  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is well established as an indispensable tool of molecular biology; and yet a limitation for cloning applications continues to be that products often require subsequent restriction to be that products often require subsequent restriction digests, blunt-end ligation, or the use of special linear vectors. Here a rapid, PCR-based system is described for the simple, restriction enzyme-free generation of synthetic, 'restriction-like' DNA fragments with staggered ends. Any 3'- or 5'-protruding terminus, but also non-palindromic overhangs with an unrestricted single strand length are specifically created. With longer overhangs, "Restriction-PCR" does not even require a ligation step prior to transformation. Thereby the technique presents a powerful tool e.g. for a successive, authentic reconstitution of sub-fragments of long genes with no need to manipulate the sequence or to introduce restriction sites. Since restriction enzyme-free and thereby devoid the limitations of partial DNA digests, "Restriction-PCR" allows a straight one-step generation and cloning of difficult DNA fragments that internally carry additional sites for specific sequence insertions or deletions can be precisely engineered into genes of interest. With these properties "Restriction-PCR" has the potential to add significant speed and versatility to a wide variety of DNA cloning applications.

  • 전자거래에 있어서 데이터의 무결성과 부인방지 같은 보안 서비스는 안전한 전자거래를 가능하게 하는 필수요소이다. 본 논문에서는 기존 부동산 거래 절차를 기반으로 안전한 부동산 전자상거래를 가능하게 하는 부동산 계약 전자서명 생성 및 검증 시스템을 구현하였다. 본 논문에 사용된 보안 서비스를 위한 기술적 배경은 XML 전자서명 기술로 XML 전자서명은 기존에 존재하는 전자서명 알고리즘에 XML을 적용한 전자저명 기법으로 기존 서명과는 다르게 부분 데이터에 대한 서명이 가능하기 때문에 매우 효율적이며 현재 널리 이용되고 있는 XML 기반 전자 상거래 시스템에 적용이 쉽다는 장점이 있다.

  • 미생물중 urease생성능이 아주 강한 B. pasteurii의 Hind III partial digest 된 chromosomal DNA를 E. coli-B. subtilis bifunctional plasmid vector pGR 71으로 E. coli RR1 균주에 cloning 하므로써 그 urease gene을 expression시킬 수 있었다. 그러나 B. subtilis에서는 insertion DNA fragment의 deletion으로 expression되지 않았다. Cloning된 E.coli RR1 균주로부터 분리 정제한 urease gene함유 Plasmid(pGU66)의 restriction map을 작성하여 본 결과 7.1 Mdal의 insertion fragment가 삽입된 12.6Mdal의 plasmid에 Hind III, Bgl II, Xba I, Sal I등 몇 개의 cleavage site 위치를 찾을 수 있었다. Cloning된 E. coli의 urease는 periplasmic space에 많은 비율로 축적되며, 그 효소학적 성질은 donor인 B.pasteurii의 그것과 매우 유사하였다.

  • A novel $\alpha$-amylase ($\alpha$-1,4-$\alpha$-D-glucan glucanohydrolase, E.C. 3.2.1.1), ScAmy43, was found in the culture medium of the phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum grown on oats flour. Purified to homogeneity, ScAmy43 appeared as a 43 kDa monomeric enzyme, as estimated by SDS-PAGE and Superdex 75 gel filtration. The MALDI peptide mass fingerprint of ScAmy43 tryptic digest as well as internal sequence analyses indicate that the enzyme has an original primary structure when compared with other fungal a-amylases. However, the sequence of the 12 N-terminal residues is homologous with those of Aspergillus awamori and Aspergillus kawachii amylases, suggesting that the new enzyme belongs to the same GH13 glycosyl hydrolase family. Assayed with soluble starch as substrate, this enzyme displayed optimal activity at pH 4 and $55^{\circ}C$ with an apparent $K_m$ value of 1.66 mg/ml and $V_{max}$ of 0.1${\mu}mol$glucose $min^{-1}$ $ml^{-1}$. ScAmy43 activity was strongly inhibited by $Cu^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, and $Ba^{2+}$, moderately by $Fe^{2+}$, and was only weakly affected by $Ca^{2+}$ addition. However, since EDTA and EGTA did not inhibit ScAmy43 activity, this enzyme is probably not a metalloprotein. DTT and $\beta$-mercaptoethanol strongly increased the enzyme activity. Starting with soluble starch as substrate, the end products were mainly maltotriose, suggesting for this enzyme an endo action.

  • NIRS uses reflectance signals resulting from bending and stretching vibrations in chemical bonds between carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen. These reflectance signals are used to measure the concentration of major chemical composition and other descriptors of homogenized and freeze-dried whole broiler carcasses. Six strains of chicken were analyzed and the NIRS model predictions compared to reference data. The results of this comparison indicate that NIRS is a rapid tool for predicting dry matter (DM), fat, crude protein (CP) and ash content in the broiler carcass. Males and females of six commercial strain crosses of broiler chicken (Gallus domesticus) were used in this study (6$\times$2 factorial design). Each strain was grown to 16 weeks of age, and duplicate serial samples were taken for body composition analysis. Each whole carcass was pressure-cooked, homogenized, and a representative sample was freeze-dried. Body composition determined as follows: DM by oven dried method at 105$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours, fat by Mojonnier diethyl ether extraction, CP by measuring nitrogen content using an auto-analyzer with Kjeldhal digest and ash by combustion in a muffle furnace for 24 hour at 55$0^{\circ}C$. These homogenized and freeze-dried carcass samples were then scanned with a Foss NIR Systems 6500 visible-NIR spectrophotometer (400-2500nm) (Foss NIR Systems, Silver Spring, MD., US) using Infra-Soft-International, ISI, WinISl software (ISI, Port Matilda, US). The NIRS spectra were analyzed using principal component (PC) analysis. This data was corrected for scatter using standard normal “Variate” and “Detrend” technique. The accuracy of the NIRS calibration equations developed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) for predicting major chemical composition and carcass descriptors- such as body mass (BM), bird dry matter and moisture content was tested using cross validation. Discrimination analysis was also used for sex and strain identification. According to Dr John Shenk, the creator of the ISI software, the calibration equations with the correlation coefficient, $R^2$, between reference data and NIRS predicted results of above 0.90 is excellent and between 0.70 to 0.89 is a good quantifying guideline. The excellent calibration equations for DM ($R^2$= 0.99), fat (0.98) and CP (0.92) and a good quantifying guideline equation for ash (0.80) were developed in this study. The results of cross validation statistics for carcass descriptors, body composition using reference methods, inter-correlation between carcass descriptors and NIRS calibration, and the results of discrimination analysis for sex and strain identification will also be presented in the poster. The NIRS predicted daily gain and calculated daily gain from this experiment, and true daily gain (using data from another experiment with closely related broiler chicken from each of the six strains) will also be discussed in the paper.
