Bioequivalence of two acetyl-1-carnitine tablets, test product (Carnitile tablet: Hanmi Pharm. Co., Ltd.) and reference product (Nicetil $e^{R}$ tablet: Dong-A Pharm. Co., Ltd.), was evaluated according to the guide- lines of Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). Twenty-six healthy volunteers were divided randomly into two groups and administered the drug orally at the dose of 500 mg as acetyl-1-carnitine in a 2$\times$2 crossover study. Blood samples were taken at predetermined time intervals for 12 hours and the plasma concentration of acetyl-1-carnitine was determined using HPLC by derivatization with p-bromophenacyl bromide. The pearmacokinetic parameters (AU $C_{0-}$12h/ $C_{max}$ and $T_{max}$) were calculated and ANOVA was utilized for the statistical analysis of parameters. The apparent differences of these parameters between two drugs were less than 20% (i.e., 1.26,-5.08 and 8.59% for AU $C_{0-}$12h/ $C_{max}$ and $T_{max}$, respectively). The powers (1-$\beta$) for AU $C_{0-}$12h/ $C_{max}$ and $T_{max}$, and Tmax were over 0.9. Minimal detectable difference ($\Delta$) at $\alpha$=0.05, 1-$\beta$=0.8 were less than 20% (i.e.,7.31, 14.88 and 11.77% for AU $C_{0-}$12h/ $C_{max}$ and $T_{max}$, respectively). The confidence intervals ($\delta$) for these parameters were also within $\pm$ 20% (i.e.,-3.03$\leq$$\delta$$\leq$5.54, -13.80$\leq$$\delta$$\leq$3.64 and 1.69$\leq$$\delta$$\leq$15.48 for AU $C_{0-}$12h/ $C_{max}$ and $T_{max}$, respectively). These results satisfied the criteria of KFDA guideline for bioequivalence, indicating Carnitile bioequivalent to Nicetil $e^{R}$ .TEX>$^{R}$ .> R/ . R/ .

With an emphasis on its thermal behavior with different pHs and salts, the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the purified polygalacturonase (PG) from E. carotovora subsp. carotovora (Ecc) BR1 were studied, as the characterization of an enzyme is significant in the context of burgeoning biotechnological applications. The thermodynamic parameters for polygalacturonic acid hydrolysis by the purified PG were ${\Delta}H^*$=7.98 kJ/mol, ${\Delta}G^*$=68.86 kJ/mol, ${\Delta}S^*$=-194.48 J/mol/K, ${\Delta}G_{E-S}$=-1.04 kJ/mol, and ${\Delta}G_{E-T}$=-8.96 kJ/mol. In addition, its turnover number ($k_{cat}$) was 21/sec. The purified PG was stable within a temperature range of $20-50^{\circ}C$ and was deactivated at $60^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$. The thermodynamic parameters (${\Delta}H^*$, ${\Delta}G^*$, ${\Delta}S^*$) for the irreversible inactivation of the PG at different temperatures ($30-60^{\circ}C$) were determined, where the effectiveness of various salts and different pHs (4-8) for the thermal stability of the PG were also characterized. The efficacy of various salts for the thermal stability of the PG was in the following order: $MgCl_2$ > $BaCl_2$ > KCl > $CaCl_2$ >NaCl. Therefore, the present work presents the biochemical, substrate hydrolysis thermodynamics and the thermal stabilization parameters of the PG from Ecc.

The authors investigated the photoluminescence (PL) and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) from an magnesium (Mg)-doped GaN thin film with a delta-doped layer. The regularly doped sample shows a PL peak at 2.776 eV for the as-grown sample, and the peak shifts to 2.904 eV and increases in intensity for the annealed sample. The delta-doped sample also shows the same PL peak as does the regularly doped sample. However, only the annealed delta-doped layer shows a sharp EPR with a small isotropic Lande g-factor, $g_{II}$, of 2.029. This resonance is attributed to the delta-doped layer, which forms a hole-bound Mg-N atomic structure instead of the $Mg_{Ga}-V_N$ defect complex, indicating that the delta-doped sample was not optically activated to form PL centers but was instead electrically activated to form a hole-bound state.

Let M be a connected n-dimensional submanifold of a Euclidean space $E^{n+k}$ equipped with the induced metric and ${\Delta}$ its Laplacian. If the position vector x of M is decomposed as a sum of three vectors $x=x_1+x_2+x_0$ where two vectors $x_1$ and $x_2$ are non-constant eigenvectors of the Laplacian, i.e., ${\Delta}x_i={\lambda}_ix_i$, i = 1, 2 (${\lambda}_i{\in}R$) and $x_0$ is a constant vector, then, M is called a 2-type submanifold. In this paper we proved that a connected 2-type hypersurface M in $E^{n+1}$ whose postion vector x satisfies ${\langle}{\Delta}x,x-x_0{\rangle}=c$ for a constant c, where ${\langle}$, ${\rangle}$ is the usual inner product in $E^{n+1}$, is of null 2-type and has constant mean curvature and scalar curvature.

Perceptibility and acceptability are the most often used threshold units in the field of color science. The former refers to a just perceptible difference and the latter evokes a tolerable color difference. Such thresholds can be very significant to color quality control processes in the printing industry and should be defined in quality measure units. Optical density (OD) and color difference models are usually utilized as color quality measures and have been provided in a considerable number of commercial measuring devices such as spectrophotometers. However, their merits and traits are far less understood in the literature. The present study intends to evaluate performance of those color quality measures including the OD and widely known color difference models, e.g. ${\Delta}E{^*}_{ab}$, ${\Delta}E_{CMC(l:c)}$ and ${\Delta}E{^*}_{00}$. A set of psychophysical assessments were carried out in order to accumulate the perceptibility and acceptability thresholds data, and their central trend was compared with the color quality measure estimates.

A modified E. coli trp operon, $trpL({\Delta}att)\;trpE^{FBR}$, was conjugally transfered into Klebsiella pneumoniae $KC_{100}\;(Phe^-,\;Tyr^-,\;Trp^-,\;Rif^r,\;Kam^r)$ by in vivo cloning using the hybrid plasmid $R_{6}K::$ Mucts 61 with a transfer frequency of $5.2{\times}10^{-7}$. Two K. pneumoniae transconjugants, $KUA_{701}\;and\;KUA_{702}$, were isolated. The characters of attenuation control-free and resistance to feedback-inhibition which are characteristics of donor C. coli trp operon were normally expressed in the $KUA_{701}.\;However,\;KUA_{702}$ retained only the feedback-inhibition resistant character. $Trp^+$ phenotype and ampicillin resistant character were completely stable in the transconjugants, but streptomycin resistant character was lost in the transconjugants.

Although ureases play important roles in microbial nitrogen metabolism and in the pathogenesis of several human diseases, little is known of the mechanism of metallocenter biosynthesis in this Ni-Containing enzyme. Klebsiella aerogenes urease apo-protein was purified from cells grown in the absence of Ni. The purified apo-enzyme showed the same native molecular weight, charge, and subunit stoichiometry as the holo-enzyme. Chemical modification studies were consistent with histidinyl ligation of Ni. Apo-enzyme could not be activated by simple addition of Ni ions suggesting a requirement for a cellular factor. Deletion analysis showed that four accessory genes (ureD, ureE, ureF, and ureG) are necessary for the functional incorporation of the urease metallocenter. Whereas the $\Delta$ureD, $\Delta$ureF, and $\Delta$ureG mutants are inactive and their ureases lack Ni, the $\Delta$ureE mutants retain partial activity and their ureases possess corresponding lower levels of Ni. UreE and UreG peptides were identified by SDS-polyacrylamide gel comparisons of mutant and wild type cells and by N-terminal sequencing. UreD and UreF peptides, which are synthesized at ve교 low levels, were identified by using in vitro transcription/translation methods. Cotransformation of E. coli cells with the complementing plasmids confirmed that ureD and ureF gene products act in trans. UreE was purified and characterized. immunogold electron microscopic studies were used to localize UreE to the cytoplasm. Equilibrium dialysis studies of purified UreE with $^{63}$ NiC1$_2$ showed that it binds ～6 Ni in a specific manner with a $K_{d}$ of 9.6 $\pm$1.3 $\mu$M. Results from spectroscopic studies demonstrated that Ni ions are ligated by 5 histidinyl residues and a sixth N or O atom, consistent with participation of the polyhistidine tail at the carboxyl termini of the dimeric UreE in Ni binding. With these results and other known features of the urease-related gene products, a model for urease metallocenter biosynthesis is proposed in which UreE binds Ni and acts as a Ni donor to the urease apo-protein while UreG binds ATP and couples its Hydrolysis to the Ni incorporation process.ouples its Hydrolysis to the Ni incorporation process.s.

AlSb는 광전자 소자응용에 매우 유용한 재료이며 이를 이용한 반도체소자 설계 및 밴드갭 엔지니어링을 위해서는 화합물 반도체의 전자밴드구조를 포함한 광학적 특성이 반드시 요구된다. 본 연구는 이러한 요구의 해결방안으로서 AlSb 화합물의 유전함수 온도의존성을 0.7~5.0 eV의 에너지 영역에서 타원편광분석법을 이용하여 분석하였다. AlSb는 산소와 급격히 반응하기 때문에, 대기 중에서 물질 고유의 광특성이 유지되기 어려울 뿐만 아니라, 박막 위에 생성되는 산화막 때문에 순수한 AlSb의 유전함수 측정이 불가능하다. 따라서 박막의 산화 효과를 최소화하기 위하여 초고진공 상태의 molecular beam epitaxy 챔버 안에서 800 K의 온도로 성장한 1.5 ${\mu}m$ 두께의 AlSb 박막을 상온 300 K 까지 온도를 단계적으로 변화시켜가며 타원편광분석기를 이용하여 실시간으로 측정하였다. 각 온도에서 측정된 AlSb의 유전함수를 2차 미분하여 전이점(critical point)을 분석한 결과 $E_0$, $E_0+{\Delta}_0$, $E_1$, $E_1+{\Delta}_1$, $E_0'$, $E_0'+{\Delta}_0'$, $E_2$, $E_2+{\Delta}_2$에 해당하는 각 전이점들의 온도 의존성을 확인할 수 있었다. 실험에서 측정된 특정 온도를 포함하여 임의의 온도에서의 AlSb의 유전함수를 유도하기 위하여 변수화모델을 사용하였고 이를 통하여 각 변수들의 온도 의존 궤적을 분석하였다. 2차 미분법을 이용한 전이점들의 온도의존성 분석결과를 기준으로 변수화 모델링을 진행하였으며 그 결과 각 온도에서 실제 유전함수와 근소한 차이를 갖는 AlSb의 유전함수 모델을 만들 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 반도체 물성에 대한 학술적 측면뿐 아니라 고온에서의 소자공정 실시간 모니터링 및 반도체 소자 설계 등의 산업적 측면에서 매우 유용하게 사용될 것으로 기대된다.
