The effects of temperature heating-up rate and pressure building-up phase on the inactivation of Listeria innocua ATCC 33090 were evaluated in buffered peptone water. The number of L. innocua was reduced by 5.57 and 6.52 log CFU/mL during the nonisothermal treatment (the come-up time followed by isothermal process) and the isothermal treatment, respectively, at $60^{\circ}C$. When compared to the isothermal treatment (0.76$33.2^{\circ}C/min$ of temperature heating-rate. The effect of the combined high pressure and thermal processing on the inactivation of L. innocua increased with increasing pressure and temperature. At all temperature levels from 40 to $60^{\circ}C$ under 700 MPa, L. innocua was not detected by enrichment culture (>7 log reduction).

The kinetics of thermal inactivation of copper-containing amine oxidase from lentil seedlings were studied in a 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7, using putrescine as the substrate. The temperature range was between $47-60^{\circ}C$. The thermal inactivation curves were not linear at 52 and $57^{\circ}C$; three linear phases were shown. The first phase gave some information about the number of dimeric forms of the enzyme that were induced by the higher temperatures using the "conformational lock" pertaining theory to oligomeric enzyme. The "conformational lock" caused two additional dimeric forms of the enzyme when the temperature increased to $57^{\circ}C$. The second and third phases were interpreted according to a dissociative thermal inactivation model. These phases showed that lentil amine oxidase was reversibly-dissociated before the irreversible thermal inactivation. Although lentil amine oxidase is not a thermostable enzyme, its dimeric structure can form "conformational lock," conferring a structural tolerance to the enzyme against heat stress.

FMN-dependent glycolate oxidase from spinach is inactivated by diethyl pyrocarbonate at pH 7.0. Inactivation of both apo- and holoenzyme by diethyl pyrocarbonate follows pseudo-first-order kinetics and first order with respect to the reagent. A series of difference spectra of inactivated and native enzymes show a single peak at 240 nm, indicating the modification of histidyl residues. No decrease in absorbance at around 280 nm due to formation of O-carbethoxytyrosine is observed. The rate of inactivation is dependent on pH, and the data for pH dependent rates implicate the involvement of a group with a pKa of 6.9. The activity lost by treatment with diethyl pyrocarbonate could be almost fully restored by incubation with 0.75M hydroxylamine. The reactivation by hydroxylamine and the pH dependence of inactivation are also consistent with that the inactivation is due to modification of histidyl residues. Although coenzyme FMN is without protective effect, the substrate glycolate, the product glyoxylate, and two competitive inhibitors, oxalate and oxalacetate, provide marked protection against the inactivation of the holoenzyme. These results suggest that the inactivation of the oxidase by diethyl pyrocarbonate occurs by modification of essential histidyl residue(s) at the active site.

Bacillus alcalophilus AX2000으로부터 xylanase를 정제한 후 효소의 활성부위를 조사하기 위하여 여러 가지 화학수식제를 사용하여 효소활성의 저해도를 측정하였다. 여러 가지 화학 수식제 중에서 carbodiimide와 N-bromosuccinimide가 효소 활성을 완전히 저해시켜 glutamic acid또는 aspartic acid 잔기와 tryptophan 잔기가 효소의 활성부위에 관여하리라 추측되었다. 각각의 경우에 효소 실활은 수식제의 첨가농도에 따라 pseudo first-order kinetics 양식을 보여주었으며, carbodiimide와 N-bromosuccinimide는 각각 비경쟁적 저해와 경쟁적 저해방식을 나타내었다. 기질첨가에 의한 효소활성 보호실험을 통하여 tryptophan 잔기가 기질결합부위라 판단 되었다. 효소 실활속도의 분석에 의해 효소활성에는 2개의 glutamic acid 또는 aspartic acid 잔기와 1개의 tryptophan 잔기가 관여하는 것으로 나타났다.

The heat tolerance and the inactivation kinetics of peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in pineapples (Ananas comosus) were studied in the temperature range $45-95^{\circ}C$. The kinetic parameters, such as deactivation rate constant (k), activation energy ($E_a$), and decimal reduction rate (D) of the thermal inactivation process, were determined. POD in pineapples showed biphasic inactivation behavior at temperatures range $45-75^{\circ}C$ but was monophasic at $85-95^{\circ}C$. This indicate that POD has 2 isozymes, namely heat labile and heat resistant, with $E_a$ of 68.79 and 93.23 kJ/mol, respectively. On the other hand, the heat denaturation of pineapple PPO could be described as simple monophasic first-order behavior with $E_a$ of 80.15 kJ/mol. Thus, the results of this study is useful in blanching technology where it shows a shortened time with higher temperature can be applied. The determination of the heat tolerance and inactivation POD and PPO, at different temperature range as done in the present work, was very important to improve the blanching process. This also will help to optimize the pineapple canning process which is one of the most important food industries in many tropical regions.

Succinic semialdehyde reductase, one of key enzyme of GABA shunt in CNS, is inactivated by o-phthalaldehyde, The inactivation followed pseudo first-order kinetics, and the second-order rate constant for the inactivation process was 28 M$\^$-1/s$\^$-1/ at pH 7.4 and 25$^{\circ}C$. The absorption spectrum(λ$\_$max/=377nm), fluorescence exitation(λ$\_$max/=340nm) and fluorescence emission spectra (λ$\_$max/=409nm) were consistent with the formation of an isoindole derivative in the catalytic site between a cysteine and a lysine residues about 3${\AA}$ apart. The substrate, succinic semialdehyde, did not protect the enzymatic activity against inactivation, whereas the coenzyme, NADPH, protected against o-phthalaldehyde induced inactivation of the enzyme. About 1 isoindole group per moi of the enzyme was formed following complete loss of the enzymatic activity. These results suggest that the amino acid residues of the enzyme participating in reaction with o-phthalaldehyde more likely residues at or near the coenzyme binding site.

Tyichoderma viride가 생산하는 cellobiohydrolase의 열불활화 특성을 잔류효소역가 측정방법과 면역학적 정량방법으로 측정하였다. 정제된 cellobiohydrolase의 열불활 곡선은 Arrhenius plots에서 직선관계를 가졌고 이 때의 Z-값은 carboxymethyl cellulase의 정량시 5.2$^{\circ}C$, filter pa per degradation activity 정량시 6.4$^{\circ}C$, Immunoassay시 5.8$^{\circ}C$로 각기 나타났다. 열역학 상수 산출시는 immunoassay 와 filter paper degradation activity 측정이 carboxymethyl cellulase의 역가 측정보다 잘 일치하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The Arabidopsis thaliana S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) cDNA ($GenBank^{TM}$ U63633) was cloned, then the AdoMetDC protein was expressed and purified. The purified AdoMetDC was inactivated by salicylaldehyde in a pseudo first- order kinetics. The secondorder rate constant for inactivation was 126 $M^{-1}min^{-1}$ with the slope of n=0.73, suggesting that inactivation is the result of the reaction of one lysine residue in the active site of AdoMetDC. Site-specific mutagenesis was performed on the AdoMetDC to introduce mutations in conserved $lysine^{81}$ residues. These were chosen by examination of the conserved sequence and proved to be involved in enzymatic activity by chemical modification. Changing $Lys^{81}$ to alanine showed an altered optimal pH. The substrate also provided protection against inactivation by salicylaldehyde. Considering these results, we suggest that the $lysine^{81}$ residue may be involved in catalytic activity.

The natural product, spirostanol glycoside dioscin, was shown to directly inactivate human pleural fluid phospholipase $A_2{\;}(PLA_2)$ Inactivation was dose, and time dependent. The $IC_{50}$ was estimated at 18 .mu.M and virtually complete inactivation of the enzyme occurred at 50 .mu.M. Using Michaelis-Menten kinetics, dioscin inactivated the enzyme by a competitive inhibitory manner, the apparent Ki value was $6.9{\times}10_{-4}$. Reversibility was studied directly by dialysis method, the inhibition was reversible. Additioin of excess $Ca^{2+}$ concentration up to 8 mM did not antagonize the inhibitory activity of dioscin. Inactivation of several kinds of $PLA_2$ by dioscin is due to interaction with the active site of $PLA_2$ and may be a useful adjunt in the theraphy of inflammatory diseases.
