The structural, electronic, and optical properties of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) have been comprehensively studied by density functional theory (DFT) to rationalize the experimentally observed properties. Rather, we employed periodic boundary conditions (PBC) method to simulate the polymer block, and calculated effective charge mass from the band structure calculation for describing charge transport properties. The simulated results of P3HT are consistent with the experimental results in band gaps, absorption spectra, and effective charge mass. Based on the same calculated methods as P3HT, a series of polymers have been designed on the basis of the two types of building blocks, furofurans and furofurans substituted with cyano (CN) groups, to investigate suitable polymers toward polymer solar cell (PSC) materials. The calculated results reveal that the polymers substituted with CN groups have good structural stability, low-lying FMO energy levels, wide absorption spectra, and smaller effective masses, which are due to their good rigidity and conjugation in comparison with P3HT. Besides, the insertion of CN groups improves the performance of PSC. Synthetically, the designed polymers PFF1 and PFF2 are the champion candidates toward PSC relative to P3HT.

This study was aimed to explain the essence of Hydroxylammonium hydrochloride(H.A.) effect on degummed silk fiber increasing the colour sites due to oxime generating reaction. H.A. in aqueous solution caues to increase the amount of [H+] and reduce pH values as the concentration of H.A. increases. The rate of [H+] absorption of silk fiker in acidic solution differs on the basic of solution pH and shows a specific uptake in each pH, the lower the pH of solution, the higher the amount [H+] absorption. The pH of solution after treating of silk fiber in H.A. and HCl, showed more remaining [H+] in H.A. solution due to [H+] releasing under the procedure of oxime production. Also it was revealed that in higher concentration of H.A. the reaction for oxime fixation in silk fiber carried out stonger and as a result the bigger gap with acid uptake curve appeared. FT-IR analysis of silk fiber treated with H.A. revealed the creating of intermolecular H-bond at the 2,981-2.930 cm-1, which was not appeared for nontraeted silk fibers and shows H-bond between N-OH group in oue chain and C=) group in another chain of silk protein. Colourimetry of dyed silk fiber after H.A. tratment showed that the silk fiber treated with the high concentration of H.A. compare to low concentration, absorbed more dyeing molecules and so Showed less percontage of Whiteness.

본 연구는 기능성 식이섬유음료의 섬유급원인 난소화성 덱스트린의 장기능 및 혈청내 지질에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 SDrague-Dawley(평균 체중 819)의 흰쥐를 3군으로 나누어 control군으로 무섬유소 식이군(IC), 섬유소간의 비교를 위해 5% pectin군(IP), 5% 난소화성 덱스트린군(ID)으로 6주간 사육하였다. 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 식이 섭취량, 체중 증가량, 식이 효율은 식이간에 유의적 차이는 없었으나, 식이 섭취량이 높을수록 체중 증가량이 증가하였다. ID군이 식이 섭취량, 체중 증가량, 식이 효율이 약간 높은 경향을 보였다. 각군간의 간, 비장, 콩팥의 무게는 유의적 차이가 없었다. 부고환 지방의 무게도 유의적 차이는 없었으나, IP군이 가장 적었고 ID군도 IC군 보다 적은 경향을 보였다. 맹장의 무게는 섬유소를 섭취하지 않은 IC군 보다 ID군에서 유의적으로(p<.05) 무거웠으며, IP군도 IC군 보다는 무거운 경향을 나타내었다. 대장 무게와 길이도 ID군과 IP군이 IC군 보다 더 무겁고 긴 경향을 보였다. 배설된 변량은 ID군과 IP군이 IC군 보다 많은 경향을 보였으며 , 장 통과시간은 IP군이 다른 군 보다 빠르게 나타났다. ID군에서는 차이가 없었다. 혈청 중 총 지질, 콜레스테롤, 중성지방은 모두 IC군에서 높아 pectin이나 난소화성 덱스트린이 고지혈증을 개선시키는데 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다. 변내 지방 함량은 IP군이 가장 많았고(p<.05), ID군도 유의적이지는 않으나 IC군 보다는 많아서 지방의 흡수율이 IC군 보다 낮은 경향을 보였다. Ca의 흡수율은 IP군이 가장 낮았고(p<.05), ID군과 IC군과는 별차이가 없었다. 따라서 이러한 결과는 식이음료 중의 난소화성 덱스트린이 장 통과시간에는 영향을 주지 않으나 전반적인 장기능을 증진시키고, Ca의 홉수를 방해하지 않고 지방의 흡수를 감소시켜 체내 지방대사에 다소 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다.

This study has been undertaken to evaluate hydrophobic cyclodextrin(CD) derivatives as a sustained release carrier of azidothymidine(AZT), AZT, which has potent activity against AIDS and AIDS-related complex as thymidine analogue, has been reported that it has significant toxicity and short half life. Therefore, it is necessary to design sustained release oral dosage form to avoid undesirable side effects attributable to an excessive plasma concentration and to reduce the frequency of administration of AZT. Inclusion complexes of AZT with $acetyl-{\beta}-cyclodextrin\;(AC{\beta}CD)$ and $triacetyl-{\beta}-cyclodextrin(TA{\beta}CD)$ were prepared by solvent evaporation method. Interactions of AZT with CD were investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC) and Infrared Spectrophotometry(IR). The decreasing order of water solubilities of AZT and AZT-CD inclusion complexes were as follows; $AZT\;(27.873{\pm}0.015,mg/ml)\;>\;AZT-AC{\beta}CD\;(3.377{\pm}0.003)\;>\;AZT-TA{\beta}CD\;(2.528{\pm}0.001)$. Partition coefficients of $AZT-AC{\beta}CD\;and;\AZT-TA{\beta}CD$ inclusion complexes were increased by 1.27-fold, 1.54-fold in pH 1.2 and 1.32-fold, 1.47-fold in pH 6.8 in comparison with that of AZT. The mean dissolution time (MDT, min) which represents the rapidity of dissolution rate of AZT, $AZT-AC{\beta}CD,\;AZT-TA{\beta}CD$ were 5.12, 14.02 and 19.38 min in pH 1.2 and 2.52, 15.19 and 18.19 min in pH 6.8. AZT was very rapidly and completely dissolved in pH 1.2 and pH 6.8 within 5 minutes. But AZT-CD inclusion complexes showed the sustained release pattern in comparison with AZT alone. The simultaneous in situ nasal and jejunal recirculation study to compare the intrinsic absorptivity and the property of absorption sites revealed that the absorption of $AZT-TA{\beta}CD\;(N:35.35{\pm}1.08%,\;J:27.47{\pm}1.18%)$ was more than that of $AZT\;(N:16.89{\pm}2.25%,\;J:15.86{\pm}2.33%)$. The above results suggest that $TA{\beta}CD$ which is a hydrophobic cyclodextrin may serve as sustained release carrier with absorption enhancing effect.

The present study was designed to assess the influence of caeca on the availability of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese and copper from soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, sesame, fish and meat cum bone meal in adult roosters. The excretion of endogenous origin minerals viz., copper, magnesium, manganese and calcium was significantly (p<0.001) higher in caecectomized than in normal roosters. The difference in the endogenous excretion was 50; 60.45; 40.35 and 29.63 per cent for copper, magnesium, manganese and calcium, respectively, in caecectomized roosters. The caeca played a pivotal role in the reabsorption of endogenous origin calcium, magnesium, manganese and copper. The mechanism of phosphorus absorption by the caecal epithelium was negligible. The caecectomized roosters underestimated the bioavailability of copper in sunflower meal and manganese in almost all the test feedstuffs. The present investigation revealed that the caeca played a critical role in the absorption of minerals from vegetable protein feedstuffs which escape digestion and absorption in the small and large intestinal segments.

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.

The objective of this study was to investigate Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry and the X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization of melanoidins formed from glucose and fructose with amino acid enantiomers in the Maillard reaction. Before dialysis, FT-IR spectroscopy of all the samples showed that the characteristic absorption intensities appeared as a broad and intense band of the stretching vibration of the -OH group at 3,400/cm for a high pH. The absorption bands of the melanoidins sharply decreased in intensity after dialysis as compared to those before dialysis. In particular, the absorption bands at 992 and 575/cm disappeared. The XRD confirmed that the crystal structure of the melanoidins disappeared after dialysis and a new crystal structure was formed at 9 and $28^{\circ}$ ($2{\theta}$. In particular, broad diffraction peaks were formed in the $10-21^{\circ}$ ($2{\theta}$) range for a high pH, while other sharp diffraction peaks disappeared.

양이온 표면활성제인 Zephiramine의 존재하에서 여러가지 술포프탈레인 지시약의 흡수스펙트럼과 해리상수를 측정하여 수용액에서의 값과 비교했다. 염기성적색형은 흡수 극대가 6${\sim}$21 nm 장파장쪽으로 이동하며 흡수도는 약간 증가하는 반면, 황색형은 흡수극대가 오히려 4${\sim}$20 nm 단파장으로 이동하고 흡수도도 약간 감소했다. pKa값은 -1.38${\sim}$0.37정도 변화했다. 이와같은 정색반응을, 색소분자가 미셀 표면에 흡착됨으로서 더 안정한 공면구조를 형성하기 때문이라는 가정으로 설명했다.
