In 1968 total 94,660 mc of radioactive iodocompound were prepared and distributed to the urers. In order to obtain an effective liver scanning In-113 m colloidal of even particle size from a $^{113}Sn-^{113m}In$ cow, the eluate(pH; 1.5) was examined by a radio paper partition chromatography. It was found that the eluate was composed of two components, ionic form and colloidal form. The ionid form could be eliminated by cation exchange resine and the eluate from the ion exchange resine was of even particle size to give an excellent liver scanning result. Labelling of $^{113m}In$ to human serum albumine was attempted.

Our previous study showed that the overexpression of carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Escherichia coli resulted in the formation of insoluble inclusion bodies. To produce soluble CPY, we designed a novel Pichia pastoris expression system, in which the following were inserted into expression vectors: three different signal sequences derived from the mating factor a1 of S. cerevisiae, an inulinase of Kluyveromyces marxianus, and the endogenous signal sequence of CPY. The expression vector pHIL-D2-SSinul-proCPY was the most effective in the production of proCPY among the vectors examined. The purified active CPY was obtained from proCPY by treating with proteinase K, followed by QExcellose ion-exchange column chromatography.

An ectodomain of gp41, the transmembrane fusion protein of HIV, without the fusion peptide region was expressed using pET system in E. coli. The expressed protein gp41core, was isolated as inclusion body and was purified by ion-exchange chromatography after solubilized in 6M urea. The purified denatured protein was renaturated and the folded domain of gp41core was identified by the presence of the proteolysis resistence domain and a high content of ${\alpha}$-helical secondary structure.

Thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) was conducted in autoclave on the system of crude oil and $MgSO_4$ at different temperatures. Gas chromatography pulsed flame photometric detector (GC-PFPD) was used to detected the composition of organic sulfur compounds in oil phase products. The results of the analysis indicate that with increased temperature, the contents of organic sulfur compounds with high molecular weight and thermal stability, such as benzothiophenes and dibenzothiophenes, gradually became dominated. In order to gain greater insight into the formation and distribution of organic sulphur compounds from TSR, positive ion electrospray Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) was used in detecting the detailed elemental composition and distribution of them. The mass spectra showed that the mass range of sulfur compounds was 200-550 Da. Four sulfur class species, $S_1$, $N_1S_1$, $O_1S_1$ and $O_2S_1$, were assigned in the positive-ion spectrum. Among the identified sulfur compounds, the $S_1$ class species was dominant. The most abundant $S_1$ class species increase associated with the DBE value and carbon number increasing which also indicates the evolution of organic sulfur compounds in TSR is from the labile series to the stable one. In pure blank pyrolysis experiments with crude oil cracking without TSR, different composition and distribution of organic sulfur compounds in oil phase products were seen from mass spectra in order to evaluate their pyrolysis behaviors without $MgSO_4$. FT-IR and XRD were used in analyzing the products of solid phases. Two distinct crystallographic phases MgO and $MgSO_4$ are found to coexist in the products which demonstrated the transformation of inorganic sulfur compounds into organosulfur compounds exist in TSR.

Gas chromatography serves to separate the mixtures into its components, and mass spectrometer is used to analyzing of unknown compounds. But there are many problems the identification of horn compounds using by GC only. As this reason GC/MS a very powerful analyzing technique. Mass spectrometer consists of 1) inlet stem 2) ion source 3) Bass filter 4) detectors and 5) data system. There are two analyzing modes in the GC/MS, those are scan and SIM(selected ion mom toping) modes. Scan mode is used when analyzing unknown compounds and SIM mode al lows the mass spectrometer to detect specific compound with very high sensitivity. As GC/MS applications for the analysis of cosmetic products, volatile compounds in lotion, earn foundation and hair color, and carbon distribution of fatty acids in soap were performed. Also as a new sample pre-treatment technique, head space sampler/GC/MS introduced in order to analyze the volatile compounds in a toothpaste.

One of the major objectives of the food industry is the enrichment of the functional properties and nutritional value of soybean protein. To attain this goal, an expression system of cDNA encoding native and protein-engineered soybean proteins in a microorganism must be developed and the function then ability of self-assembly and the functionalities of the expressed proteins should be evaluated before the modified genes are transfered to soybean plants. The pro-$\beta$-conglycinin synthesized in E. coli BL21(DE3) comprised approximately 20% of the total bacterial proteins and the expressed protein are formed soluble and trimer such as native protein in E. coli cells. The highly expressed protein was purified to homogeneity by salt precipitation with 20~40$ Ammonium sulfate ion-exchange chromatography with Q-Sepharose and hydrophobic column chromatography with Butyltoyopearl. Therefore, we concluded that the high-level expression system of $\beta$-conglycinin cDNA was established and a relatively simple and rapid method for purifying pro-$\beta$-conglicinin was also developed.

The host defense system or immune system of all modern animals has their roots in very ancient organisms. After analyzing literature data concerning properties of invertebrates and vertebrates lectins we suggest that mechanism of mannans recognition may exist in marine invertebrates, as a universal mechanism for homeostasis maintenance and host defense, and mannan-binding lectins family of vertebrates has ancient precursor, as was shown for another S-type lectins family. We carried out the screening of mannan-binding type lectin among different species of echinoderms inhabiting in Piter the Grate Bay, the sea of Japan. As a result, the C-type lectins (SJL-32) specific for high mannose glycans was isolated from the coelomic plasma of the sea cucumbers Stichopus japonicus by ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Toyopearl 650M, affinity chromatography on a mannan-Sepharose 6B and gel filtration on a Sephacryl S-200. SJL-32 is homodimer with molecular mass about 32 kDa on SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions. Protein part of the lectin has high conteins Asn, Glu, Ser. Hemagglutination of trypsin-treated O blood group human erythrocytes by SJL-32 was competitively inhibited by high-branched -D-mannan composed of -1,2 and -1,6 linked D-mannopyranose residues. In contrast, a variety of mono-, oligo-, and polysaccharides composed of residues of galactose and fucose showed absence or little inhibitory activities. The lectin activity strong depends on Ca2+ concentration, temperature and pH. Monospecific polyclonal antibodies were obtained to the lectin. As was shown by ELISA assay, antibodies to SJL-32 cross-reacted with human serum mannan-binding lectin. This data allows making conclusion about common antigenic determinants and structural homology of both lectins. In our opinion, SJL-32 belongs to evolutionary high conservative mannan-binding lectins (MBLs) family and takes part in the host defense against pathogenic microorganisms.

In this study, home-made detection system by means of noble FIA is introduced on the measurement of toxic nitrite in the water samples collected from the area of Kwangju. As the standard calibration between 30 to 1000 ppb, the linearity has been shown more than 0.9999 as the correlation coefficient($R^2$) with the detection limit 1.5 ppb(S/N>2). The distribution of sample concentration was monitored as N.D. - 123 ppb which is wide span of concentrations in field water samples. The low level of nitrite is hardly detectable with other expensive sophisticated instruments including ion chromatography. Whereas the result of high concentration brings forth the necessity monitoring constantly our precious water resources. Successfully, the FIA system has played a very important role detecting wide span of nitrite in water sample. This technique can be adopted for controlling our environment in the near future.

The attractive features of photosynthetic reaction center proteins for energy application make them useful in solar energy conversion to hydrogen fuel or electrical energy. Almost unity charge separation quantum yield and its rapid speed of ~1ns, absorbance region in visible light (480~740 nm) and high proportion of photosynthetically active solar energy of 48.5% allowed photosystem1 to exploited as a bio-material for photo-energy devices. Directionality of photosystem1 in electron transfer can solve main problem in two-step water splitting process where back reaction deteriorates the overall efficiency. In the study, photosystem1 was extracted from spinach and the photo-induced excited electron in the reaction center was utilized in various field of light energy application. First, hydrogen evolving system realized by photodeposition of platinum at the end of the electron transfer chain, with combining specific semiconductor to oxidize water in the first step of Z-scheme. The evaluation by gas-chromatography demonstrated hydrogen evolution through the system. For the further application of photoelectrical material on electrode, photosystem1 have been controlled by copper ion, which is expected to assemble photosystem in specific orientation followed by maximized photoelectrical ability of film. The research proposed concrete methods for combining natural protein and artificial materials in one system and suggested possibility of designing interface between biological and inorganic materials.
