In this study, we synthesized a new fluorescent polypyridyl dye 2 containing a 2,2'-bipyridine in the center and two 2,2':6',2"-terpyridines at both ends. When exposed to various metal ions, the dye 2 showed selective fluorescence responses. In the presence of $Cu^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$, it exhibited a highly effective fluorescence quenching, leading to large $K_{sv}$ values of up to $10^5$. In response to most other metal ions including $Al^{3+}$, in contrast, its fluorescence changes little, showing a small Ksv value at $10^2$. Meanwhile, the compound 2 revealed a differentiated fluorescence response to $Zn^{2+}$, which is evidenced by a large red shift of > 100 nm. Such a red shift from the ion binding is attributed to the planarization of the bipyridyl unit extending the effective conjugation length in conjunction. A polypyridyl compound will find important usefulness in chemosensor application due to its selective binding to metal ions. Subsequent research concerned with modified derivatives is currently going on, as a way to provide high solubility even after metal-complexing.

A new rhodamine-based sensor 1 was designed and synthesized by incorporating rhodamine B and benzimidazole moieties. Sensor 1 exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity to $Cu^{2+}$ in $CH_3CN$-water solution (HEPES buffer, pH = 7.0) with an obvious color change from colorless to pink. Other metal ions such as $Hg^{2+}$, $Ag^+$, $Pb^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$, $Ba^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Ce^{3+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $K^+$ and $Na^+$ had no such color change and have no significant influence on $Cu^{2+}$ recognition process. The interaction of $Cu^{2+}$ and sensor 1 was proven to adopt a 1:1 binding stoichiometry and the recognition process is reversible.

재래종 황색계자두 효소와 4종류의 polyphenol 화합물과 반응시켜 얻어진 효소적 갈변반응 생성물에 대하여 변이원성 및 변이원 억제작용에 관한 실험결과 B. subtilis H17과 M45 두 균주를 이용한 rec-assay에서 4종류의 갈변반응 생성물 모두 변이원성은 없었다. rec-assay에서 금속이온의 영향을 실험한 결과 pyrogallol의 갈변반응 생성물의 경우 $Fe^{3+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Ni^{2+}\;Al^{2+}$에서 약한 영향을 받았으며 hydroxyhydroquinone의 갈변반응 생성물에서는 $Cu^{2+},\;Pb^{2+}$, 그리고 catechol의 갈변반응 생성물에서는 $Mn^{2+}$ 공존하에서 약한 영향을 받았다. DNA절단실험 결과 갈변반응 생성물 자체에 의해서는 4종류의 시료 모두 DNA절단능력은 없었다. 금속이온의 영향에서는 $Fe^{2+}$의 경우 그 자체에 의해 절단되었으며 $Cu^{2+}$은 DNA 절단을 촉진하는 것으로 나타났다. S-9 mix를 첨가한 돌연변이 유발실험에서는 4종류의 갈변반응 생성물 모두 농도증가에도 변이원성은 없었으며 변이원 물질인 $benzo\;{\alpha}\;pyrene$에 대한 돌연변이원 억제반응에서는 4종류의 갈변반응 생성물 모두 농도증가에 따라 대조구에 비해 강한 억제작용을 나타냈다. 따라서 재래종 황색계 자두로부터 추출한 polyphenol oxidase와 4종류의 polyphenol 화합물과 반응시켜 얻어진 효소적 갈변반응 생성물의 들연변이원성 실험결과 갈변반응 생성물자체에 의한 돌연변이원성은 없었으며 금속이온의 영향도 받지 않는 것으로 나타났으나 강력한 발암물질인 $benzo\;{\alpha}\;pyrene$을 사용한 돌연변이 억제실험에서는 4종류의 갈변반응 생성물 모두 강한 돌연변이 억제작용이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Altered mRNA expression of two metallothionein isoforms (MT-IA and MT-IB) in response to acute heavy metal exposure was examined in mud loach, Misgurnus mizolepis, fry using a real-time RTPCR assay. Sublethal exposure (1 or 5 ${\mu}M$) to Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Zn resulted in highly variable transcriptional responses of the two MT isoforms to the heavy metal ions, including upregulation, a steady state, and downregulation. Overall, the most potent inducer of both MT isoforms was Cd (up to 6-fold). Another exposure experiment using a series of doses of Cu revealed that the stimulation patterns of the two MT isoforms differed: MT-IA transcription was soon saturated at higher concentrations (about 2-fold at 1-4 ${\mu}M$ of Cu), whereas the activation of MT-IB was more dependent on the treatment dose (increased up to 5-fold at 3 ${\mu}M$). The isoform-specific allotment of constitutive and inducible functions was not as clear in fry as in adult tissues. Coordinated interaction between the MT-IA and MT-IB isoforms was hypothesized based on the finding that MT-IA represented a primary action under 'less stressful' or 'sublethal' conditions, whereas the activation of MT-IB became important under 'more stressful' or 'lethal' circumstances in this species.

To quantify the presence of mercuric ions in aqueous solution, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) of poly(dT) was employed using a light switch compound, $Ru(phen)_2(dppz)^{2+}$ (1) which is reported to intercalate into dsDNA of a right-handed B-form. Addition of mercuric ions induced the dehybridization of poly(dT)${\cdot}$poly(dA) duplexes to form a hairpin structure of poly(dT) at room temperature and the metal-to-ligand charge transfer emission derived from the intercalation of 1 was reduced due to the dehybridization of dsDNA. As the concentration of $Hg^{2+}$ was increased, the emission of 1 progressively decreased. This label-free emission method had a detection limit of 0.2 nM. Other metal ions, such as $K^+$, $Ag^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$, $Cr^{3+}$, $Fe^{3+}$, had no significant effect on reducing emission. This emission method can differentiate matched and mismatched poly(dT) sequences based on the emission intensity of dsDNA.

In this study, we investigated the inhibition effects of single and mixed heavy metal ions ($Zn^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;and\;Cd^{2+}$) on iron oxidation by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. Effects of metals on the iron oxidation activity of A. ferrooxidans are categorized into four types of patterns according to its oxidation behavior. The results indicated that the inhibition effects of the metals on the iron oxidation activity were noncompetitive inhibitions. We proposed a reduced inhibition model, along with the reduced inhibition constant ($\alpha_i$), which was derived from the inhibition constant ($K_I$) of individual metals and represented the tolerance of a given inhibitor relative to that of a reference inhibitor. This model was used to evaluate the toxicity effect (inhibition effect) of metals on the iron oxidation activity of A. ferrooxidans. The model revealed that the iron oxidation behavior of the metals, regardless of metal systems (single, binary, ternary, or quaternary), is closely matched to that of any reference inhibitor at the same reduced inhibition concentration, $[I]_{reduced}$, which defines the ratio of the inhibitor concentration to the reduced inhibition constant. The model demonstrated that single metal systems and mixed metal systems with the same reduced inhibitor concentrations have similar toxic effects on microbial activity.

Marasmius scorodonius secretes an extracellular laccase in potato dextrose broth, and this enzyme was purified up to 206-fold using $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ precipitation and a Hi-trap Q Sepharose column. The molecular mass of the purified laccase was estimated to be ~67 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The UV/vis spectrum of the enzyme was nontypical for laccases, and metal content analysis revealed that the enzyme contains 1 mole of Fe and Zn and 2 moles of Cu per mole of protein. The optimal pH for the enzymatic activity was 3.4, 4.0, and 4.6 with 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS), guaiacol, and 2,6-dimethoxy phenol as the substrate, respectively. The optimal temperature of the enzyme was $75^{\circ}C$ with ABTS as the substrate. The enzyme was stable in the presence of some metal ions such as $Ca^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Ba^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, and $Zn^{2+}$ at a low concentration (1 mM), whereas $Fe^{2+}$ completely inhibited the enzymatic activity. The enzymatic reaction was strongly inhibited by metal chelators and thiol compounds except for EDTA. This enzyme directly decolorized Congo red, Malachite green, Crystal violet, and Methylene green dyes at various decolorization rates of 63-90%. In the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole as a redox mediator, the decolorization of Reactive orange 16 and Remazol brilliant blue R was also achieved.

The strain of Aspergillus, 6368A, producing acid protease showing high activity was isolated from soil, as a result of wide research about mold group. This strain was identified as a species of Aspergillus tubingensis by the investigation of morphological characteristics. The change of the enzyme production under the various media and culture condition was also studied. The optimum pH and stability of crude acid protease are 2.5, 2.0~4.5 and the optimum temeprature and thermal inactivation waas shown $50^{\circ}C,\;55^{\circ}C$, respectively. From the result of the study on the effects of metal ions, it was found that $MnCl_2,\;CoCl_2,\;CuCl_2,\;SrCl_2,\;and\;NiCl_2$ slightly increased the enzyme activity, on the other hand $ZnCl_2,\;CaCl_2,\;MgCl_2,\;SLS,\;and\;KMnO_4$ decreased it.

New $N_2O_2$ donor type Schiff base has been designed and synthesized by condensing acetoacetanilido-4-aminoantipyrine with 2-aminobenzoic acid in ethanol. Solid metal complexes of the Schiff base with Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), VO(IV), Hg(II) and Cd(II) metal ions were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility, molar conduction, fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass, IR, UV-Vis, and $^1H$ NMR spectral studies. The data show that the complexes have the composition of ML type. The UV-Vis. and magnetic susceptibility data of the complexes suggest a square-planar geometry around the central metal ion except VO(IV) complex which has square-pyramidal geometry. The in vitro antifungal activities of the compounds were tested against fungi such as Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Rhizopus stolonifer, Candida albicans, Rhizoctonia bataicola and Trichoderma harizanum. All the metal complexes showed stronger antifungal activities than the free ligand. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the metal complexes were found in the range of $10{\sim}31{\mu}g/ml$.
