1-Deoxynojirimycin which is a potent intestinal ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor was purified from the culture broth by ion exchange chromatography, Sephadex LH20 column chromatography, TSK gel chromatography and HPLC respectively. Acute toxicity of 1-deoxynojirimycin, which was loaded through the oral as dose of 200mg/kg, was investigated in IRC mouse. None of the tested IRC mice were not dead and increase of body weight showed also the same results in comparison with control mice. The antimicrobial susceptibility of 20 pathogenic strains against 3 antidiabetic compounds (1-deoxynojirimycin, AO-128, acarbose) were obtained by agar dilution method. All of the three antidiabetic compounds has very weak antimicrobial activity (MIC>100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml).

We aim to develop a simple method for simultaneous and quantitative determination of benzoic acid, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid in seeds of Eriobotrya japonica. In addition, antibacterial effect of these three phenolic acids was examined. A basic method is performed on the high performance liquid chromatography system coupled to an UV-detector (230 nm) and reverse phase C-18 column ($4.6{\times}150mm$, $5{\mu}m$). Each phenolic acid was confirmed via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS system under the multiple-reaction monitoring with negative-ion electrospray ionization (ESI(-)) mode. It is demonstrated that the method was could be applied to samples for an analytical study of the phenolic acids. On the other hand, three phenolic acids in seeds of E. japonica exhibited antibacterial effect against several pathogenic bacteria. Of these, benzoic acid was found to have stronger antibacterial effect.

Glyoxalase I (Ee 4.4.1.5, lactoylglutathione lyase) from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, anion-exchange chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and affinity chromatography on S-hexylglutathione agarose. The purified enzyme was judged to be homogeneous on SDS-PAGE, and consisted of a single polypeptide chain with a relative molecular weight of 24,000. The enzyme was most active at $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5. It was catalytically most active with methylglyoxal as substrate. A number of properties of the Chlamydomonas glyoxalase I enzyme, such as substrate specificity, molecular mass, kinetic parameters, pi, metal ion effect, have been determined and compared with those reported for preparations from other sources. It had somewhat different characteristics from mammalian enzymes.

Iron is an essential nutrient for most organisms, which supplied to them in a protein-iron complex known as ferritin. Ferritins are multimeric proteins those are consisted of spherical shell of 24 subunits defining a cavity of about 8nm in diameter. Soluble form of ferritin was separated from disrupted cells, followed by silica powder adsorption. Ferritin was recovered from silica-poweder by distiiled water, which was applied to DEAE anion exchage chromatography. Collected fractions from the DEAE column were assayed to gain the amount and the purity of ferritin by using GF-HPLC.

An angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory substance was isolated and purified from Lycium chinense Miller. A crude water extract of Lycium chinense Miller was prepared by adding it to water shaking at $25^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr, followed by centrifugation at 8000 ${\times}$ g for 30 min. The crude extract was then filtered using YM-3 and YM-1 membranes. An ACE inhibitor was isolated using consecutive chromatographic methods including: ion exchange chromatography, gel permeation chromatography, and FPLC. The inhibitor was identified to have a molecular mass of 862 daltons by mass spectrometry.

본 연구는 중금속에 의한 생체내 독성기전을 연구하고자 흰쥐간의 상층액에서 카드뮴과 잘 결합하는 HMWP들을 분리, 정재하고 나아가 생화학적 특성을 밝히고 이단백질이 카드뮴에 의해 생성되는 것인지 아니면 간의 기존 단백질인지를 밝히고자 함을 연구의 목적으로 하였다. CdCl %2 (3mg/kg body wt.)을 3일간 ip injection시킨 후 흰쥐의 간을 적출하고 균질화하여 원심분리한 crude extract를 직접 Sephacryl S-100에 흡착시켜 10mM phosphate buffer(pH 7.0)으로 용출시켰다. 용출된 fraction tube를 UV spectrometer로 흡광도를 측정하고 atomic absorption spectrophotometer로 카드뮴량을 측정하여 카드뮴량이 높은 분획을 모아서 ion exchange column chromatography(DEAE-Sepharose)에 흡착시켜 염농도 구배로 chromatography를 실시하고, 음이온 교환수지에서 흡착되지 않고 용출된 분획을 ultrafiltration으로 농축시킨 후 S-Sepharose에 흡착시켜 염농도 구배로 chromatography를 실시한 결과 두 종류의 카드뮴 결합 단백질(Cd-BP)를 분리, 정제하였다.

Radioactive N-$\alpha$-p-nitrobenzoxycarbonyl (NBZ)-L-[2,$3-^{3}$H] arginyl diazomethane was used as an affinity label for the vacuolar arginine transporter in Neurospora crassa. Vacuolar matrix proteins were removed by fracturing the membranes with freeze-thaw method in dry ice/ethanol bath. Vacuolar membrane proteins were then wasged with 500mM NaCl to remove ionically bound derivatives and peripheral membrane proteins from vacuolar membranes. After dissolved in 1% Titon X-100, dissolved vacuolar memvrane proteins were separated with molecular sieve column chromatography, anion and cation exchange chromatographies. The arginine transporter was purified giving the purification factor of 1136.

Lactoferrin was isolated from the colostrum of Korean native cow by using several purification steps such as batch extraction, ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography and affinity chromatography. Other whey protein components that having similar molecular weight and affinity to lactoferrin were gradually removed from crude Korean native cow's lactoferrin during the purification steps. The amount of lactoferrin collected from a liter of Korean native cow's colostrum was 65mg and the recovery rate was 29.4%. The molecular weight of the purified Korean native cow's lactoferrin was estimated approximately 81,000dalton.

A partially purified preparation of L-galactonolactone oxidase which catalyzes the last step of L-ascorbic acid biosynthesis was obtained from Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCc 26787. The purification procedures included Triton X-100 treatment, protamine sulfate precipitation, ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B ion exchange chromatography, Sephadex G-150 gel filtration chromatography, and Phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The optimum temperature for the enzyme activity was about $34^{\circ}C$ and the optimum pH was 6.8-7.0. The substrate specificity was confined to L-aldonolactones, L-galactono-1,4-lactone and L-gulono-1,4-lactone. An apparent Km value of 0.294mM with L-galactono-1,4-lactone as a substrate was found. By comparing the substrate specificities of this enzyme with those of isofunctional enzymes of higher plants and animals, it becomes evident that the enzyme of S. cerevisiae ATCC 26787 is rather similar to the L-gulonolactone oxidase of animals than the galactonolactone dehydrogenase of higher plants.

To isolate a calcium-binding peptide from chlorella protein hydrolysates, chlorella protein was extracted and hydrolyzed using Flavourzyme, a commercial protease. The degree of hydrolysis and calcium-binding capacity were determined using trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid and orthophenanthroline methods, respectively. The enzymatic hydrolysis of chlorella protein for 6 hr was sufficient for the preparation of chlorella protein hydrolysates. The hydrolysates of chlorella protein were then ultra-filtered under 5 kDa as molecular weight. The membrane-filtered solution was fractionated using ion exchange, reverse phase, normal phase chromatography, and fast protein liquid chromatography to identify a calcium-binding peptide. The purified calcium-binding peptide had a calcium binding activity of 0.166 mM and was determined to be 700.48 Da as molecular weight, and partially identified as a peptide containing Asn-Ser-Gly-Cys based on liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrum.
