Steric and electronic parameters of 4'-substituents play significant roles in steering the conformation of nucleoside analogues. In order to investigate the relationship of 4'-group with antiviral enhancement, novel 4'-hydroxymethyl-5'-norcarbocyclic adenosine phosphonic acid analogues were designed and synthesized from 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-ethanol (5) using reiterative Grignard addition and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as key reactions. The synthesized adenosine phosphonic acids analogues (22) and (23) were subjected to antiviral screening against HIV-1. Compound (23) exhibited moderate anti-HIV activity ($EC_50$ = 8.61 ${\mu}M$) in the CEM cell line.

This study is undertaken to investigate the major factor which causes a fouling phenomenon in membrane separation system and effect of hydrophilic treatment on fouling repression of hydrophobic polymer (polysulfone, PSf). Chlorosulfonic acid (CSA) and sulfuric acid as a sulfonating agents are used to produce sulfonated PSf (SPSf). SPSf membrane is prepared under several conditions to investigate it's separation process. The extent of fouling-repression is measured by membrane filtration index (MFI) value. With increasing the ion exchange capacity (I.E.C), the flux of SPSf membrane is decreased but the rejection is increased and the flux is less reduced. According to the MFI value, the SPSf membrane has a fouling-retardant effect.

Photoreactive multilayer films were prepared using long-chin alkyl diesters of p-phenylenediacrylic acid(p-PDA). In spite of the absence of hydrophilic groups in these molecules, they formed stable monolayers on the water surface when mixed with arachidic acid. Surface showed the presence of a condecsed phase and these monolayer could be transferred onto a substrate with Y-type deposition. The UV spectra of mixed multilayer films showed of absorption peak compared with that in solution. The linear relationship between absorbanoe and the number of layers supports the successful formation of multilayer films.

To improve the quality of coated paper, the continuous research to the coating components and development of alternative latices is required. Recently, amphoteric latex is getting a great concern due to their changable properties of surface charge through controlling pH and some methods have been tried to prepare amphoteric latices. This study was carried out to synthesize amphoteric latex using seeding polymerization method with low concentration emulsifier. Styrene was used as a main monomer in addition to acrylonitrile for a hydrophilic comonomer. acrylic acid for a anionic comonomer and N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate for a cationic comonomer. Particle size and viscosity of latex were greatly affected by addition of acrylic acid and ammonium persulfate as an initiator. Negative charge of latex in alkali condition was changed to zero to positive charge in around pH 4.

1. Introduction : The clean technology using ion exchange membranes have drawn attention increasingly with advancement of the membrane synthesis. Ion exchange membranes have been used for diffusion dialysis, electrodialysis, electrodialytic water splitting and electrodeionization. Bipolar membranes(BPM), consisting of a cation exchange layer and an an_ion exchange layer, can convert a salt to an acid and a base without chemical addition. Using the bipolar membrane, a large quantity of industrial wastes containing salts can be reprocessed to generate acids and bases. Recent development of high performance bipolar membranes enables to further expand the potential use of electrodialysis in the chemical industry. The water-splitting mechanism in the bipolar membrane, however, is a controversial subject yet. In this study bipolar membranes were prepared using commercial ion exchange membranes and hydrophilic polymer as a binder to investigate the effects of the interface hydrophilicity on water-splitting efficiency. In addition, the water splitting mechanism by a metal catalyst was discussed.

PLA, PGA and PLGA films were treated with chloric acid mixture solution [70% perchloric acid (HClO$_4$)/potassium chlorate (KClO$_3$) aq. saturated solution, 3 : 2] to increase surface wettability and thus cell compatibility. The surface-treated PLA, PGA, and PLGA films were characterized by the measurement of water contact angle, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. Surface wettability of chloric acid-treated PLA, PGA, and PLGA film surfaces was gradually increased with increase of treatment time. Unlike EtOH pre-treatment, chloric acid-treated polymer films maintain hydrophilic surface after drying. In cell adhesion test, fibroblasts were cultured on the chloric acid-treated film surfaces for 1 and 2 days. As the surface wettability increased, the cell adhesion on the surface were increased. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the surface wettability of polymer plays an important role for cell adhesion and proliferation behavior.

We have investigated the dielectric and electrical characteristics of palmitic acid(PA) stearic acid(SA) and arachidic acid(AA) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films because these fatty acid systems have a same hydrophilic group and a different hydrophobic one(methylene group or alkyl chain length). The fatty acid systems were used as LB films and the status of the deposited films was confirmed by evaluating the transfer ratio the UV absorption and the capacitance. The dielectric characteristics such as the frequency-capacitance characteristics and the dielectric dispersion and absorption characteristics of PA SA and AA through-plane were measured. The relative dielectric constants of PA, SA and AA LB films were about 3.0~4.6, 2.7~3.0 and 2.4~3.0 respectively. That is the relative dielectric constants were decreased in proportion to the chain length of methylene group. Also the dielectric dispersion and absorption of each fatty acid LB films have arisen from spontaneous polarization of dipole polarization in the range of 10$^4$~10$^{5}$ ［Hz］. The conductivity of PA, SA and AA LB films obtained from I-V characteristics were about 9$\times$10$^{-14}$ , 3$\times$10$^{-14}$ and 5$\times$10$^{-15}$ ［S/cm］. respectively. These results have shown the insulating materials and could control the conductivity y changing the length of methylene group. Also we have confirmed that the barrier height of fatty acid systems were almost the same ones obtained from dielectric characteristics.

In this paper we have described the structural characterization of recombinant bovine somatotropin produced in Escherichia coli. Recombinant bovine somatotropin consists of 191 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of 21,802 Da. For fragmentation of recombinant bovine somatotropin, we have used trypsin, Staphylococcus aureus V8 pretease, CNBr, and mild acid hydrolysis method. Digestion and cleavage with these proteases and chemicals yielded peptides of various size for amino acid sequence determination. The N-terminal sequence analysis was carried out up to thirty residues. Because the design of the recombinant bovine somatotropin gene for expression was such that the coding sequence begins with an initiation codon, AUG, before Ala, the first amino acid of bovine somatotropin, we could expect the initial amino acid as N-formyl Met. But the first amino acid of this protein, expressed in E. coli cells as inclusion bodies, was Ala. And the amino acid composition of RP-HPLC purified recombinant bovine somatotropin was determined and no essencial difference was observed. The amino acid sequence of the recombinant bovine somatotropin was identical to that predicted from its recombinant gene. There was no processing or replacement of amino acid residues in recombinant bovine somatotropin expressed in E. coli. The hydropathy plot of recombinant bovine somatotropin revealed a hydrophobic region at the NH2-terminus and hydrophilic region at the COOH-terminus. The E. coli expression system is thought to be valuable for the expression of recombinant bovine somatotropin because protein was processed to remove the N-terminal Met residue by methionyl-aminopeptidase autonomously.

This research was performed to identify the anti-inflammatory constituent from the herb of Lycorus lucidus (Lamiaceae). The MeOH extract of this plant material and its two fractions, the lipophilic- ($CHCl_3$ fraction) and the hydrophilic fraction (BuOH fraction), were prepared to test anti-inflammatory activity. For this purpose, the inhibition rate on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity was assessed by determining nitric oxide (NO) formation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophage 264.7 cells. The $CHCl_3$ fraction that greatly inhibited nitric NO formation was chromatographed to lead the isolation of ursolic acid. Since ursolic acid inhibited NO formation dose dependently in this study, this compound was considered as one of the active constituent responsible for anti-inflammation. However, the activity of rosmarinic acid isolated from the BuOH fraction was weak.
