  • In this paper, the nonlocal integral Timoshenko beam model is employed to study the free vibration characteristics of singled walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) including the thermal effect. Based on the nonlocal continuum theory, the governing equations of motion are formulated by considering thermal effect. The influences of small scale parameter, the chirality of SWCNTs, the vibrational mode number, the aspect ratio of SWCNTs and temperature changes on the thermal vibration properties of single-walled nanotubes are examined and discussed. Results indicate significant dependence of natural frequencies on the nonlocal parameter, the temperature change, the aspect ratio and the chirality of SWCNTs. This work should be useful reference for the application and the design of nanoelectronics and nanoelectromechanical devices that make use of the thermal vibration properties of SWCNTs.

  • The interest in polyhydroxyamines is based in their biological activity as enzyme inhibitors. and as starting materials in the synthesis of more complex compounds. Polyhydroxyamines is that amine group is continuing structurally with hydroxy groups and has become important target of the synthesis strategy because of the chirality control of amine group and each hydroxy groups.

  • Capillary electrophoretic direct chiral separation method is described for the determination of the absolute configuration of chiral aromatic acids, The enantiomeric separation was achieved by capillary electrophoresis using HP $\beta$-cyclodextrin (CD) as the chiral selector. The effect of CD concentration was investigated to optimize the chiral separation and resolution. When applied to microbial culture fluid. the present method allowed positive identification of chiral aromatic acids and their chirality as well.

  • A series of 13- and 14-membered cyclic enkephalin analogs based on the moderately $\mu$ selective prototype compound Tyr-C[D-$A_2bu$-Gly-Phe-Leu] 8a were synthesized to investigate the structure-activity relationship. The modifications of sequence were mainly focused on two positions 3 and 5, critical for the selective recognition for $\mu$ and $\delta$ opioid receptors. The substitution of hydrophobic $Leu^5$ with hydrophilic $Asp^5$ derivatives led to Tyr-C[D-$A_2bu$-Gly-Phe-Asp(N-Me)] 7 and Tyr-C[D-Glu-Phe-gPhe-rAsp(O-Me)] 5, the peptides with a large affinity losses at both $\mu$ and $\delta$ receptors. The substitution of $Phe^3$ with $Gly^3$ led to Tyr-C[D-Glu-Gly-gPhe-rLeu] 3 and Tyr-C[D-Glu-Gly-gPhe-D-rLeu] 4, the peptides with large affinity losses at $\mu$ receptors, indicating the critical role of phenyl ring of $Phe^3$ for $\mu$ receptor affinities. One atom reduction of the ring size from 14-membered analogs Tyr-C[D-Glu-Phe-gPhe-(L and D)-rLeu] 6a, 6b to 13-membered analogs Tyr-C[D-Asp-Phe-gPhe-(L and D)-rLeu] 1, 2 reduced the affinity at both $\mu$ and $\delta$ receptors, but increased the potency in the nociceptive assay, indicating the ring constrain is attributed to high nociceptive potency of the analogs. For the influence of D- or L-chirality of $Leu^5$ on the receptor selectivity, regardless of chirality and ring size, all cyclic diastereomers displayed marked $\mu$ selectivity with low potencies at the $\delta$ receptor. The retro-inverso analogs display similar or more active at $\mu$ receptor, but less active at $\delta$ receptor than the parent analogs.

  • 단일벽 탄소나노튜브(SWNT)는 뛰어난 물리적 성질과 화학적 안정성을 가지고 있어서 다양한 분야의 응용이 기대되어 폭넓은 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 특히 SWNT의 전기적 및 기계적 특성들은 SWNT의 직경 및 뒤틀림도(chirality)에 의해 크게 좌우되기 때문에, 합성하는 단계에서 직경 또는 chirality를 제어에 관한 많은 이론적 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 최근에는 초기 SWNT의 핵생성 단계에서의 촉매의 거동 및 상호 연관성 등에 관한 실험적인 연구결과들이 속속 보고되고 있는 실정이다. 하지만, 아직도 이에 관한 더욱 다양하고 활발한 연구 접근 및 결과들이 필요한 시점이다. 상기 배경을 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 균일한 직경을 갖는 SWNT의 합성을 위한 기초연구로서 SWNT의 직경과 촉매나노입자의 크기의 상호 연관성에 대해 체계적으로 조사하였다. 우선 SWNT합성을 위한 촉매나노입자를 얻기 위해 페리틴(ferritin)용액의 농도 및 스핀코팅 조건을 변화시킴으로써 기판 위에 분산농도를 제어한 후, 대기 열처리를 통하여 촉매나노입자의 농도를 제어하였다. 나노입자의 평균직경은 4 nm 정도로 비교적 균일하였으며, 고농도의 촉매입자는 SWNT의 다발화(bundling)를 유발하였다. 따라서, SWNT와 나노입자 직경의 상호연관성을 조사하기 위해서는 단분산(monodispersed) 된 나노입자를 이용하였으며, 아르곤 분위기에서 추가적으로 고온($900^{\circ}C$) 열처리를 실시함으로써 나노입자의 크기감소를 도모하였다. 실험결과, 열처리 시간의 증가에 따라 입자크기가 감소함을 확인하였으며, 이는 나노입자의 증발에 의한 것으로 예상된다. 다음으로는 열처리를 통하여 직경이 제어된 나노입자를 이용하여 SWNT를 합성한 후 SWNT와 촉매크기 사이의 크기 관계를 조사하였다. SWNT의 합성은 메탄을 원료가스로 열화학증기증착법을 이용하였고, 합성기판으로는 산화실리콘웨이퍼와 퀄츠기판을 이용하였다. 성장한 SWNT의 직경은 AFM을 이용하여 측정하였으며, 퀄츠기판에 수평배향 성장시킨 SWNT를 3차원 구조의 기판으로 전사(transfer)하여, 라만분석이 용이하도록 하였다.

  • Since chlorophyll a and bacteriochlorophyll a are asymmetric molecules, an external ligand can coordinate to the central Mg atom either from the chiorin macrocycle side where the C13$^2$-methoxycarbonyl moiety protrudes (denoting as the 'back' side) or frome the other side (the 'face' side). We investigated which side of the macrocycle is favored for the ligand coordination, by survey of the highly resolved crystal structures of various photosynthetic proteins and theoretical model calculations. It is found that chlorophyll a as well as bacteriochlorophyll a and b in the photosynthetic proteins mostly bind their ligands on the 'back' sides. This finding was confirmed by the theoretical calculations for methyl chlorophyllide a and methyl bacteriochlorophyllide a as models: the 'back' type ligand-(bacterio )chlorophyll complex was more stable than the 'face' type one. The calculations predicted influence of the Cl3$^2$-stereochemistry on the choice of the side of the ligand coordination, which is discussed in relation to the presence of the Cl3$^2$-epimer of chlorophyll a in photosystem I reaction center [I].
