We investigated why aspen extractives are more resistant in kraft pulping than pine extractives. Residual extractives content in aspen kraft pulps were 0.5~1.1% compared with 0.1~0.2% in pine pulps. This different response arises from the different composition of extractives in wood chips. Resin acids in pine were almost completely removed in kraft pulping but those are not existence in aspen. Slower saponification of aspen steryl esters resulted from different chemical structure of aspen steryl esters. Main sterols in aspen steryl esters were 24-methyl cyclolanostenol which was highly resistant to alkaline hydrolysis with its characteristic steric hindrance. Sterols in aspen were not well removed in kraft pulping. The relative composition of sterol in aspen kraft pulps was increased with increasing pulping time. The presence of fatty acids in aspen kraft pulps is considered to unusual. Fatty acids in alkaline are supposed to be well ionized and removed well in the washing stage. Nevertheless, there were significant amount of fatty acids remaining in aspen kraft pulps.

The alkaline elastase is an extracellular serine protease of the alkalophilic Bacillus strain Ya-B. To increase the gene copy number and the production level of the alkaline elastase Ya-B, we designed, on the B. subtilis chromosome, a gene amplification of the 10.6 kb repeating unit containing amyE, aleE (alkaline elastase Ya-B gene) and tmrB. The aleE was inserted between amyE and tmrB, and B. subtilis APT119 strain was transformed with this amyE-aleE-tmrB-junction region fragment. As a result, we succeeded in obtaining tunicamycin-resistant (Tm$^{r}$) transformants (Tf-1, Tf-2) in which the designed gene amplification of 10.6 kb occurred in chromosome. The transformants showed high productivity of $\alpha $-amylase and alkaline elastase Ya-B. The copy number of the repeating unit (amyE-aleE-tmrB) was estimated to be 25, but plasmid vector (pUC19) was not integrated. The amplified aleE of chromosome was more stable than that of plasmid in absence of antibiotics.

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) in rabbit plasma was found to block completely phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity without affecting the alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity. Our results provided that (1) PTPase activity and inhibitor are separated after G-25 gel-filtration. (2) This inhibitor is heat stable and trypsin-resistant and it can be removed by dialysis using 3 Kd cut-off tubing. (3) The elution pattern of the inhibitor is identical to that of Pi, and by performing a seperate run with inorganic phosphate. (4) The PTPase activity was recovered following an incubation with $CaCl_2$ (10 mM).

A phytase from Aeromonas sp. LIK 1-5 was partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography. Its molecular weight was 44 kDa according to SDS-PAGE gel. Enzyme activity was optimal at pH 7 and at $50^{\circ}C$. The purified enzyme was strongly inhibited by 2 mM EDTA, $Zn^{2+},\;Co^{2+},\;or\;Mn^{2+}$, and activated by 2 mM $Ca^{2+}$. The K_m value for sodium phytate was 0.23 mM, and the enzyme was resistant to trypsin. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the phytase was similar to that of other known alkaline phytases. The phytase was specific for ATP and sodium phytate, which is different from other known alkaline phytases. Based on the substrate specificity, the phytase may therefore be a novel alkaline phytase.

계명활성제 내성이 있으면서 호알카리성인 protease를 생산하는 미생물을 토양에서 분리하였다. 분리된 미생물을 형태적, 생리학적, 화학분류학적 및 5S RNA 분석으로 동정한 결과 Bacillus sp.인 것으로 판명되었다. 호알카리성 protease는 황산암모늄 분획, DEAE-Cellulose, CM-Cellulose, Sephadex G-100 column chromatogrphy로 분리, 정제하였다. 정제된 호알카리성 protease는 casein에 대하여 pH6.0에서 11.0 사이에서 안정성을 나타내었다. 분리된 효소의 작용 최적 온도는 $55^{\circ}C$이었다. 이 효소는 diisopropyl fluorophosphate(DFP)로 완전히 불활성화되는 것으로 보아 serine protease로 추정되며 계면활성제의 존재하에서도 안정하였다.

Hypophosphatemia rickets는 비타민 D의 치료량에 내성을 갖기 때문에 Vitamin D-resistant rickets(VDRR)라고도 명명되며, 이는 요세관으로부터 무기질 인산의 재흡수가 감소됨으로써 혈청 칼슘농도는 정상이나 인산농도가 낮고 alkaline phosphatase가 약간 증가되기 때문에 쉽게 진단되는 구루병의 한 형태이다. 이러한 Hypophosphatemia rickets의 임상적인 소견으로 양다리가 휘는 것. 작은 키, 척추측만. 손목과 발목부위의 팽대가 나타나며 구강내 소견으로는 자발적인 치성농양의 높은 발생률, 맹출 지연, 근단공의 폐쇄지연, 얇고 저형성된 법랑질, 명확히 인지하기 힘든 치조백선, 확대된 치수강, 법랑상아경계까지 연장된 치수각 등이 있다. 본 증례는 유치의 상실과 그에 따른 치료를 위해 본원 소아과에서 의뢰된 비타민 D저항성 구루병 환아의 임상소견과 그 치과적 치료에 대해 보고하는 바이다.

GFRP 보강근은 콘크리트의 알칼리성분에 의해 손상 받을 수 있다. 본 논문은 이형 GFRP 보강근의 알칼리에 대한 내구성을 증진시키기 위한 방법에 대한 실험적 연구이다. 기존 개발된 이형 GFRP 보강근의 표면물질에 삽입되는 초단유리섬유는 콘크리트와의 부착성능을 향상시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 초단 알칼리저항섬유(AR-glass)와 E-glass 섬유를 표면이형의 구성물질로 활용하였을 때, 보강근의 내구성능에 미치는 영향을 흡습시험과 ISS 실험을 통하여 규명하고자 하였다. 혹독한 실내실험조건을 위하여 $40^{\circ}C$의 온도가 적용되었다. 실험결과, 표면성형을 위한 레진과의 합성물로써, E-glass와 AR-glass를 사용하였을 때, 내구성능에 큰 차이는 없는 것을 확인하였다. 오히려, 레진과 섬유의 혼합비가 작업성과 성형성에 영향을 미치고, 이것이 표면 이형부에 공극을 만들게 됨으로써, 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 장기적인 내구성능 확보를 위해서 혼입률의 결정에 주의를 기울여야 한다.

Regulation of alkaline-resistant laccase from Perenniporia tephropora KU-Alk4 was proved to be controlled by several factors. One important factor was the initial pH, which drove the fungus to produce different kinds of ligninolytic enzymes. P. tephropora KU-Alk4 could grow at pH 4.5, 7.0, and 8.0. The fungus produced laccase and MnP at pH 7.0, but only laccase at pH 8.0. The specific activity of laccase in the pH 8.0 culture was higher than that in the pH 7.0 culture. At pH 8.0, glucose was the best carbon source for laccase production but growth was better with lactose. Low concentrations of glucose at 0.1% to 1.0% enhanced laccase production, while concentrations over 1% gave contradictory results. Veratryl alcohol induced the production of laccase. A trace concentration of copper ions was required for laccase production. Biomass increased with an increasing rate of aeration of shaking flasks from 100 to 140 rpm; however, shaking at over 120 rpm decreased laccase quantity. Highest amount of laccase produced by KU-Alk4, 360 U/mL, was at pH 8.0 with 1% glucose and 0.2 mM copper sulfate, unshaken for the first 3 days, followed by addition of 0.85 mM veratryl alcohol and shaking at 120 rpm. The crude enzyme was significantly stable in alkaline pH 8.0~10.0 for 24 hr. After treating the pulp mill effluent with the KU-Alk4 system for 3 days, pH decreased from 9.6 to 6.8, with reduction of color and chemical oxygen demand at 83.2% and 81%, respectively. Laccase was detectable during the biotreatment process.

There is a difference in the inhibitory effects to supplemental UVB (wavelengths 280 to 320 nm) among Japanese rice (Oryza sativa L.), the cultivar Norin I is less resistant while the cultivar Sasanishiki is resistant. UVB induces photodamage in DNA. Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) is a major UV-induced DNA lesion. Photorepair, which is mediated by photolyase, is the major pathway in plants for repairing CPD. We have analyzed CPD induction and repair in Sasanishiki and its close relative Norin I using alkaline agarose gel electrophoresis. Norin I is deficient in CPD photoreactivation and excision, thus UV sensitivity correlates with deficient dimer repair [I]. The photorepair deficiency in Norin I results from a functionally altered photolyase with a photoflash analysis [2]. In this paper, we examined the UVB-sensitivity of several other UV-sensitive and -resistant cultivars and found that the CPD photolyase activity was deficient in UV-sensitive ones. It was also evident that there was a variation in the deduced amino acid sequences of CPD photolyases of the UV-sensitive and -resistant cultivars, whereas each deduced amino acid sequence of the UV-sensitive cultivars and of the UV-resistant ones was the same. These results suggest that the difference in the CPD photolyases of UV-sensitive and -resistant rice might be due to the structural alteration of CPD photolyase.
