Although Korean influenza virus isolates have been genetically associated with the vaccine strains of the corresponding year, influenza B viruses have prevailed almost every year in Korea during the past decades. We have 'analyzed the genetic characteristics and evolutionary patterns of the haemagglutinin (HA) 1 domains of influenza B viruses isolated during 1988-1999 using direct RT-PCR and sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis of influenza B viruses isolated in Korea indicated that antigenically and genetically distinguishable strains of the lineage II and lineage III variants had been cocirculated. Variants prevailed in early 1990s are represented in 1996/97 and 1998/99 and some different variants have been co circulated geographically and prevailed concurrently in Korea. All HA1s of Korean isolates have amino acid substitutions mainly in the region between position 124 and 310, which was previously proposed an immunodominant region. Insertion-deletion patterns of the HA gene revealed that Korean influenza B viruses were evolved from Lee40 with different manner between lineage II and III viruses. Lineage III viruses were also divided into two groups as conserved group and inserted group, in relation to Lee40. But lineage II viruses had evolved with directional pattern. Antigenic index proposed that influenza B isolates prevailed since 1996/97 seasons might had emerged from the antigenic variants of a Seo1697-like virus and that new variants might appear from the lineage II viruses resulting in persistent prevalence in Korea.

본 연구에서는 ZnTPP와 MgTPP를 도우핑한 폴리이미드의 과악적 성질을 UV spectrum과 emission spectrum을 이용하여 조사하였다. Tetraphenylporphyrin-zinc (ZnTPP)와 Tetraphenyl-porphyrin-magnesium (MgTPP)는 전하이동현상을 보였다. 폴리이미드와 폴피린관련 자외흡수피크에서 red-shift를 관찰할 수 있었다. 이는 폴리이미드의 이미드와 폴피린에 포함된 금속 물질과의 전하이동착체의 형성때문으로 설명할 수 있다. In this research, we fabricated metalloporphyrin doped polymides(PI) and characterized them with ultraviolet spectrophotometer and emission spectrophotometer. Tetraphenylporphyrin-zinc-doped and Tetraphenylporphyrin-magnesium-doped PIs showed charge transfer phenomena. Red-shift was obseved in polyimide and porphyrin related bands at the same time. This phenomena can be explained that charge transfer complex(CTC) formed between imide group of PI and metal in the porphyrin.

이천배,주은희,최수라,석대은,명평근 충남대학교 기초과학연구소 1999 忠南科學硏究誌 Vol.26 No.1

The inhibition pattern of three inhibitors(tacrine, decamethonium and propidium) on the hydrolysis of various thiocholine ester substrates by eel acetylcholinesterase was comparatively examined. When the substrate was acetylthiocholine, it showed a similar competitive inhibition by tacrine inhibitor, and a mixed type inhibition by decamethonium and propidium inhibitors. When the substrate was pentanoylthiocholine, it showed an uncompetitive inhibition by tacrine, and a noncompetitive inhibition by decamethonium. When the substrate was laurylthiocholine, it showed mixed type and uncompetitive inhibition by tacrine, and a competitive inhibition by decamethonium and propidium. Those results suggest that the active site of acetylcholinesterase has the existence of hydrophobic site besides the anionic and esteratic site.

The kinetics and mechanism of nucleophilic addition of L-Cysteine to P-nitrostyrlphenyl-sulfone substrate over wide pH range was presented and analyzed in detail. The rate constants were determined by ultra-violet spectrophotometry in 50% methanol water mixed solvent at 25℃ and the following rate equation which can be applied over wide pH range was obtained. i.e kt = ko + kp [OH^(-)] =(1.92×10^(-3)+3.71×10^(3)[OH^(-)]/8.94×10^(-2)+1.03×10^(5)[OH^(-)]) +4.56×10^(2)OH^(-)] From the rate equation, the following mechanism were proposed; above pH 10. 50, the reaction proceed by the attack of L-Cy-S^(-) on the activated carbon-carbon double bind of substrate. Below pH 8.50, the reaction proceed by addition of L-Cysteine to p-nitrostyrl phenylsulfone substrate. And in the range of pH 8.50-10.50, these two reaction occur competitively.

疎水性 環境이 Spermine에 의하여 誘發되는 凝縮된 DNA의 異例的 吸光度-溫度樣相에 미치는 影響

We have investigated the effect of hydrophobic environmental reagents (urea and DMSO) on the anomalous absorbance-temperature profile of condensed DNA, induced by spermine. The cooperativity of the phase transition to the trough region in the anomalous absorbance-temperature profile is more sensitive to the hydrophobic environmental reagents than that of the melting region, and the trough peak size can be decreased by increased concentration of the hydrophobic reagents. The present data indicate the importance of hydrophobic interaction in the stabilization of the condensed state of DNA induced by spermine, and that the anomalous absorbance-temperature profile is due to the thermal stabilization of the tertiary structure of the spermine-induced collapsed state of the DNA.

The initial metabolism of nitrate to nitrite can be readily demonstrated in vivo by incubating plant tissue in the presence of nitrate in the dark under aerobic condition. All wheat seedlings during germination were in a dark incubator, and eight days-old seedlings were used for these experiments. Few other dater on nitrate reductase inhibition by metal ions can be found and no detailed studies of some inhibition types have been reported. For this reason, the authors have carried out some experiments on the inhibition types of nitrate reductase by some metal ions. 1mM CuCl and ZnCl_2 have inhibited nitrate reductase activity to a range of great degree (20-40%), while 1mM MnCl_2 and CoCl_2 have acted as less potent nitrate reductase inhibitors under 10% decreased condition. Relatively, 1mM KCl, MgCl_2 and CaCl_2 have shown the result acting as an activator of nitrate reductase. On the other hand, nitrate reductase levels have shown a phenomenon of fluctuation in response to changes depending upon 0.001-0.1mM concentration of some chloride salts, and shown constant value to a high concentration(1mM) of inhibited chloride salts. Consequently, it is assumed that the results of inhibition are belong to mixed type among various inhibitions, especially with respect to the nitrate reductase activity of wheat seedlings treated with CuCl, ZnCl_2, MnCl_2 and CoCl_2.

Nowadays many products using nano-technology have been released and nano-technology would be more prospected in all kinds of industries especially cosmetic manufacturing and ingredient fields. In cosmetics, the saturated lecithin, one of the main surfactants to make liposome, has been used for its stability but it has been substituting by unsaturated lecithin which has excellent skin affinity and penetration. So we studied to develop nano-liposome below 50㎚ with unsaturated lecithin. To make stable nano-liposome, many factors including solvent like propylene glycol, pH balance, homogenizing pressure and liposome stabilizer like surfactant are important especially stearate series surfactants have positive effect in liposome size and long term stability. But in liposome with saturated lecithin, surfactant has negative effect and appropriate amount of oil should be used to be stable. So we could conclude that unsaturated lecithin is suitable than saturated lecithin to make nano-liposome.

INTERCALATING AGENTS의 핵산과의 상호작용에 미치는 폴리아민류의 영향에 대한 화학분광학적 연구 : 송아지 흉선 DNA-Spermine 복합체의 이례적 흡광도-온도 양상에 대한 Ethidium의 영향 Ⅰ. Ethidium Dependence of Spermine-Induced Anomalous Absorbance-Temperature Profile of Calf Thymus DNA

Spectroscopic investigations of spermine effects on the ethidium-DNA binding equilibrium, and on the absorbance-temperature profile of the DNA in the presence of ethidium bromide at various concentrations were performed, as the ethidium binding may be used as the probe of the DNA interactions with environmental ligands. The cooperativity, enthalpy, and the midpoint of the phase transition to the trough region, of the anomalous absorbance-temperature profile, which occurs at the spermine concentration where the DNA collapses into a compact structure, are more sensitive to ethidium than the Tm region phase, and the trough can be eliminated by increased concentration of ethidium.
