The estimation of retention factors by correlation equations with physico-chmical properties maybe helpful in chromatographic work. The physico-chemical properties were water solubility (S), hydrophobicity (P), total energy ($E_t$), connectivity index 1 ($^1{\chi}$), hydrophilic-lipophlic balance (x) and hydrophilic surface area (h) of isoflavones. The retention factors were experimentally measured by RP-HPLC. Especially, the empirical regulations of water solubility and hydrophobicity were expressed in a linear form. The equation between retention factors and various physico-chemical properties of isoflavones was suggested as $k = a_0 + a_1\;log S + a_2log\;P^Q + a_3(E_t) + a_4(^1{\chi}) + a_5(x) + a_6(h)$, and the correlation coefficients estimated were relatively higher than 0.95. The empirical equations might be successfully used for a prediction of the various chromatographic characteristics of substances, with a similar chemical structure.

In this work, a static volumetric method was experimentally implemented to measure the adsorption isotherm of hydrogen and methane by the activated carbon. The equilibrium data of stationary phase and mobile phase were correlated into the Langmuir, Freundlich, Langmuir-Freundlich, and Toth isotherms, respectively. In addition, the comparison between prediction and experimental data was made. By a nonlinear regression analysis, the experimental parameters in the equilibrium isotherms were estimated and compared. Then, the linear and quadratic equations for pressure and temperature to adsorption amounts were expressed. The adsorption amounts were increased with the pressure increase and the temperature decrease.

Porous polymer monolithic columns were prepared by the direct free radical copolymerization of methacrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate within the confines of a chromatographic column in the presence of toluene-dodecanol as a porogenic solvent. The separation characteristics of the monolithic columns were tested by a homologous series of xanthine derivatives, theophylline and caffeine. The effects of the polymerization mixture composition and polymerization condition, mobile phase composition, flow rate and temperature on the retention times and separation efficiencies were investigated. The results showed that the selection of correct porogenic solvents and appropriate polymerization conditions are crucial for the preparation of the monolithic stationary phases. The separation efficiency was only extremely weakly dependent on flow rate and temperatures. Hydrogen-bonding interaction played an important role in the retention and separation. Compared with conventional particle columns, the monolithic column exhibited good stability, ease of regeneration, high separation efficiency and fast analysis.

Modeling and simulation for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process in bioconversion of paper mill sludge to lactic acid was carried out. The SSF process combined the enzymatic hydrolysis of paper mill sludge into glucose and the fermentation of glucose into lactic acid in one reactor. A mathematical modeling for cellulose hydrolysis was developed, based on the proposed mechanism of cellulase adsorption deactivation. Another model for simple lactic acid fermentation was also made. A whole mathematical model for SSF was developed by combining the above two models for cellulose hydrolysis and lactic acid fermentation. The characteristics of the SSF process were investigated using the mathematical model.

토종콩에 포함된 daidzein과 genistein을 초임계 $CO_2$와 아임계/초임계 $H_2O$를 이용하여 추출하였다. 추출액은 역상 고성능 액체 코토마토그래피(RP-HPLC)를 사용하여 분석하였다. 초임계 유체의 온도와 압력, 에탄올 농도의 변화에 따라서 비배당체의 체류시간, 체류인자, 컬럼효율, 컬럼의 선택도, 분리도를 비교하였다. 초임계 $CO_2$를 사용하였을 때, daidzein과 genistein의 추출특성은 온도와 에탄올농도의 영향을 주로 받았다. 아임계/초임계 $H_2O$를 사용하였을 때는 초임계 상태의 $400^{\circ}C$, 250 bar에서의 추출효율이 가장 우수하였다. 일반적으로 초임계 $CO_2$를 사용하는 경우, 초임계 $H_2O$에 비해서 약 10배 이상 비배당체의 추출수율이 증가하였다.

In previous studies, we isolated an isogenic LPS mutant of Bradyrhizobium japonicum 61A101C, which was completely devoid of O-polysaccharide and had altered cell surface characteristics. Subsequently, the mutated gene was identified, cloned, and used to complement the LPS mutant strain JS314 to restore the phenotype. Since it has been reported that in Escherichia coli LPS O-polysaccharide is involved in resistance to an organic acid such as acetic acid under low pH (Barna et al., Molecular Microbiology 43: 629-640, 2002), we compared the organic acid resistance of the three B. japonicum strains; wild-type 61A101C, the LPS mutant JS314, and the complemented strain to determine whether the role of O-polysaccharide in the resistance to organic acid could be generalized. Growth of all three strains was inhibited by the presence of 3 mM acetic acid under acidic condition (pH 5.5). To our surprise, however, in the presence of 2 mM acetic acid, wild-type and the complemented strains did not grow while the $LPS^-$ mutant showed a significant growth. Therefore, unlike in E. coli, the lack of O­polysaccharide of LPS appears to render B. japonicum more resistant to organic acid.

Organic solvents are widely used in biotransformation systems. There are many efforts to reduce the consumption of organic solvents because of their toxicity to the environment and human health. In recent years, several groups have started to explore novel organic solvents called room temperature ionic liquids in order to substitute conventional organic solvents. In this work, lipase-catalyzed transesterification in several uni- and bi-phasic systems was studied. Two representative hydrophobic ionic liquids based on 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolum coupled with hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][$PF_6$]) and bis[{trifluoromethylsulfonyl} imide] ([BMIM] [$Tf_{2}N$]) were employed as reaction media for the transesterification of n-butanol. The commercial lipase, Novozym 435, was used for the transesterification reaction with vinyl acetate as an acyl donor. The conversion yield was increased around $10\%$ in a water/[BMIM][$Tf_{2}N$] bi-phasic system compared with that in a water/hexane system. A higher distribution of substrates into the water phase is believed to enhance the conversion yield in a water/[BMIM][$Tf_{2}N$] system. Partition coefficients of the substrates in the water/[BMIM][$Tf_{2}N$] bi-phasic system were higher than three times that found in the water/hexane system, while n-butyl acetate showed a similar distribution in both systems. Thus, RTILs appear to be a promising substitute of organic solvents in some biotransformation systems.

본 연구에서는 HCI프로그램을 이용하여 여섯 가지 퓨린 유도체(caffeine, guanine, hypoxanthine, purine, theobromine, and theophylline)의 최적 분석 조건을 결정하였다. 이동상으로 물과 메탄올을 사용하는 역상 HPLC를 사용하였다. 체류모델로는 Snyder, Langmuir, Binary polynomial 중에서 체류인자를 가장 잘 예측한 Binary polynomial을 사용하였고 용출곡선을 계산하기 위해서는 단 이론(plate theory)을 사용하였으며 모든 계산은 HCI 프로그램을 이용하여 계산하였다. 이동상의 조건은 일정용매조성법(isocratic mode)과 계단함수 구배용매조성법(step-gradient mode)을 이용하였다. 일정용매조성법에서 물과 메탄올의 조성비가 93/7 (v/v)일 때 최적 분석조건을 얻을 수 있었다. 분석시간의 단축을 위하여 계단함수 구배용매조성법을 사용하여 이동상의 조성을 물/메탄올 93/7 (v/v)에서 5 min 후에 75/25 (v/v)로 변경하는 최적조건을 계산했다. 위의 두 조건에서 실험을 수행하여 계산 용출 곡선과 실험값을 비교하였으며, 매우 잘 일치함을 보였다.

이상 랩온어칩에서 사용된 생물분리 방법과 그 예를 소개하였다. 랩온어칩에서는 수백 마이크로미터 이하의 미세 채널을 사용하므로 유사한 크기의 채널을 사용하는 capillary electrophoresis에서 사용되었던 기법들이 가장 많이 활용되어왔으며, 랩온어칩 내에서 물질분리를 위한 기본 방법으로 적용되어왔다. 현재까지 CE에 사용되었던 기법들은 모두 랩온어칩 상에 구현된 바 있으며, 이러한 기술들은 랩온어칩의 활용 가능성 및 활용 분야 증대에 크게 기여하였다. 이외에도, laminar flow의 특성을 이용하거나, 막을 제작하거나, 추출 기법을 활용하는 등의 다양한 시도가 있었다. 그러나, high-throughput, 이동형 장비를 지향하는 랩온어칩에서 고전압을 사용하는 경우 활용에 제약을 가져올 수 있어, 용도에 맞는 적절한 분리기술의 개발 및 선택이 랩온어칩의 활용 가능성을 결정짓는 중요한 요인이 될 것으로 판단된다.
