.5{\sim}2.0kg/cm^2$.

NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase (EC 1. 6. 99. 2) was purified form S. cerevisiae. The enzyme readily reduced 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol, a quinonoid redox dye, as well as substituted benzo- and naphthoquinones, and could accept electrons from either NADH or NADPH. The purified NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase turned out to be capable of reducing nitrosoarenes as well as a variety of quinones. A chemical-trapping technique using 4-chloro-1-naphthol was used to show that the N,N-dimethyl-p-benzoquinonediiminium cation was produced in the reduction of 4-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline catalyzed by NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase.

marine bacterium Pseudomonas sp. CHCS-2 produced the biosurfactant in the culture broth which contained 2%(w/v) arabian light crude oil and the productivity of biosurfactant was increased with the addition of glucose. The crude oil in the culture broth was degraded by this strain and carbon chain of $_nC_{12}~_nC_{22}$ was completely degradaded during the incubation for 196 h. The crude biosurfactant was purified by Amberlite XAD-7, Sepharose CL-4B and DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography. Therefore, 0.21g/L of the purified biosurfactnat was obtained. The purified biosurfactant was a type of lipoprotein and the molecular weight was estimated as 67kDa by SDS-PAGE. The lipid composition was identified as octadecanoic acid by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. And then, the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the protein was determined as Ser-Val-lle-Asn-Thr-lle-X-Met-lle-Gly-Gln-Gln- and the sequence did not show homology to any other known lipoprotein. Therefore, the purified lopoprotein was predicted novel biosurfactant.

Fibrinolytic enzyme has been isolated and purified from the edible mushroom, Lepista nuda. The apparent molecular mass of purified enzyme was estimated to be 34 KDa by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was Tyr-Pro-Ser-Pro-Ser-His-Gln-Thr-Ala-Val-Asn-Ala-Ile-Ile-X. It has a pH optimum at $7.0.{\sim}9.5$, suggesting that the purified enzyme is an alkaline protease. It shows the maximum fibrinolytic activity at $55^{\circ}C$. The fibrinolytic activity was inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, indicating that the purified enzyme is a serine protease. The activity of the purified enzyme was totally inhibited by $Hg^{2+}$.

카본나노튜브는 상용되는 기존의 센서에 비해 표면적이 넓어 감도가 놀고 응답속도가 빠르다. 또한 나노 스케일의 크기를 가지므로 고직접화를 실현할 수 있으며 기능복구성이 뛰어나 상온동작을 통한 저전력화가 가능하다. 본 실험에서는 아크방전법으로 합성한 카본나노튜브를 가스센서로 제작하여 상온에서 NH$_3$, NO 가스와의 반응 특성을 평가하였다. 또한 origin soot와 이를 정제한 purified CNT를 SEM(주사전자현미경), TEM(투과전자현미경), Raman scattering spectroscopy(라만 산란 분광기)를 통해 재료적 특성을 조사하고 이를 가스 감응 곡선과 연관하여 비교, 분석하였다. 전극에 CNT막을 형성시키기 위해 3g의 N,N dimethylformamide 용액에 CNT 10mg을 분산시킨 후 2시간동안 초음파 처리하였다. 이 용액을 mask를 이용해 전극 위에 막을 형성시킨 후 20$0^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하였다. 이렇게 제조된 origin soot와 purified CNT센서는 flow system을 이용하여 측정하였고 $N_2$분위기 하에서 센서를 안정화시킨 후 측정가스와의 반응을 살펴보았다 센서의 반응속도, 회복속도, 감도 등의 측정결과 origin soot는 NH$_3$ 25ppm에서 20%, purified CNT는 1%의 감도를 보여 20배 높은 감도를 보았다. NO 25ppm의 경우에도 origin soot가 8%, purified CNT는 0.8%의 감도를 보여 10배 높은 감도를 보였다. 이는 탄소입자가 많은 origin soot가 purified CNT 보다 표면적이 넓어 보다 많은 가스 흡착 싸이트를 가지기 때문이다. 하지만 origin soot는 반응시간과 회복속도가 Purified CNT 보다 2배 이상 느려 표면적 증가에 따른 가스 흡착과 탈착 능력이 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 CNT와 가스사이의 전하 이동 방향에 따라 NH$_3$는 양의 감도를 NO는 음의 감도를 보였다 이는 전하의 이동 방향에 따라 전하와 캐리어 사이의 결합 및 해리가 일어나게 되고 결국 카본나노튜브 내의 캐리어 수를 증감시킴에 따라 나타나는 현상이다. 이러한 가스의 감도는 농도에 따라 증가하였으며 origin soot를 이용하여 1ppm이하의 NH$_3$ 가스를 검출할 수 있었다.

A bacterium producing unique antistaphylococcal substance (ASS) was isolated from soil samples. The isolated strain KUH-001 was identified to belong to Pseudomonas species from the characteristic properties of its fluorescence and cellular 3-hydroxy fatty acid composition, etc. The ASS component was purified by procedures employing activated carbon adsorption, column chromatography with silica gel, preparative TLC and HPLC. This compound could also be purified mainly by repeating of trituration and precipitation with chilled ether. Purified ASS with a m.p. value of $140~142^{\circ}C$ showed marked stability at high temperature (at $121^{\circ}C$ for 10 min) and extreme pHs (in 1N HC1 and 1N NaOH for 1 day) without significant loss of antibiotic activity. From spectral data of UV, IR, NMR, and FAB-MS, the compound was elucidated as 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide (HHQO). Under the conditions employed, HHQO exhibited a narrow antimicrobial spectrum. active particularly against Staphylococcus aureus including the methicillin resistant strain. Moreover, it did not induce resistance, and besides, interacted synergistically with certain antibiotics such as vancomycin or erythromycin.

An alkaline fibrinolytic protease-producing bacteria was isolated front Korean traditional soy sauce and identified as Bacillus subtilis K7 from the results of analyses of its morphological and physiological properties, $API^{\circledR}$, and Biolog system. The enzyme was purified by 75% ammonium sulfate fractionation, QAE-Sephadex anion and SP-Sephadex cation exchange column chromatography and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The specific activity of the purified enByme was 233.9 unit/mg protein and the yield of enzyme was 3.8%. The homogeneity of the purified enzyme was confirmed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated about 21,500 Da by SDS-polyacrylamide get electrophoresis and gel chromatography. The optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme activity were $40^{\circ}C$ and 9.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable in a pH range of 5.0 to 12.0, and 60% of its activity was lost on heat treatment at $50^{\circ}C$ for 20 min. The activity of the purified enzyme was inhibited by the presence of $Fe^{2+},\;Ag^{2+},\;Cu6{2+}$, iodoacetate, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), and trans-1,2-diaminocycloheane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (CDTA). The results indicates that the enzyme requires a metal ion for its enzymatic activity.
