The all-hydrocarbon i,i+4 stapling system using an oct-4-enyl crosslink is one of the most widely employed chemical tools to stabilize an ${\alpha}$-helical conformation of a short peptide. This crosslinking system has greatly extended our ability to modulate intracellular protein-macromolecule interactions. The helix-inducing property of the i,i+4 staple has shown to be highly dependent on the length and the stereochemistry of the oct-4-enyl crosslink. Here we show that changing the double bond position within the i,i+4 staple has a considerable impact not only on the formation of the crosslink but also on ${\alpha}$-helix induction. The data further increases the understanding of the structure-activity relationships of this valuable chemical tool.

The effect of pre-existing barrier-type film on porous aluminum oxide film formation during anodization was investigated to control the uniform film growth rate. Initial potential fluctuations during anodization indicated that the breakdown of barrier-film is preceded before the porous formation and the induction time for the porous film growth increases with the increases of pre-existing film thickness. The porous film growth mechanism is lot affected by the presence of barrier film on aluminum surface. In parallel, uniform growth of barrier film underneath the porous structure was attained by two-step anodization processes.

A thermostable $\alpha$-L-arabinofuranosidases ($\alpha$-L-AFase) is an industrially important enzyme for recovery of L-arabinose from hemicellulose. The recombinant $\alpha$-L-AFase from Thermotoga maritima was expressed in Escherichia coli by using a constitutive pHCE or an inducible pRSET vectors. In batch fermentation, the constitutive expression system resulted in slightly faster growth rate (0.78 vs. 0.74/hr) but lower enzyme activity (2,553 vs. 3,723 units/L) than those of the induction system. When fed-batch fermentation was performed, biomass and enzyme activity reached the highest levels of 36 g/L and 9,152 units/L, respectively. The fed batch cultures performed superior results than batch culture in terms of biomass yield (4.62-5.42 folds) and enzyme synthesis (3.39-4.00 folds). In addition, the fed-batch induction strategy at high cell density resulted in the best productivity in cell growth as well as enzyme activity rather than the induction method at low cell density or the constitutive expression.

마이크로파 가열(microwave heating)에 의하여 제올라이트 NaY를 합성하였으며, 그 결과를 기존의 가열 방법(conventional heating)에 의하여 합성한 결과와 비교하였다. 같은 승온 속도를 사용하였을 때는 마이크로파에 의하여 가열하였을 때가 기존의 가열 방법에 비하여 NaY 결정 생성의 유도 기간(induction period)이 감소하였으며 결정의 생성 속도가 증가하였다. 또한 마이크로파의 사용 여부와 관계없이 승온 속도가 빠를 때도 유도 기간이 감소하고 결정 생성 속도가 증가하였다. 빠른 승온 속도에서 합성하였을 때 최종 결정의 크기가 크며, 이는 마이크로파의 사용에 의하여 더욱 증가하였다. 빠른 승온 속도에서는 반응 시간이 짧아져서 NaY의 합성에 소모되는 에너지 소모량은 감소하였다. 본 연구의 조건에서는 에틸렌글리 콜조(ethylene glycol bath)를 사용한 기존 가열 방법에서의 에너지 소모량이 마이크로파 가열보다 적게 나타났는데, 이는 마이크로파 에너지를 사용하는 것이 항상 효율적인 것만은 아니라는 것을 말해준다. 그러나 승온 속도를 적절히 조절하면 마이크로파 가열에 의해서 에너지 면에서 보다 효율적으로 NaY를 합성할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다

Phase II 효소계는 자연계에 존재하는 다양한 화학물질과 천연 소재들에 의해 유도되며, 이들의 유도는 화학적 발암물질과 그 밖의 여러 가지 독성물질들로부터 생체를 보호하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 파프리카의 메탄올 추출물을 제조하고, 이를 각 용매별로 분획하여 Hepa1c1c7 세포주를 이용하여 대표적인 암예방 효소인 quinone reductase의 유도 활성을 조사하였다. 그 중 QR 유도활성이 가장 높았던 EtOAc 분획물은 $10-500\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 처리했을 때, $200\;{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 QR 활성이 약 3.3배로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 파프리카의 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량 역시 EtOAc 분획물에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 $BP^rcl$ 세포주에서도 농도 의존적으로 높은 QR 유도활성을 보여 파프리카의 EtOAc 분획물의 항암성분은 monofunctional inducer인 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 슬립캐스팅 성형법을 이용하여 실린더형 $MoSi_2$계 세라믹 서스셉터를 개발하여 고온 유도가열에 적용시켰다. $MoSi_2$계 소재는 SHS법(Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis)으로 합성하였고 XRD 분석을 통해 합성된 상과 결정구조를 확인하였다. 합성된 소재로 실린더 성형체를 제작하기 위해 슬립캐스팅을 진행하였고 슬립의 고형분 함량 및 유지시간을 조절하여 실린더 성형체의 두께를 제어하였다. 최종적으로 성형체 소결을 통해 유도가열 발열체를 제작하였고 열처리과정 중 표면에 형성된 $SiO_2$층은 SEM/EDS 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 서스셉터로서의 가열성능을 평가하기 위해 유도가열기로 일정한 출력을 인가하였을 때 $(Mo,W)Si_2$ 실린더 서스셉터의 표면온도를 측정하여 출력 2 kW를 인가하였을 때 발열특성을 분석하였으며, 서스셉터 표면의 최고 온도는 $1457^{\circ}C$, 평균 승온속도는 $19^{\circ}C/s$로 우수한 가열 특성을 나타냈다.

The results of chromosome aberration test in mammalian cells in culture (Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells) showed no induction of structural and numerical aberrations by antifungal agents of YH1715 series regardless of metabolic activation. While positive control group (mitomycin C and benzo(a)pyrene) showed structural chromosome aberrations of 37% and 23%, respectively. The in vivo induction of micronuclei was measured in polychromatic erythrocytes in bone marrow of male ddY mouse given YH1715R and YH1729R at 1, 0.5, 0.25 g/kg by p.o. once. After 24 hours, animals were sacrificed and evaluated 40 the incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in whole erythrocytes. Although a positive response for induction of micronuclei in animals treated with mitomycin C demonstrated the sensitivity of the test system for detection of a chemical clastogen, YH1715R did not induce micronuclei in bone marrow of ddY male mice but induced cytotoxicity to bone marrow cells at the highest concentration (1 g/kg, p〈0.05), and YH1729R induced micronuclei in bone marrow of ddY male mice dose dependently (p<0.05) but did not induce cytotoxicity to bone marrow cells.

To validate and to estimate the chemical hazard playa very important role to environment and human health. The detection of many synthetic chemicals used in industry that may pose a genetic hazard in our environment is of great concern at present. Since these substances are not limited to the original products, and enter the environment, they have become widespread environmental pollutants, thus leading to a variety of chemicals that possibly threaten the public health. In this resepct, the clastogenicity of 17 synthetic chemicals was evaluated with bone marrow micronucleus assay in mice. The positive control, mitomycin C (2 mg/kg, i.p.) revealed significant induction ratio of percentage of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes/1,000 polychromatic erythrocytes compared to solvent controls. The chemicals with relatively high $LD_{50}$ value such as allyl alcohol (CAS No. 107-18-6), 2,4-pentanedione (CAS No. 123-54-6) and 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol (CAS No. 88-04-0) revealed no significant induction of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in mice. From this results, 17 synthetic chemicals widely used in industry have revealed no significant micronucleus induction of clastogenicity in mice in this experiment.

The infection of liver flukes, Clonorchis sinensis (CS) and Opisthorchis viverrini (OV), has been known as a risk factor to induce cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCC) in human living in the endemic area, providing promoting effect on the liver initiated by chemical carcinogens. The present study evaluated the relationship between the dosage level of dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) and the infection load of CS in the neoplastic development by histopathological examination of the treated hamsters. To evaluate the effects of DMN, different doses of DMN ranging from 0 to 25 ppm were administered to hamsters with 20 CS metacercariea. For the risk assessment of the infection load, 0, 5, 15, 50 CS metacercariae were respectively infected with 12 ppm DMN. The mortality was closely related to the infection load rather than the concentration of DMN. The infection of CS clearly promoted the induction of CCC even at dose level of 6 ppm DMN. Only five metacercariae were enough to promote CCC induction at the concentration of 12 ppm DMN.

Magnaporthe grisea, the casual agent of rice blast, requires formation of an appressorium, a dome-shaped and well melanized infection structure, to penetrate its host. Environmental cues that induce appressorium formation include hydrophobicity and hardness of contact surface and chemicals from its host. Artificial surfaces are widely used to induce appressorium formation, but frequencies of appressorium induction are not always consistent. To understand variable induction of appressorium formation in M. grisea, several factors were tested on GelBond. High levels of appressorium formation were induced over a wide range of temperature (20~3$0^{\circ}C$) and pH (4~7). spore age up to 3-week-old did not significantly affect appressorium formation, but only a few apressoria on GelBond. However, adenosine specifically inhibited appressorium formation. Adenosine inhibition of appressorium formation was restored by exogenous addition of cAMP. Germ tube tips of M. grisea maintained the ability to differentiate appressoria by chemical inducers on GelBond at least up to 16 h after conidia germination. These results suggest that environmental factors have little effect on the variable induction of appressorium formation on the artificial surface in M. grisea.
