Background: The development of a vaccine for Jembrana disease is needed to prevent losses in Indonesia's Bali cattle industry. A DNA vaccine model (pEGFP-C1-tat) that requires a functional delivery system will be developed. Polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) may have potential as a delivery system for the vaccine model. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the in vitro potential of PLGA as a delivery system for pEGFP-C1-tat. Methods: Consensus and codon optimization for the tat gene was completed using a bioinformatic method, and the product was inserted into a pEGFP-C1 vector. Cloning of the pEGFP-C1-tat was successfully performed, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction analysis confirmed DNA isolation. PLGA-pEGFP-C1-tat solutions were prepared for encapsulated formulation testing, physicochemical characterization, stability testing with DNase I, and cytotoxicity testing. The PLGA-pEGFP-C1-tat solutions were transfected in HeLa cells, and gene expression was observed by fluorescent microscopy and real-time PCR. Results: The successful acquisition of transformant bacteria was confirmed by PCR. The PLGA:DNA:polyvinyl alcohol ratio formulation with optimal encapsulation was 4%:0.5%:2%, physicochemical characterization of PLGA revealed a polydispersity index value of 0.246, a particle size of 925 nm, and a zeta potential value of -2.31 mV. PLGA succeeded in protecting pEGFP-C1-tat from enzymatic degradation, and the percentage viability from the cytotoxicity test of PLGA-pEGFP-C1-tat was 98.03%. The PLGA-pEGFP-C1-tat demonstrated luminescence of the EGFP-tat fusion protein and mRNA transcription was detected. Conclusions: PLGA has good potential as a delivery system for pEGFP-C1-tat.

The possibility of collision of two particles slowly settling one after another in water can be described using the collision efficiency factor in differential sedimentation (${\alpha}_{DS}$). ${\alpha}_{DS}$ was found to be a function of several parameters particle size, particle size ratio, Hamaker constant, density of liquid and particle, gravity acceleration. Previous researches were limited to the case when there is no electric repulsion assuming that the suspension is destabilized. In this paper, ${\alpha}_{DS}$ is calculated for the stabilized condition. The relative trajectory of two particles are calculated including hydrodynamics, attraction and repulsion forces. Ionic strength and surface potential significantly affect the collision possibility of two settling particles. Depending on the surface potential and ionic strength, ${\alpha}_{DS}$ value is divided into three regions; stable, unstable and transition zone. ${\alpha}_{DS}$ increases as the ionic strength increases, and as the surface charge decreases. This result can be used to model both destabilized and stabilized suspension incorporating the collision efficiency factors of the other coagulant mechanisms such as fluid shear and Browian motion.

This work investigated the influence of concentration and applied potential on the characteristics of zinc powder (purity, apparent density, morphology, particle size distribution, and particle zeta potential) produced by the electrochemical process from waste brass. High-purity zinc powder is obtained using selective leaching of industrial brass waste in acidic, neutral, and alkaline solutions. The free immersion method with and without voltage using linear polarization technique is used. In the electrochemical process, hydrochloric acid HCl in three different concentrations (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) M is used. The time and the distance between the electrodes are set to be 30 min and 3 cm, respectively. It has been found that the percentage purity is 98%, 96%, and 94% for the acidic, neutral, and alkaline solutions, respectively. In addition, the morphology of zinc powder analyzed by SEM was dendritic and mossy. It has been recorded that the purity of zinc increases with the increase of the concentration and applied potential. The highest value of purity for zinc powder was %98.58 in 1000 mV and 0.3M concentration for graphite cathode.

본 연구에서는 홍삼농축액의 유화특성을 조사하였다. 먼저, 홍삼농축액의 표면활성능을 조사하였으며, 이어서 홍삼농축액 유화액을 제조하고 이의 이화학적 성질을 조사하였다. 홍삼농축액의 물/기름 계면에서 계면장력은 홍삼농축액 농도의 증가와 더불어 감소하였다. 홍삼농축액을 이용하여 유화액을 제조한 결과, 첨가 농도의 증가와 더불어 유화 지방구 크기는 감소하였으며, 홍삼농축액 농도가 3.5 wt% 이상일 경우 일정한 지방구 크기($d_{43}$ ≒ $0.39{\mu}m$)의 안정한 유화액을 형성하였고, separation analyzer($LUMiFuge^{(R)}$)를 이용한 유화안정도 평가 결과에서도 이와 유사한 안정도 변화 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 홍삼농축액 유화액 중 지방구 크기는 pH 및 NaCl 농도변화에 의존하였는데, pH가 감소함에 따라 지방구 크기는 증가하고 음의 제타전위 값[-67.0 mV (pH 9.0) ${\rightarrow$ + 2.1 mV (pH 2.0)]은 낮아지는 경향을 보였으며, NaCl 농도(0.1 M ${\rightarrow$ 0.5 M)가 높을수록 지방구 크기는 증가하였다. 본 실험을 통해 홍삼농축액의 유화능을 확인할 수 있었다.

반도체 집적회로의 고집적화 및 고성능화를 위한 기본 소자(MOSFET)의 미세화 및 단위공정의 물리적 한계를 극복하기 위해 기존의 Top-down 방식에서 buttom-up 방식의 공정에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중 nanoparticles를 이용한 나노소자 제작 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이러한 nanoparticles를 이용한 나노소자의 제작에 있어서 원하는 위치에 nanoparticles를 배열하고 정렬하는데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 자기조립 특성을 가지고 있는 DNA분자와 기능화를 통하여 표면에 positive charge를 띄고있는 Gold nanoparticles를 상호결합 시키는 실험을 하였다. Au-DNA nanowire는 backbone에 있는 phosphate부분에서 negative charge를 띠고 있는 DNA와 positive charge를 띠고 있는 Gold nanoparticles가 결합하는 원리로 형성된다. 그렇지만 Gold particles를 표면이 아닌 DNA에만 붙이는 것은 아직 해결해야 할 부분으로 남아있다. 본 연구에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 pH 조절을 통하여 기능화된 Gold particles의 charge의 변화를 주고 이를 Zeta potential 측정기로 측정한 후에 이 particles와 DNA를 결합시켜서 FE-SEM과 AFM 으로 확인하는 실험을 하였다.

Modified titanate nanotubes (TNT) were tested for their adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from water solutions. They were obtained from the $TiO_2$ nanopowder using a standard alkaline hydrothermal method but in the stage of acid washing, when the titanate flakes begin to roll into nanotubes, magnetite nanoparticles were added. The $Fe_3O_4$ magnetic nanoparticles with diameter of around 2 nm and 12 nm were used in the tests. Significantly stronger adsorption of MB was observed when smaller nanoparticles were used compared to using larger nanoparticles and compared to the case of unmodified nanotubes. It was shown that the increased adsorption of MB is associated with a more negative value of ${\zeta}$-potential for titanates modified by the ultra-small nanoparticles. In the adsorption experiment, pH 7 was selected. These results may prove to be of great importance in the case of potential applications corresponding to the use of such material for wastewater purification.

The insecticidal efficiency of orange (Citrus sinensis) peel essential oil (OP-EO) is limited because of its low stability under environmental conditions. Nanoemulsion formulations show promise in overcoming this limitation. Therefore, this study aimed to formulate and characterize the OP-EO nanoemulsion form (OP-EON) and investigate its insecticidal properties against two significant storage pests, Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius, 1792), and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst, 1797). The OP-EON (4:3:3:90 w/w, EO: Tween 80: Ethanol: water) was successfully created using an ultrasonic homogenizer. The major chemical components of the OP-EO were determined to be D-limonene (87.93%), myrcene (3.62%), and α-pinene (1.34%) through GC-MS analysis. The OP-EON was characterized using TEM (50-100 nm), Zeta sizer (the mean droplet particle size of 58.60 nm, the ζ-potential value of -12.6 mV, and the polydispersity index of 0.486), and FT-IR analysis. After 7 days, exposure to 500 ppm of the OP-EON resulted in 50% and 30% mortality rates in R. dominica and T. castaneum, respectively. Exposure to 1000 ppm of OP-EON resulted in 90% and 55% mortality in R. dominica and T. castaneum, respectively, after 7 days. Overall, these results clearly showed the potential to exceed the limits of the insecticidal activity of the OP-EO with its nanoemulsion form.

For the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, chiral alcohols are useful intermediates. Among them, (R)-ethyl-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate ((R)-ECHB) is an important building block for the synthesis of L-carnitine. (R)-ECHB is produced from ethyl-4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (ECOB) by a reductase-mediated, enantioselective reduction reaction. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae YOL151W reductase that is expressed in Escherichia coli cells exhibited an enantioselective reduction reaction toward ECOB. By virtue of the C-terminal His-tag, the YOL151W reductase was purified from the cell-free extract using Ni²⁺-NTA column chromatography and immobilized onto Ni²⁺-magnetic microparticles. The physical properties of the immobilized reductase (Imm-Red) were measured using electron microscopy, a magnetic property measurement system, and a zeta potential system; the average size of the particles was approximately 1 μm and the saturated magnetic value was 31.76 emu/g. A neodymium magnet was used to recover the immobilized enzyme within 2 min. The Imm-Red showed an optimum temperature at 45℃ and an optimum pH at 6.0. In addition, Bacillus megaterium glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) was produced in the E. coli cells and was used in the coupling reaction to regenerate the NADPH cofactor. The reduction/oxidation coupling reaction composed of the Imm-Red and GDH converted 20 mM ECOB exclusively into (R)-ECHB with an e.e._p value of 98%.

공작석의 부선에 적합한 포수제를 규명하기 위하여 각종 포수제의 종류에 따른 공작석의 부유선별 특성을 연구하였다. 공작석의 제타전위를 측정한 결과, 공작석의 등전점은 약 pH 8.2로, 등전점 이상의 pH에서는 공작석의 표면이 음(-)으로 하전되고, 등전점 이하에서는 양(+)으로 하전됨을 확인하였다. 공작석은 음이온 포수제인 sodium oleate와 Aeropromoter 845에 의해서 pH 5~11의 범위에서 97%이상 부유되었다. 그러나 alkyl hydroxamate 및 양이온 포수제인 dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride와 dodecyl ethyl methyl ammonium chloride에 의해서는 pH 5 이상에서 첨가량에 관계없이 15%미만으로 부유되었다. 공작석을 $(NH_4)_2S$로 황화처리한 후 potassium amyl xanthate로 부선하였을 때, 공작석은 97%이상 부유되었다. 이때 황화처리하지 않았을 때 보다 potassium amyl xanthate의 첨가량이 1/3 정도 적어졌고, 부선시간도 단축되었다. 따라서 공작석의 부선에 적합한 포수제는 potassium amyl xanthate와 음이온 포수제인 sodium oleate 및 Aeropromoter 845이었다.
