We could observe the single NP collision through the enhanced current by electrocatalytic redox recycling. The overall current transient consists of repeated current spikes, superimposed on a current decay to reach a steady-state value. The current responses were caused by random individual events as a function of time rather than the usual continuous current caused by an ensemble of a large number of events. The height and frequency of the peak current are proportional to the applied potential and the particle concentration. The current is very sensitive to the material and surface state of the measuring electrode.

Furthermore, the use of statistical mechanics under the ideal gas model (IGM) assumption enables estimation of the Gibbs energy G, which involves the enthalpy H and entropy S of a gaseous molecule. , (1) , (2) . (3) The subscripts elec, vib, rot, and trans denote electronic, vibrational, rotational, and translational contributions, respectively, to the energy and entropy. In many cases, except at extremely high/low temperatures and/or pressures, the IGM works well and reasonably reproduces the thermodynamic properties. The situation is more complicated in the liquid phase. Much effort has been devoted to developing solvation models to describe electrostatic interactions and non-electrostatic interactions such as Pauli repulsion, dispersion, and cavity formation energy. The self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) formalism is one of the most widely used models; it mainly focuses on the solvation free energy. The contribution of solvent effects obtained using the SCRF is normally added to the electronic energy using standard quantum chemical programs. Other contributions to the enthalpy and entropy are evaluated using the formalism based on the IGM. However, the molecular motion in the liquid phase is remarkably different from that in the gas phase. As a result, the IGM treatment fails to reproduce the condensed-phase thermochemistry and occasionally lead to unphysical behaviours. We have recently an alternative approach to calculate thermochemical parameters in the condensed phase, in particular, in the liquid phase.[1,2] The model represents translational and rotational motions of a solute as vibrations interacting with a cavity wall of solvents and treats all the degrees of freedom for nuclear motion as harmonic vibrations. Thus, we call it the harmonic solvation model (HSM). The computational cost of HSM is comparable with the conventional calculations for enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy using the ideal gas model (IGM): namely, geometry optimization and frequency analysis are required in the quantum chemical calculations. The accuracy of the HSM is confirmed by applying to the standard formation reaction of liquid water, combustion reactions of liquid organic molecules, vapor–liquid equilibration, and dissolution of gaseous molecules. For example, the boiling point of water was reasonably described by the present HSM treatment, while the conventional IGM treatment failed to obtain a crossing of the two Gibbs energy curves for gaseous and liquid water (Fig. 1).

Recent advances in fluorescence microscopy made possible to observe a single molecular event. However, there are many obstacles to track single molecule or particle in-vivo as well as in-vitro. Among them are low signal-to-noise ratio, photobleaching, and so on. In this talk, I will describe our recent works on fluorescence imaging to track active transport of single molecule and particle in living cells and hydrogel. Endosomal active transport within living cells has been observed with nanometer resolution in multiple cell lines and for different cargo types and their behavior was carefully analyzed with millions of tracking data. DNA transport in agarose networks driven by electric field has also been observed with 2-color fluorescence microscopy. The ends and centers of monidisperse DNA molecule were labeled separately and their positions and conformation have been analyzed with nanometer resolution.

A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of organic molecules is a good candidate to serve this demand. A SAM is a two-dimensional molecular array that is spontaneously organized by adsorption of amphiphilic organic molecules on a solid inorganic surface. Typically, an adsorbing molecule consists of a head group that initiates the molecule to anchor to a solid substrate surface, a methylene backbone chain that influences the packing density of a film by its length, and a terminal group that determines the surface properties of the thin film. The present study explores the chain-length dependent frictional properties of methyl (CH3-) terminated SAMs and mixed SAMs, desorption kinetics of SAMs in aqueous environment, and their thermally driven stability. Morphological and tribological properties were investigated with atomic force microscopy (AFM). Chain ordering of the thin films was analyzed with diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT) prior to the friction measurements. Wettability of the films was measured with water contact angles to explore hydrophobic nature of the films.

The spatial extent and temporal persistence of these regions of distinct dynamics have remained challenging to identify. Here, single molecule fluorescence measurements using a probe similar in size and mobility to the host o-terphenyl unambiguously reveal exponential relaxations distributed in time and space and directly demonstrate ergodicity of the system down to the glass transition temperature. In the temperature range probed, at least 200 times the structural relaxation time of the host is required to recover ensemble averaged relaxation at every spatial region in the system.

Most lipases resolve secondary alcohols in accordance with the “Kazlauskas rule” to give the R-enantiomer. In a similar manner toother lipases, Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) exhibits R-enantioselectivity towards2-heptanol, although the enantiomeric ratio (E)is low (E = 1.6). However, it has been observed unexpected enantioselectivity (i.e., S-enantioselectivity) (E = 58)of CRL towards N-Boc-4-aminobutan-2-ol, which has asimilar chain length to 2-heptanol. To develop a deeper understanding of themolecular basis for this unusual enantioselectivity, we have conducted a series of molecular modeling and substrate engineering experiments. The results of thesecomputational and experimental analyses indicated that a hydrogen bond between the Ser450 residue and the nitrogen atom of the carbamate group is critical to stabilize the transition state of the S-enantiomer. 2) Hab Mutase We have established a simple and efficient high-throughput screening (HTS) system to identify novel isomerization activity for aromatic compounds from soil metagenomic libraries. Based on this HTS approach, we have discovered and characterized a novel enzyme among 740,000 clones in metagenomic libraries. Then we attempted to develop a novel biotransformation reaction for organic synthesis. This enzyme was overexpressed in E. coli and tested for a biotransformation reaction in various reaction conditions for an optimization. The combination of reduction and isomerization was designed for an easy use of this reaction, and we prepared whole E. coli cell biocatalyst having dual activity. Using this biocatalyst, multi-step reaction with diverse aromatic compounds was successfully carried out to give rise to good yields. I will discuss the whole process from finding a novel enzyme to developing a new biotransformation. ========================= 정규세미나2. 제 목 : EGFR Inhibitors for Lung Cancer 연 사 : 이광호 박사(한국화학연구원) 일 시 : 2014년 12월 11일(목) 오후 5시 30분 장 소 : 화학관 세미나실 (330226호실) ------------------------- EGFR Inhibitors for Lung Cancer Erlotinib (Tarceva) & Gefitinib (Iressa) are currently in clinic use as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase inhibitors for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, their clinical efficacy is limited by both their mechanism-based toxicity and the development of drug-resistance mutations, including the gatekeeper T790M mutation. Unlike their quinazoline-based core scaffold, a new pyrimidine-based irreversible inhibitor has been identified for the EGFR gatekeeper T790M mutant specific activities. These pyrimidine-based EGFR inhibitors may provide improved therapeutic window and more effective clinical treatment for NSCLC patients.

Due to their high reactivity and chemoselectivity, organometal catalysts may play a unique role. In this presentation, our achievements on the use of stereodefined allylic N,O-acetals and O,O-acetals as a key moiety. This unstable functional group was efficiently synthesized by the unprecedented Pd-catalyzed asymmetric hydroamination of allenes. Various examples on the aza- and oxacycle synthesis will be also introduced, which illustrate the use of these stereodefined N,O-acetals as a stereodiversity-generating element. This new synthetic method should be highly useful for both the target-oriented and the diversity-oriented synthesis of bioactive natural products and analogues. References: 1.

Significant progress has been made on the borylation of sp2 C−H bonds, but the borylation of sp3 C‒H bonds is less developed. Compared to the borylation of sp2C‒H bonds, the borylation of sp3 C‒H bonds typically requires high catalyst loadings and excess of the saturated substrates. The regioselectivity of the borylation of sp3 C‒H bonds strongly favors reaction at primary C‒H bonds, making the functionalization of secondary C‒H bonds challenging. In this seminar, I will present a series of catalytic reactions that convert secondary sp3 C-H bonds of alkyl groups to C-B bonds. These reactions occur through metal-boryl complexes and metal-silyl complexes. This presentation will also include information on the properties of these complexes that lead to catalytic reactions and information on the properties and reactions of the organoboron product.

I will discuss my recent work on phosphohistidine (pHis), an unstable protein post-translational modification (PTM). Although the importance of pHis in cell signaling and metabolism has been long recognized, the full scope and exact function of protein histidine phosphorylation is not clearly understood. It is mainly due to the chronic lack of adequate research tools to investigate the unstable PTM. We provided first glimpse at this “dark matter” in the phosphoproteome through the development of stable phosphohistidine (pHis) analogs and specific antibodies towards pHis-containing proteins. The antibodies enabled the first selective detection and isolation of pHis proteins from native cell lysates. The phosphoproteomic workflow for pHis was also developed by synergistic combination of immunoenrichment and bioinformatic tools, thereby opening new opportunities. ========================= 정규세미나2. 제 목 : A Catalytic Enantioselective Glycolate Aldol Reaction via Lewis Base Activation of Lewis Acids and A General Enantioselective Approach to the Chemical Synthesis of the Chlorosulfolipids 연 사 : 정원진 교수(GIST) 일 시 : 2014년 11월 6일(목) 오후 5시 장 소 : 화학관 세미나실 (330226호실) ------------------------- A Catalytic Enantioselective Glycolate Aldol Reaction via Lewis Base Activation of Lewis Acids and A General Enantioselective Approach to the Chemical Synthesis of the Chlorosulfolipids Won-jin Chung Department of Chemistry, GIST, Gwangju, Korea Part 1. A general, efficient, Lewis-base catalyzed enantioselective addition of glycolate-derived silyl ketene acetals to a wide range of aldehydes will be presented. Both syn- and anti-diastereomers are accessible without changing the catalyst or controlling the geometry of the silyl ketene acetal. Simple modification of the size of alkyl groups on the silyl ketene acetal is sufficient to reverse the stereochemical course of the addition. The observed diastereoselectivity and reactivity could be rationalized by the analysis of six open transition state structures with the aid of computational analysis. Part 2. A concise and general approach has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of three structurally related chlorosulfolipids. Key advances include highly stereocontrolled additions to a,b-dichloroaldehydes, kinetic resolution of complex chlorinated vinyl epoxide intermediates, and Z-selective alkene cross metathesis of cis-vinyl epoxides. This strategy facilitated the synthesis of enantioenriched danicalipin A, mytilipin A, and malhamensilipin A in nine, eight, and eleven steps, respectively. References 1. Chung, W.-j.; Carlson, J.
