The modulation of cytochrome P450(P450) activities and glutathione S-transferase (GST) was investigated after i.p. administration of glucose-diethyldithiocarbamate (Glu-DDTC) to rats. P450 1 A2 and 2El activities were inhibited by 60% 4 hr after the administration of 200 mg Glu-DDTC/kg and those activities were recovered to original levels 24 hr after dosing. In contrast, GST activities were enhanced up to 24 hr after dosing. These results seem to be due to the bifunctional activity of Glu-DDTC. Glu-DDTC acts as an inhibitor of P450 enzymes as well as inducer of GST enzyme. Glu-DDTC inhibited PNP hydroxylation (P450 2El) and ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation (P450 1A2) in a dose-dependent manner up to 200 mg/kg wherease it did not affect testosterone 6$\beta$-hydroxylation (P450 3A) and pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylation (P450 2B) activities. Induction of GST activity toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzenen (DCNB) was dependent on the dose of Glu-DDTC and no species difference in the GST induction was seen between rat and mouse. Amoung GST subunits, Ya, Yb1 and partially Yb2 were induced by Glu-DDTC as conjugated by western blotting. The levels Yp, Yk and Yc subunits were not affected by Glu-DDTC treatment. Therefore the enhanced activity of GST toward CDNB and DCNB might be due to the induction of Ya, Ybl and partially Yb2 subunits. In conclusion, Glu-DDTC selectively inhibited P45O 1A2 and P450 2El activities whereas it enhanced Ya, Ybl subunits and partially Yb2 subunits of GST and the antimutagenic activity of this compound might be attributed from the modulation of these enzyme activities in animals.

본 연구에서는 바이오칩 등에 응용 가능한 전도성 고분자 필름을 제조하기 위해 3-triophene acetic acid을 선택하여, 쉽게 전기적으로 산화되어 전기적 활성을 나타내는 고분자들을 형성하였다. 3-Thiophene acetic acid에 있는 카르복실기의 보호기들은 solid state에서 쉽게 제거되어질 수 있고, 그 결과 반응성 카르복실기가 전기적 활성을 나타내는 고분자 표면 위에 재생되어질 수 있었다. 즉, 카르복실기의 보호를 통한 전기중합과 뒤이은 보호기의 제거로 반응성인 카르복실기를 갖는 새로운 고분자 담체를 제조할 수 있었고, 기존의 방법으로 합성한 macromonomer를 필름 표면에 도입하여 전기적 활성을 나타내며 동시에 고분자 전해질이 도입된 전도성 고분자 필름을 얻었다. 합성한 전도성 단량체들과 macromonomer의 도입여부는 FT-IR과 $^1H-NMR$ 및 ESCA측정으로 확인하였고, 전극표면에 형성된 필름들의 형태는 SEM을 통해서 관찰하였다. 전기적 활성은 cyclic voltammogram(CV)을 통하여 확인하였으며, 얻어진 고분자 필름들은 0.7~0.9 V의 영역에서 전형적인 poly(3-alkylthiophene)의 전기 화학적 거동을 나타내었다.

VI${\sim}$XVI은 서서히 분해되지만 S-O 결합이 S=O결합으로 변하지는 않았다. 과량의 알콜은 V의 2가 황과 N-chloromethyl기의 ${\alpha}$-탄소에 대해 친핵성 공격을 할 수 있었으며, 이렇게 하여 생긴 화합물 (XVII, XVIII)은 상당한 안정성을 가지고 있었다.

We present the synthesis and characterization of DTPA-bis(histidylamide) (1a), DTPA-bis(aspartamide) (1b), and their gadolinium complexes of the type $[Gd(L)(H_2O)]$ (2a:L = 1a; 2b:L = 1b). Thermodynamic stabilities and $R_1$ relaxivities of 2a-b compare well with Omniscan$^{(R)}$, a well-known commercial, extracellular (ECF) MRI CA which adopts the DTPA-bis(amide) framework for the chelate: $R_1$ = 5.5 and 5.1 $mM^{-1}$ for 2a and 2b, respectively. Addition of the Cu(II) ion to a solution containing 2b triggers relaxivity enhancement to raise $R_1$ as high as 15.3 $mM^{-1}$, which corresponds to a 300% enhancement. Such an increase levels off at the concentration beyond two equiv. of Cu(II), suggesting the formation of a trimetallic ($Gd/Cu_2$) complex in situ. Such a relaxivity increase is almost negligible with Zn(II) and other endogenous ions such as Na(I), K(I), Mg(II), and Ca(II). In vivo MR images and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) obtained with an aqueous mixture of 2b and Cu(II) ion in an 1:2 ratio demonstrate the potentiality of 2 as a copper responsive MRI CA.

양기능성 실란 커플링제인 bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide(TESPT)가 실리카/천연고무 복합소재 내에서 실리카의 hydroxy기와 고무 계면간에 화학적 결합반응을 하여 실리카-실란-고무간의 3차원 사슬구조를 형성한 것을 열분해 가스 크로마토그래피 질량분석기(Py-GC/MS)와 주사전자현미경(SEM)을 통해 관찰하였다. TESPT의 첨가로 배합물 내의 황 함유율이 증가하여 스코치 시간($t_{10}$)은 감소하고, TESPT 내 sulfur donor 역할을 하는 황이 활성화제 및 촉진제와의 복합반응으로 가교반응이 지속적으로 이루어짐에 따라서 가교속도지수(CRI)의 값이 감소하였다. 또한 TESPT가 첨가된 컴파운드는 첨가되지 않은 컴파운드에 비해 가공성 및 기계적 물성이 향상되었다. 결과적으로, 실리카로 충전된 천연고무 복합소재에 실란 커플링제(TESPT)가 첨가되어 화학반응으로 실리카-실란-고무간의 3차원 사슬구조가 형성됨을 관찰하였고 이에 따라 가교밀도가 증가하여 복합소재의 물성 증가에 기여함을 보여주었다.

Phosphomannomutase (ManB) converts mannose-6-phosphate (M-6-P) to mannose-1-phosphate (M-1-P), which is a key metabolic precursor for the production of GDP-D-mannose used for production of glycoconjugates and post-translational modification of proteins. The aim of this study was to express the manB gene from Escherichia coli in Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris NZ9000 and to characterize the encoded enzyme. The manB gene from E. coli K12, of 1,371 bp and encoding 457 amino acids (52 kDa), was cloned and overexpressed in L. lactis NZ9000 using the nisin-controlled expression system. The enzyme was purified by Ni-NTA column chromatography and exhibited a specific activity of 5.34 units/mg, significantly higher than that of other previously reported ManB enzymes. The pH and temperature optima were 8.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. Interestingly, the ManB used in this study had two substrate specificity for both mannose-1-phosphate and glucose-1-phosphate, and the specific activity for glucose-1-phosphate was 3.76 units/mg showing 70% relative activity to that of mannose-1-phosphate. This is the first study on heterologous expression and characterization of ManB in lactic acid bacteria. The ManB expression system constructed in this study canbe used to synthesize rare sugars or glycoconjugates.

Ginsenoside Rg3 was reported to have important biological activities. We demonstrate conjugation and quantification procedures of ginsenoside Rg3 to gold nanoparticles for future biological and medical applications. Ginsenoside Rg3 was conjugated to spherical gold nanoparticles using a bifunctional heptaethylene glycol linker. The sulfhydryl group of heptaethylene glycol was adsorbed onto gold nanoparticles, and carboxylic acid end of heptaethylene glycol was bonded through a hydroxyl group of Rg3 via ester bond formation. The conjugation of Rg3 was characterized with various spectroscopic techniques, high resolution-transmission electron microscopy, and using Rg3 monoclonal antibody. The Rg3- functionalized gold nanoparticles were $4.7{\pm}1.0$ nm in diameter with a surface charge of -4.12 mV. The total number of Rg3 molecules conjugated to a 3.6 mL solution of gold nanoparticle was determined to be $9.5{\times}10^{14}$ corresponding to ~6 molecules of Rg3/gold nanoparticle. These results suggest that ginsenoside Rg3 is successfully conjugated to gold nanoparticles via heptaethylene glycol linker. The quantification was performed by using Rg3 monoclonal antibody without interference of gold's intrinsic color.

Various commercially available gas diffusion layers (GDLs) from different manufacturers were used to prepare an air electrode using $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CoO_3$ perovskite (LSCP) as the catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline solution. Various GDLs have different physical properties, such as porosity, conductivity, hydrophobicity, etc. The ORR and OER of the resulting cathode were electrochemically evaluated in an alkaline solution. The electrochemical properties of the resulting cathodes were slightly different when compared to the physical properties of GDLs. Pore structure and conductivity of GDLs had a prominent effect and their hydrophobicities had a minor effect on the electrochemical performances of cathodes for ORR and OER.

In the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene, CO2 could play a role as an oxidant to increase conversion of ethylbenzene and stability as well over TiO2-ZrO2 mixed oxide catalysts. TiO2-ZrO2 catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation method and were characterized by BET surface area, bulk density, X-ray diffraction, temperature programmed desorption of NH3 and CO2. These catalysts were found to be X-ray amorphous with enhanced surface areas and acid-base properties both in number and strength when compared to the respective oxides (TiO2 and CO2). These catalysts were found to be highly active (> 50% conversion), selective (> 98%) and catalytically stable (10 h of time-on-stream) at 600 oC for the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene. However, in the nitrogen stream, both activity and stability were rather lower than those in the stream with CO2. The TiO2-ZrO2 catalysts were catalytically superior to the simple oxide catalysts such as TiO2 and ZrO2. The synergistic effect of CO2 has clearly been observed in directing the product selectivity and prolonging catalytic activity.

피셔트롭스반응은 합성가스 ($H_2+CO$) 로부터 액체연료를 생산하기 위한 목적으로 연구되고 있으며 최근 한정된 석유자원으로 인하여 그 중요성이 증대하고 있다. 이 반응을 통해 생산된 왁스는 수첨분해 반응을 통해 원하는 액체연료 (디젤, 항공유, 윤활유 등) 영역의 수율을 높일 수 있다. 수첨분해반응을 위해선 수소화/탈수소화 기능을 가지는 금속을 포함하고 크래킹 반응을 일으키는 산점을 가지는 양기능성 촉매가 선호된다. 본 연구에서는 수소첨가분해 반응에 이용하는 일반적인 촉매를 알아보고 왁스종류, 반응온도, 반응압력 등 공정변수에 따라 사용가능한 촉매를 조사, 비교하였다.
