The cyclic dimers of enkephalin were isolated as minor components during the solution synthesis of the corresponding cyclic monomers. The ratio of cyclic dimer to monomer was approximately 1:4 from the percent of yields. In the receptor binding assay of two cyclic dimmers, ($Tyr_2-C[D-Glu-Phe-gPhe]_2$ 6, $Tyr_2-C[D-Asp-Phe-gPhe-rLeu]_2$ 8), both analogs exhibited the high preference for ${\delta}$ receptor compared to monocyclic counterparts. In the nociceptive activity, both showed about 5 times less potent than the cyclic monomers. The repeated synthesis of 14-membered cyclic analog, Tyr-C[D-Glu-Phe-gPhe-D-rLeu] 14, which was known as having three distinct cis-trans isomers, gave rise to apparently different conformational analog arousing only trans isomer. In the receptor binding assay, it showed tremendously high selectivity toward ${\mu}$ receptor $({\delta}/{\mu}=160)$.

Two conformational isomers of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene hexanoate were prepared from the reaction of-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene and hexanoly chloride in the presence of AlCl3 in CH2Cl2 and their structures were determined by NMR spectra and X-ray diffraction as a cone and a 1,3-alternate conformer, respectively. The crystal of cone conformer (C68H96O8·(CH3)2CO) is triclinic, P, a=15.066(1) , b=16.063(1) , c=16.365(1) , α=79.75(2)o, β=109.95(2)o, γ=80.32(0)o, V=3602.7(4) 3, Z=2. The intensity data were collected on Simens SMART diffractometer/CCD area detector. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by least-squares calculations to a final R value of 0.144 for 4638 observed reflections. The molecular conformation is distorted symmetric cone with the flattening A and D phenyl rings. The crystal of 1,3-alternate conformer (C68H96O8·2CHCl3) is orthorhombic, Pca21, a=34.586(5) , b=10.207(3) , c=20.394(4) , V=7199(3) 3, Z=4. The intensity data were collected on an Enraf-Noninus CAD-4 Diffractometer with a graphite monochromated Mo-K radiation.

Electrospray ionization (ESI) and ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) were employed to investigate the solvated structures of ionic species in the lithium iodide electrolyte solution in the gas phase. The Li⁺I^-Li⁺ triple ion and single standalone Li+ ions solvated by 1,4-dioxane were successfully generated and observed by ESI-MS under the influence of dioxane vapor at the inlet region. Under the present experimental condition, (1,4-dioxane)_m·Li⁺ complex ions (m = 1, 2, and 3) and a (1,4-dioxane)·Li⁺I^-Li⁺ complex ion were observed, which were further examined by IMS to investigate their structures. The presence of multiple structural isomers was confirmed, which accounts for the endothermic conformational transition of 1,4-dioxane from a chair to a boat to achieve bidentate O-donor binding to Li⁺ and Li⁺I^-Li⁺. Further structural details critical for the ion-solvent interactions were also examined and discussed with the help of density functional theory calculations.

Cinnamonitrile의 산-가수분해 반응속도상수를 25$^{\circ}$C, HClO$_4$ 1 ~ 5M의 센산성 용액속에서 UV분광법으로 측정하고 Bunnett관계식에 적용하여 ${\omega}$ = 9.8, ${\omega}^*$ = 0.42 및 ${\phi}$=1.6등의 hydration parameter를 구하였다. 이는 질소원자에 양성자화가 이루어진 짝산에 대하여 속도결정단계에서 친핵체로 물분자가 첨가된 다음에 양성자 전달체로 작용한다는 것을 시사한다.

Many organisms control their physiology and behavior in response to the local light environment, which is first perceived by photoreceptors that undergo light-dependent conformational changes. Phytochromes are one of the major photoreceptors in plants, controlling wide aspects of plant physiology by recognizing the light in red (R) and far-red (FR) spectra. Higher plants have two types of phytochromes; the photo-labile type I (phyA in Arabidopsis) and photo-stable type II (phyB-E in Arabidopsis). Phytochrome B (phyB), a member of the type II phytochromes in Arabidopsis, shows classical R and FR reversibility between the inter-convertible photoisomers, Pr and Pfr. Interestingly, the Pr and Pfr isomers show partitioning in the cytosol and nucleus, respectively. In the over 50 years since its discovery, it has been thought that the type II phytochromes only function to mediate R light. As described in the text, we have now discovered phyB has an active function in FR light. Even striking is that the R and FR light exert an opposite effect. Thus, FR light is not simply nullifying the R effect but has an opposing effect to R light. What is more interesting is that the phyB-mediated actions of FR and R light occur at different cellular compartment of the plant cell, cytosol and nucleus, respectively, which was proven through utilization of the cytosolic and nuclear-localized mutant versions of phyB. Our observations thus shoot down a major dogma in plant physiology and will be considered highly provocative in phytochrome function. We argue that it would make much more sense that plants utilize the two isoforms rather than only one form, to effectively monitor the changing environmental light information and to incorporate the information into their developmental programs.
