Histones, nuclear proteins that interact with DNA to form nucleosomes, are essential for both the regulation of transcription and the packaging of DNA within chromosomes. The N-terminal domain of histone H4 which contains four acetylation sites at lysines, may play a separate role in chromatin structure from the remainder of the H4 chain. NMR data suggest that H4NTP peptide does have relating disordered structure at physiological pH, however, it has a defined structure at lower pH conditions. The solution structure calculated from NMR data shows a well structured region comprising residues of Val21-Asp24. In addition, our results suggest that the H4NTP prefers an extended backbone conformation at acetylation sites, however, it (especially Lys 12 ) became more defined structures after acetylation for its optimum function.

$^1H$-NMR spectroscopy was used to detect apoptosis in HL-60 cells in vitro. The relationship between cell apoptosis and NMR data was validated by the flow cytometry assay. To evaluate the NMR apoptosis results, the ratio of methylene and methyl groups caused by lipids was used. In addition, an identical analysis was applied to HepG2 cells. Detection of apoptotic cell death by NMR spectroscopy was oserved.

The NMR detection of methyl groups is of keen interest because they provide the long-range distance information required to establish global folds of high molecular weight proteins. Using longitudinal $^1H$ relaxation optimization, we achieve a gain in sensitivity of approximately 1.6-fold in the methyl-TROSY and its NOESY experiments for the 38 kDa protein mitogen activated protein kinase p38 in its fully protonated and $^{13}C$ and $^{15}N$ labeled state.

Polyhydroxyalkanoic acid (PHA) inclusion bodies were analyzed in situ by $^{13}C$-nuclear magnetic resonance ($^{13}C$-NMR) spectroscopy. The PHA inclusion bodies studied were composed of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) or poly(3hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate), which was accumulated in Hydrogenophaga pseudoflava, and medium-chain-length PHA (MCL-PHA), which was accumulated in Pseudomonas fluorescens BM07 from octanoic acid or 11-phenoxyundecanoic acid (11-POU). The quantification of the $^{13}C$-NMR signals was conducted against a standard compound, sodium 2,2-dimethyl-2-silapentane-5-sulfonate (DSS). The chemical shift values for the in vivo NMR spectral peaks agreed well with those for the corresponding purified PHA polymers. The intracellular degradation of the PHA inclusions by intracellular PHA depolymerase(s) was monitored by in vivo NMR spectroscopy and analyzed in terms of first-order reaction kinetics. The H. pseudoflava cells were washed for the degradation experiment, transferred to a degradation medium without a carbon source, but containing 1.0 g/l ammonium sulfate, and cultivated at $35^{\circ}C$ for 72 h. The in vivo NMR spectra were obtained at $70^{\circ}C$ for the short-chain-length PHA cells whereas the spectra for the aliphatic and aromatic MCL-PHA cells were obtained at $50^{\circ}C\;and\;80^{\circ}C$, respectively. For the H. pseudoflava cells, the in vivo NMR kinetics analysis of the PHA degradation resulted in a first-order degradation rate constant of 0.075/h ($r^{2}$=0.94) for the initial 24 h of degradation, which was close to the 0.050/h determined when using a gas chromatographic analysis of chloroform extracts of sulfuric acid/methanol reaction mixtures of dried whole cells. Accordingly, it is suggested that in vivo $^{13}C$-NMR spectroscopy is an important tool for studying intracellular PHA degradation in terms of kinetics.

The human protein tyrosine kinase-6 (PTK6) polypeptide that is deduced from the cDNA sequence contains a Src homology (SH) 3 domain, SH2 domain, and catalytic domain of tyrosine kinase. We initiated biochemical and NMR characterization of PTK6 SH3 domain in order to correlate the structural role of the PTK6 using circular dichroism and heteronuclear NMR techniques. The circular dichroism data suggested that the secondary structural elements of the SH3 domain are mainly composed of $\beta$-sheet conformations. It is most stable when the pH is neutral based on the pH titration data. In addition, a number of cross peaks at the low-field area of the proton chemical shift of the NMR spectra indicated that the PTK6 SH3 domain retains a unique and folded conformation at the neutral pH condition. For other pH conditions, the SH3 domain became unstable and aggregated during NMR measurements, indicating that the structural stability is very sensitive to pH environments. Both the NMR and circular dichroism data indicate that the PTK6 SH3 domain experiences a conformational instability, even in an aqueous solution.

Multinuclear solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments were performed to investigate the local structure changes of nanoporous silica during hydrothermal treatment and surface modification with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APTES). The nanoporous silica was prepared by sol-gel polymerization using inexpensive sodium silicate as a silica precursor. Using $^1H$ magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra, the hydroxyl groups, which play an important role in surface reactions, were probed. Various silicon sites such as $Q^2$, $Q^3$, $Q^4$, $T^2$, and $T^3$ were identified with $^{29}Si$ cross polarization (CP) MAS NMR spectra and quantified with $^{29}Si$ MAS NMR spectra. The results indicated that about 25% of the silica surface was modified. $^1H$ and $^{29}Si$ NMR data proved that the hydrothermal treatment induced dehydration and dehyroxylation. The $^{13}C$ CP MAS and $^1H$ MAS NMR spectra of 3-APTES attached on the surface of nanoporous silica revealed that the amines of the 3-aminopropyl groups were in the chemical state of ${NH_3}^+$ rather than $NH_2$.

대장균 효소 ${\beta}$-gal를 이용하여 합성된 BzO-gal의 분자구조를 NMR ($^1H$-와 $^{13}C$-)과 고성능 mass spectrometry를 이용하여 분석하였다. BzO-gal은 $^1H$ NMR에서 14개의 proton으로부터 12개의 피크를 나타내었다. 방향족 고리에서 오는 5개의 proton 피크와 벤질기의 $CH_2$에서 오는 2개의 proton 피크는 벤질알코올이 존재함을 나타낸다. 지방족 사슬 영역인 ${\delta}_H$ 4.32 ~ 3.46 ppm에서 나타나는 7개의 proton 피크로부터 단당류가 도입되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. $^{13}C$ NMR 스팩트럼에서 나타난 11개의 carbon 피크도 또한 벤질알코올에 단당이 도입되었음을 나타낸다. BzO-gal의 분자량을 확인하기 위하여 mass spectrometry 로 분석한 결과 m/z가 293.0994인 BzO-gal의 sodium adduct ion($[M+Na]^+$)을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 세포독성이 감소된 첨가물 개발을 기대하고 있으며, 추가적인 후속연구를 진행할 예정이다.

명목상의 무수 광물의 수소 원자는 격자의 결함에 존재하는 것으로 알려져 있지만, 나노 스케일 입자의 경우 입자 표면에 물과 수산기의 형태로 존재할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 비정질 규산염 나노입자의 수소 원자 환경에 대한 정량 측정 방법으로서, 1H 고상 핵자기 공명(solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR) 분광분석의 실효성을 알아보고자 하였다. 온도와 습도가 조절되는 글러브 박스 내에서 NMR 로터에 패킹된 비정질 규산염 나노입자를 25%와 70 % 상대습도에서 2일에서 10일까지 동안 보관한 후 1H NMR 스펙트럼을 측정한 결과, 약간의 차이는 있었으나 큰 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 이는 NMR 로터에 패킹된 시료의 수소 원자 환경이 외부 대기에 의해 거의 변화하지 않았음을 의미한다. 수화 시간에 따른 비정질 규산염 나노입자의 함수량은 약 10 % 범위에서 차이를 보이며, 이는 글러브 박스의 시간적, 공간적 습도 불균일성에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 1H NMR 스펙트럼의 정량 분석 결과, 수화 상대습도가 증가함에 따라 비정질 규산염 나노입자의 수소 원자 수 역시 선형적으로 증가하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 NMR 로터의 시료 밀폐 능력이 수화 환경을 보존하며, 대기 상대습도 변화에 따른 나노입자의 함수량 변화 측정에 적합함을 의미한다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해, 1H 고상 핵자기 공명 분광분석을 이용하여 나노 스케일의 명목상의 무수 광물의 표면적, 결정도가 습도에 따른 광물의 함수량 변화에 미치는 영향에 대한 체계적인 연구를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The mode of transglycosylation reaction observed during the action of low-molecular-weight 1,4-$\beta$-D-glucan glucanohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.4) purified from Trichoderma koningii ATCC 26113 was investigated using $^{1}H-NMR $spectroscopy. The H-1 proton resonances were analysed. After reaction of the enzyme with cellotriose, the reaction products were separated by high performance liquid chromatography. H-1 resonances of the products were consisted with those of cellobiose, cellotriose and cellotitraose, respectively. Therefore it was proved that all the reaction products formed by the action of the enzyme on cellooligosaccharides, including transglycosylation products, possess only H-NMR -1,4-glycosidic linkage(s).

Human CD99 is a ubiquitous 32-kDa transmembrane protein encoded by the mic2 gene. The major cellular functions of CD99 protein are related to homotypic cell adhension, apoptosis, vesicular protein transport, and differentiation of thymocytes or T cells. Recently it has been reported that expression of a splice variant of CD99 transmembrane protein (Type I and Type II) increases invasive ability of human breast cancer cells. To understand structural basis for cellular functions of CD99 (Type I), we have initiated studies on hCD99$^{TMcytoI}$ and hCD99$^{cytoI}$ using circular dichroism (CD) and multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. CD spectrum of hCD99$^{TMcytoI}$ in the presence of 200mM DPC and CHAPS displayed an existence $\alpha$-helical conformation. The solution structure of hCD99$^{cytoI}$ determined by NMR is composed of one N-terminal $\alpha$-helix, $\alpha$A, two C-terminal short $\alpha$-helix segments, $\alpha$B and $\alpha$C. While $\alpha$A and $\alpha$B are connected by the long flexible loop, $\alpha$B and $\alpha$C connected by type III$\beta$-turn. Although it has been rarely figured out the correlation between structure and functional mechanism of hCD99$^{TMcytoI}$ and hCD99$^{cytoI}$, there is possibility of dimerization or oligomerization. In addition, the feasible mechanism of hCD99$^{cytoI}$ is that it could have intramolecular interaction between the N- and C- terminal domain through large flexible AB loop.
