Rhodamine chromophore/fluorophore have been attracted to many researchers due to its excellent photophysical properties. In this study, we have designed and synthesized a strong emissive fluorescent dye chemosensor for toxic elements. A rhodamine-based sensor was prepared by incorporation the rhodamine fluorophore and several functional host groups with high affinity to hazardous metal and anion. This sensor shows a high selectivity and an excellent sensitivity and is a dual-responsive colorimetric and fluorescent metal/anion-specific sensor. In addition, the 1:1 binding mode was proposed based on Job's plot method. Finally, computational calculation was simulated and calculated to approach for HOMO/LUMO of this dye chemosensor.

New electroluminescent materials base on anthracene chromophore, [9.10-bis(${\alpha}$-naph -thylethenyl) anthracene (${\alpha}$-BNA)] were newly synthesized. The anthracene derivatives with bulky substituent possessed high melting point and they gave stable amorphous films through vacuum - sublimation methods. Three types of electroluminescent devices were fabricated with double layer and triple layer structure : ITO/TPD/emission layer/MgAg, ITO/emission layer/ OXD-7 and ITO/ TPD/ emission layer/OXD-7/MgAg, respectively. In three types of devices with the emissive layer of ${\alpha}$-BNA, efficient orange electroluminescence was observed. In the triple layer device whit a emitting layer of 20 nm thickness , maximum luminance was about 10000 cd/ $m^2$ at an applied voltage of 10v and maximum external quantum efficiency was 1.0%.

Grignard metathesis polymerizations of 1,1-disubstituted-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsiloles such as 1,1-dimethyl-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsilole, 1,1-diethyl-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsilole, 1,1-diisopropyl-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsilole, and 1,1-dihexyl-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsilole were performed to yield poly(1,1-disubstituted-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole)s containing fluorescent aromatic chromophore groups such as phenyl and silole in the polymer main chain: poly(1,1-dimethyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole), poly(1,1-diethyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole), poly(1,1-diisopropyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole), and poly(1,1-dihexyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole), respectively. The obtained materials are highly soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform and tetrahydrofuran. Fourier-transform infrared spectra of all the polymers have characteristic C=C stretching frequencies at $1620-1628cm^{-1}$. The prepared organosilicon polymers exhibit strong absorption maximum peaks at 273-293 nm in the tetrahydrofuran solution, showing a red-shift of 18-34 nm relative to those of the monomer, strong excitation maximum peaks at 276-303 nm, and strong fluorescence emission maximum bands at 350-440 nm. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that most of the polymers are stable up to $200^{\circ}C$ with a weight loss of 6-16% in nitrogen.

Two novel quinacridone (QNC) dyes with thiophene or benzene-conjugated bridge and cyanoacrylic acid acceptor were first designed and synthesized for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The absorption spectra, electrochemical and photovoltaic properties of these dyes were investigated. Under simulated AM 1.5G irradiation conditions, the solar cell based on the quinacridone dye containing thiophene as a bridge unit had a short-circuit photocurrent density of 8.51 $mA{\cdot}cm^{-2}$, an open-circuit voltage of 643.6 mV, and a fill factor of 0.70, corresponding to an overall conversion efficiency of 3.86%.

In high temperature ceramic glazes, a stable range of pink-red colors producing $Cr_2O_3-SnO_2-CaO-SiO_2$ pigments are factored by Cassiterite and Malayaite relationship with $Cr_2O_3$. The experiment described the effect of $CrCl_3$ by adding $H_3BO_3$ as a mineralizer to increase the formation of Malayaite crystal, substituting $CrCl_3$ instead of $Cr_2O_3$ in pigment as a chromophore. Synthesized pigments were analyzed by XRD, FT-IR, Raman Spectroscop, UV and UV-vis. The result shows the differences in amount of crystal phases and oxidation state of Cr ion, which causes the color change. The melting point of $CrCl_3$ is lower than $Cr_2O_3$ which act as a mineralizer and makes the pigment synthesized in lower temperature at $1200^{\circ}C$. Holding 3 h firing at $900^{\circ}C$ where the synthesize forms shows better effect of Malayaite crystal phases and increasing engaged effect of $CrCl_3$ where the color pigmentation is more defined then in $Cr_2O_3$.

Deoxygadusol (DO) and structurally related mycosporine-like amino acids, i.e. mycosporine glycine (MO) and mycosporine taurine (MT), were isolated from phytoplankton Prorocentrum micans and studied for the reactivity toward singlet oxygen. These water-soluble compounds with a cyclohexenone chromophore were all shown to be highly effective in quenching singlet oxygen ($^1$ $O_2$), with the efficiencies being significantly larger compared with histidine, a well-known $^1$ $O_2$ quencher. The $^1$ $O_2$ reaction rate constant ( $k_{Q}$) of DG was determined to be 5.4 ${\times}$ 10$^{7}$ $M^{-1}$ $s^{-1}$ by a steady state method based on competitive inhibition of rubrene oxidation. The feasibility of this method was confirmed by estimating the $k_{Q}$ values for MG and two other quenchers, furfuryl alcohol and 1,4-diazabicyclo [2,2,2]octane, and comparing with those values determined by the time-resolved $^1$ $O_2$ decay method in the previous work.ork.

Microbial rhodopsins are a superfamily of photoactive membrane proteins with the covalently bound retinal cofactor. Isomerization of the retinal chromophore upon absorption of a photon triggers conformational changes of the protein to function as ion pumps or sensors. After the discovery of proteorhodopsin in an uncultivated γ-proteobacterium, light-activated proton pumps have been widely detected among marine bacteria and, together with chlorophyll-based photosynthesis, are considered as an important axis responsible for primary production in the biosphere. Rhodopsins and related proteins show a high level of phylogenetic diversity; we focus on a specific class of bacterial rhodopsins containing the '3 omega motif.' This motif forms a stack of three non-consecutive aromatic amino acids that correlates with the B-C loop orientation and is shared among the phylogenetically close ion pumps such as the NDQ motif-containing sodium-pumping rhodopsin, the NTQ motif-containing chloride-pumping rhodopsin, and some proton-pumping rhodopsins including xanthorhodopsin. Here, we reviewed the recent research progress on these 'omega rhodopsins,' and speculated on their evolutionary origin of functional diversity.

For understanding molecular mechanisms of photochemical reactions, in particular reactions of proteins with biological functions, it is important to elucidate both the initial reactions from the photoexcited states and the series of subsequent chemical reactions, e.g., conformation, intermolecular interactions (hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions), and inter-protein interactions (oligomer formation, dissociation reactions). Although time-resolved detection of such dynamics is essential, these dynamics have been very difficult to track by traditional spectroscopic techniques. Here, relatively new approaches for probing the dynamics of protein photochemical reactions using time-resolved transient grating (TG) are reviewed. By using this method, a variety of spectrally silent dynamics can be detected and such data provide a valuable description about the reaction scheme. Herein, a blue light sensor protein TePixD is the exemplar. The initial photochemistry for TePixD occurs around the chromophore and is detected readily by light absorption, but subsequent reactions are spectrally silent. The TG experiments revealed conformational changes and changes in inter-protein interactions, which are essential for TePixD function. The TG experiments also showed the importance of fluctuations of the intermediates as the driving force of the reaction. This technique is complementary to optical absorption detection methods. The TG signal contains a variety of unique information, which is difficult to obtain by other methods. The advantages and methods for signal analyses are described in detail in this review.

암소에서 기른 귀리로부터 얻은 59 kD phytochrome의 liposome과 Cibacron Blue dye에 대한 결합성질을 규명하였다. 124 kD 및 118 kD phytochrome과는 달리 Pfr형의 59 kD phytochrome은 liposome 및 Cibacron Blue dye와 정전기적 힘으로 결합한다. 이러한 결과는 124 kD 및 118 kD phytochrome이 Pr형에서 Pfr형으로 광변환시 노출되는 소수표면이 59kD Pfr에는 존재하지 않음을 의미한다. 비교적으로 강한 소수부분이 59 kD polypeptide에 존재함이 알려져 있으므로 C-말단부위로부터 잘려져나간 55 kD tryptic domain이 l18kD 및 124kD Pfr의 소수표면 노출에 중요할 역할을 하는 것으로 믿어진다.

Phenoxazinone synthase catalyzes the oxidative condensation of two molecules of substituted o-aminophenol to the phenoxazinone chromophore of actinomycin. Mutant strain, Streptomyces sp. V-8-M-1 producing higher phenoxazinone synthase, was obtained from Streptomyces sp. V-8 by treatment of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. The phenoxazinone synthase was purified from extract of mutant strain of Streptomyces sp. V-8-M-l by successive steps of streptomycin sulfate, ammonium sulfate precipitation. DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-200 column chromatography. Molecular weight of the enzyme was 360,000 daltons. The enzyme was composed of octamer of a single subunit of 45,000 daltons. The Km value and Vmax value for 3-HAA were $14.9{\;}{\mu}M$ and 9.5 mg/U, respectively. The optimal pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were 9.0 and $25~30^{\circ}C$, respectively. Treatment of the enzyme with group specific reagents, phenylglyoxal, p-hydroxymercury-benzoate, Nbromosuccinimide, 5.5'-dithiobis-nitrobenzoic acid and ethylmaleimide resulted in loss of enzyme activity, which shows arginine and cysteine residues are at or near the active site.
