Halobacterium halobium으로부터 분리 정제된 퍼플멤브레인을 7.5% 폴리아크릴아미드겔에 혼합시켰다. 이 겔을 사용하여 pH 변화에 따른 흡수 스펙트라와 원편광 이색성스펙트라를 얻었다. pH 7.0에서 보여준 이들 스펙트라의 성질들은 수용액내에 부유하고 있는 퍼플멤브레인으로부터 얻은 것들과 동일하였다. pH 2.7에서는 최대흡광도를 605nm에서 나타내었으며 pH 0.8에서는 565nm에서 보여주었다. 광에 노출되지 않았던 겔의 경우는 광에 노출되었던 겔과는 달리 등흡광점을 보여주었다. pH 2.7과 pH 0.8에서 측정한 원편광 이색성스펙트라는 pH 7.0에서 보여준 bilobed형을 유지하였으며 UV영역에서 분자편광도나 스펙트라의 모양도 pH에 따라 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. pH 2.7에서 생성된 bR605acid 가 퍼플멤브레인의 정상 광화학 순환기 중간 생성물인 $O^{640}$와 유사한 성질을 가진종이 아닐까 추측된다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the dental caries activity of some commercial drinks. Methods : Acidity levels were recorded as pH values of original drinks and amount of 50%-sodium hydroxide(NaOH) required to neutralize by titration 50.00ml of the drink(It was called titratable acid). Acidity of the drinks with S. sobrinus was measured at an interval of one hour after incubating ($37^{\circ}C$) the test drinks and control solution which was composed 20.00ml of neutralized drinks as pH 7.0 with 0.2ml of a pooled suspension of S. sobrinus. Results : The drink with the highest pH value was the Cow's milk(pH $6.70{\pm}0.01$), and the most acidic was the Carbonated drink(pH $2.40{\pm}0.02$). The drink with the highest buffer effect was the Fruit juice($139.78{\pm}0.76$), and the lowest was the Glucose solution(control, $4.42{\pm}0.20$). The drinks with S. sobrinus during incubation at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24h were decreased to below critical pH 5.5. Spending times from pH 7.0 to pH 5.5~5.0 were Glucose solution(less than 1h). Carbonated drink(3h), Fruit juice(5h), Cow's milk(8h) and Mixed drink(21h). Conclusions: These results show that some commercial drinks with S. sorbrinus have the possibility of tooth decalcification. Thus, it is suggested that the people who have the low salivary secretion rate and the children who sleep without toothbrushing after drinking need the instruction for diet control and oral health education.

Activated carbon was prepared from pre-carbonized petroleum coke. Textural properties were determined from studies of the adsorption of nitrogen at 77 K and the surface chemistry was obtained using the Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer technique and the Boehm titration process. The adsorption of three aromatic compounds, namely phenol (P), p-nitrophenol (PNP) and benzoic acid (BA) onto APC in aqueous solution was studied in a batch system with respect to contact time, pH, initial concentration of solutes and temperature. Active carbon APC obtained was found to possess a high surface area and a predominantly microporous structure; it also had an acidic surface character. The experimental data fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model well; also, the intraparticle diffusion was the only controlling process in determining the adsorption of the three pollutants investigated. The adsorption data fit well with the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The uptake of the three pollutants was found to be strongly dependent on the pH value and the temperature of the solution. Most of the experiments were conducted at pH 7; the $pH_{(PZC)}$ of the active carbon under study was 5.0; the surface of the active carbon was negatively charged. The thermodynamic parameters evaluated for APC revealed that the adsorption of P was spontaneous and exothermic in nature, while PNP and BA showed no-spontaneity of the adsorption process and that process was endothermic in nature.

The human protein tyrosine kinase-6 (PTK6) polypeptide that is deduced from the cDNA sequence contains a Src homology (SH) 3 domain, SH2 domain, and catalytic domain of tyrosine kinase. We initiated biochemical and NMR characterization of PTK6 SH3 domain in order to correlate the structural role of the PTK6 using circular dichroism and heteronuclear NMR techniques. The circular dichroism data suggested that the secondary structural elements of the SH3 domain are mainly composed of $\beta$-sheet conformations. It is most stable when the pH is neutral based on the pH titration data. In addition, a number of cross peaks at the low-field area of the proton chemical shift of the NMR spectra indicated that the PTK6 SH3 domain retains a unique and folded conformation at the neutral pH condition. For other pH conditions, the SH3 domain became unstable and aggregated during NMR measurements, indicating that the structural stability is very sensitive to pH environments. Both the NMR and circular dichroism data indicate that the PTK6 SH3 domain experiences a conformational instability, even in an aqueous solution.

The activated carbon "C" was obtained by carbonization followed by activation with steam at 40% of burn-off. Oxidized carbons C-N, C-P and C-H were obtained by oxidizing the activated carbon C with concentrated nitric acid, ammonium peroxysulfate and hydrogen peroxide, respectively. The textural properties of the carbons were determined from nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. The acidic surface functional groups were determined by pH titration, base neutralization capacity and electrophoretic mobility measurements. The cation exchange capacities of un-oxidized and oxidized carbons were determined by the removal of Cu(II) and Ni(II) from their aqueous solutions. The surface area and the total pore volume decreased but the pore radius increased by the treatment of activated carbon with oxidizing agents. These changes were more pronounced in case of oxidation with $HNO_3$. The surface pH of un-oxidized carbon was basic whereas those of the oxidized derivative were acidic. The removal of Cu(II) and Ni(II) was pH dependent and the maximum removal of the both ions was obtained at pH of 5-6. Cu(II) was more adsorbed, a phenomenon which was ascribed to its particular electronic configuration.

A Thermodynamic study on the interaction of bovine calf thymus DNA with new designed Pd(II) complex (Ethylendiamine- 8-hydroxyquinolinato Palladium(II) chloride) was studied by using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) at 27 ${^{\circ}C}$ in Tris buffer solution at pH = 7.5. The enthalpies of Pd(II) complex + DNA interaction are reported and analysed in terms of the new solvation theory. It was indicated that there are three identical and non-cooperative sites for Pd(II) complex. The binding of a Pd(II) complex is endothermic with association equilibrium constants of 428.03 m$M^{-1}$ at 27 ${^{\circ}C}$. The binding of Pd(II) complex can cause some changes in the stability of the DNA at low and high Pd(II) complex concentrations. Our results suggested that this complex might interact with DNA as an intercalator, thus interfering with DNA replication and cell proliferation.

여러 가지의 분광법과 전위차 적정법을 이용하여, 퀴놀론의 유도체인 norfloxacin의 자체 회합과 pH에 따른 형태에 대하여 연구하였다. norfloxacin의 작용기 중에서 피페라진 고리와 카르복실기의 두 질소원자는 낮은 pH 용액에서는 수소화(양이온 형태)되고, 높은 pH 용액에서는 두 수소가 모두 이탈하며(음이온 형태), 중간 pH 범위의 용액에서는 zwitter 이온이 두드러지게 형성되었다. 또한, 이 중간 pH용액에서는 norfloxacin 두 분자가 자체 회합을 이루었다. Stern-Volmer 측정법에 의하여 norfloxacin-DNA 결합체의 결합 상수를 조사하였는데, 용액의 pH가 낮을수록 그 결합 상수는 증가하였다. 이것은 용액 상태에서 DNA에 결합하는 norfloxacin의 분자종이 여러 분자종 중에서 그 형태가 양이온임을 나타내는 것이다.

Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (PEG)-poly(${\beta}$-amino ester) (PAE) block copolymers were synthesized using a Michael-type step polymerization, and the construction of pH-sensitive polymeric micelles (PM) investigated. The ${\beta}$-amino ester block of the block copolymers functioned as a pH-sensitive moiety as well as a hydrophobic block in relation to the ionization of PAE, while PEG acted as a hydrophilic block, regardless of ionization. The synthesized polymers were characterized using $^1H-NMR$, with their molecular weights measured using gel permeation chromatography. The $pK_b$ values of the pH-sensitive polymers were measured using a titration method. The pH-sensitivity and critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the block copolymers in PBS solution were estimated using fluorescence spectroscopy. The pH dependent micellization behaviors with various bisacrylate esters varied within a narrow pH range. The critical micelle concentration at pH 7.4 decreased from 0.032 to 0.004 mg/mL on increasing the number of methyl group in the bisacrylate from 4 to 10. Also, the particle size of the block copolymer micelles was determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS). The DLS results revealed the micelles had an average size below 100 nm. These pH-sensitive polymeric micelles may be good carriers for the delivery of an anticancer drug.

Pseudomonas tolaasii에 의해서 분비되는 펩티드 독소인 tolaasin은 재배버섯에 세균성 갈반병을 유발한다. Tolaasin의 독성은 적혈구를 파괴하는 용혈활성으로 평가된다. Tolaasin 펩티드는 C-말단부위에 두 개의 amine기를 갖고있어, 이 펩티드의 세포막 결합은 amine기의 전하상태에 따라 다를 수 있다. 이것을 확인하기 위하여 tolaasin을 적정하였을 때, 적정곡선은 pH 7.0에서 9.6 사이에서 적정이 되는 amine기가 있음을 보였다. Tolaasin에 의한 용혈활성의 pH 의존성을 조사하였을 때, 용혈활성은 알칼리 조건에서 증가함을 확인하였다. 따라서, pH 변화에 따른 tolaasin의 막결합 특성을 조사하기 위하여 적혈구를 tolaasin과 사전배양한 후, tolaasin을 포함하지 않은 완충액으로 씻어내고, 사전배양중 적혈구에 결합한 tolaasin의 용혈활성을 측정하였을 때, 활성은 pH 8 이상에서 크게 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 tolaasin이 전하가 없거나 양전하량이 적은 상태에서 세포막에 잘 결합하여 세포독성이 커진다는 것을 의미한다.

본 연구는 낮은 활성으로 활용성이 제한된 ${\gamma$-알루미나의 이용을 높이기 위하여 표면을 처리한 알루미나의 계면전기적 특성과 표면활성간의 상관성을 규명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 질산알루미늄을 출발 물질로 하고 암모니아수를 침전제로 사용하여 제조한 알루미나와 황산, 질산, 염산으로 표면 처리한 알루미나를 질량이동법과 site-binding theory를 이용하여 영점전하점을 측정하였다. Amine Titration법과 Hammett 지시약법으로 표면활성점을 구하였다. 전해질에 분산된 알루미나의 계면특성은 전위차적정방법에 의하여 측정된 표면 전하밀도값을 이용하여 분석하였다. 표면전하밀도와 산량의 결과를 이용하여 얻은 ${\gamma$-알루미나의 표면특성과 계면전기적 특성의 상관성은 다음과 같다. 표면을 처리하지 않은 알루미나는 $H_o{\leq}+9.3$인 조건에서 소성온도가 증가함에 따라 산도는 감소한다. 표면처리한 알루미나는 표면을 처리하는 데 사용한 음이온의 농도가 증가하면 표면 이온화상수와 영점전하점은 감소한다. 표면을 처리한 알루미나의 표면전하밀도와 산량은 $H_o{\leq}+4.8$인 조건에서 다음과 같은 상관관계를 갖는다. $SO_4^2-/Al_2O_3:Q_A=-0.172ln(0.0418{\sigma}+1.448)$ $NO_3^-/Al_2O_3:Q_A=-0.024{\sigma}-0.0189$ $Cl^-/Al_2O_3:Q_A=-0.01{\sigma}-0.2006$.
