FANCJ is a DNA helicase which contributes genome stability by resolving G-quadruplex DNA from 5' to 3' direction. In addition to main ATPase helicase core, FANCJ has the protein binding region at its C-terminal part. BRCA1 and BLM are the binding partner of FANCJ and these protein-protein interactions contribute genomic stability and the proper response to replication stress. As the first attempt for studying FANCJ-BLM interaction, we prepared BLM binding region of FANCJ and characterized with CD and NMR spectroscopy. FANCJ (881-941) with N-ter 6xHis was purified as the oligomer. Secondary structure prediction based on CD data revealed that FANCJ (881-941) composed with ${\beta}$ sheet, turn and coils.$^1H-^{15}N$ HSQC spectra showed nonhomogeneous peak intensities with less number of peaks comparing than the number of amino acids in the construct. It indicated that optimization should be necessary for detailed further structural studies.

Infrared-Radio frequency double resonance (IRRFDR) and Infrared-Microwave double resonance (IRMWDR) spectroscopy have been used to probe a level of A symmetry for $CD_{3}$OH. Double resonance spectra of $CD_{3}$OH have been investigated over the range of 940 to 1020 $cm ^{-1}$ . Twenty K-type doublet transitions have been observed in both the radio frequency region, which covers 50 MHz to 1 GHz, and the microwave region, which covers 8 GHz to 12 GHz. The results propose new assignments of infrared (IR) absorption transitions and far-infrared (FIR) laser emission lines. These involve torsional excited levels and CO stretch states. Measurements of the A state splitting have permitted the determination of the asymmetry splitting parameters $S^{o}$(n, K) and $^{co}$ (n, K) for (n, K)=(0.3) and (1.3)

The hyaluronic acid (HA) conjugate bearing $\alpha$-cyclodextrin ($\alpha$-CD) was synthesized as the potential carrier of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-drug conjugates. The HA conjugate was prepared by the reaction between the carboxylic acid of HA and the primary amine of $\alpha$-CD in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole. The chemical structure of the conjugate was confirmed using $^1H$ NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The conjugate could form nano-sized particles in the presence of PEG by forming the inclusion complexes between $\alpha$-CD at the backbone of HA, which was demonstrated using electrophoretic light scattering and field emission transmission electron microscopy. It is anticipated that this novel kind of nanoparticles can serve as a useful delivery system for PEGylated drugs.

Pure copper, Cu-1.1wt%Cd and ACSR(Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) have been used as catenary materials of the electric railway system. Since these materials may be exposed to the corrosive environments like polluted air, acid rain and sea water, it is important to investigate the corrosion rates in various corrosive environments. The aqueous corrosion characteristics of catenary materials in aerated acid, neutral and alkali solutions were studied by using immersion corrosion tests, electrochemical measurements and analytical techniques. In order to examine corrosion characteristics according to the dissolved oxygen content, pH, chloride ion concentration ion, and the addition of Cd to Cu, a series of tests such as potentiodynamic polarization, a.c impedance spectroscopy and galvanic corrosion tests were carried out with these materials. Results showed that the addition of Cd to Cu and chloride ion in the solution have an adverse effects on the resistance to corrosion. Additionally, Galvanic currents between Al and steel wires of ACSR were confirmed by using ZRA(zero resistance ammeter) method.

Well-modified amino-appended ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin ($AA-{\beta}-CD$) with an amino group at the primary face of the ${\beta}-CD$ was synthesized and used in the catalytic synthesis of chromeno pyrimido[1,2-b]indazol as supramolecular catalysts in water for the first time. $AA-{\beta}-CD$ was characterized by FT-IR, NMR, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and SEM analysis. A possible reaction mechanism featuring molecular complexation was suggested based on 2D NMR (ROESY) spectroscopy, FE-SEM, DSC, and FT-IR. Advantages such as operational simplicity, recyclability of the catalysts, and accessibility in aqueous medium render this protocol eco-friendly.

Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for non-destructive analysis that can be obtained in a wide range of environments. Recently, NIR measurements have been utilized as probe for quantitative analysis in agricultural, industrial, and medical sciences. In addition, it is also possible to make practical application on NIR for molecular structural analysis. In this work, Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) measurements were carried out to utilize extensively in the relative amounts of different secondary structures were employed, such as Iysozyme, concanavalin A, silk fibroin and so on. Several broad NIR bands due to the protein absorption were observed between 4000 and $5000\;^{-1}$. In order to obtain more structural information from these featureless bands, second derivative and Fourier-self-deconvolution procedures were performed. Significant band separation was observed near the feature at $4610\;^{-1}$ ,. Particularly the peak intensity at $4525\;^{-1}$ shows a characteristic change with thermal denaturation of fibroin. The structural information can be also obtained by mid-IR and CD spectral. Correlation of NIR spectra with protein structure is discussed.

C-terminal fragments of APP (APP-CTs), that contain complete Abeta sequence, are found in neuritic plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and the cytosol of lymphoblastoid cells obtained from AD patients. CT16, Lys649-Asp664 (KKQYTSIHHGVVEVD) has been known as the most toxic part in the C-terminal fragment of amyloid precursor protein (APP). The solution structure of CT16 was investigated using NMR spectroscopy in various membrane-mimicking environments. According to Circular Dichroim (CD) spectra, CT16 has a random structure in aqueous solution, while conformational change was induced by addition of TFE and SDS micelle. Tertiary structure as determined by NMR spectroscopy shows that CT16 has a ${\beta}$-turn conformation in trifluoroethanol-containing aqueous solution.

The anionic complexes, [ln($C_6F_5)_4$]-, which are thermal and moisture sensitive, have been prepared by the reaction of In($C_6F_5)_3{\cdot}D(D=CH_3CN$, O($C_2H_5)_2$) with the system ($CH_3)_3SiC_6F_5$/CsF, $C_6F_5$MgBr or Cd($C_6F_5)_2$. The stable anionic indium(III) complexes are obtained through cation exchange with PNPCI ([PNP]= bis(triphenylphosphino)ammonium). The pure substance is obtained by column chromatography. These new anionic complexes are unambiguously identifed by NMR-spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, molecular weight, DTA/TG and elemental analysis.

The luminescence and fluorescence were investigated by photoluminescence spectroscopy for six gemstones which exhibit color change effect. The shape of luminescence peaks appears different when observed by a photoluminescence spectroscopewith a 514 nm Ar laser source. However, it was not possible to observe the difference in the spectra between the natural and synthetic origins for the same type of gemstones. It was found that the photoluminescence spectrum was related to the crystal structure of the stones. Photoluminescence spectra using a 325 nm He-Cd source reveal that fluorescence is relatively strong for synthetic alexandrite, synthetic color change sapphire and natural alexandrite comparing to the rest of gemstones examined.

본 연구에서는 Molybdenum oxide (MoOx)-doped 4,4',4"-tris[2-naphthyl(amino)] triphenylamine(2-TNATA)의 P-doping에 의한 hole ohmic contact과 fullerene (C60)/lithium (LiF)의 electron ohmic contact에 의한 All Ohmic contact를 이용한 유기 발광 다이오드 (OLEDs)의 광저항 특성의 향상을 설명한다. 이 소자의 성능은 MoOx-doped 2-TNATA의 두께와 도핑농도에 큰 영향을 받는다. glass/ITO/MoOx-doped 2-TNATA (100 nm)/Al 구조의 소자에서 MoOx-doped 2-TNATA 도핑 농도가 25%에서 75%로 증가할수록 hole only device의 hole ohmic 특성이 향상됐다. 그 이유는 p-type doping effect 때문이다. 또한 photoemission spectra 분석결과, p-type doping effect는 hole-injecting barrier 높이는 낮추고, hole conductivity는 향상되었다. 이것은 2-TNATA에 도핑된 MoOx의 전하전송 콤플렉스의 형성으로 hole carrier의 수가 증가하여 발생되었다. MoOx-doped 2-TNATA의 hole ohmic contact과 fullerene (C60)/lithium fluoride (LiF)의 electron ohmic contact 으로 구성된 glass/ITO/MoOx-doped 2-TNATA (75%, 60 nm)/NPB (10 nm)/Alq3 (35 nm)/C60 (5 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (150 nm)의 소자구조는 6,4V에서 127,600 cd/m2 최대 휘도와 약 1,000 cd/m2에서 4.7 lm/W의 높은 전력 효율을 보여준다.
