We investigated the effects of n-alkanols on the range and rate of the lateral diffusion of 1, 3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane in the model membranes of total phospholipid fraction extracted from synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles. n-Akanols increased the range and rate of the lateral diffusion of 1, 3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane in the bulk model membrane structures (inner + outer monolayers) and the potencies of n-alknols up to 1-nonanol increased by 1 order of magnitude as the carbon chain length increases by two carbon atoms. The cut-off phenomenon was reached at 1-decanol, where further icnrease in hydrocarbon length resulted in a decrease in the lateral diffusion. However, significant changes in the 1'/1 value were not observed by methanol (from 100 to 2500 mM), ethanol (from 25 to 800 mM), and 1-propanol (from 10 to 250 mM) over entire concentration.

Ethylene-bridged silsesquioxane resins were synthesized from two monomers: 1,2-bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane and methyltrimethoxysilane. The silsesquioxane thin films were spin-coated from the copolymerized resins on silicon wafer. Metal insulator metal (MIM), metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) devices were utilized to investigate the electrical properties of the copolymerized thin films. As the films were inserted as gate insulator in the OTFT devices, the field effect mobilitites were evaluated by employing Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as organic semiconductor, which shows that their dielectric properties and mobility values are dependent on the molecular structures and Si-OH concentration involving in the films.

Ab initio calculation is performed to estimate the substituent effects for Para-substituted pyridines. Electrostatic potentials are obtained from ab initio molecular orbital wavefunctions of optimized structures for substituted pyridines. Electrostatic potentials are computed to be minimum at nitrogen atom of pyridines. The potential minima are good correlated with the substituent constants, ${\sigma}_p$ and with the ${\Delta}pKa$. It is shown that the electrostatic potential minima can be used as a measure of substituent effects.

3D-QSAR model that correlates the biological activities with the chemical structures of quipazine derivatives acting on the serotonine transporter (SERT) was developed by comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA). Total 8 models were constructed and a more accurate model, using close 1 $\AA$ grid spacing and StDev*Coefficients weight value gave better results. The contour maps with the best model, the resulting cross-validated correlation ($q^2$ : 0.744), and non-cross-validated correlation ($r^2$ : 0.966) indicate the steric and electrostatic environment of inhibitors in the SERT binding pocket. This study can be used as a putative picture of the pharmacophore in the design of novel and potent inhibitors.

We have examined the structures and cellular distributions of the SV40 late RNAs present in monkey cells at late times after infection. One particular RNA species, spliced at residue 373(373-RNA), was found to be as abundant as the major late 16S RNAs. This result was unexpected since previous reports showed that the molecular ratio of the 373-spliced 19S RNA to 16S RNA is approximately 0.1 among either cytoplasmic polyadenylated or polysomal viral RNAs. Both sedimentation and electrophoretic analysis indicated that the 373-RNA was approximately 16S to 19S in size. Therefore, it was not a splicing intermediate or the product of premature termination of transcription within the late leader region. Whereas most SV40 late 16S RNA is polyadenylated and located in the cytoplasm, the majority of 373-RNA was found to lack poly A, and be located in the nucleus.

Novel compounds with rod and disc mesogens were synthesized and characterized. The molecular structures were confirmed by FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The optical properties of these molecules were investigated by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and photo-luminescence spectroscopy. We found that they are a novel series of blue light-emitting molecules. The absorption spectra peaks of these compounds varied from 336 nm-341 nm, while the maximum emissions centered form 410 nm-450 nm in chloroform solution. However, unexpectedly we could not found their biaxiality and mesomorphic properties by POM, conoscopy and DSC method.

Langmur-Blodgett (LB) method has a unique characteristic of making molecularly mutilayered aggregation structures. LB method makes the thickness of organic insulation layer controllable at molecular scale in various electronic devices. In this study, the organic materials applicable to crosslinked LB insulation layers of electronic devices have developed and the electrical properties of their LB films have examined such as Brewster angle microscopy(BAM), Scanning Maxwell-stress microscopy(SMM), and Current-voltage(1-V) properties.

We studied on the ultra thin DMPC by Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method. The $\pi$ -A isotherm of the DMPC was measured at the air-water interface varying with the compressing speed and amounts of solutions for spreading. DMPC molecules have one phosphatidylcholine head group and two long alky groups with carbonyl group. Displacement currents generated during the compression of monolayers of DMPC on the surface of water were investigated. The molecular arrangement of deposited films were evaluated by measuring the absorption with the UVspectrometer. And we made structures of metal(Au)/DMPC/Metal(Au) and examined electron through DMPC LB films by means of current-voltage(I-V) measurement .

The growth and characterization of $In_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}As/In_{0.5}Al_{0.5}As$ narrow-gap inverted high electron mobility transistor structures, developed as a candidate material for spin-injection devices, are presented in this study. We have grown samples possessing surface $In_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}As$ channels of different thicknesses (30 nm and 60 nm) both with and without a thin 3 nm $In_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}As$ cap layer by using molecular beam epitaxy. We then investigated the in-plane transport properties as well as the Rashba spin-orbit coupling constant of the two-dimensional electron gas confined at the heterojunction interface.

Recently a fullerene isoxazoline was reported as an example for nanoscale connectors in molecular electronic devices. The construction of nanoscale devices is a potentially important area of technology. By using the semiempirical PM3 calculation, we optimized the structures for two fullerene isoxazoline derivatives and thirteen regioisomers of the second addition of a nitride oxide to a fullerene isoxazoline derivative. Our results suggest that fullerene isoxazoline derivatives could be used as nanoscale connectors with the possibility of attaching of spacer units in a specific angle arrangement.
