Changes in pyrene binding by dissolved and kaolinite-associated humic substances (HS) due to HS adsorptive fractionation processes were examined using purified Aldrich humic acid (PAHA) at different pH (4, 7 and 9). Irrespective of solution pH, molecular weight (MW) fractionation occurred upon adsorption of PAHA onto kaolinite, resulting in the deviation of residual PAHA MW from the original MW prior to sorption. Variation in $K_{OC}$ by bulk PAHA was observed at different pH due to relative contributions of partitioning and size exclusion effects (i.e., specific interactions). For all pH conditions investigated, carbon-normalized pyrene binding coefficients for nonadsorbed, residual fractions $(K_{OC}(res))$ were different from the original dissolved PAHA $K_{OC}$ value $(K_{OC}(orig))$ prior to contact with the kaolinite suspensions. Positive correlations between pyrene $(K_{OC}(res))$ and weight-average molecular weight $(MW_W)$ for residual PAHA fractions were observed for pH 7 and 9. However, such a positive correlation was not found at pH 4 due to the absence of the dramatic fractionation observed for high pH conditions (i.e., exclusive fractionation with respect to higher MW), suggesting that actual MW distribution pattern is more important for sorption-fractionated HS than the composite MW value. For adsorbed PAHA, conformational changes of PAHA upon adsorption seem to be important for the extent of pyrene binding. At relatively high pH (7 and 9), lower extent of pyrene binding was observed for adsorbed PAHA versus nonadsorbed PAHA. The conformation effects were more pronounced at higher pH.

The crude polysaccharide fraction from fruit body of Auricularia auricula were obtained by using hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation. As the crude polysaccharide fraction contained the brownish dark colored compounds, the adsorption study of pigments from the crude polysaccharide using activated carbon was carried out. The pigment compounds showed an absorption characteristic with $\lambda_{max}$ of 230 nm and the absorbance at 230 nm was taken as color intensity. Adsorption capacity of pigment depended on increase of the activated carbon to sample loading ratio. The adsorption capacity increased with increase of pH and temperature in the pH range of 3.0-7.0 and temperature range of 25-40$^{\circ}C$, but decreased in the temperature range of 40-70$^{\circ}C$. The optimum capacity was obtained at addition of 16.7 mg activated carbon per mL sample solution (concentration = 3 mg/mL) at pH of 7.0 and temperature of 40$^{\circ}C$. Treatment for 10 min was sufficient to achieve the 80% decolorization and 1.25 fold purification of polysaccharide. Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second-order kinetic model provided the best fitting for adsorption of the brownish dark colored compounds onto powdered active carbon. The activation energies of adsorption from the Langmuir isotherm parameter in the ranges of 25-40$^{\circ}C$ and 40-70$^{\circ}C$ was -2.54 and 4.38 kcal/g, respectively. The results of low activation energy also indicated that the adsorption process was a physical adsorption which was controlled by diffnsion.

막분리공정에서 분리막 오염은 투과율 감소에 큰 영향을 받는데 그 이유는 주로 막재질의 변질 및 막 표면에서의 농도 분극 현상에 기인하고 분리막의 종류 및 분획분자량의 차이에 따라 막분리 능력이 달라질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 상용화되어 있는 UF/MF 중공사막에 미치는 막오염 정도와 세정 특성을 알아보았다. 막오염 정도는 막의 Pore size, 소재, 막구조에 따라서 단백질 수용액을 처리하여 막의 오염이 어떻게 일어나는지를 알아보았고 막오염 정도를 검토하기 위하여 초기순수에 대한 흡착후 투과량을 DOF(Degree of fouling)로 정의하였다. 막의 세정특성은 0.1N-NaOH을 사용하여 화학적 세정효과를 확인하였고 초기 순수에 대한 세정후 회복정도를 DOC(Degree of Cleaning)로 정의하였다. 또한 UF막에서 분획분자량별 특성과 MF막에서 소재별/구조적 특성이 DOF와 DOC에 미치는 영향에 대해서 알아보았다.

The technical feasibility of removing cholesterol from milk fat by supercritical carbon dioxide $(SC-CO_2)$ extraction followed by adsorption on different adsorbents and of fractionating milk fat into different fatty acid composition at $40^{\circ}C/276$ bar was investigated. Cholesterol could be selectively removed from milk fat by adsorption on a typical commercial florisil with $SC-CO_2$ extraction. Lower weight ratio of milk fat feed to florisil showed higher reduction of cholesterol, but gave lower yield in the milk fat fractions. The effective capacity of florisil for removing cholesterol from milk fat was 2.0g/g, which is the ratio of the fat feed to the adsorbent for 89% cholesterol reduction with a fat yield of 57.5%. Fatty acid composition showed higher short-chain and lower unsaturated long-chain fatty acids in the extracted fractions. Milk fat fractionation method by supercritical fluid extraction in coupled with adsorption would appear suitable for removing undesirable ingredients such as cholesterol and for enriching short-chain fatty acids in the fractions.

The objective of this study was to examine the immune-enhancing effects of polysaccharides isolated from Phellinus linteus mycelium on Mori ramulus. Crude polysaccharides were isolated by pressurized extraction ($121^{\circ}C$, $1.2kgf/cm^2$, 3 h), ethanol precipitation, and lyophilization. In addition, crude polysaccharides were further fractionated into unabsorbed fractions (PF-1, fraction No. 3~15) and absorbed fractions (PF-2, fraction No. 24~33) by DEAE-sepharose CL-6B column chromatography in order to isolate immune-regulating polysaccharides. The major constituents in PF-1 and PF-2 were total sugar (75.51% and 52.38%), total protein (1.63% and 8.41%), uronic acid (17.53% and 15.04%), and ${\beta}-glucan$ (28.33% and 25.04%), respectively. PF-1 increased production of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha ($TNF-{\alpha}$) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in a dose-dependent manner. The mRNA expression levels of inducible NO synthetase, cyclooxygenase-2, $TNF-{\alpha}$, and IL-6 markedly increased as determined by polymerase chain reaction analysis. The above data led us to conclude that macrophage activation of purified polysaccharides was higher than that of crude polysaccharides. The polysaccharides isolated from P. linteus mycelium on M. ramulus investigated herein are useful as natural immune-enhancing agents.

포유동물의 암컷 생식기관에 존재하는 다양한 종류의 matrix metallo-proteinase (MMP)는 난소와 자궁의 구성성분의 주기적인 변화를 조절하며 이중 난소의 MMP는 난포의 성장과 배란 그리고 퇴화 동안 조직재구성에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있다. 본 실험에서는 근래에 새로 발견된 사람의 난포액에 존재하는 분자량 약 110kDa인 MMP-2 isoform GA110을 동정하고 자 하였다. 난포액으로부터 GA110 단백질을 분리하기 위하여 난포액에 5mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA)를 처리한 후 DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow를 이용한 chromatography를 시행하였다. 그 결과, 난포액 단백질들은 0.2M NaCl 의 분획에서 GA110 활성을 나타내었고 anti-human MMP-2 antibody에 대한 면역반응도 뚜렷이 나타났다. DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow에서 얻은 분획 중 GA110의 활성과 면역반응을 모두 나타내는 분획만을 모아 Gelatin Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography로 다시 분리하였다 분리한 결과 resin에 흡착된 단백질 (eluate) 분획들에서 매우 뚜렷한 GA110 gelatinase 활성을 나타내었으며 면역반응 또한 관찰되었다. 이 분획들의 단백질을 농축한 후 zymography를 시행하여 나타난 GA110 단백질 band를 잘라 내었으며 이로부터 단백질을 electroelution하여 농축한 후 reducing agent인 2-mercaptoethanol를 처리하였다. 이를 전기영동 후 MMP-2 (propeptide region) antibody를 사용하여 immunoblotting 한 결과 70-72kDa의 단백질만이 면역반응을 나타내었다. 마지막으로 위와 같이 준비된 70-72kDa 단백질의 아미노산 서열을 Edman degradation 방법으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 이 단백질의 N 말단의 10개의 아미노산 배열 순서가 알려진 사람의 proMMP-2의 전체 배열순서 중 propetide domain의 N 말단에서부터 다섯 번째에서 시작하여 10개의 아미노산의 서열과 정확하게 일치하였다. 위 결과들로 미루어 사람의 난포액에 존재하는 MMP-2의 새로운 isoform인 GA110은 70-72kDa의 ProMMP-2가 disulfide bond를 통해 homodimer 구조를 이루고 있는 것으로 여겨진다.

The culture filtrate of thermophilic alkalophilic Bacillus K17 strain contained two types of xylanases were purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAD-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography, CM-Sephadex C-50 column chromatography and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The purified enzymes were found to be homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate and disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Xylanase I and II were characterized with respect to molecular weight, optimal temperature and pH, thermal and pH stability, and Michaelis constant. Xylanase II was more active and stable, and showed greater substrate affinity and molecular weight than xylanase I. The activities of xylanases I and II were inhibited by Cu$^{++}$, Ag$^+$, Hg$^{++}$ and Fe$^{++}$. Xylanase I hydrolyzed xylan to yield xylobiose and higher amount of xylooligosaccharides, but xylanase II produced xylose other than xylobiose and xylooligosacchrides.

In order to investigate the contamination characteristics of the heavy metals in the mine tailings of abandoned gold mine and its surrounding agricultural soils, a sequential extraction procedure of increasing reactivity in the dissolution processes of the heavy metals(Cd, Cu, and Pb) which were associated with solid and/or solution phase in soils was attempted to partition into six particulate fractions : exchangeable, bound to carbonate, bound to Fe-Mn oxides, bound to organic matter, residual, and soluble. Among indigenous heavy metals in the mine tailings, Pb was the most abundant and Cu and Cd were followed by. Fractionation result of Pb obtained from the triplicate samples of the mine tailings were in the order of Fe-Mn oxide> Carbonate> Residual> Organic> Exchangeable> Soluble, while Wolgok series were Exchangeable > Fe-Mn oxide > Carbonate> Organic> Residual> Soluable. However the other heavy metals studied were not followed this trend. The fractionation results of mine tailing and agricultural soils demonstrated that different geochemical fractions were operationally defined by an extraction sequence that generally followed the order of decreasing solubility. Therefore potential mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals as toxic pollution sources can be evaluated when studying the pollution levels of heavy metals in soils.
