Interest in application of ultraviolet light technology for primary disinfection of potable water in drinking water treatment plants has increased significantly in recent years. The efficacy of disinfection processes in water purification systems is governed by several key factors, including reactor hydraulics, disinfectant chemistry, and microbial inactivation kinetics.

선박평형수 처리에의 적용을 목적으로 다양한 미생물 농도, 소독제 주입량, pH 조건에서 이산화염소의 소독 효과를 조사하였다. 살균 반응 속도 및 소독 부산물 생성 여부는 선박평형수 처리에 일반적으로 사용되는 소독제인 염소와 비교 평가하였다. 선박평형수 배출 규제 항목인 E. coli 와 Enterococcus의 이산화염소에 의한 사멸 효과는 유사 2차 반응으로 모사하였다. 선박평형수 처리를 위한 최적 이산화염소 투입 농도는 1 mg/L으로 나타났다. pH 7.2 - 9.2 범위에서 이산화염소의 살균 반응 속도 상수의 변화폭이 5% 이내였던데 비해 같은 유효염소 농도에서의 염소의 살균 반응 속도 상수는 E. coli 기준 17%, Enterococcus 기준 25% 감소하여 약 염기성인 선박평형수의 소독에 이산화염소가 염소에 비해 효과적임을 확인하였다. 또한 생태계를 교란할 수 있는 소독 부산물 생성에 있어서도 염소에 비해 현격히 낮은 결과를 보였다. 소독 후 장기 보관 시 30일까지는 지표 세균 및 플랑크톤의 재증식은 발견되지 않았다. 이산화염소는 선박평형수에 적합한 소독제로 판단된다.

The succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase from bovine brain was inactivated by treatment with phenylglyoxal, a reagent that specifically modifies arginine residues. The inhibition at various phenylglyoxal concentrations shows pseudo-first-order kinetics with an apparent secondorder rate constant of 30 $M^{-1}min^{-1}$ for inactivation. Partial protection against inactivation was provided by the coenzyme $NAD^+$, but not by the substrate succinic semialdehyde. Spectrophotometric studies indicated that complete inactivation of the enzyme resulted from the binding of 2 mol phenylglyoxal per mol of enzyme. These results suggest that essential arginine residues, located at or near the coenzyme-binding site, are connected with the catalytic activity of brain succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase.

Peroxidase의 최적 pH와 온도는 p-phenylenediamine과 $H_2O_2$를 기질로 하였을 때 각각 5.5와 $35^{\circ}C$이었고, 열불활성화 반응은 biphasic으로 heat labile fraction의 $E_a$와 Z값은 각각 48.2kcal/mol 과 $11.2^{\circ}C$, heat resistant fraction의 $E_a$와 Z값은 각각 36.3kcal/mol과 $14.9^{\circ}C$이었다. Peroxidase에 의한 갈변은 sodium diethyldithiocarbamate와 potassium metabisulfite는 10mM에서, L-cysteine과 ascorbic acid는 1mM에서 현저하게 저해되었다.

전 세계적으로 병원성 미생물에 의한 오염과 감염 및 발병의 사례가 급증함에 따라 병원성 미생물을 효율적으로 제어하는 기술에 대한 관심이 매우 증가하고 있다. 병원성 미생물을 환경에서 제어하는 연구는 대다수 수처리 공정과 같이 물에서 이루어지는 소독과 관련되어 진행되어 왔고, 표면에서의 소독에 관련된 연구는 매우 부족하였다. 본 연구는 UV 소독 방법을 표면에 분포된 미생물의 불활성화에 대해서 적용하여 살펴보았고, 소독 모델을 통해서 정량화하였다. 특히, 생물테러용 무기로 잘알려진 탄저균(Bacillus anthracis)의 지표 미생물인 바실러스 포자(Bacillus subtilis spore)에 대해서 UV를 이용한 표면 소독시 매우 빠른 불활성화를 볼 수 있었으며, 2 log(99%) 불활성화를 위한 IT 값은 14.5 $mJ/cm^2$으로 나타났다. UV에 의한 미생물 불활성화는 화학적 소독제의 경우와 달리 온도에 의한 영향은 나타나지 않았으나, 표면 거칠기(surface roughness)에 의한 뚜렷한 tailing off 현상이 나타났다.

The chromosome 7-linked long QT syndrome (LQT2) is caused by mutations in the human ether-a- go-go-related gene (HERG) that encodes the rapidly activating delayed rectifier $K^+$ current, $I_{Kr},$ in cardiac myocytes. Different types of mutations have been identified in various locations of HERG channel. One of the mechanisms for the loss of normal channel function is due to membrane trafficking of channel protein. The decreased channel function in some deletion mutants appears to be due to loss of coupling with wild type HERG to form the functional channel as the tetramer. Most of missense mutants with few exceptions could interact with wild type HERG to form functional tetramer and caused dominant negative suppression with co-injection with wild type HERG showing variable effects on current amplitude, voltage dependence, and kinetics of activation and inactivation. Two missense mutants at pore regions of HERG found in Japanese LQT2 (A614V and V630L) showed accentuated inward rectification due to a negative shift in steady-state inactivation and fast inactivation. One mutation in S4 region (R534C) produced a negative shift in current activation, indicating the S4 serving as the voltage sensor and accelerated deactivation. The C-terminus mutation, S818L, could not express the current by mutant alone and did not show dominant negative suppression with co-injection of equal amount of wild type cRNA. Co-injection of excess amount of mutant with wild type produced dominant negative suppression with a shift in voltage dependent activation. Therefore, multiple mechanisms are involved in different mutations and functional abnormality in LQT2. Further characterization with the interactions between various mutants in HERG and the regulatory subunits of the channels (MiRP1 and minK) is to be clarified.

Saccharomycopsis lipolytica ATCC 44601에서 정제한 isocitrate lyase 반응산물의 축합반응과 개열반응은 $30^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0에서 분석되었다. Glyoxylate와 succinate의 축합반응에서 Km값은 각각 0.06 mM과 0.21 mM이었고, 개열 반응에서 glyoxylate는 직선적인 경쟁적 저해를, succinate는 직선적인 비경쟁적 저해를 나타내었으며 이때 Ki 값은 각각 0.22 mM과 0.82 mM이었다. 그러므로 이 kinetic분석은 이 효소가 축합 반응에서 glyoxylate가 succinate보다 먼저 결합하는 정서반응기구인 것을 나타내었다. 3-Bromopyruvate(BrP)의 불활성화는 포화 kinetics를 나타내면서 효소를 불가역적으로 불활성화하였으며 반감기는 0.15분이고 $K_{BrP}$는 0.032 mM이었으며, 기질과 반응생성물들을 불활성화에 대하여 보호작용이 있었다.

Redox regulation is one of the ubiquitous mechanisms to modulate ion channels. We here investigated how 5,5'-dithio-bis (2-nitrobenzoic acid), a cysteine specific oxidizing reagent, modulates $Ca_v3.1$ and $Ca_v3.2$ T-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Application of the reagent inhibited $Ca_v3.1$ and $Ca_v3.2$ currents in a dose-dependent manner. The oxidizing reagent (1 mM) reduced the peak amplitude of $Ca_v3.1$ and $Ca_v3.2$ currents by ~50% over 2-3 minutes and the decreased currents were fully recovered upon washout of it. The reagent slowed the activation and inactivation kinetics of $Ca_v3.1$, $Ca_v3.2$, and $Ca_v3.3$ channel currents. Notably, the reagent positively shifted both activation and steady-state inactivation curves of $Ca_v3.1$, while it did not those of $Ca_v3.2$. Utilizing chimeric channels from $Ca_v3.1$ and $Ca_v3.2$, we localized the domains III and IV of $Ca_v3.1$ responsible for the positive shifts of channel activation and steady-state inactivation. These findings provide hints relevant to the electrophysiological and molecular mechanisms accounting for the oxidative regulation of T-type channels.

A furocoumarin derivative, psoralen (7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one), was isolated from the n-hexane fraction of Heracleum moellendorffii Hance. We examined the effects of psor-alen on a human Kv1.5 potassium channel (hKv1.5) cloned from human heart and stably expressed in Uk- cells. We found that psoralen inhibited the hKv1.5 current in a concentration-, use- and voltage-dependent manner with an IC$_{50}$ value of 180 $\pm$ 21 nM at +60 mV. Psoralen accelerated the inactivation kinetics of the hKv1.5 channel, and it slowed the deactivation kinetics of the hKv1.5 current resulting in a tail crossover phenomenon. These results indicate that psoralen acts on the hKv1.5 channel as an open channel blocker. Furthermore, psoralen prolonged the action potential duration of rat atrial muscles in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, the present results strongly suggest that psoralen may be an ideal antiarrhythmic drug for atrial fibrillation.

Torilin was purified from Torilis japonica (Houtt.) DC., and its effects on a rapidly activating delayed rectifier $K^+$ channel (hKv1.5), cloned from human heart and stably expressed in Ltk cells, as well as the corresponding $K^+$ current (the ultrarapid delayed rectifier, $I_{KUR}$) were assessed in human atrial myocytes. Using the whole cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique, torilin was found to inhibit the hKv1.5 current in time and voltage-dependent manners, with an $IC_50$ value of $2.51{\pm}0.34\;{\mu}M$ at +60 mV. Torilin accelerated the inactivation kinetics of the hKv1.5 channel, and slowed the deactivation kinetics of the hKv1.5 current, resulting in a tail crossover phenomenon. Additionally, torilin inhibited the hKv1.5 current in a use dependent manner. These results strongly suggest that torilin is a type of open-channel blocker of the hKv1.5 channel.
