Quantitative analysis of 5-hydroxymethylfufural (5-HMF) conversion from fructose by dehydration and rearrangement was investigated by $^1H$-NMR spectroscopic method. Fructose was converted to 5-HMF in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)-$d^6$ or acidic deuterium hydroxide at controlled reaction temperature and time. With addition of internal standards (biphenyl for DMSO-$d^6$ solvent, and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid for deuterium oxide solvent), conversion from fructose to 5-HMF was analyzed by $^1H$-NMR spectroscopy. Quantitative analysis was run by comparison with peak area integration between of 5-HMF and internal standard. In DMSO solvent, 5-HMF was stable end product but part of 5-HMF was converted to formic and levulinic acid at acidic aqueous medium.

The PdO nanoparticle with large surface area was selected to solve the environmental pollution problem at fire range caused by high energy explosives research department explosive (RDX) and high melting explosive (HMX). By simulating water pollution, RDX and HMX nitramine explosives were dissolved in water, followed by the degradation reaction at 313 K by adding PdO. In order to measure the degradation reaction rate of explosives, ¹H NMR was used, which can monitor the reaction rate without losing sample during reaction, and observe the progress of the reaction through the spectrum. The results showed that the degradation of RDX and HMX by PdO nanoparticles are pseudo-first order reaction. The degradation of explosives compounds were observed via the chemical shift and peak intensity analysis of NMR peaks. The measured rate constants for these reactions of RDX and HMX were 2.10 × 10^-2 and 6.35 × 10^-4 h^-1, respectively. This study showed that the application of PdO nanoparticles for explosives degradation is a feasible option.

A novel flavonol trisulphate, quercetin 7-methyl ether $3,3',4'-tri-O-KSO_3$ was isolated from the fresh leaves of Tamarix amplexicaulis (Tamaricaceae) along with the known flavonol mono sulphates, quercetin $3-O-KSO_3$ and quercetin 4'-methyl ether $3-O-KSO_3$. Structures were achieved through conventional analytical methods, including electrophoretic analysis and confirmed by FAB-MS and NMR spectroscopy.

The mode of transglycosylation reaction observed during the action of low-molecular-weigh $\beta$-D-glucosidase ($\beta$-D-glucoside glucohydrolase, EC3.2.1.21) purified from Trichoderma koningii ATCC 26113 was investigated using $^{1}H$-NMR spectroscopy. The enzyme was purified by the series of procedures including ammonium sulfate precipitation, and fractionations by column chromatographies on Bio-Gel P-150, DEAE-Sephadex A-50, and SP-Sephadex C-50. The final purification was performed by the band eluation after preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme showed its molecular size of 78,000 through the analysis of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its isoelectric point of 5.80 through the analysis of analytical isoelectric focusing. The H-1 proton resonances were analyzed. After the reaction of the enzyme with cellobiose, the reaction products were separated by high performance liquid chromatography using refractive index detector. H-1 resonances of the products were consisted with those of gentiobiose [$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl--(1,6)-D-glucopyranose], and cellotriose [$\beta$-D glucopyranosyl-(1,4)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl]-(1,4)-D-glucopyranose] with minor resonances of sophorose [$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl-(1,2)-D-glucopyranose], respectively.

Novel pH-sensitive moieties containing an s-triazine ring were synthesized with sulfonamide and secondary amino groups. The synthesized pH-sensitive moieties were used for the synthesis of a pH-sensitive amphiphilic ABA triblock copolymer. The pH-sensitive triblock copolymer was composed of diblock copolymers, methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-poly ($\varepsilon$-caprolactone-co-D,L-lactide) (MPEG-PCLA), and pH-sensitive moiety. These copolymers could be dissolved molecularly in both acidic and basic aqueous media at room temperature due to secondary amino and sulfonamide groups. The synthesized s-triazine rings containing pH-sensitive compounds were characterized by ${^1}H-NMR,\;{^13}C-NMR$, and LC/MSD spectral data. The synthesized diblock and triblock copolymers were also characterized by ${^1}H-NMR$ and GPC analyses. The critical micelle concentrations at various pH conditions were determined by fluorescence technique using pyrene as a probe. Furthermore, the micellization and demicellization study of the triblock copolymer was done with pH-sensitive groups. The sensitivity towards pH change was further established by acid-base titration.

Salidroside was isolated and purified from R. sachalinensis A. Bor. roots. Purified salidroside was obtained from repeated silicagel column chromatography and preparative HPLC, and identified by $^1H-NMR,\;^{13}C-NMR\;and\;^1H-^1H$ COSY spectra analyzer. Callus induction and cell suspension from R. sachalinensis leaf segments were established on 1/2MS solid medium and in $2B_5$ liquid medium containing 0.5 mg/l NAA and 1 mg/l, BA in the dark condition, respectively. The contents of salidroside for suspension culture were ranging from 0.12% to 0.41% in comparison with 0.17% for natural roots.

INtegrase Interactor 1 protein (INI1/hSNF5) or BRG1-associated factor 47 (BAF47) is a SWI/SNF-related matrix associated actin dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily B member. DNA binding domain of INI1/hSNF5 is cloned into E.coli expression vectors, pET32a and purified as a monomer using size exclusion chromatography. NMR data show that $INI1^{DBD}$ has folded state with high population of ${\alpha}$-helices. By fluorescence-quenching experiments, binding affinities between $INI1^{DBD}$ and two double stranded DNA fragments were determined as $29.9{\pm}2.6{\mu}M$ (GAL4_1) and $258.7{\pm}5.8$ (GAL4_2) ${\mu}M$, respectively. Our data revealed that DNA binding domain of INI1/hSNF5 binds to transcriptional DNA sequences, and it could play an important role as a transcriptional regulator.

For a case study of suspected paraquat intoxication, we developed a simple and rapid method of $^1H$ qNMR to determine the mili-molar amount of paraquat in postmortem blood samples. There were no interfering signals from endogenous compounds in the chemical shift of paraquat and diquat (internal standard). The amount of sample used ranged from 0.25 mM to 10.0 mM. Diquat, which has similar physicochemical properties with paraquat, was chosen as an internal standard. The NMR experimental conditions, relaxation delay time and CPMG spin-echo pulse sequence were optimized. The developed method was validated in terms of specificity, accuracy, precision, matrix effect, recovery, limit of detection (LOD), and low limit of quantification (LLOQ). The proposed qNMR method provided a simple and rapid assay for the identification and quantification of the quaternary ammonium herbicide, "paraquat" in postmortem blood samples. This method was tested by using the blood from the heart of a man who was intoxicated with paraquat. In this particular case, the level of paraquat was 1.07 mM in the blood. For the determination of quaternary ammonium herbicides, qNMR could also be used to provide a better understanding of the currently available techniques.

The bark of Populus alba ${\times}$ glandulosa was collected, air-dried and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone. Then it was successively partitioned with n-hexane, $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc and $H_2O$. Repeated Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and preparative TLC on the EtOAc soluble fraction gave a grandidentatin isomer. The structure was elucidated as grandidentatin A (cis-2-hydroxycyclohexyl 6-O-p-coumaroyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside) on the basis of spectroscopic evidences such as $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR, 2D-NMR and MALDI TOF-MS spectrum followed by acid hydrolysis. Grandidentatin A was identified here for the first time in Populus alba ${\times}$ glandulosa bark, and to the bset of our knowledge it has not been reported in any other literature.
