The POCT (point-of-care test) sensing that has been a fast-developing field is expected to be a next generation technology in health care. The POCT sensors for the detection of proteins, small molecules and especially nucleic acids have lately attracted considerable attention. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the POCT methods are required to follow the ASSURED guidelines (Affordable, Sensitive, Specific, User- friendly, Robust and rapid, Equipment-free, Deliverable to all people who need the test). Recently, several CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) based diagnostic techniques using the sensitive gene recognition function of CRISPR have been reported. CRISPR/Cas (Cas, CRISPR associated protein) systems based detection technology is the most innovative gene analysis technology that is following the ASSURED guidelines. It is being re-emerged as a powerful diagnostic tool that can detect nucleic acids due to its characteristics that enable rapid, sensitive and specific analyses of nucleic acid. The first CRISPR-based diagnosis begins with the discovery of the additional function of Cas13a. The enzymatic cleavage occurs when the conjugate of Cas protein and CRISPR RNA (crRNA) detect a specific complementary sequence of the target sequence. Enzymatic cleavage occurs on not only the target sequence, but also all surrounding non-target single-stranded RNAs. This discovery was immediately utilized as a biosensor, and numerous sensor studies using CRISPR have been reported since then. In this review, the concept of CRISPR, the characteristics of the Cas protein required for CRISPR diagnosis, the current research trends of CRISPR diagnostic technology, and some aspects to be improved in the future are covered.

Changes in the contents of sugar, organic acid, free amino acid and uncleic acid-related compounds of leaf mustard-Kimchi during fermentation at 5~7$^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The leaf mustard-Kimchi was formulated with 4kg leaf mustard, 120g garlic, 80g ginger, 540ml salted anchovies, 1kg green onion, 200g red pepper powder, 200g ground red pepper, 60g whole sesame and 600ml glutinous rice paste. Changes in pH and acidity were relatively slow. Major free sugars were glucose(0.13%) and maltose(0.42%), and residual sugars(0.03-0.04%) were also detected after 32 days of fermentation. Major free amino acids containing more than 26.5mg% were proline, glutamic acid, alanine and histidine. Contents of total free amino acids increased from 244.8 to 397.2mg% by 24 days of fermentation. Of non-volatile organic acid, lactic acid was the most abundant(119.3mg%), and its content increased markedly after 10 days of fermentation. Other organic acids(below 53.1mg%) observed were malic, oxalic and citric acid. Contents of nucleic acid-related compounds were high in the order of hypoxanthine(22.8mg%), IMP(8.3mg%) and GMP(6.9mg%). Hypoxanthine content increased by 10 days(27.3mg%) and decreased thereafter, while the others decreased gradually during the overall period of fermentation.

dsRNA결합인자인 RBF단백질을 정제하여 이의 단일 또는 이중선의 RNA 또는 DNA 와의 결합도를 측정하였다ㅓ. RBF단백질은 이들과 각각 반응시켜 그 결합도는 SDS-PAGE에 의하여 비교관찰하였다. RBF단백질은 dsRNA와은 강한 결합력을 나타낸 반면 기타의 핵산구조에 대해서는 이러한 결과를 나타내지 못하였다. 인산화 실험의 결과, RBF단백질은 poly(I) : poly(C)의 존재하에서 사람 도는 쥐 모두로 부터의 PKR 효소의 자가인산화를 유사한 방식으로 억제하였다. 이는 다른 종류의 진핵세포생물에서 단백질합성조절을 위한 PKR과 RBF가 유사한 경쟁적 관련성을 유지하면서 존재함을 시사하고 있다.

Recent studies suggest a novel role of $HIF-1{\alpha}$ under nonhypoxic conditions, including antibacterial and antiviral innate immune responses. However, the identity of the pathogen-associated molecular pattern which triggers $HIF-1{\alpha}$ activation during the antiviral response remains to be identified. Here, we demonstrate that cellular administration of double-stranded nucleic acids, the molecular mimics of viral genomes, results in the induction of $HIF-1{\alpha}$ protein level as well as the increase in $HIF-1{\alpha}$ target gene expression. Whole-genome DNA microarray analysis revealed that double-stranded nucleic acid treatment triggers induction of a number of hypoxia-inducible genes, and induction of these genes are compromised upon siRNA-mediated $HIF-1{\alpha}$ knock-down. Interestingly, $HIF-1{\alpha}$ knock-down also resulted in down-regulation of a number of genes involved in antiviral innate immune responses. Our study demonstrates that $HIF-1{\alpha}$ activation upon nucleic acid-triggered antiviral innate immune responses plays an important role in regulation of genes involved in not only hypoxic response, but also immune response.

A series of 12 pyrimidine derivatives were prepared and tested in vitro against growth, sporulation and nucleic acids of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and Helminthosporium oryzae. Intorduction of thiazole ring together with two aryl groups to 2-aminopyrimidine induced drastic toxicity for both fungi. Pyrimidine derivatives with aryl groups were less toxic. Nitro groups were found to enhance the toxicity of the pyrimidine derivatives especially when substituted in ortho-position of the aryl groups. Inhibition of nudeic acids synthesis of both fungi was attributed mainly to the presence of thiazole ring.

WATER, the best known and most abundant of all chemical compounds occurring in relatively pure form on the earth"s surface . And life, the material of which organisms are made by water and protoplasm. Especially, between human life and water must be joined by human"s protoplasm, proteins, nucleic acids cells energy exchange and anothers. Therefore. health of mankind is In according to drink enough clean water and to use good water environment.

불포화지방산의 생합성능이 뛰어나다고 알려진 Thraustochytrids 균주 중 26185를 대상으로 arachidonic acid (AA C20:4 n-6)를 포함하는 PUFA 생산에 관여하는 유전자의 하나로서 key enzyme인 desaturase를 보다 효율적이고 안정적인 방법으로 cloning한 후 결과물을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 실험균주인 26185 균주를 대상으로 효율적인 전체 nucleic acids 추출법을 개발하였으며 관련된 기법의 활용을 통해 일반적으로 활용이 가능한 효과적이 방법임을 확인하였다. 확보된 유전체를 통한 direct PCR의 결과물을 기존에 알려진 cDNA 합성방법에 의한 결과물과 비교하였을 때 동일한 결과물임을 확인하였다. 이는 Thraustochytrids 관련 균주로부터 지방산 생합성에 관련된 효소군을 탐색하는 방법이 cDNA 합성방법에 의하지 않고 보다 직접적으로 진행될 수 있음을 제안할 수 있는 하나의 결과물로 생각되어진다. 획득된 유전자를 같은 진핵세포인 P. pastoris를 숙주로 하여 유전자를 도입하고 활성을 재현성 있게 규명함으로써 인공진화 혹은 재조합균체의 개발이 가능하다는 사실을 부분적으로 제시할 수 있었다.
