The absorption and fluorescence spectral properties of piroxicam (PRX) in the hydrogenbonding solvents show the most sensitive dependence on the concentration ranging from 8 x 10$^{_5}$ to 2 x10$^{_5}$ M. These are attributed to both the solvent-mediated ground-state intermolecular proton transfer (GSIerPT) leading to formation of the ground state anion and the excited-state intmmolecular proton transfer (ESIraPT). The concentration dependences of the time-resolved emission kinetics at both room temperature and 77 K have also been investigated. It is shown that in the excited state, the ESIraPT of PRX is the dominant process to form a keto tautomer at the high concentration, whereas at the low concentration the excited-state conformational change of the anion is an additional process leading to formation of a zwitterion. The ESI~PT of PRX in the hydrogenbonding solvent is coupled with the ultrafast excited-state solvent reorganization.

To investigate the structure and function of photosystem I, cartridge mutagenesis technique was used to inactivate the psaB gene of photosystem I. From the screen, many strains which have potential defects in photosystem I were generated. Biochemical analysis revealed that B2, one of the mutant, had a reduced amount of chlorophyll. Electron transfer activitx from photosystem II to photosystem I as oxygen uptake was the rate of 64 % of wild type. Also B2 showed a decreased photosystem I activity when measured by 77 K fluorescence emission spectrum. Particularly, immunodetection analysis showed that the B2 had reduced amount of PsaA/PsaB, but a normal range of PsaC and PsaD. Here we present a photoheterotrophic mutant for psaB gene as a unique model strain for future study of structural/functional relationship and biogenesis of photosystem I.

${\beta}-catenin$ is a key signaling protein which regulates cell signaling and gene transcription. Abnormal activation of ${\beta}-catenin$ is linked to many cancers, particularly with colorectal cancers. Although many genetic and biological studies on $Wnt/{\beta}-catenin$ have been reported and structures of the complex between ${\beta}-catenin$ and its diverse binding partners have been published, many of them have focused on armadillo repeat domain of ${\beta}-catenin$. Both N- and C-terminal domains have been suggested to regulate interactions of ${\beta}-catenin$ with other molecules, but still little is known about the C-terminal unstructured domain. To investigate the structure of this domain, construct of C-terminus was designed and structural studies were performed using size exclusion chromatography (SEC), circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. We observed that not only the purified full-length construct but the purified C-terminal construct also dimerizes in solution by SEC, suggesting that this domain involves in dimerization of ${\beta}-catenin$. CD and fluorescence data indicate its flexibility and structural formation in the presence of membrane environments.

본 연구는 식품병마개 PVC 가스켓과 식품에 함유된 SEM을 효과적으로 분석하기 위해 연구했다. SEM은 발포제로 사용되는 ADC의 열분해산물로 알려졌다. 그러나 SEM은 분자량이 낮으며 ultraviolet light나 fluorescence에 활성을 갖지 않는다. 따라서 2-NBA-SEM으로 유도체화하여 HPLC triple column system으로 분석했을 때 상관관계는 0.9997이상이며 검출한계는 0.48ng/g으로 나타났다. 식품병마개 PVC 가스켓에서 SEM의 검출율은 77.08%로 나타났으며, 유통중인 병마개 PVC 가스켓에서 SEM은 812.20-5771.30ng/g 수준이였다. 그리고 회수율은 PVC 가스켓과 식품에서 각각 92.12-98.71%와 83.45-97.33%로 측정되었다.

A variety of different methods to generate diverse proteins, including random mutagenesis and recombination, are currently available, and most of them accumulate the mutations on the target gene of a protein, whose sequence space remains unchanged. On the other hand, a pool of diverse genes, which is generated by random insertions, deletions, and exchange of the homologous domains with different lengths in the target gene, would present the protein lineages resulting in new fitness landscapes. Here we report a method to generate a pool of protein variants with different sequence spaces by employing green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a model protein. This process, designated functional salvage screen (FSS), comprises the following procedures： a defective GFP template expressing no fluorescence is firstly constructed by genetically disrupting a predetermined region(s) of the protein, and a library of GFP variants is generated from the defective template by incorporating the randomly fragmented genomic DNA from E. coli into the defined region(s) of the target gene, followed by screening of the functionally salvaged, fluorescence-emitting GFPs. Two approaches, sequence-directed and PCR-coupled methods, were attempted to generate the library of GFP variants with new sequences derived from the genomic segments of E. coli. The functionally salvaged GFPs were selected and analyzed in terms of the sequence space and functional property. The results demonstrate that the functional salvage process not only can be a simple and effective method to create protein lineages with new sequence spaces, but also can be useful in elucidating the involvement of a specific region(s) or domain(s) in the structure and function of protein.

In this experiment, we determined the effect of curcumin supplementation in freezing buffer for miniature pig sperm cryopreservation. Each ejaculate was diluted with modified Modena B extender and mixed with lactose-egg yolk (LEY extender, 80% v/v lactose solution [310 mM], 20% v/v egg yolk, and $100{\mu}g/mL$ kanamycin sulfate) and LEY-glycerol Orvus ES Paste (LEYGO, 89.5% v/v LEY, 5% v/v glycerol, 1.5% v/v Orvus ES Paste), 100 mM trehalose supplemented with 0, 10, 50, 100, and $500{\mu}M$ of curcumin from turmeric, respectively. Following equilibration, the 0.5 mL French straws were frozen and plunged into $LN_2$ tank for 7 days at least. Sperm parameter and oxidative byproducts were determined by the computer assisted sperm motility analysis (CASA) and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) as compared with each groups. Supplementation of curcumin had no effect on sperm motility, progressive motility and curvilinear velocity. However, average-path velocity and straight-line velocity were significantly higher in $10{\mu}M$ curcumin group ($100.9{\pm}8.8{\mu}m/s$, $61.7{\pm}2.9{\mu}m/s$, respectively) than control group ($77.8{\pm}3.9{\mu}m/s$, $46.4{\pm}3.0{\mu}m/s$, respectively) (p < 0.05). In addition, the level of the O2 radical and H2O2 were comparatively decreased in curcumin groups by evaluation of ethidium and DCF fluorescence. According to the results, curcumin can improve sperm kinetic variables and alleviate ROS induced cryoinjury to pig sperm.

배경 : 폐암은 13%만이 완치할 수 있는 예후가 불량한 질환으로 조기진단이 중요한 것으로 알려져 있다. 상피내암이나 미세침윤성 기관지암 등의 조기폐암은 조기에 효과적으로 치료할 수 있어 그 진단이 중요하며, 최근에는 전구암 병변도 조기에 진단 가능하므로써 그 예방적인 치료가 시도되고 있다. 조기진단을 위한 객담 세포진 검사나 기존의 기관지 내시경검사는 조기폐암과 전구암 병변에 대한 진단율이 떨어져 진단에 어려운 실정이다. 최근에는 정상과 암세포의 자기형광 (autofluorescence)을 이용한 형광 기관지 내시경(lung imaging fluorescence endoscope device : LIFE)을 통하여 조기 폐암과 전구암 병변의 진단에 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 목적 : 본 연구는 기존의 내시경을 시행하는 환자를 대상으로 형광기관지 내시경 검사를 시행하여 기관지 점막에 이상이 있는 경우 조직검사를 통하여 두 검사 사이에 민감도와 특이도의 차이를 비교하였다. 방법 : 대상환자는 총 35명으로 평균연령 59.3(27-77)세였으며, 남자 26명, 여자 9명이었다. 흉부 방사선상에 폐암 환자 9명, 폐구엽성 무기폐환자 4명, 폐렴환자 3명, 객담에서 악성세포 양성을 보인 2명, 원인 모르는 흉수 환자 2명, 혈담환자 9명, 만성 기침환자 6명이였다. 대상환자 중 악성종양으로 진단된 환자는 15명이였으며, 기존의 백색빛 광원의 기관지 내시경검사와 형광 기관지 내시경 검사를 시행하였으며, 두 검사에 중에 한 검사에서도 이상병변이 있는 경우 조직검사를 시행하여 총 79조직을 얻어 두 검사간에 민강도와 특이도를 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 결과 : 1) 총 79조직은 정상조직이 8, 상피세포 증식이 21, 상피세포의 이형성이 23, 침윤성 폐암이 27조직이었다. 2) 상피세포의 이형성인 23조직에서 백색빚 기관지내시경은 14조직에서 양성으로 60.9 % 였으나, LIFE는 19조직에서 양성으로 82.6 %로 높은 경향을 보였다. 3) 27조직의 침윤성 폐암에 대한 백색빛 기관지내시경는 27조직 모두 양성(100%)인 반면에, LIFE는 19조직이 양성으로 70.3 %의 양성율을 나타냈다. LIFE에서 음성으로 보인 8조직의 침융성 폐암은 선암 7조직 중 3조직, 소세포암 8조직 중 5조직이었으며, 이들은 모두 상피조직은 정상이나 암조직이 점막이하에 침윤되어 있었던 조직이었다. 반면에 상피조직에 이상이 있던 7조직의 편평상피 세포암 조직, 1조직의 대세포암, 2조직의 유암과 2조직의 전이성 앙은 모두 양성이었다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 LIFE는 전구암 병변과 기관지 기관지 폐암증에 상피세포에 이상이 있는 기관지 폐암의 진단에는 백색빛 기관지내시경보다 민감도가 높아 기관지 상피세포에 이상이 있는 전구암 병변과 조기폐암에는 유용할 것으로 사료되나, 기관지 폐암중에 정상의 기관지 점막하에 칩윤하는 기관지 폐암의 진단에는 한계가 있을 것으로 사료된다.
