    A new hybrid macrocycle for the optical detection of Cs-137 is designed. The macrocycle is made of cucurbituril (a molecule with the shape of a pumpkin) and naphthalene. This hybrid macrocycle can sense the presence of Cs+ ions when uv-vis radiation is used. Also, the fluorescence spectra of the hybrid macrocycle show a change in intensity when the Cs+ ion binds the carbonyl groups of the macrocycle. These results indicate that the designed chemosensor can be used for the detection of Cs-137 in contaminated soils and fluids.

    Using DFT calculations and the crystal structures of selected macrocycles we investigated the binding of Cs+ ion to cucurbituril, calixarene, and sulfolane. Cucurbituril is a molecule with the shape of a pumpkin which can bind two Cs+ ions. The calculations indicate that binding of hydrated Cs+ ions to cucurbituril is favored by the weak Cs-OH2 bond. The binding of Cs+ ions to calixarene showed the importance of counterions. The advantage of using sulfolane is that this molecule is liquid at room temperature. Finally, we studied the structures of clusters containing Cs+ ions bonded to sulfate and ammonium ions.

    Estrogen receptor and androgen receptor participate sexual function as well as bone maintenance and nervous system. Creation of tissue selective ligands, which separate these functions, requires drug design in consideration of conformational change of receptor-ligand complex. In this project, we focused designand synthesis of new estrogen receptor ligands and androgen receptor ligands utilizing a new hydrophobic structure for the design. We have developed lead compounds for anti-osteoporosis agent and anti-prostate cancer agent which anti-androgen withdrawal syndrome.

    With the aid of quantum mechanical calculations, we have explored the electronic structure of several proteins and obtained new insights about its relation with biological function. Membrane proteins such as the Kcsa potassium channel, the chloride channel, and the light-harvesting LH2 complex are characterized by very large dipole moments (500~1000 Debye). This means that the protein inside the membrane is strongly polarized. This polarization of charge is connected to biological function. For example, strong polarization may be useful to maintain constant the flux of ions through the membrane. Furthermore, the large dipole moment of these proteins is important on helpin smaller proteins like charybdotoxin to adopt the correct orientation when they interact with membrane proteins. Finally, the sulfilimine bond, a new type of chemical bonding inside proteins (collagen IV) has been investigated and its properties have been revealed using quantum mechanical calculations.
