${\beta}$-galactosidase를 공유결합으로 키토산 담체에 고정화하여 고정화 효소의 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 충진층 반응기에서 연속 조업을 실시하여 공정 최적화를 실시하였다. 키토산 담체에 대한 효소 고정화 효율은 최대 75%을 나타내었다. 고정화 효소에 대한 최적의 pH는 7.0이었고 최적의 온도는 $50^{\circ}C$였다. pH와 온도의 실험 범위에서 고정화 효소가 자유 효소에 비해 넓은 분포를 보여 pH와 온도에 덜 민감하게 작용하였다. 충진층 반응기에서 고정화 효소의 운전에 대한 수학적 모델을 세우고 수치적으로 해를 구하였다. 투입되는 유당의 농도와 유량에 대해서 충진층 반응기의 출구에서 유당의 전환율을 측정하였다. 실험 결과를 경쟁적 저해 효소 반응식과 물질전달 저항을 고려한 수학적 모델의 결과와 비교하였다. 모델의 결과는 실험 결과를 5% 이내의 오차로 잘 예측하였다. 그리고 충진층 반응기의 길이에 따른 유당 전환율과 연속운전 시간에 따른 효소의 비활성화를 고려한 전환율을 모델로부터 예측하였다.

Ion beam bombardment at low energy forms nanosize patterns such as ripples, dots or wrinkles on the surface of polymers in ambient temperature and pressure. It has been known that the ion beam can alter the polymer surface that induces skins stiffer or the density higher by higher compressive stress or strain energies associated with chain scissions and crosslinks of the polymer. Atomic scale structure evolution in polymers is essential to understand a stress generation mechanism during the ion beam bombardment, which governs the nanoscale surface structure evolution. In this work, Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are employed to characterize the phenomenon occurred in bombardment between the ion beam and polymers that forms nanosize patterns. We investigate the structure evolution of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) at 300 K as the polymer is bombarded with Argon ions having various kinetic energies ranging from 100 eV to 1 KeV with 50 eV intervals having the fluence of $1.45\;{\times}\;1014 #/cm2$. These simulations use the Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF), which can mimic chemical covalent bonds and includes van der Waals potentials for describing the intermolecular interactions. The results show the details of the structural evolution of LDPE by the low energy Ar ion bombardment. Analyses through kinetic and potential energy, number of crosslinks and chain scissions, level of local densification and motions of atoms support that the residual strain energies on the surface is strongly associated with the number of crosslinks or scissored chains. Also, we could find an optimal Ar ion beam energy to make crosslinks well.

Recently, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), which is III-V compound of boron and nitride by strong covalent sp2 bonds has gained great interests as a 2 dimensional insulating material since it has honeycomb structure with like graphene with very small lattice mismatch (1.7%). Unlike graphene that is semi-metallic, h-BN has large band gap up to 6 eV while providing outstanding properties such as high thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and good chemical stability. Because of these excellent properties, hBN can potentially be used for variety of applications such as dielectric layer, deep UV optoelectronic device, and protective transparent substrate. Low pressure and atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD and APCVD) methods have been investigated to synthesize h-BN by using ammonia borane as a precursor. Ammonia borane decomposes to polyiminoborane (BHNH), hydrogen, and borazine. The produced borazine gas is a key material that is a used for the synthesis of h-BN, therefore controlling the condition of decomposed products from ammonia borane is very important. In this paper, we optimize the decomposition of ammonia borane by investigating temperature, amount of precursor, and other parameters to fabricate high quality monolayer h-BN. Synthesized h-BN is characterized by Raman spectroscopy and its absorbance is measured with UV spectrophotometer. Topological variations of the samples are analyzed by atomic force microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy and Scanning transmission Electron microscopy are used for imaging and analysis of structures and surface morphologies.

유핵세포의 게놈(genome)은 단백-DNA복합체인 염색질(chromatin)의 형태로 존재하는데, 생명현상을 유지하기 위해서는 생명체 또는 세포가 처한 상황에 맞게 염색질의 구조를 변화시키는 역동적인 조절기전이 필요하다. 염색질을 구성하는 기본단위는 히스톤 8량체 (histone octamer)를 포함하는 뉴클레오좀(nucleosome)이다. 히스톤 단백에는 여러 종류의 공유결합성 수식이 일어나는데, 그 중 하나가 라이신 잔기(lysine residue)에 일어나는 메틸화이다. 최근 수년간의 연구로 여러 개의 히스톤 라이신 메틸화효소(histone lysine methyltransferase, HKMT), 이에 결합하는 염색질단백 및 메틸화와 관련된 후생유전학적 현상이 밝혀졌으며, 특히 정밀한 연구방법을 동원한 다방면의 실험을 통하여 비록 자세한 기전과 전체적인 윤곽의 규명은 미흡하더라도 라이신 메틸화가 후생유전학적 변화를 초래하는 일부 과정이 규명 되었다. 또한 여러 종류의 라이신 탈메틸화효소가 최근에 발견됨에 따라, 아세틸화, 인산화등 다른 공유결합성 수식보다는 상대 적으로 안정되더라도, 히스톤 메 틸화로 유발되는 후생유전학적 변화가 불가역성이 아님을 알게 되었다.

It has been known that the chitosan pre-treated fabrics can be dyed without the aid of mordanting process. It is due to the fact that chitosan treatment increases the dye uptake. However, the effect of chitosan on the dyeing mechanism has not been elucidated thus far. Following explanations have been presented regrading the action of the chitosan on the dyeing mechanisms: 1. Chitosan absorbs dyestuffs and facilitates dyeing since the chitosan itself has a good affinity toward dyestuffs. 2. Chitosan acts as a metallic mordant between the fiber molecule and dyestuff. 3. Fiber molecules and chitosan form a coordinate covalent bond. This study aims the quantitative investigation on the effect of the chitosan and the effect of sequence of the mordanting, pre-mordanting or post-mordanting, on the dyeing of the fabrics. Cotton fabrics and acylic fabrics were pre-treated with chitosan before dyeing with cochineal dyestuffs. Method 1: Fabrics were, firstly, mordanted with Al, Sn, Cu, and Fe; mordanted fabrics were, secondly, treated with chitosan; mordanted and chitosan-treated fabrics were, thirdly, dyed. Method 2: Fabrics were, firstly, treated with chitosan; chitosan-treated fabrics were, secondly, mordanted with Al, Sn, Cu, and Fe; these were dyed then. Method 2 gave distinguished specific color development with darker shade. Apart from this, chitosan-treated fabrics yielded darker shade compared to the pre-mordanted fabrics without chitosan-treatment.

미생물 세포를 효소 고정화 담체로 사용하여 ${\beta}-fructofuranosidase$를 고정화 시켰다. Penicillium spp. "K-8"로 명명된 곰팡이를 배양한 뒤 균체의 세포벽에 존재하는 다당체를 periodate와 반응시켜 활성화된 알데히드기를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 때 건조 세포 g당 periodate, 1.2g이 최적 농도이었고, 이 농도하에서 온도가 알데히드 형성에 미치는 영향은 거의 없었다. 활성화된 균체에 ${\beta}-fructofuranosidase$를 공유결합에 의하여 고정화시켰다. 더 높은 효소의 고정화를 위하여 이를 glutaraldehyde를 처리한 바 0.5%의 농도와 1시간의 반응조건에서 최대 효소 고정화율 26%를 나타내었다. 이 조건에 의해 제조한 고정화 효소는 kinetic parameters로서 최적온도가 $55^{\circ}C$, 최적 pH가 5, Km값이 55mM. Ea가 19kJ $mol^{-1}$이었다. 회분식 반응조내에서는 6번의 반복된 반응기간동안 고정화 효소 활성에 약간의 감소가 있었으나 비교적 좋은 역가의 안정성을 보여주었다.

Diabetes carries an increased risk of atherosclerotic disease that is not fully explained by known car-diovascular risk factors. There is accumulating evidence that advanced glycation of structural proteins, and oxidation and glycation of circulating lipoproteins, are implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic ather-osclerosis. Reactions involving glycation and oxidation of proteins and lipids are believed to contribute to atherogenesis. Glycation, the nonenzymatic binding of glucose to protein molecules, can increase the ather-ogenic potential of certain plasma constituents, including low density lipoptotein(LDL). Glycation of LDL is significant increased in diabetic patients compared with normal subjects, even in the presence of good glycemic control. Metabolic abnormalities associated with glycation of LDL include diminished recognition of LDL by the classic LDL receptor; increased covalent binding of LDL in vessel walls ; enhanced uptake of LDL by the macrophages, thus stimulating foam cell formation ; increased platelet aggregation; formation of LDL-immune complexes ; and generation of oxygen free radicals, resulting on oxidative damage to both the lipid and protein components of LDL and to any nearby macromolecules. Oxidized lipoproteins are characterzied by cytotoxicity, potent stimulation of foam cell formation by macrophages, and procoagulant effects. Combined glycation and oxidation, "glycoxidation" occurs when oxidative reactions affect the initial products of glycation, and results in irreversible structural alterations of proteins. Glycoxidation is of greatest significance in long lived proteins such as collagen. In these proteins, glycoxidation products, believed to be atherogenic, accumulate with advancing age : in diabetes, their rate of accumulate is accelerated. Inhibition of glycation, oxidation and glycoxidation may form the basis of future antiaterogenic strategies in both diabetic and nondiabetic individuals.dividuals.

Background: Injectable hydrogels have been extensively researched for the use as scaffolds or as carriers of therapeutic agents such as drugs, cells, proteins, and bioactive molecules in the treatment of diseases and cancers and the repair and regeneration of tissues. It is because they have the injectability with minimal invasiveness and usability for irregularly shaped sites, in addition to typical advantages of conventional hydrogels such as biocompatibility, permeability to oxygen and nutrient, properties similar to the characteristics of the native extracellular matrix, and porous structure allowing therapeutic agents to be loaded. Main body: In this article, recent studies of injectable hydrogel systems applicable for therapeutic agent delivery, disease/cancer therapy, and tissue engineering have reviewed in terms of the various factors physically and chemically contributing to sol-gel transition via which gels have been formed. The various factors are as follows: several different non-covalent interactions resulting in physical crosslinking (the electrostatic interactions (e.g., the ionic and hydrogen bonds), hydrophobic interactions, ${\pi}$-interactions, and van der Waals forces), in-situ chemical reactions inducing chemical crosslinking (the Diels Alder click reactions, Michael reactions, Schiff base reactions, or enzyme-or photo-mediated reactions), and external stimuli (temperatures, pHs, lights, electric/magnetic fields, ultrasounds, or biomolecular species (e.g., enzyme)). Finally, their applications with accompanying therapeutic agents and notable properties used were reviewed as well. Conclusion: Injectable hydrogels, of which network morphology and properties could be tuned, have shown to control the load and release of therapeutic agents, consequently producing significant therapeutic efficacy. Accordingly, they are believed to be successful and promising biomaterials as scaffolds and carriers of therapeutic agents for disease and cancer therapy and tissue engineering.

The garnets $Nd_{1-x}Bi_xY_2Fe_5O_{12}$ ($\chi$=0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) have been studied by x-rays, electron microscopy, ferromagnetic resonance, vibrating sample magnetometer and Mossbauer spectroscopy, Ultra-fine polycrystalline cubic samples have been prepared by a melt-salt routed sol-gel method. The Mossbauer spectra consist of two sets of six-line patterns corresponding to $Fe^{3+}$ at the tetrahedral 24(d) and octahedral 16(a) sites. Magnetic hyperfine fields of $Nd_{0.5}Bi_{0.5}Y_2Fe_5O_{12}$ at 12 K are found to be 548 kOe (octahedral site) and 475 kOe (tetrahedral site), respectively, It is found that Debye temperatures for the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of $Nd_{0.75}Bi_{0.25}Y_2Fe_5O_{12}$ are $\theta_{tet}=436$ K and $\theta_{oct}=285$ K, respectively, The iron ions at both sites are highly covalent ferric. The Nel temperature decreases linearly with Bi concentration, from 630 K fur $\chi$=0.0 to 600 K for $\chi$=1.0, suggesting that the superexchange interaction for the Nd-O-Fe link is stronger than that for the Bi-O-Fe link. As a consequence, the coercivity of $Nd_{1-x}Bi_xY_2Fe_5O_{12}$ drastically decreases and the magnetization remains almost constant as x increases.

그래핀 나노플레이트렛(GNP)은 현시점에서 가장 산업화 적용에 가까운 그래핀으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 현재 GNP는 그 우수한 생산량에도 불구하고 응집현상과 물리화학적 불균질성으로 인해 복합재에서의 강화재로 사용되기에는 제한이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 GNP의 문제 해결을 위해 산업화 레벨의 대량생산 공정으로 확장 가능한 비공유 기능기화공정을 이용하여 GNP를 기능기화하였다. 본 기능기화 공정은 저렴한 물질로 알려진 멜라민을 사용하여 GNP의 응집현상을 방지하는 동시에 극성 용매내에서의 분산성을 향상시켰다. 뿐만 아니라 기능기화된 GNP의 분산성의 차이를 이용한 염석법 공정을 적용, GNP를 크기 별로 정제하였다. 이처럼 본 연구는 언급한 기능기화와 분리 공정을 기반으로 하여 GNP의 복합소재/부품 산업 응용을 위한 전략을 제시하였다.
