Functional study of the gap junction channel has been hindered by its inaccessibility in situ. Identification of forms of this channel in artificial membrane has been elusive because of the lack of identifying channel physiology. Connexin32 forms gap junction channels between neighboring cells in rat liver. Connexin32 was affinity-purified using a monoclonal antibody and reconstituted into artificial phospholipid vesicles. The reconstituted connexin32 formed channels through the vesicle membrane that were permeable to sucrose (Stokes radius: $5{\AA}$). The permeability to sucrose was reversibly reduced by acidic pH. In addition, the pH effect on the permeability to sucrose fit well with by the Hill's equation (where, n=2.7 and pK=6.7).

A novel drug delivery system, detergent-phospholipid mixed micelles as proliposomes, for water-insoluble compounds was developed by investigating (i) spontaneous formation of small unilamellar vesicles (SUV) from bile salt-egg phosphatidylcholine mixed micelles, (ii) the molecular mechanism of micelle-to-vesicle transition in aqueous mixtures of detergent-phospholipid, (iii) preparation and screening of a suitable liposomal formulation for a lipophilic drug: solubilization of the drug within the lipid bilayer, evaluation of the solubility limit, and characterization of the resulting product with respect to the physical properties and stability of the drug in the system, and (iv) testing antitumor activity in vitro. The results showed that the new carrier had a strong possibility to be a biocompatible universal formulation for water-insoluble drugs.

Successful techniques of in vitro fertilization(IVF) are valuable for studying the process of fertilization and for developing economical procedures for gene and nuclear transfer in farm animals. To date, bovine IVF system has been developed with oocytes in vitro or vitro, but the resulting zygotes exhibit limited embryonic development after in vitro culture. Even though in vitro matured oocytes achieved high fertilization and cleavage rates, these embryos appear extremly low rate of pregnancies when transferred to synchronized recipients. Development of early bovine embryos in vitro is generally arrested at the 8-to 16-cell stage. However, recent use of somatic cells such as trophoblastic vesicle, granulosa and oviduct epithelial cell for co-culture with early bovine embryos has proven effective for development of embryos, matured and fertilized in vitro, past the in vitro cell blocks. These factors clearly indicate the value of the co-culture system in promoting development of bovine oocytes matured and fertilized in vitro to morula or blastocyst stage in vitro. In addition, co-culture system may beome a tool for evaluation of viability of ova that have been manipulated by procedures such as splitting, microinjection and nuclear transfer.

The excess volumes of mixing of benzyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, halothane, and procaine in vesicle and suspensions of several lipids have been determined at $25^{\circ}C$ using a excess volume dilatometer. The potency of general anesthetics has long been known to be correlated with lipid solubility. Denaturations of the bacteriorhodopsin, which is a sole membrane protein in the purple membrane of Halobacteriun Halobium, were studied by UV/Vis absorption changes. The excess volumes of mixing of benzyl alcohol and procaine in egg lecithin were all found to be negative and this result was confirmed as Miller's supposition.

Syndecan-4 cytoplasmic domain was tested to confirm the interactions with the bilayer membrane using $^{31}P$ solid-state NMR measurements. Syndecan-4 was known as a coreceptor with integrins in the cell adhesion. The syndecan-4 V region is not understood of its functional roles and tested its ability of the interaction with multilamellar vesicles. The $^{31}P$ powder pattern was dramatically changed and showed isotropic peak which imply the bilayer membrane changed its topology to the micelle-like structure. Especially, phosphatidylcholine membrane was affected this effect more than phosphatidylethanolamine membrane.

[ $^{31}P$ ] powder pattern spectra were measured to investigate the aspects of the interaction between the MLV (Multilamellar vesicle) and PMAP-23, a membrane of cathelicidin family and then CSAs(chemical shift anisotropy) were calculated to indentify the extent of perturbation of phospholipid mobility by the peptides. We found that acidic phospholipid interacts strongly with PMAP-23, and the analogues which modified to increase the amphipathic property showed that larger change of CSA. The analogue which introduced positive charge showed the same effects with amphipathic property.

To investigate the effect of ginseng extracts on the changes of flllidity and lysis of liposome reverse phase evaporation vesicle (REV) was employed as model membrane and methylene blue was used as photosensitizer. Fluoresence polarization (P vaule) that represented fluidity of liposome was increased by photooxidation. All of the ginseng saponin inhibited the increasing rate of P value; the order of effect was ginseng water extract>biol saponin>triol saponin>crude saponin. In trapped G-6-P% measurement for lysis of liposome, ginseng water extract and crude saponin promoted the lysis of liposome. Therefore, we thought that ginseng extracts acted as both antioxidant and detergent.

自記放射法을 이용하여 dbcAMP와 theophylline이 未成熟卵子의 RNA合成에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 培養中인 未成熟卵子의 RNA合成은 dbcAMP와 theophylline에 의하여 抑制를 받았다. dbcAMP나 theophylline은 培養液(modified Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate solution)內에 100 $\\mu$g/ml 정도 들어 있으며 핵막(germinal vesicle)의 붕괴 되지 못하고 그대로 存在하며 그동안의 RNA合成은 극히 억제된 채로 남아 있다. 그러나 培養을 시작하여 2$\\sim$3時間後, 즉 핵막붕괴가 끝난 다음에 이들 억제물질을 배양액에 添加하면 正常卵子와 같이 성숙분열이나 RNA合成이 억제 됨이 없이 진행된다. 24時間동안 dbcAMP나 theophylline으로 성숙이 억제 되었던 卵子도 이들 억제물질을 제거하면 즉시 成熟分裂이 진행되며 RNA合成도 正常的으로 일어난다. 이런 結果로 미루어 dbcAMP등의 RNA合成 抑制機作에 한 가지 가능성을 추측할 수 있다. 즉 dbcAMP나 theophylline의 처리에 의해 細胞質內 cAMP의 농도가 높아지고 이 cAMP는 핵막붕괴나 染色質의 응집에 관여하는 단백질 合成을 誘導할 mRNA合成을 억제하며 이 때문에 卵子는 핵을 보유한채 그대로 남아 있는 것이다.

We immobilized and patterned PDA vesicles on solid substrate using micro arrayer, which have moieties to react with chemical and biological materials. Immobilized vesicle system was developed since it possesses many advantages in multiple screening, durable stability, and higher sensitivity. We applied polydiacetylene supramolecules to chemical and biological sensors for detection of ${\alpha}-cyclodextrin$ and E.coli cell selectively. This detection method could be applied as DNA chip, protein chip, and cell chip for multiple screening as well as chemical sensor by modifying the functional groups of diacetylene monomer.

Eight species of bithyniids, Bithynia leachi, B. tentaculata, B. siamensis, B. misella, B. kiusiuensis, B. striatula, Bithynia sp. from Nepal and Gabbia australis were collected from 1957 to 1988. The samples were relaxed with pentobarbital and fixed with 70% ethyl alcohol. There was no significant difference in internal structure of soft body, except the male reproductive system. The alimentary canal of the bithyniids consisted of mouth, buccal mass, esophagus, stomach, intestine, rectum and anus. The heart consisted of an auricle and a ventricle, located at left side of the stomach in the visceral hump. The ctenidium comprised 40-70 subtriangular lamellae. Eight ganglia were located around upper esophagus. The female reproductive system comprised ovary, oviduct, spermaaheca, and albumin gland. The male reproductive system was composed of testis, seminal vesicle, prostate gland, vas deferens, penial duct, and penis in order. Male was distinguished externally from the female by a bifid penis.
