Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing enzymatically highly branched-amylose and amylopectin cluster. Alpha-glucanotransferase or branching enzyme hydrolyzes the linkage of the segment between amylopectin clusters in starch, producing amylopectin cluster, and simultaneously branching enzyme attaches the branched side-chain to amylose, producing branched amylose, and subsequently treating the amylopectin cluster or branched amylose with maltogenic amylase for cleaving long side chain into short side chain and for transferring glucose to the side chain, generating highly branched amylopectin cluster, highly branched amylose or branched oligosaccharide from starch effectively.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for modification of microchannels of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchip, which includes the steps of: a) mixing an alkoxysilane precursor, an alkyl alkoxysilane precursor, and a solvent to prepare a sol-gel solution; b) oxidizing microchannels of the PDMS microchip; and c) coating the oxidized microchannels with the sol-gel solution prepared in step a). The PDMS microchip modified according to the method of the present invention shows higher hydrophilicity than an unmodified PDMS microchip. And, when the modified PDMS channels are filled with an organic solvent, channel swelling can be reduced, and thus various organic solvents can be used for the modified PDMS microchip compared to an unmodified PDMS microchip. Further, it can be widely applied for various fields because absorptivity of non-polar substances can be reduced.
