  • HP(2-20) (AKKVFKRLEKLEKLFSKIQNDK) derived from the N-terminus of Helicobacter pylori Ribosomal Protein L1 shows potent antimicrobial activity against bacterial, fungi and cancer cells without cytotoxic effect. In order to investigate the relationships between antimicrobial activity and the structures, several analogues have been designed and synthesized. The structures of these peptides in SDS micelles have been investigated using NMR spectroscopy and they revealed that analogue 3 has the longest, well-defined alpha-helix from Val5 to Trp19. NOESY experiments performed on HP and its analogues in nondeuterated SDS micelles show that protons in the indole ring of Trp16 are in close contact with methylene protons of SDS micelles. In order to probe the position of HP and its analogues relative to the SDS micelles, spin-labeled stearate was added. Large effects are observed for the chemical shifts and the intensities of Phe5, Glu9, Phe12, and Trp16 within the helix region by 16-doxylstearate. This result implies that 16-doxylstearate is located in the center of the micelles and the hydrophobic phase of the amphiphilic ${\alpha}$-helix is located in contact with the acyl chains of the micelles. Also, Lys3 and Lys4 at N-terminus and Lys20 at C-terminus may produce an optimal arrangement for electrostatic interactions between the sulfate head groups of the SDS and the positively charged lysyl N$\sub$3/$\^$+/. Interactions between the indole ring of Trp and the membrane, as well as the amphiphilic ${\alpha}$-helical structure of HP induced by Trp at the C-terminus may allow HP to span the lipid bilayer. These structural features are crucial for their potent antibiotic activities.

  • 생분해성 양쪽성 고분자를 이용하여 수용액에 존재하는 소수성 오염물질(페놀, 4-니트로페놀, 벤젠, 톨루엔) 및 중금속($Cs^{+},\;Mg^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Cr^{3}$)을 제거하였다. 친수성을 띤 단량체로써 분자량이 서로 다른(1,100 그리고 5,000) methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG)를 이용해 합성하였다. 투과실험 결과 상대적으로 분자량이 작은 MPEG를 이용해 합성한 경우보다 분자량이 큰 MPEG를 사용하였을 때 더 높은 제거율을 나타내었다. 한외여과공정을 이용해 오염물 없이 생분해성 나노파티클을 투과한 결과 나노파티클 용액의 농도가 100 mg/L 이상인 경우 나노 파티클 제거율은 98% 이상이었다. 소수성을 나타내는 오염원 제거시 소수성이 큰 오염원일수록 더 높은 제거율을 보였다. 또한 금속이온의 경우는 3가, 2가, 1가 이온의 순서로 제거율이 높았다.

  • 양친성 PCZ-r-PEG 랜덤 공중합체를 기반으로 한 수열합성법을 통해 자가조립된 메조기공 이산화티타늄 마이크로 스피어를 합성하였다. 중합된 PCZ-r-PEG는 푸리에 변환 적외분광법(fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, FT-IR), 핵자기공명(nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR), 젤 투과 크로마토그래피(gel permeation chromatography, GPC) 그리고 투과전자 현미경(transmission electron microscopy, TEM)을 통해 그 특성이 분석되었다. 다공성 이산화티타늄 입자는 PCZ-r-PEG, 글루코스(glucose), 물을 테트라히드로푸란(tetrahydrofuran, THF) 용액에 분산시킨 뒤 $150^{\circ}C$, 12시간 동안 반응시켰다. 다공성 이산화티타늄 입자의 구조와 결정성 분석을 위해 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy, SEM)과 엑스선 회절(X-ray diffraction, XRD)이 사용되었다.

  • The design and synthesis of new polymers is desirable to obtain materials with novel physical properties. Generally, these new polymers have their well-defined nature with the number of functional groups, molecular weight, polydispersity, and the presence or absence of branching being precisely controlledl. These polymers are mainly synthesized by living polymerizations to control of their structures. Among of various living polymerization Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) has been a field of intensive research in recent years1. (omitted)

  • Dumbbell-shaped aromatic amphiphilic molecules consisting of a dodeca-p-phenylene as a rigid segment and oligoether dendrons as a flexible chains were synthesized, characterized, and their aggregation behavior was investigated in the bulk and at the air-water interface. In contrast to the molecule 2 which shows a nematic liquid crystalline state, molecule 1 based on shorter dendritic chains was observed to self-assemble into a 3-D primitive orthorhombic supercrystal. And molecule 1 at the air-water interface was observed to reorganize from circular plates to ring structures by lateral compressions.

  • The amphiphilic block copolymer (PEtOz-PCL) of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEtOz) and poly(${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) (PCL) formed spherical micellar structures with an average diameter of 26 nm in aqueous phase. Au and Pd nanoparticles with an average diameter of $2{\sim}3nm$ were prepared by using the PEtOz-PCL micelle consisting of a PEtOz shell and PCL core. The Au nanoparticles of PEtOz-PCL micelles in aqueous phase could be transferred into organic phase by using n-dodecanethiol. The use of the Pd-NP/PEtOz-PCL micelle as a nanoreactor for Suzuki cross-coupling reaction was investigated.

  • The amino acid sequences of 130 kDa and 72 kDa proteins responsible for the larvicidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis (Bti) were analyzed by hydrophobic moment plots. A search for highly amphiphilic $\alpha$-helices was made in these proteins using the helical hydrophobic moment as a criterion of amphiphilicity The protein segments of the largest hydrophobic moments were analyzed. In the present communication we report the surface seeking helices in 130 kDa and 72 kDa proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis. It is assumed that the surface seeking segments may participate in one of the membrane-related functions of Bacillus thuringiensis.

  • Toxic Mastoparan B(MP-B) which is purified from the venom of the hornet Vespa basalis is a cationic amphlphilic tetradecapeptide. MP-B and Its Ala-substituted analogues were synthesized by solld phase method and the toxic peptide-membrane interactions were examined by circular dichroism(CD) spectra, fluorescence spectra, and leakage abilities in phospholipid membranes. In the presence of phospholipid vesicles, synthetic MP-B and its analogues formed amphiphilic -helical structures, but in the buffer soletion, those exhibited random coil conformation as measured by CD. Fluorescence spectra of MP-B and its analogues which indicated the binding affinity of peptide on phospholipid vesicles showed that the replacement of Lys at position 2 and 11 with Ala caused a remarkable effect in the blue shalt and that at position 2, in the leakage ability of the peptide.

  • 액정(liquid crystal)은 고체 결정과 등방성 액체의 사이에서 발견되는 중간형태의 물질상태이다. 액정은 일반 유체와 같이 흐를뿐만 아니라 고체가 갖는 이방성 특징을 동시에 갖는다. 액정의 점도는 일반적으로 10-100 Cp 이며 점도가 낮은 기계류 윤활유에 해당한다. 이방성의 특징은 분자들의 긴 간격의 배열에 기인되며 광학적 birefringence로 쉽게 나타나진다. 액정은 세가지 형태로 나누어진다. Thermotropic 액정은 순수화합물이나 균질한 혼합물에서 관찰되는데 온도의 변화에 따라 상이 벼노하한다. 일반적으로 이 액정은 nematic, cholestric, 그리고 smectic 상으로 구분되며 Fig.2에 나타나 있다. Lyotropic 액정은 비누와 같은 amphiphilic분자들이 물과같은 적당한 용매에 용해할 때 나타난다. 이 액정은 Thermotropic 액정과 달리 농도가 상을 결정하는 주요한 변수이다. Polymer 용액은 액정배열을 가지며 Polymeric 액정이라고 불린다. 지금까지 액정에 관해 알려진 지식은 thermotrpic 액정에 관한 것이며 여기서는 이 액정에 관해서만 기술한다.

  • The basic electrochemical and photochemical behavior of ultrathin mono- and hetero-type LB film of amphiphilic Ru bipyridine complex adsorbed on ITO electrode by the Langmuir- Blodgett(LB) method as monolayer and alternating multilayer state. With theoretical equation of cyclic voltammetry for redox species, the cyclic voltammogram were simulated successfully taking account the interaction parameters. We could fit almost all measured voltammograms with k$^{\circ}$=72s$\^$-1/, ${\alpha}$$\sub$a/=0.44, ${\alpha}$$\sub$c/=0.54, $\Gamma$$\sub$T/=1.4${\times}$10$\^$-10/, k=0.015s$\^$-1/ values. The AFM images of mono and hetero type LB film surfaces on ITO were also studied.
