The role of hydrophobic residues on protein folding reaction was studied by folding kinetics measurements in conjunction with protein engineering. The HubWA, which was derived from human ubiquitin by mutating the residues at 45 (Phe to Trp) and 26 (Val to Ala), was used as a mutational background. Fourteen hydrophobic residues were mutated to alanine. Among fourteen variants generated, only four variant proteins (V5A, I13A, V17A, and I36A) were suitable for folding study. The folding kinetics of these variants was measured by stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy. The folding kinetics of HubWA and V17A was observed to follow a three-state on-pathway mechanism. On the other hand, folding kinetics of V5A, I13A, and I36A was observed to follow a two-state mechanism. Based on these observations, transition of protein folding reaction from collision-diffusion mechanism to nucleation-condensation mechanism was discussed.

Recently, research on carbon adsorbents has been active as an interest in improving the environment such as indoor and outdoor air quality. Considering that causative substances deteriorate the air quality are basically volatile organic compounds, it is important to improve the hydrophobicity of the carbon materials for better removal efficiency. This study presents a method for improving hydrophobicity of carbon and a measurement of the hydrophobicity. Generally, methods of improving the hydrophobicity of carbon materials are heat treatment, acid/alkali treatment, coating and immersion with hydrophobic materials. However, it collapses the pore structure and reduces the adsorption capacity. Therefore, this study briefly introduce not only the general method for improving carbon materials' hydrophobicity but also the method for converting the precursor of the material is briefly introduced. Futhermore, this study introduces a analytical technique used to determine hydrophobic modification or not, and aims to enhance the understanding of carbon materials.

In patients with multiple missing molars, wear patterns or displacement of anterior teeth, collapsed occlusal plane, and reduction in vertical dimension may occur. Particularly, in case of a few remaining teeth on one side, a removable partial denture has biomechanical disadvantage. For this reason, an implant-assisted removable partial denture with a few implant surveyed crowns can be an alternative. In this case, due to the right mandibular posterior teeth loss, the anterior teeth were severely worn and the occlusal plane was collapsed. With minimal increasing vertical dimension, oral rehabilitation was performed using a maxillary fixed prosthesis and mandibular implant-assisted removable partial denture. As a result, functional and aesthetic clinical outcomes were obtained.

최근 polyolefin계열의 고분자 분리막이 많이 사용되고 있는데 특히 그 중 polypropylene막은 특성상 내약품성 및 내열성이 뛰어나 막 손상이나 성능 저하가 비교적 적은 고분자 막으로 평가되고 있다. 그러나 재질의 소수성 특성 때문에 심각한 fouling을 유발하게 되어 이를 방지하기 위해 막 표면을 hydrophilic agent로 개질 시켜 fouling을 제어하는 기술이 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 막 재질을 개질 시키기 위하여 sulfonating agents, ozone, 그리고 hydrophilic monomer등을 grafting하는 방법들이 사용되고 있는데, 이는 공정상의 어려움이 있고 완벽한 친수성의 부여를 기대하기가 어렵다. 또한 막 기공 구조의 변화와 붕괴를 초래한다는 단점이 있다. 이밖에 hydrophilizing agent 등을 이용하여 wetting시킴으로써 일시적인 친수화 처리를 하는 방법이 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 membrane matrix로 부터 hydrophilizing agent가 새어 나가므로 영구적으로 사용할 수 없으며, 특히 의료용 분리막으로 이용될 경우 유출된 hydrophilizing agent가 cell membrane을 공격하여 cell 분해와 같은 인체에 해로운 결과를 초래하기 때문에 부적당하다. 최근 들어 저온 plasma를 이용한 표면 개질의 방법이 연구되고 있는데, 이는 plasma가 고분자 물질의 구조나 화학적 반응성과는 상관없이 모든 고분자 물질의 표면을 일정하게 개질 시킬 수 있으며 여타의 다른 방법들과는 달리 막 제조시 residual solvent의 문제점과 swelling의 문제점들이 발생하지 않는 장점 때문에 최근 각광받고 있는 기술 중의 하나이다. 또한 다른 방법에 비해 막과 plasma와의 강한 흡착력 때문에 영구적 친수성을 가지게 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 저온 plasma를 이용한 표면 개질이 막의 친수성 향상 및 fouling 방지에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다.

The dynamic interactions between benzoic acid derivative ($pH{\approx}7.0$)(guest) and ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (${\beta}$-CD)(host) were investigated in an aqueous solutions in terms of ultrasonic absorption in the frequency range 0.2 MHz ~ 50 MHz with emphasis on the low-frequency range below 1 MHz at $25^{\circ}C$. We show that the interaction of ${\beta}$-CD and benzoic acid derivative complies with a typical spectrum of a single relaxation process around a few MHz. The ultrasonic relaxation observed in these solutions was due to a perturbation of a chemical equilibrium related to a reaction of an inclusion complex formed by the host and guest. The rate constant ($k_b=7.48{\times}10^6M^{-1}s^{-1}$) and equilibrium constant ($K=68.6M^{-1}$) were determined from the concentration dependences of benzoic acid on the relaxation frequency. The standard volume change (${\Delta}V=10.6{\times}10^{-6}m^3mol^{-1}$) of the reaction was also computed from the maximum absorption per wavelength. It was found that the hydrophobicity of guest molecules played an important role in the formation of the inclusion complex.

In this study, a poly (amino acid)s derivative grafted with retinoic acids, which could form self-assemblies in an aqueous solution, was successfully synthesized. The synthesized amphiphilic poly (amino acid)s were controlled with 5, 10, 30 mol% substitution of retinoic acid. Then, the amphiphilic poly (amino acid)s were self-assembled by inter/intra molecular stacking of retinoic acids in an aqueous solution. Also, the increasing the degree of substitution (DS) of retinoic acids decreased the size of self-assembled nanoparticles and induced structural transition to bilayer structure from spherical structure. The retinol was stably encapsulated into a core of self-assembled nanoparticle with 10 mol% of DS. This strategy to prepare the self-assemblies of amphiphilic polyaspartamide will serve to improve the efficiency of targeted delivery for a functional cosmetic with various biological modalities.

일반적으로 유역에서 발생하는 토양손실은 붕괴사면과 표면침식, 토사류 붕괴에 의한 운반, 하상의 침식등 자연적인 요인과 도로건설, 산림의 벌채, 단지개발 등 인위적인 원인으로 발생할 수 있다. 토양손실의 발생은 농업생산성을 떨어뜨리고 목초지를 손상시키며, 물의 흐름을 방해하여 홍수위 상승, 저수지의 저수용량 감소, 고탁수 등 다양한 문제를 야기 시킨다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해선 우선 토양손실 발생의 위험지역을 선정하고 그 지역을 집중적으로 관리하는 적절한 관리 대책의 마련이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 낙동강유역 전체를 대상유역으로 선정하고 토양손실 발생에 영향을 주는 여러 요소중 도시화나 농경지 확장 등 인간의 인위적인 개발로 인해 쉽게 변경될 수 있는 토지이용도를 이용하여 세부적으로 분석하였다. 토지이용도를 구성하고 있는 총 8가지의 토지이용항목 중 다른 항목들에 비해 분포면적이 매우 작은 녹지, 습지, 나지를 제외한 5가지의 항목(시가화, 논, 밭, 산림, 수역)의 분포면적을 통해 토지 이용특성에 따른 유사발생의 연관성을 파악하였으며 유역별 유사발생 위험순위를 평가하였다. 유사발생 위험순위 평가결과, 전체 낙동강유역내 유사발생 위험성이 높은 표준유역들로 구성되어있는 중권역은 내성천, 위천합류점, 합천댐유역, 안동댐유역으로 모두 높은 순위를 차지했다. 내성천유역, 위천합류점 유역, 합천댐유역은 구성하고 있는 표준유역의 절반 이상이 높은 순위들로 구성되어 있으며 안동댐유역은 구성하고 있는 소수의 표준유역이 유역내 최상위 순위를 차지하였다.

Deterioration of long-term dentin adhesion durability is thought to occur by hydrolytic degradation within hydrophilic domains of the adhesive and hybrid layers. This study investigated the hypothesis that priming the collagen network with an organic solvent displace water without collapse and thereby obtain good bond strength with an adhesive made of hydrophobic monomers and organic solvents. Three experimental adhesives were prepared by dissolving two hydrophobic monomers, bisphenol-A-glycidylmethacrylate (Bis-GMA) and triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), into acetone, ethanol or methanol. After an etching and rinsing procedure, the adhesives were applied onto either wet dentin surfaces (wet bonding) or dentin surfaces primed with the same solvent (solvent-primed bonding). Microtensile bond strength (MTBS) was measured at 48 hrs, 1 month and after 10,000 times of thermocycles. The bonded interfaces were evaluated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Regardless of bonding protocols, well-developed hybrid layers were observed at the bonded interface in most specimens. The highest mean MTBS was observed in the adhesive containing ethanol at 48 hrs. With solvent-primed bonding, increased MTBS tendencies were seen with thermo cycling in the adhesives containing ethanol or methanol. However, in the case of wet bonding, no increase in MTBS was observed with aging.

In order to investigate the degree of grain shedding of red rices collected in Korea, breaking tensile and breaking bending strengths of 269 varieties; 82 Korean and 100 foreign red rices and 87 Korean cultivars including 26 native varieties, 30 Japonica-Indica hybrids and 31 Japonica type varieties, were measured at harvest time. Also, histological characteristics of abscission region between spikelet and pedicel were observed. The breaking tensile and breaking bending strengths of both Korean and foreign red rices were weaker than those of Japonica-Indica hybrids which were known as easily shedding varieties in Korea. Abscission layers were observed in the majority of Korean red rices except for 5 varieties, and those of all varieties belonging to both long grain types and 'Sare's were cracked completely at harvest time, while those of round grain types were not cracked except one variety. The breaking tensile and breaking bending strengths of the tested varieties having cracked abscission layer were weaker than those of non-cracked ones. Both strengths of breaking tensile and breaking bending were positively correlated with diameter of supporting zone and thickness of sclerenchyma tissue surrounding central vascular tissue of suporting zone at 0.1% significant level, respectively.
