$\gamma$-Glutamyl transpeptidase ($\gamma$-GTP; EC 2.3.2.2) present in the culture filtrate of Bacillus sp. KUN-17 was purified 400-fold through a consecutive procedure including organic precipitation and column chromatography. The enzyme has an estimated molecular weight of 70, 000 and consists of hetero-subunits with molecular weights of 42, 000 and 22, 000. In vitro optimal conditions for those transfer and hydrolysis reactions appeared to be pH 7.0 at $50^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.4 at $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. The denatured enzyme recovered most of its $\gamma$-GTP activity by removing detergents such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or urea with dialysis. The enzyme showed higher affinities against a number of amino acids as $\gamma$-glutamyl acceptors than glycylglycine in the following order: L-valine, L-methionine, L-glutamic acid or L-as-paragine, L-alanine. Also, it was shown that L-glutamine was the most suitable $\gamma$-glutamyl donor for the transfer reaction among those tested. Amino acids generally inhibited the enzyme activity for the transfer reaction, but not for the hydrolysis reaction.

Dideptidyl carboxypeptidases와 angiotenisn-coverting enzyme의 새로운 기질불질로서 thiol ester 인 S-Hippuryl thioglycolyl glycine을 합성하였으며, 이 기질에 의한 간편하고도 예민한 효소 활성도의 정량방법을 제시하였다. 이 경우 효소반응 생성물인 thioglycolyl glycine은 반응계중에 첨가한 5,5-dithio-bis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid), DTNB와 쉽게 반응하여 410nm에서 강한 흡광스펙트럼을 갖는 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid(${\varepsilon}M=1.36{\times}10^4$)을 형성함으로서 효소의 새로운 미량정량 방법으로 이용 가치가 크다고 본다.

가용성 전분으로부터 CGTase 효소에 의한 Cyclodextrin(CD) 동족체의 생산 실험을 dead-end형 막모듈을 설치한 막-효소 반응기에서 수행하였다. 회분 반응기에서의 CD 동족체 생산시 생산물 저해작용 및 생산된 CD의 다른 환원당으로의 분해에 의해 반응시간에 따른 전분의 CD 동족체로의 총 전환율이 최대 45%를 나타내었다가 급격히 감소하였다. 반면 분획분자량 10,000 달톤의 분리막이 설치된 막-효소 반응기에서의 CD 동족체 생산시 CD 동족체를 생산 즉시 반응기로부터 막을 통해 연속 분리할 수 있어 총 전환율이 35%로 일정하게 유지되었다. 10% 전분용액 및 2 atm 조작압력하에서 막-효소 반응기를 24시간 운전하였을 때 CD 동족체의 누적 생산량은 약 3.7 kg/m$^2$이었다.

An amperometric biosensor based on carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) for the determination of urea was constructed by enzyme (urease/GL-DH)-modified method. Urea was hydrolyzed to ${NH_4}^+$ by catalyzing urease onto the enzyme-modified electrode surface in sample solution. In the presence of ${\alpha}$-ketoglutarate and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NADH), a liberated ${NH_4}^+$ produce to L-glutamate and $NAD^+$ by Lglutamate dehydrogenase (GL-DH). After the chemical reaction was proceeded, the electrochemical reaction was occurred that an excess of the NADH was oxidized to $NAD^+$. The oxidation current of NADH was monitored at +1.10 volt vs. Ag/AgCl. An optimum conditions of biosensor were investigated: The optimum pH range for catalyzed hydrolysis reaction of urea was pH 7.0-7.4. The linear response range and detection limit were $2.0\;{\times}\;10^{-5}{\sim}2.0\;{\times}\;10^{-4}M\;and\;5.0\;{\times}\;10^{-6}M$, respectively. Another physiological species did not interfere, except L-ascorbic acid.

We investigated the tyrosinase inhibitory effect using whitening materials such as arbutin, ethyl ascorbyl ether, glabridin, kojic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate and ascorbic acid. Tyrosinase inhibition rate were determined varying the enzyme concentration, reaction time, reaction temperature and pH. The optimal conditions to measure the inhibitory efficacy were as follows. : enzyme concentration 1,500 or 2,000IU/mL, reaction time 15min(for the enzyme concentration 1,500 IU/mL) and l0min(for the enzyme concentration 2,000IU/mL), reation temperature 42$^{\circ}C$, pH 6.5. Under these conditions $IC_{50}$/ of arbutin, ethyl ascorbyl ether, glabridin, kojic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate and ascorbic acid were calculated. In the case of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, the inhibitory effect of tyrosinase was very low and the $IC_{50}$/ of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate could not be calculated. Other five materials showed good inhibitory effect of tyrosinase and can be used for the whitening materials.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae에서 얻은 purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP)의 반응 기작을 밝히기 위해 반응속도론적 분석이 수행되어졌다. 반응기작에 PNP${\cdot}$phosphate와 PNP${\cdot}$ribose 1-phosphate의 binary complex가 형성되는 것으로 추정되어진다. Initial velocity와 product inhibition study의 결과는 반응이 ordered bi, bi reaction으로 일어난다는 것과 일치하고 있다. 두 개의 기질중 무기인산이 효소에 먼저 붙고, 그 다음에 nucleoside, 그리고 base가 효소를 떠나는 첫 번째 생성물이고 마지막으로 ribose 1-phosphate가 생성되고 효소는 원래의 상태로 돌아간다. 반응속도론적 분석에 이해 제안된 작용기작은 sulfhydryl reagents인 p-chloromercuribenzoate(PCMB) and 5,5'-dithiobisnitrobenzoate (DTNB)에 의한 효소의 불활성화에 대한 기질으 보호작용의 결과와 일치하고 있다. PNP는 ribose 1-phosphate와 phosphate에 의해 보호되지만 nucleoside나 base에 의해서는 아무런 효과과 없다는 사실은 반응 순서가 효소에 무기인산이 먼저 붙는 ordered bi, bi 기작이라는 것을 지지하고 있다. PCMB 나 DTNB에 의해 불활성화된 PNP는 dithiothreitol(DTT)에 의해서는 활성이 완전히 회복되고 2-mercaptoethanol에 의해서는 77%의 활성이 회복된다는 사실은 효소의 불활성화가 가역적이라는 것을 시사하고 있다. PCMB에 의해 불활성화된 효소는 inosine이 변화하는 기질일때 정상효소보다 높은 $K_m$과 낮은 $V_m$ 값을 보여주고 이런 현상은 DTT 처리시 원래의 상태로 돌아온다. DTNB에 의해 불활성화된 효소는 PCMB 처리시와 비슷하게 정상효소보다 높은 $V_m$ 값을 보이지만 $V_m$ 값은 큰 변화가 없다. S. cerevisiae PNP에서 발견되는 높은 무기인산의 농도에서의 하위단위체간의 음성적 협동성이 PCMB나 DTNB를 처리한 PNP에서는 보이지 않았다.

Ile91 of restriction endonuclease EcoRV, which has not been known to take part directly in catalytic activity, was substituted with Leu by site-directed mutagenesis. The Ile91Leu mutant shows over 1000-fold less activity than the wild type EcoRV under standard reaction condition. The metal ion dependency of the reaction was altered. In contrast to the wild type EcoRV, the mutant prefers $Mn^{2+}$ to $Mn^{2+}$ as the cofactor. In $Mn^{2+}$ buffer the mutant is as active as the wild type enzyme in $Mn^{2+}$ buffer. Like the wild type enzyme, the mutant shows an unspecific binding of DNA in gel shift experiments. In contrast to the wild type enzyme, the mutant did not cleave at noncognate sites of DNA under star condition.

The kinetic constants and the reaction mechanism of the K228G mutant horse liver alcohol dehyrogenase isoenzyme E (HLADH-E) were compared to the wild-type enzyme. All the Km and Ki constants of the mutant enzyme for NAD+, ethanol, acetaldehyde and NADH were larger than those of the wild-type enzyme. The dissociation constants for the NADH and $NAD^{+}$ (Kiq and Kia) were greatly increased by 130-and 460-fold, respectively. The product inhibition patterns suggested that the reaction mechanism of the mutant enzyme was changed to Random Bi Bi. These results could attribute to the increase in the dissociation rate of coenzyme with the substitution at Lys-228 residue.

A method of dual-signal generation from two different enzymes was developed and utilized to simultaneously perform dual immunoassays in a single microwell. Two enzymes selected as tracers were horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and β-galactosidase (GAL). 3, 3', 5, 5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and chlorophenolred-β-galactopyranoside (CPRG) as chromogenic substrates for the respective enzyme were used. Although the two enzymes showed their maximum activities at distinct pH conditions (pH 5.1 for HRP and 7.5 for GAL), the enzyme reactions were able to be concurrently carried out at pH 5.75 in a dual-substrate solution without signal loss. This performance was achieved by increasing TMB concentration two-fold, introducing potassium salt as activator of GAL reaction, and extending total reaction time 50%. The signal generation method was then used for dual-enzyme immunoassays to detect antibodies with co-immobilized Hepatitis C virus antigens (core and NS5) and a Hepatitis B virus antigen (PreS(2)) in a microwell. Dose-response curves of the assays revealed cooperativity between different antigen-antibody complex formation, which suggested that dual immunoassays can only be used for qualitative screening tests unless the antigens immobilized were spatially separated.

Biodegradative threonine dehydratase purified from Serratia marcescens ATCC 25419 was inactivated by the arginine specific modification reagent, phenylglyoxal (PGO) and the lysine modification reagent, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). The inactivation by PGO was protected by L-threonine and L-serine. The second order rate constant for the inactivation of the enzyme by PGO was calculated to be 136 $M^{-1}min^{-1}$. The reaction order with respect to PGO was 0.83. The inactivation of the enzyme by PGO was reversed upon addition of excess hydroxylamine. The inactivation of the enzyme by PLP was protected by L-threonine, L-serine, and a-aminobutyrate. The second order rate constant for the inactivation of the enzyme by PLP was 157 $M^{-1}min^{-1}$ and the order of reaction with respect to PLP was 1.0. The inactivation of the enzyme by PLP was reversed upon addition of excess acetic anhydride. Other chemical modification reagents such as N-ethylmaleimide, 5,5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoate), iodoacetamide, sodium azide, phenylmethyl sulfonylfluoride and diethylpyrocarbonate had no effect on the enzyme activity. These results suggest that essential arginine and lysine residues may be located at or near the active site.
