The impedance spectroscopy is one of the effective ways to understand the electrical properties of organic light emitting diodes. The frequency-dependant properties of small molecule based OLEDs have been studied. The equivalent circuit of single-layer device is composed of contact resistance ($R_c$), bulk resistance ($R_p$) and bulk capacitance ($C_p$). The equivalent circuit of double layer device is composed of two parallel circuits connected in series, each of which is a parallel resistor and a capacitor. We have fabricated a double layer device indium-rio-oxide (ITO, anode), N,NV -diphenyl- N,NV -bis(3-methylphenyI)-1,1V -diphenyl-4,4V-diamine (TPD, hole-transporting layer), tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3, emitting layer), and aluminum (AI, cathode) and two single layer devices ([TO/ Alq3/ AI, ITO/TPD/AI).

The binding of MS2 bacteriophage coat protein (MCP) to MS2 binding site (MBS) RNA stem-loop sequences has been widely used to label mRNA for live-cell imaging at single-molecule resolution. However, concerns have been raised recently from studies with budding yeast showing aberrant mRNA metabolism following the MS2-GFP labeling. To investigate the degradation pattern of MS2-GFP-labeled mRNA in mammalian cells and tissues, we used Northern blot analysis of ${\beta}$-actin mRNA extracted from the Actb-MBS knock-in and $MBS{\times}MCP$ hybrid mouse models. In the immortalized mouse embryonic cell lines and various organ tissues derived from the mouse models, we found no noticeable accumulation of decay products of ${\beta}$-actin mRNA compared with the wild-type mice. Our results suggest that accumulation of MBS RNA decay fragments does not always happen depending on the mRNA species and the model organisms used.

라만 분광법은 레이저가 분자의 공명에 의해 산란되는 특성을 이용하여 세포 내 지질, 핵산, 단백질 등의 구성물질을 신속하게 측정할 수 있어 단세포 수준의 세균 검측에 적합한 기술로 알려져 있다. 세포 구성물질에 대한 높은 특이성과 민감성 때문에 라만 스펙트라(spectra)만으로 일부 종 수준의 세균 계통분석이 가능하다. 또한 탄소-13, 수소-2 등의 동위원소를 동시에 사용하였을 경우 단세포의 생리적 활성 변화에 대한 정량평가에 활용 할 수 있다. 라만 분광법을 이용한 세균 검측 이후에도 광학핀셋과 미세유체칩과 연계하여 관심 있는 난배 양성 세균을 선택적으로 분리하거나 단세포 유전체 연구에 이용할 수 있을 정도로 응용 범위가 넓다. 본 총설에서는 라만 분광법을 활용한 미생물 분석 연구의 정확한 이해를 돕고자 기존의 연구를 중심으로 라만 분광법의 특성과 응용분야에 대해서 검토, 정리하였다.

원핵생물 (procaryote)의 분류에 16S rRNA 유전자가 많이 이용되어 있으나 제한된 해상력과 유전자의 수에 차이가 있는 등의 문제가 있어 이를 보완할 수 있는 새로운 생체분자를 찾고 그 분류 결과는 16S rRNA의 결과와 비교하였다. COG(clusters of orthologous of protein) 알고리즘으로 42종의 원핵생물 (procaryote)에서만 발견되는 transcription elongation factor (COG0195), bacterial DNA primase (COG0358) 그리고 uridylate kinase (COG0528)를 구하였다. 이중 유사도와 유전자수를 바탕으로 새로운 분류의 키로 uridylate kinase를 설정하여 분석한 결과 16S rRNA 유전자 결과와 유사점과 차이점을 보여, uridylate kinase를 이용한 분류가 16S rRNA 유전자를 이용한 분류의 문제점을 보완하여 원핵생물의 정확한 분류에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a sophisticated and an accurate analytical technique used to study the diffusion of molecules in a solution at the single-molecule level. FCS is strongly affected by many factors such as the stability of the excitation power, photochemical processes, mismatch between the refractive indices, and variations in the cover glass thickness. We have studied FCS near the surface of a cover glass by using rhodamine 123 as a fluorescent probe and have observed that the surface has a strong influence on the measurements. The temporal autocorrelation of FCS decays with two characteristic times when the confocal detection volume is positioned near the surface of the cover glass. As the position of the detection volume is moved away from the surface, the FCS autocorrelation becomes one-component decaying; the characteristic time of the decay is the same as the faster-decaying component in the FCS autocorrelation near the surface. This observation suggests that the faster component can be attributed to the free diffusion of the probe molecules in the solution, while the slow component has its origin from the interaction between the probe molecules and the surface. We have characterized the surface contribution to the FCS measurements near the surface by changing the position of the detection volume relative to the surface. The influence of the surface on the diffusion of the probe molecules was monitored by changing the chemical properties of the surface. The surface contribution to the temporal autocorrelation of the FCS strongly depends on the chemical nature of the surface. The hydrophobicity of the surface is a major factor determining the surface influence on the free diffusion of the probe molecules near the surface.

TNF-${\alpha}$ and VCAM-1 play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, and the development of drugs targeting these molecules has extended the therapeutical approaches to rheumatoid arthritis patients. Bispecific antibodies combine the antigen-binding sites of two antibodies within a single molecule and thus they are able to bind to two different epitopes simultaneously. A specific bispecific antibody format termed "Di-diabody" was made for the efficient approach to anti-inflammation. In this study, the DNA vector construct of Di-diabody was built up against two antigens, VCAM-1 and TNF-${\alpha}$. For evaluating this Di-diabody as a bispecific antibody on the efficacy of anti-inflammation, the proteins were analyzed according to each antigen binding affinity and cell based assay related separate molecules. The 7H/Humira Di-diabody produced in this study interacted with its ligands, VCAM-1 and TNF-${\alpha}$, respectively. Also, this antibody exhibited the similar functional activities as compared to 7H-IgG in respect to inhibition of hVCAM-1-induced cell adhesion and Humira-IgG in respect to inhibition of TNF-${\alpha}$ induced cytotoxicity. Further study to elucidate the pharmacological significance of the Di-diabody is warranted using experimental animals.

Sulfur hexafluoride ($SF_6$), one of the most potent greenhouse gases, is known as a hydrate former and has been studied at the high pressure up to 1.3 GPa with gas mixtures and with aqueous surfactant. Since we regard $SF_6$ as a potential promoter molecule that can stabilize hydrate structure more effectively compare to the other promoters, further investigation is required to verify the stabilizing ability of $SF_6$ in the hydrate structure. However, the insoluble nature of $SF_6$ in water or gases hinders fine scale analyses. This work discusses the data obtained by using molecular dynamics simulations of structure II (sII) clathrate hydrates containing $SF_6$ and $H_2$. The simulations were performed using the TIP4P/Ice model for water molecule and a previously reported $SF_6$ molecular model (optimized at the pure $SF_6$ single phase system (Olivet and Vega, 2007)), and a $H_2$ molecular model (adapted from the THF+$H_2$ hydrate system (Alavi et al., 2006)). The simulations are performed to observe the stability of $SF_6$ and $H_2$ in the sII clathrate hydrate system with varying temperature and pressure conditions and occupancies of $SF_6$ and $H_2$, which cannot be easily tuned experimentally. We observe that stability of H2 enclathrated in the hydrate structure more affected by the occupancy of $SF_6$ molecules and temperature than pressure, which ranges from 1 to 100 bar.

We will report a few methods to improve the efficiency and stability in small molecule based organic solar cells, including the formation of bulk heterojunctions (BHJs) through alternative thermal deposition (ATD), the use of a micro-cavity structure and interface modifications. By ATD which is a simple modification of conventional thermal evaporation, the thicknesses of alternative donor and acceptor layers were precisely controlled down to 0.1 nm, which is critical to form BHJs. The formation of a BHJ in copper(II) phthalocyanine (CuPc) and fullerene (C60) systems was confirmed by AFM, GISAXS and absorption measurements. From analysis of the data, we found that the CuPc|C60 films fabricated by ATD were composed of the nanometer sized disk shaped CuPc nano grains and aggregated C60, which explains the phase separation of CuPc and C60. On the other hand, the co-deposited CuPc:C60 films did not show the existence of separated CuPc nano grains in the CuPc:C60 matrix. The OPV cells fabricated using the ATD method showed significantly enhanced power conversion efficiency compared to the co-deposited OPV cells under a same composition [1]. We will also present by numerical simulation that adoption of microcavity structure in the planar heterojunction can improve the short circuit current in single and tandem OSCs [2]. Interface modifications also allowed us to achieve high efficiency and high stability OSCs.

We achieved high efficiency and long lifetime in small-molecule organic light-emitting diodes using a blend of polyaniline-based conducting polymer and a perfluorinated ionomer as a hole injection layer (HIL). The HIL formed by single spin coating greatly enhanced the surface work function and thus the hole injection from the anode, which resulted in great improvement in device luminous efficiency. We find that the solution processed HIL outperforms the conventional vacuum-deposited small molecule HIL in terms of the device performance.
