The transglycosylation activity of amylosucrase (ASase) has received significant attention owing to its use of an inexpensive donor, sucrose, and broad acceptor specificity, including glycone and aglycone compounds. The transglycosylation reaction of recombinant ASase from Deinococcus radiopugnans (DRpAS) was investigated using various phenolic compounds, and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside (rutin) was found to be the most suitable acceptor molecule used by DRpAS. Two amino acid residues in DRpAS variants (DRpAS Q299K and DRpAS Q299R), assumed to be involved in acceptor binding, were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis. Intriguingly, DRpAS Q299K and DRpAS Q299R produced 10-fold and 4-fold higher levels of rutin transglycosylation product than did the wild-type (WT) DRpAS, respectively. According to in silico molecular docking analysis, the lysine residue at position 299 in the mutants enables rutin to more easily position inside the active pocket of the mutant enzyme than in that of the WT, due to conformational changes in loop 4.

We have demonstrated Forst-type resonance energy transfer (FRET) in the quasi-solid type dye-sensitized solar cells between organic fluorescence materials as an energy donor doped in polymeric gel electrolyte and ruthenium complex as an energy acceptor on surface of $TiO_2$. The strong spectral overlap of emission/absorption of energy donor and acceptor is required to get high FRET efficiency. The judicious choice of energy donor allows the enhancement of light harvesting characters of energy acceptor in quasi-solid dye sensitized solar cells which increase the power conversion efficiency. The enhanced light harvesting effect by the judicious choice/design of the fluorescence materials and sensitizing dyes permits the enhancement of photovoltaic performance of DSSC.

High quality CdTe single crystal for the solar cell fabrication was grown by vertical Bridgman method. The etch pits patterns of {111}surfaces of CdTe etched by Nakagawa solution was observed the {111} A composed of Cd atoms with typical triangle etch pits of pyramid mode. From the photoluminescence measurement on {111}A, we observed free exciton($E_x$) existing only higy quality crystal and neytral acceptor bound exciton($A^0$,X) having very strong peak intensity. Then, the full width at half maximum and binding energy of neutral acceptor bound exciton were 7 meV and 5.9 meV, respectively. By Haynes rule, an actibation energy of impurity was 59 meV. Therefore, the origins on impurity level acting as a neutral acceptor were associated Ag or Cu elements.

Detonation transmission between propane/oxygen (donor) and propane/air (acceptor) with an abrupt area change is experimentally studied. In the donor, there are two types of incident detonation waves: A self-sustained Chapman-Jouguet (CJ) detonation wave and an overdriven detonation wave that is a result of the difference in the initial donor pressure ratios. The piston work is used to characterize the strength of the incident detonation wave. For an incident CJ detonation wave, the re-initiation of a detonation wave in the acceptor depends on the initial pressure in the donor and the expansion ratio. The axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric soot patterns respectively correspond to direct detonation and detonation re-initiation. For an incident overdriven detonation wave, the re-initiation of a detonation wave in the acceptor strongly depends on the degree of overdrive.

We report solution-processed organic trilayer solar cells consisting of poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), a conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), wherein the effect CPE layer thickness on device properties was investigated. The current-voltage characteristics under illumination and dark as well as photoluminescence were characterized using various concentrations (0.02, 0.1, and 0.3wt%) of to deposit the CPE interlayer between the donor and acceptor layers. We also investigated the influence of molecular dipole moments in the trilayer solar cells by external stimuli. These results provide an experimental approach for investigating the influence of interfacial dipoles on solar cell parameters when placed between the donor and acceptor and allow us to obtaining fundamental information about the donor/acceptor interface in organic solar cells.

Some chromophores that can undergo a pronouncend colour change when acted upon an extenal agency, such as light, heat, pH, or chemical agents, have many potential applicationa as functional dyes. They may be used as indicators, optical sensors, biochemical probes, optical and thermal recording materials. The results will investigate donor-acceptor chromophores which have the potential for such colour change processes. In particular, cross-conjugated donor-acceptor chormophores, analogous to indigo and squarylium-type chromophores, will be examined for pH sensitizing and for their oxidation-reduction colour change behaviour.

A new diarylethene compound with donor and acceptor substituent was synthesized from 2,3-bis(2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene-3-yl)hexafluorocyclopentene (BTF) over 5 steps. The donor-acceptor structured BTF compound (TBTFE) showed spectral change to a longer wavelength through photochromism with a high cyclization quantum yield (0.56). The 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (T) and carboethoxy (E) groups directly connected to BTF unit promoted electrical change accompanied with the photoisomerization of the BTF unit. Photo-induced electrical switching was achieved from a photocell containing TBTFE doped polymer film, which showed reversible and stable current change over repeated cycles by the alternative UV/Vis irradiation, as estimated by the I-V plot.

A trisaccharide, the O-antigenic repeating unit of C. jejuni serotype O:23 and O:36, was synthesized as a 2 -azidoethyl glycoside by block addition of perbenzylated thiogalactoside donors to $\alpha$-altroHepp-(1$\rightarrow$3)-GlcNPhth disaccharide acceptor in presence of IDCP promoter. The $\alpha$-linked altroheptopyranoside moiety in the glycosyl acceptor was effectively prepared by Swern oxidation of $\alpha$-mannohepp-(1$\rightarrow$3)-GlcNPhth disaccharide followed by mild reduction with1 $NaCNBH_3$.

As electron donor/acceptor materials for organic photovoltaic cells, small-molecules donors/acceptor are attracting more and more attention. In this work, we investigated the electronic structures, electrochemical properties, and charge carrier transport properties of four recently-synthesized small-molecule donors/acceptor, namely, DPDCPB (A), DPDCTB (B), DTDCPB (A1), and DTDCTB (B1), by a series of ab initio calculations. The calculations look into the electronic structure of singly oxidized and reduced molecules, the first anodic and cathodic potentials, and the electrochemical gaps. Results of our calculations were in accord with those from experiments. Using Marcus theory, we also computed the reorganization energies of hole/electron hoppings, as well as hole/electron transfer integrals of multiple possible molecular dimer configurations. Our calculations indicated that the electron/hole transport properties are very sensitive to the relative separations/orientations between neighboring molecules. Due to high reorganization energies for electron hopping, the hole mobilities in the molecular crystals are at least an order of magnitude higher than the electron mobilities.

폴리시알린산 (polysialic acid)은 미생물로부터 인간에 이르기까지 다양한 세포의 세포 표면 복합당사슬에 공유 결합하는 당사슬의 일종이다. 최근 성게 난자의 젤리층과 성게 난자의 표면에서 폴리시알린산이 연결된 당단백질이 발견됨으로써 폴리시알린산의 생합성과 그 기능에 대한 의문이 제기되었다. 둥근성게의 난자와 배에서 추출한 효소액과 CMP-[$^{14}$ C]Neu5Ac를 기질로 사용하여 Neu5Ac를 endogenous acceptor에 전달하는 CMP-Neu5Ac:poly-$\alpha$2, 8 sialosyl sialyltransferase (polyST)를 발견하였다. polyST는 20mM MOPS (pH 7.0), 2$0^{\circ}C$에서 최적 활성을 나타냈다. 10 mM $Mg^2$$^{+}$를 효소 반응액에 첨가하면 polyST의 황성은 2.7배 증가하였다. poiyST는 또한 포유류의 gang1ioside인 GD3에 폴리시알린산을 합성할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 폴리시알린산이 존재하는 ganglioside가 현재까지 자연계에서 알려진 바가 없다는 사실은 하나의 polyST가 endogenous acceptor와 ganglioside에 폴리시알린산을 합성했다고 결론지을 수 있다. 과량의 GD3를 exogenous acceptor로 사용하여 둥근성게에 존재하는 polyST의 활성을 조사한 결과 mesenchyme 포배기 때부터 그 활성이 급격히 증가하고 낭배기 때에 최고에 도달했다. 성게의 배발생 때에 polyST의 활성이 조절된다는 것은 낭배기 때에 일어나는 세포나 조직 사이에 일어나는 변화와 초기 단계 spicule 형성에 어떤 중요한 기능을 담당하고 있을 가능성이 있다.
