  • Among dozens of DNA polymerases cloned from thermophilic bacteria, Taq DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus has been most frequently used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that is being applied to gene cloning, DNA sequencing, gene expression analysis, and detection of infectious and genetic diseases. Since native Taq DNA polymerase is expressed at low level in T. aquaticus, recombinant Escherichia coli system was used to produce Taq DNA polymerase in a large amount. Taq DNA polymerase was expressed as a soluble form under the control of tac promoter in E. coli, and purified by heat treatment and ion exchange chromatographies. The purified Taq DNA polymerase was nearly homogeneous and exhibited a similar DNA amplification activity with a commercial Taq DNA polymerase.

  • Chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) protein and mRNA levels in E. coli were determined following induction of a tac::cat construct by isopropyl-${\beta}$-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). High cat mRNA levels did not directly reflect CAT protein levels, in either shakeflask experiments or fermentations. Furthermore, concentrations of IPTG resulting in the highest levels of expression of cat mRNA, were different to those resulting in highest levels of CAT protein. The data suggest that high transcriptional activities lead to limitations at the translational level.

  • 요즘 다양한 스마트폰의 보급과 함께 스마트폰에서 활용되는 어플리케이션들이 주목 받고 있다. 그 중에 가장 활발히 어플리케이션이 개발되어 등록되어 있는 아이폰의 앱스토어는 개인 개발자들이 자발적으로 앱 개발에 참여할 수 있도록 유도하고 있다. 하지만 Xcode 라는 생소한 개발 툴을 이용하여 MacOS 라는 운영체제에서 개발을 하다 보니, 많은 기존 윈도우 기반의 스마트폰 개발자들이 아이폰 앱을 개발하는데 적지 않은 어려움이 있는 편이다. 본 논문에서는 아이폰에서 블루투스를 이용한 2 인용 대전 게임인 틱택토(Tick-tac-toe)를 C++기반으로 개발하여 그 내용을 소개한다.

  • A natural ventilating type store was designed for the economic and effective storage of citrus fruits in Jejudo. The material used for the wall is scoria, widely distributed in Jejudo and known for high strength and insulation. Design condition was chosen for the period till March of a year and the dry bulb temperature was taken from TAC $5\%$ base. The temperature of the store can be maintained below the limiting temperature of $8^{\circ}C$ for the time length of $7\frac{1}{2}$ hours under the condition of the atmospheric temp, $15.3^{\circ}C$ and the solar insolation. The limiting temperature can he recovered to the initial temperature $(7^{\circ}C)$ by the natural ventilation for 8 hours in the night.

  • The study was conducted to investigate the relationship between berry set density per bearing shoot and fruit quality in 'Kyoho' grape. Fruit quality was evaluated by soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), skin color, and total anthocyanin content (TAC). There was a sharp increase in SSC of fruit juice from veraison initiation to 30 days after veraison. The SSC level increased with the lower berry set per bearing shoot. The rapid accumulation of SSC 4 weeks after veraison in the cluster of low berry set (10-20) was observed, while that of high berry set (40-50) showed delayed and low SSC accumulation which reached only $15.0^{\circ}Bx$ at harvest. TA of fruit juice in all treatments reduced rapidly from veraison initiation to 30 days after veraison, and then reduced gradually. TA in all treatments except 50 berries set reached to 0.4-0.6% which was optimal TA in 'Kyoho' at fruit harvest. During fruit maturing after veraison, fruit skin color changed from green to purple-black, L and b value decreased, and a value increased. TAC in 10 and 20 berries set was gradually increased to 2 weeks after veraison, sharply increased until 6 weeks after veraison, and then finally decreased, while TAC in content in 30, 40, and 50 berries set per annual shoot remained at low level. The results indicated that the number of berry set for good quality seemed to be 20 per bearing shoot in 'Kyoho' grape.

  • Antioxidant anticancer activities and nitric oxide (NO) production of Vietnamese and Thai yonganyook (Euphoria longana) fermented with lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus subtilis were investigated. Total organic acid contents (TAC) of Thai raw yonganyook (473.49 mg/g, 89.2% of TAC) were higher 3.2 tims than those of Vietnamese raw yonganyook (148.48 mg/g, 86.8% of TAC) and major organic acids of two materials were formic acid and malic acid. Total free sugars contents of Vietnamese raw yonganyook (434.63 mg/g) were higher 1.2 times than those of Thai raw yonganyook (378.77 mg/g) and major free sugar of two materials welt sucrose, glucose and fructose. NO production of RAW264.7 cell treated with methanol extract of Vietnamese fermented yonganyook was shown to be a lower level than that of Thai fermented yonganyook. It's production by fermented yonganyook was strongly exhibited in low dose (0.2 mg/mL) than in high dose (1.0 mg/mL) as compared with raw yonganyook Electron-donating ability (EDA) of Vietnamese raw yonganyook ($41.72{\pm}3.59%$) at $600\;{\mu}g/assay$ was higher 1.4 times than that of Thai yonganyook ($30.20{\pm}4.8%$). EDA of Vietnamese yonganyook fermented with B. subtilis at $600\;{\mu}g/assay$ was $43.57{\pm}2.07%$ which was the highest level of all samples tested. Anticancer activity of raw yonganyook on human HeLa cell was similar to between Vietnamese and Thai yonganyook. In inhibitory effect of HepG2 cell growth, methanol extract of Thai yonganyook ($46.13{\pm}4.80%$) was higher than that of Vietnamese yonganyook ($33.07{\pm}0.92%$). Inhibitory activity of fermented yonganyook on HeLa and HepG2 cell growth were $39.21{\pm}1.46%$ and $48.07{\pm}1.63%$ when $200\;{\mu}g/assay$ of methanol extract of Vietnamese and Thai yonganyook fermented with B. subtilis were used, respectively.

  • Purpose: We intended to evaluate myocardial oxygen consumption ($MVO_2)$ by applying recirculation correction and modified one-compartment model to have a reference range of $MVO_2$ in normal young population and to reveal the effect of recirculation on time-activity curve (TAC). Materials and Methods: In nine normal male volunteers with mean age of $26.3{\pm}4.0$, $MVO_2$ was estimated with 925 MBq (25mCi) of $^{11}C$-Acetate (Neuroscience Research Institute, Gachon University of Medicine and Science, Incheon, Korea) and PET/CT (Biograph 6, Siemens Medical Solution, Germany). Analysis software such as $MATLAB^{(R)}$ v7.1 (Mathworks, Inc., United States), $Excel^{(R)}$ 2007 (Microsoft, United States), and $SPSS^{(R)}$ v12.0 (Apache Software Foundation, United States) were used. Twenty three frames were of $12{\times}10$, $5{\times}60$, $3{\times}120$, $2{\times}300's$ duration, respectively. The modified one-compartmental model and the recirculation correction method were applied. Statistical analysis was performed by using Test of Normality, ANOVA and Post-Hoc (Scheffe's) analysis, and p-value less than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: The normal reference ranges of $MVO_2$ were presented as $3.18-4.64\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;ml/g/sec$, $1.91-3.94\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;ml/g/sec$, $4.31-6.40\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;ml/g/sec$, $2.84-4.53\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;ml/g/sec$ and $3.42-5.00\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;ml/g/sec$ in the septum, the inferior wall, the lateral wall, the anterior wall and the entire wall, respectively. In addition, it was noted that the dual exponentiality of the clearance curve is due to the recirculation effect and that the characteristic of the curve is essentially mono-exponential. Conclusion: $^{11}C$-Acetate is a radiotracer worthwhile to assess $MVO_2$. Re-circulated $^{11}C$ can influence TAC of $^{11}C$ in myocadia and so the recirculation correction must be considered when measuring $MVO_2$.
