Objectives : Kyenegum has been popularly used long as the digestive. The purpose of this study was to investigate the purification and characteristics of protease obtained from Kyenegum crude enzyme. Methods : Kyenegum protease was purified by precipitation with ammonium sulfate followed by SP-Spharose ion exchange chromatography. The molecular weight of Kyenegum protease was estimated by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Results : Kyenegum protease was 3,087 units/mg protein specific activity, 14.5 purification fold and 9.8 % recovery. The molecular weight of protease was estimated to be 18 kDa. The isoelectric point was pI 8.97 and values of Km and Vmax of its were 48 mg/mL and 2 units/min, respectively. Conclusion : The result suggests that the protease obtained from Kyenegum has excellent stability of temperature, acid and collagen substrate specificity.

Amylase is a digestive enzyme that catalyses the starch into sugar. It has been reported that the green tea flavonoid (or polyphenols) (-)-epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) inhibits human salivary ${\alpha}$-amylase (HSA) and induced anti-nutritional effects. In this study, we performed docking study for seven EGCG-like flavonoids and HSA to understand the interaction mechanism of HSA and EGCG and suggest new possible flavonoid inhibitors of HSA. As a result, EGCG and (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG) bind to HSA with complex hydrogen bonding interactions. These hydrogen bonding interactions are important for inhibitory activity of EGCG against HSA. We suggested that ECG can be a potent inhibitor of HSA. This study will be helpful to understand the mechanism of inhibition of HSA by EGCG and give insights to develop therapeutic strategies against diabetes.

Angiogenin is unique among angiogenic molecules in that it is a member of the pancreatic ribonuclease superfamily and, in fact, is a ribonucleolytic enzyme. Its enzymatic activity is extremely weak compared to that of the digestive RNases but is critical for its capacity to induce neovascularization. In this study, we completed the backbone resonance assignment of bovine angiogenin using triple resonance NMR experiments of $^{15}N\;and/or\;^{13}C$ isotope labeled protein and investigated the chemical shift variation upon binding with inhibitor phosphate ion and determine the phosphate binding site.

본 연구는 Paracyclopina nana의 먹이생물로써의 우수성을 핵산과 소화효소 활성을 기준으로 넙치 Paralichthys olivaceus 자어를 대상으로 밝히기 위한 것이었다. 실험은 P. nana 단독구(C 실험구), Artemia nauplii 단독구(A 실험구) 그리고 혼합구(M 실험구)로 나누어서 실시하였다. 넙치 자어의 체장은 부화 28일째, P. nana 단독 공급구에서 높게 나타났다. 건조중량당 핵산 함량은 C, M 실험구에서 A 실험구보다 함량이 빠르게 증가하였으며, RNA/DNA ratio는 C 실험구가 M, A 실험구보다 감소 경향이 빨랐다. 이들 자어의 생존률은 실험구에 따른 차이는 없었지만, 비색소침착률은 C, M 실험구에서 낮게 나타났으며, 실험 종료 시 변태율은 C 실험구에서 가장 높게 나타났고, A 실험구에서 유의적으로 가장 낮게 나타났다. $\alpha$-amylase 활성은 모든 실험구에서 증가하는 활성의 경향을 보였다. TAP 활성은 A 실험구에서 26일째 이후 9 mU/larva의 활성으로 높게 나타났으나, 다른 실험구에서는 $5{\sim}6$ mU/larva로 증가하지 않았다. $TAP/{\alpha}-amylase$ 활성의 비에서 A 실험구는 실험기간 동안 유의적으로 변화가 없었으나, C, M 실험구는 유의적으로 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 결과적으로 실험구들의 성장, 핵산 함량의 변태와 관련된 시기적 증감 현상, 그리고 C, M 실험구에서 지속적으로 낮아지는 $TAP/{\alpha}-amylase$ 활성비를 보았을 때, 넙치 자어의 가장 높은 성장률을 볼 수 있었던 요각류인 P. nana를 공급하는 것이 이 시기의 효과적인 사육 방법인 것으로 판단된다.

Exposure indices are important tools which enable scientists to reliably predict and detect exposures to xenobiotics and resultant cell injury. Since the de novo synthesis of stress proteins can be detected early after exposure to some agents, analysis of toxicant-induced changes in gene expression, i.e. alterations in patterns of protein synthesis, may be useful to develop as biomarkers of exposure and toxicity. The acute and chronic effects of cadmium(Cd, $CdCl_2$ 20 mg/kg) on Wistar male rats were evaluated concerning cadmium contents, tissues enzyme activity, HSP expression. The results of the study were as follows: 1. Less cadmium was absorbed through the digestive tracts, but the ratio of contents in renal to hepatic cadmium was higher at 8 weeks after treatment. 2. ALT(alanine aminotransferase), AST(aspartate aminotransferase), glucose, BUN(blood urea nitrogen), creatinine, the key indices of the clinical changes in hepatic and renal function were significantly changed by the cadmium treatment after 1 week in liver, after 4 weeks in kidney. 3. Enhanced synthesis of 70 KDa relative molecular mass proteins were detected in 2 hours after cadmium exposure, with maximum activity occurring at 8~48 hours. Induction of $HSP_{70}$ was evident at proximal tubules and glomeruli in kidney. Testicular cells produced enough HSP to be detected normally. From the above results, it could be concluded that $HSP_{70}$ induction by the cadmium treatment was a rapid reaction to indicate the exposure of xenobiotics.

Two dietary experiments were performed to evaluate the impact of the herb Mentha piperita as a dietary supplement on Catla catla. In Experiment 1, fingerlings (0.45-2.60 g) were fed on diets supplemented with M. piperita at different levels (P1, P2, P3, and P4 at 2, 4, 6, and $8g\;Kg^{-1}$ of feed) and C1 served as the control with no peppermint supplementation. In Experiment 2, fingerlings (0.40-3.15 g) were fed with diets containing autochthonous probiotic bacteria Bacillus coagulans (3000 colony forming unit $g^{-1}$) along with M. piperita (PP1-PP4 at 2, 4, 6, and $8g\;Kg^{-1}$ of feed) and feed C2 served as control containing probiotics but no peppermint. Significantly (P < 0.05) high values of growth parameters, digestive enzyme activities, low reed conservation ratio, low excretion of ammonia, and orthophosphates were observed in fingerlings fed with P3 for Experiment 1 and PP3 for Experiment 2. Hematological counts, phagocytic activity, and respiratory burst activity were also enhanced in fingerlings fed with M. piperita supplementation revealing that dietary administration of peppermint at optimum level can enhance the growth, digestibility, and immunity of C. catla fingerlings; however, incorporation of B. coagulans showed better growth and immunity revealing that synergistic effects of M. piperita and autochthonous probiotic in C. catla diets can lead to its sustainable aquaculture.

Peptides with bioactive effects are being researched for various purposes. However, there is a lack of overall research on pork-derived peptides. In this study, we reviewed the process of obtaining bioactive peptides, available analytical methods, and the study of bioactive peptides derived from pork. Pepsin and trypsin, two representative protein digestive enzymes in the body, are hydrolyzed by other cofactors to produce peptides. Bicinchoninic acid assay, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, chromatography, and in vitro digestion simulation systems are utilized to analyze bioactive peptides for protein digestibility and molecular weight distribution. Pork-derived peptides mainly exhibit antioxidant and antihypertensive activities. The antioxidant activity of bioactive peptides increases the accessibility of amino acid residues by disrupting the three-dimensional structure of proteins, affecting free radical scavenging, reactive oxygen species inactivation, and metal ion chelating. In addition, the antihypertensive activity decreases angiotensin II production by inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme and suppresses blood pressure by blocking the AT1 receptor. Pork-derived bioactive peptides, primarily obtained using papain and pepsin, exhibit significant antioxidant and antihypertensive activities, with most having low molecular weights below 1 kDa. This study may aid in the future development of bioactive peptides and serve as a valuable reference for pork-derived peptides.
