L-alanine 단결정의 전자 스핀 공명 신호를 100K까지의 온도 영역에서 측정하였다. L-alanine 단결정을 중수에서 수화용액용법으로 성장시켰으며, 이렇게 성장된 결정에 co bait-60 감마선을 32Gy 조사시키었다. 중수에서 성장된 L-alanine 단결정의 스펙트럼은 보통 L-alanine의 것과 초미세구조가 같게 나타났으며, 중앙공명선의 FWHM은 25%가 개선되었다. 감마선이 조사될 때 L-alanine에 생성되는 자유기는 H$_3$CCR(R=COOH) 형태의 화학구조를 가짐을 알 수 있다. 또한 L-alanine의 온도 의존성으로부터 상온에서 L-alanine자유기의 메틸기는 매우 빠르게 회전하며, 저온으로 갈수록 회전이 점점 정착됨을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 L-형 아미노산인 L-Alanine과 무기염인 NaCl, KCl, $NaNO_3$ 및 $KNO_3$의 각 전해질로 이루어진 L-Alanine/전해질 수용액 계에서 L-Alanine의 활동도계수와 용해도를 298.15 K에서 측정하였다. L-Alanine의 활동도계수는 양이온 및 음이온의 선택성 전극으로 이루어진 화학전지에서 두 전극간의 기전력을 측정하는 전기화학 법으로 측정하였으며, 용해도는 L-Alanine의 고체상과 상평형을 이루고 있는 포화용액을 중량 분석하여 측정하였다. 한편 본 연구에서는 아미노산(L-Alanine)/전해질 수용액 계의 잔류(residual) Helmholtz 자유에너지를 섭동사슬-통계역학적 회합성유체이론(perturbed chain-statistical associating fluid theory)과 단순-평균구근사(primitive-mean spherical approximation)이론을 결합한 관계로 모델링 하였으며, 이로부터 아미노산의 활동도계수 및 용해도에 대한 열역학적 관계식을 얻었다. Helmholtz 자유에너지를 모델링 하는 과정에서는 아미노산은 양쪽성 이온(zwitterion) 형태로 존재하며 아미노산의 양쪽성 이온은 같은 이온끼리 자기-회합(self-association)하며 동시에 물분자와 교차-회합(cross-association)하는 회합체로 가정하였으며, 또한 아미노산의 양쪽성 이온이 전해질(무기염)로부터 해리된 양이온 및 음이온과 상호작용하여 이온복합체(ion complex)를 형성하는 과정을 회합현상으로 가정하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 이론적 모델로부터 L-Alanine/전해질 수용액 계에서 계산되는 L-Alanine의 활동도계수 및 용해도 값은 본 연구의 실험값과 일치하는 경향을 보였다.

L-alanine dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis exhibits allosteric kinetic properties in the presence of $ZN^{2+}$. $ZN^{2+}$ induces the binding of substrate (L-alanine) to be cooperative at pH 8.0. The effect of pH variation between pH 7.0 and pH 10.0 on the inhibition by $ZN^{2+}$ correlates with the pH effect on the $K_m$ values for L-alanine within these pH range indicating that $ZN^{2+}$ and substrate compete for the same site. No such cooperativity is induced by $ZN^{2+}$ when the reaction is carried out at pH 10. At this higher pH, $ZN^{2+}$ binds with the enzyme with lower affinity and noncompetitive with respect to L-alanine. Inhibition of L-alanine dehydrogenase by $ZN^{2+}$ depends on the ionic strength. Increase in KCI concentration reduced the inhibition, but allosteric property in $ZN^{2+}$ binding is conserved. A model for the regulatory mechanism of L-alanine dehydrogenase as a noncooperative substrate-cooperative cofactor allosteric enzyme, which is compatible in both concerted and the sequential allosteric mechanism, is proposed.

Two new orotic acid derivatives orotyl-DL-alanine and orotyl-L-tyrosine were synthesized. They were obtained as high melting crystalline masses by condensing DL-alanine and L-tyrosine each with orotyl chloride in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, followed by acidifying the reaction mixture.

L-Alanine(L-ala) and S-methyl-L-cysteine(L-mcy) cobalt(III) complexes of a flexible $N_2O_2$-type tetradentate ligand ethylenediamine-N,N'-di- -butyric acid(eddb), s-cis-[Co(eddb)(L-ala)] and s-cis-[Co(eddb)(L-mcy), have been prepared via the substitution reactions of the s-cis-$[Co(eddb)Cl_2]$-complex with, respectively, L-alanine and S-methyl-L-cysteine. Both L-alanine and S-methyl-L-cysteine are found to coordinate to the cobalt(III) ion via the nitrogen and oxygen donor atoms to give the meridional s-cis isomer. Electronic absorption, ir and pmr spectra are used to characterize the complexes obtained in this work along with elemental analysis data.

A homologous gene to alanine racemase was cloned from a hyperthermophilic bacterium, Aquifex pyrophilus. The cloned gene encodes a protein of 341 amino acids, which has a significant homology to alanine racemase of Bacillus stearothermophilus, Lactobacillus brevis, and E. coli. When the gene was expressed in Escherichia coli, it produced a 40 kDa protein. The purified protein contains one mole pyridoxal 5-phosphate per one mole of protein, which is essential for catalytic activity of alanine racemase. The purified protein catalyzed racemization of L-alanine to D-alanine, or vice versa, indicating that the cloned gene encoded alanine racemase. It also showed significant racemization activity against L-serine and ${\alpha}-aminobutylic$ acid. The A. pyrophilus alanine racemase showed strong thermostability, and it maintained catalytic activity in the presence of organic solvents.

Low molecular weight silk fibroin (LMSF), which was prepared by hydrolysis of silk fibroin using high-temperature and high-pressure method, was found to inhibit the oxidation of L-3,4,-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) catalyzed by mushroom tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1). LMSF contained mostly free amino acids such as L-glycine, L-alanine, and L-serine and oligopeptides, mainly glycine-alanine dimer. As a result of analyzing the inhibition kinetics from Lineweaver-Burk plots, L-glycine and glycine-alanine dimer showed noncompetitive behavior while uncompetitive behavior was observed in L-alanine, and L-serine. When weight percent concentration of ${ID_50}$ was compared, L-glycine was most effective on the inhibition and LMSF was also good enough for the inhibition effect of tyrosinase activity. LMSF showed a mixed-type inhibition and the inhibitory mechanism of LMSF might be caused by free amino acids and oligopeptides. As a result of spectroscopic observation with time, initial rate of increase of DOPAchrome decreased remarkably and the time to reach maximum absorbance increased as an increase of the concentration of L-glycine, meaning that L-glycine made itself mainly responsible for the formation of chelate with ${Cu^2+}$ in tyrosinase. However, in case of L-alanine, L-serine, and especially glycine-alanine dimmer, the production of DOPAchrome after an arrival at maximum absorbance decreased, indicating the production of adducts through the reaction with DOPAquinone.

Urinary dipeptidase와 alanine dehydrogenase의 연쇄반응을 이용한 형광분석법을 개발하였다. 반응계는 기질로서 L-ala-ala, ${\beta}-NAD^+$, L-alanine dehydrogenase와 pH 9의 12.5mM sodium carbonate buffer를 포함하며 urinary dipeptidase를 가함으로써 반응을 시작했다. 생성된 NADH는 여기파장 340nm, 형광파장 460nm에서 측정했다. 기존의 glycyldehydrophenylalanine(Gdp)의 가수분해 방법과 형광분석법을 비교한 결과 0.996의 높은 상관계수를 나타냈으며 10배 이상의 감도 증가를 보였다.

B. pseudomycoides로 부터 alanine racemase로 추정되는 유전자를 분리한 다음 6xHistidine 이 결합된 pET-21 운반체를 이용하여 E. coli BL21(DE3)에서 발현시키고 생화학 특성을 조사하였다. 재조합된 alanine racemase는 affinity chromatography를 이용하여 분리하였으며 SDS-PAGE 분석에서 약 46 kDa의 단일밴드를 나타내었다. 분리된 효소는 여러 아미노산 중에서 L-alanine에 대하여 가장 높은 활성도를 보이고 D-alanine에 대하여 두번째로 높은 활성도를 보였다. 따라서 분리된 효소는 alanine racemase로 판단되었다. 분리된 효소는 D-cysteine에 하여 상당히 저해가 되었다. 효소의 최적 활성도는 pH 9.0 근처에서 관찰되었고 산성의 조건보다는 알칼리의 조건에서 보다 안정하였다. 보효소인 PLP 0.3mM의 첨가에 의해 효소의 활성도는 약 70% 가량 증대되었다.

The volatiles formed from the reactions of L-ascorbic acid with L-alanine at 5 different pH (5, 6, 7, 8, or 9) and $140{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr was performed using solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) analysis were identified to be 25 different kinds. The reaction between L-ascorbic acid and L-alanine led mainly to the formation of pyrazines. Many of these were alkylpyrazines, such as 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2-ethyl-5-methylpyrazine, 3,5-diethyl-2-methylpyrazine, methylpyrazine, 2-ethyl-6-methylpyrazine, and 2,3-diethyl-5-methylpyrazine, other compounds identified were furans, phenols, benzoquinones, 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine, and 2-methylbenzoxazole. The studies showed that furans, such as furfural and benzofuran were formed mainly at acidic pH. In contrast, higher pH values could promote the production of pyrazines.
