고상 반응법을 써서 전이금속(Cr, Ti)을 치환한 란탄칼슘망간산화물, $La_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}(Mn_{0.98}TM_{0.02})O_3$의 자성특성을 연구하였다. 자성 특성은 VSM을 써서 측정하였고, 50 Oe에서 zero field cooling과 field cooling을 하면서, 자화-온도측정을 Cr과 Ti 치환한 경우에 측정하였다. $La_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}(Mn_{0.98}Cr_{0.02})O_3$는 클러스터 또는 스핀유리와 유사한 거동을 보였으며, $La_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}(Mn_{0.98}Ti_{0.02})O_3$에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 큐리온도는 전이금속이 치환된 시편의 경우 란탄칼슘망간산화물 $La_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}MnO_3$의 큐리온도 245.5K에서 감소한, 235.5 K [$La_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}(Mn_{0.98}Cr_{0.02})O_3$], 232.7 K [$La_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}(Mn_{0.98}Ti_{0.02})O_3$]로 모두 감소하였다. 자벽 고정(domain wall pinning)을 알아보기 위해 온도에 따른 보자력 측정을 하였고, 이 결과를 defect와 자벽 간의 상호작용의 관점으로 해석하였다.

본 연구는 수계에서 오랜 시간 동안 안정한 생체적합 금 나노업자의 제조에 관한 것으로, 환원제와 안정제의 역할을 동시에 수행하는 폴리에틸렌이민을 이용해 응집성이 낮은 초미립 폴리에틸렌이민 금 나노입자를 상온의 수용액 상에서 합성하였다. 폴리에틸렌이민 금 나노입자의 평균 입자크기는 8~12 nm이었고, 수계의 나노콜로이드 %에서 50nm 내외의 클러스터를 형성하였으며, 매우 뛰어난 안정성을 보였다. 상대적으로 낮은 금속 전구체의 농도에서 나노입자를 제조하였을 때, 입자의 크기가 두드러지게 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 폴리에틸렌이민-금 나노입자의 X-선 회절분석 결과, 금에서 나타나는 전형적인 결정 피크가 발견되었다. 또한 세포배양실험 결과, 폴리에틸렌이민과는 달리 폴리에틸렌이민-금 나노입자는 98%의 세포 생존율을 보여 세포독성은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 본 연구에서 합성된 폴리에틸렌이민-금 나노입자는 CT 조영제 등으로의 활용이 기대된다.

Two pathways of ammonium assimilation and glutamate biosynthesis have been identified in microorganisms. One pathway involves the NADP-linked glutamate dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the amination of 2-oxoglutarate to form glutamate. An alternative pathway involves the combined activities of glutamine synthetase, which aminates glutamate to form glutamine, and glutamate synthase, which transfers the amide group of glutamine to 2-oxoglutarate to yield two molecules of glutamate. We have cloned the large subunit of the glutamate synthase (GOGAT) from Salmonella typhimurium by screening the expression of GOGAT and complementing the gene in E. coli GOGAT large subunit-deficient mutants. Three positive clones (named pUC19C12, pUC19C13 and pUC19C15) contained identical Sau3AI fragments, as determined by restriction mapping and Southern hybridization, and expressed GOGAT efficiently and constitutively using its own promoter in the heterologous host. The coding region expressed in Escherichia coli was about 170 kDa on SDS-PAGE. This gene spans 4,732 bases, contains an open reading frame of 4,458 nucleotides, and encodes a mature protein of 1,486 amino acid residues (Mr =166,208). The EMN-binding domain of GOGAT contains 12 glycine residues, and the 3Fe-4S cluster has 3 cysteine residues. The comparison of the translated amino acid sequence of the Salmonella GOGAT with sequences from other bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Shigella flexneri, Yersinia pestis, Vibrio vulnificus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa shows sequence identity between 87 and 95%.

$Ag_4Br_4$ nanoclusters have been synthesized in about 75% of the sodalite cavities of fully $K^+$-exchanged zeolite A (LTA). An additional KBr molecule is retained in each large cavity as part of a near square-planar $K_4Br^{3+}$ cation. A single crystal of $Ag_{12}$-A, prepared by the dynamic ion-exchange of $Na_{12}$-A with aqueous 0.05 M $AgNO_3$ and washed with $CH_3OH$, was placed in a stream of flowing 0.05 M KBr in $CH_3OH$ for two days. The crystal structure of the product ($K_9(K_4Br)Si_{12}Al_{12}O_{48}{\cdot}0.75Ag_4Br_4$, a = 12.186(1) $\AA$) was determined at 294 K by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the space group Pm m. It was refined with all measured reflections to the final error index $R_1$ = 0.080 for the 99 reflections for which $F_o\;{\gt}\;4_{\sigma}\;(F_o)$. The thirteen $K^+$ ions per unit cell are found at three crystallographically distinct positions: eight $K^+$ ions in the large cavity fill the six-ring site, three $K^+$ ions fill the eight-rings, and two $K^+$ ions are opposite four-rings in the large cavity. One bromide ion per unit cell lies opposite a four-ring in the large cavity, held there by two eight-ring and two six-ring $K^+$ ions ($K_4Br^{3+}$). Three $Ag^+$ and three $Br^-$ions per unit cell are found on 3-fold axes in the sodalite unit, indicating the formation of nano-sized $Ag_4Br_4$ clusters (interpenetrating tetrahedra; symmetry $T_d$; diameter ca. 7.9 $\AA$) in 75% of the sodalite units. Each cluster (Ag-Br = 2.93(3) $\AA$) is held in place by the coordination of its four $Ag^+$ ions to the zeolite framework (each $Ag^+$ cation is 2.52(3) $\AA$ from three six-ring oxygens) and by the coordination of its four $Br^-$ ions to $K^+$ ions through six-rings (Br-K = 3.00(4) $\AA$).
