A probability identification matrix of acidophilic Streptomyces was constructed. The phenetic data of the strains were derived from numerical classification described by Seong et al. The minimum number of diagnostic characters was determined using computer programs for calculation of different separation indices. The resulting matrix consisted of 25 clusters versus 53 characters. Theoretical evaluation of this matrix was achieved by estimating the chuster overlap and the identification scores for the Hypothetical Median Organisms (HMO) and for the representatives of each cluster. Cluster overlap was found to be relatively small. Identification scores for the HMO and the randomly selected representatives of each cluster were satisfactory. The matrix was assessed practically by applying the matrix to the identification of unknown isolates. Of the unknown isolates, 71.9% were clearly identified to one of eight clusters. The numerical classification data was also used to design a selective isolation medium for antibiotic-producing organisms. Four chemical substances including 2 antibiotics were determined by the DLACHAR program as diagnostic for the isolation of target organisms which have antimicrobial activity against Micrococcus luteus. It was possible to detect the increased rate of selective isolation on the synthesized medium. Theresults show that the numerical phenetic data can be applied to a variety of purposes, such as construction of identification matrix and selective isolation medium for acidophilic antinomycetes.

IC 443 is famous for its interaction with nearby molecular clouds and intense H2 emission lines in infrared. Therefore, it has been studied extensively for the understanding of molecular shocks. We observed H2 mission lines toward the shock-cloud interaction regions of IC 443, known as clumps B, C, and G. The observations were performed with the InfraRed Camera (IRC) onboard a satellite AKARI over 2.5-5.0 um, where previous space observations, e.g. Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) and Spitzer, do not cover. Our AKARI observations provide spectra of sequential pure-rotational and ro-vibrational H2 emission lines. For the clumps C and G, combining with previous mid-infrared observational results, we found that the H2 level populations show a significant separation between v=0 and v=1 levels; v=1 levels are under-populated than v=0 levels, therefore, the population cannot be described by two temperature LTE model, as many people have analyzed for the shocked H2 gas. We also applied the thermal admixture model, dN(H2; T)~T^(-b) dT, with varying ortho-to-para ratios according to the temperature, to describe the level population, and obtained plausible ranges of the H2 gas density and power-law index b.

Porcine liver cysteinesulfinic acid decarboxylase was purified approximately 460-fold by means of ammonium sulfate fractionation and sequential column chromatographic separation with Sephadex G-100, DEAE-cellulose and hydroxylapatite. The enzyme has a flat pH profile with maximum activity occurring between pH 6.0 and 7.6. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate must be present in all buffers used for purification procedures in order to stabilize the enzyme. Addition of sulfhydryl reagents such as 2-mercaptoethanol are also necessary to maintain maximum enzyme activity throughout purification. The absorption spectrum shows that cysteinesulfinic acid decarboxylase is a pyridoxal 5' -phosphate-containing protein. The major absorption is at 280 nm with two smaller absorption regions, one at 425 nm which is ascribed to a Schiffs base between pyridoxal phosphate and protein, and another at 325 nm which is thought to be due to the interaction of 2-mercaptoethanol with the Schiffs base. A number of divalent cations tested did not affect enzyme activity with the exception of mercury, copper, and zinc which are inhibitory. The partially purified enzyme has an apparent $K_m$ of 0.94 mM for cysteinesulfinate. Cysteic acid is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme with a $K_i$ of 1.32 mM. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be about 79,600 by using Sephadex G-200 column chromatography.

Using first principles calculations we unveil fundamental mechanism of hydrolysis reactions of two hazardous chemicals $PCl_3$ and $POCl_3$ with molecular water clusters nearby. It is found that the water molecules play a key role as a catalyst significantly lowing the activation barriers by transferring its protons to the reaction intermediates. Interestingly, torsional angles of molecular complexes at transition states are identified as a vital descriptor on the reaction rate. Analysis of charge distribution over the complexes further reinforces the finding with atomic level correlation between the torsional angle and variation of the orbital hybridization state of P in the complex. Electronic charge separation (or polarization) enhances thermodynamic stability of the activated complex at transition state and reduces the activation energy through hydrogen bonding network with water molecules nearby. Calculated potential energy surfaces (PES) for the hydrolysis reactions of $PCl_3$ and $POCl_3$ depict their two contrastingly different profiles of double- and triple-deep wells, respectively. It is ascribed to the unique double-bonding O=P in the $POCl_3$. Our results on the activation free energy show well agreements with previous experimental data within $7kcalmol^{-1}$ deviation.

Wood chips of oak(Quercus mongolica) and larch(Larix leptolepis) were treated with low pressure steaming explosion. Main components of exploded wood were separated with hot water and methanol extraction. Crude lignin separated from those extractives were purified and those chemical characteristics were investigated. And also, lignin adhesive was prepared from crude lignin and studied those chemical characteristics. The results can be summarized as follows ; 1. The purified lignin by Bj$\ddot{o}$kman's method from crude lignin is about 30% in exploded oak wood and is about 11% in exploded larch wood as a low amount. 2. The phenolic hydroxyl groups in the purified lignins are little higher than those of MWL and molecular weight distributions of the purified lignins are some lower than that of MWL. 3. Alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation products are very low in the clude lignin but those are increased in the purified lignin 4. The gravity of lignin resins(1.15 and 1.13) are a little lower than that of phenol resin(1.16) and the compressive shearing strength of lignin resins are higher than those of phenol resin.

IPDI, PTAd 및 DMPA(음이온 중심)을 사용하여 폴리우레탄 아이오노머를 합성하고 여기에 물을 첨가하여 수분산 폴리우레탄을 제조하였다. 폴리올 분자량(Mn)이 분산상태 및 에멀젼 주사 필름의 열적, 기계적, 점탄성적 성질 및 팽윤에 미치는 영향을 측정하였다. 폴리올 분자량이 증가할수록 에멀젼 입경과 soft segment $T_{g}$는 감소하였으며, 용매팽윤, 에멀젼 점도, hard segment $T_{g}$는 증가하였다. 필름의 인장강도는 Mn = 1000에서 최소치를 나타냈으며, 파단신율은 폴리올 분자량 증가와 더불어 증가하였는데 이러한 결과는 soft-hard segment 상분리와 고분자량 PTAd의 결정화로 적절히 설명할 수 있었다.

The soybean $\beta$-amylase ($\alpha$-1, 4-glucan maltohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.2) is composed of seven isozymes(I', I, II, III, IV, V and VI), and isozyme II and IV are the main components among these. The Purification of $\beta$-amylase isozymes from soybean whey were performed by ammonium sulfate fractionation, CM-Sephadex C-50 column chromatography, DEAE-Sephadex chromatography and Gel filtration. The resulted purity of $\beta$-amylase was throughly confirmed by electrophoresis, and then determined its isoelectric point and molecular weight. The results obtained were as follows, 1. Five active fractions of soybean p-amylase were derived on CM-Sephadex C-50 column chromatography. 2. Seven active bands of p-amylase isozymes were detected by isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis, and their isoelectric points(I' to VI) were 5.07, 5.15, 5.25, 5.40, 5.55, 5.70 and 5.93, respectively. 3. Isozyme II and IV were main components of soybean $\beta$-amylase. 4. The molecular weights of both isozyme II and IV were determined to be 56,000 daltons by the result of SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 5. Km values of main isozyme II & IV for amylopectin were determined to be 2.25 mg/ml, which suggest the same function of each isozyme.

Adipocytes have been known to secrete a number of important proteins called adipokines with roles in energy metabolism, reproduction, cardiovascular function and immunity. In this study we have attempted to identify intensively secretory proteins from 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated into mature adipocytes and then the cells were left in serum-free medium. The supernatant was filtrated and dialyzed. Lyophilized secretome was fractionated by two different methods, 1-D SDS PAGE and RP-FPLC. The tryptic peptides from the gel slices and the FPLC fractions were analyzed by nanoLC/ESI-MS/MS. We identified a total of 303 identical proteins from two methods, 251 proteins from 1-D gel and 184 proteins from RP-FPLC. 86 of them were listed as a secretory protein Finally, we identified many known or unknown secreted proteins existed in the low level including adiponectin, angiotensinogen, bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP-1), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), insulin like growth factor-II (IGF-II), interleukin-6 (IL-6), follistatin-related protein-1, minecan, and resistin. The existence of some of secreted proteins has been confirmed in RNA level. This proteomic experiment is useful for the intensive screening of secretory proteins in many kinds of other cells.
