  • A novel lectin has been purified from the fruiting bodies of the mushroom, Fomitella fraxinea, which belongs to bracket fungi by a combination of ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration chromatography on Sephacryl S-200 HR. The lectin, designated as FFrL, was a homotetrametric protein with a molecular weight of 50 kDa as demonstrated by SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and MALDI-TOF-MS(matrix assisted UV laser desorption/ionization time-of flight mass spectrometry).

  • To improve the stability of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) as therapeutic agent. the N-terminal PEGylated rhEGF (N-PEG-rhEGF) was prepared by site-specific bioconjugation and the stability was investigated in rat skin wound homogenates. Two different N-PEG-rhGEFs (N-PEG5K- and N-PEG20K-rhEGF) were successfully prepared with the yields of above 70%. The PEGylation site was directly confirmed by determining the molecular mass of Lys-C digested samples using MALDI- TOF MS. (omitted)

  • On mixing of 1,3-dehydroadamantane, 1, with electron-deficient vinyl monomers such as acrylonitrile and methyl acrylate in THF at r.t. in the absence of any initiator, the copolymerization spontaneously proceeded to give alternating copolymers in 28-88 % yield. By contrast, no reaction of 1 occurred, when isobutyl vinyl ether or styrene was mixed under the similar conditions. These contrastive results indicate the high electron density of a central s-bond in a strained [3.3.1]propellane derivative, 1. Alternating sequences of the resulting copolymers were characterized by NMR and MALDI-TOF-MS measurements. DSC and TGA measurements revealed the high thermal stability of the alternating copolymers containing bulky and stiff adamantane skeletons.

  • Sarcodon aspratus (Thelephoraceae), a native mushroom distributed in Korea and Japan has been widely used as a traditional food and folk medicines. Two proteoglycan polysaccharides, named SAP-A and SAP-B were isolated from the fruitbody of S. aspratus. Their molecular weight were determined as 6184.9 D, and 25749.2 D, respectively, by maldi-tof ms. The composition of sugar and amino acid of these compounds was also determined. The SAP-A showed potent antitumor activity. The $ID_{50}$ value of SAP-A was 8.2 mg/kg/day for ICR mice transplanted with solid sarcoma-180, and the elongation of lifespan effect was 167.4% for ICR mice transplanted with ascitic sarcoma-180. Moreover, the elongation life-span effect of SAP-A increased dose-dependently.

  • The divergent synthesis of novel phosphorus-containing dendrimer with 4,4'-sulphonyldiphenol at the core has been accomplished involving simple condensation reactions using $P(O)Cl_3$, $P(S)Cl_3$, 3-amino-phenol, 3-hydroxy-benzaldehyde, and 2-butyn 1, 4-diol. The final compound was a Schiff's base macromolecule possessing 4 imine bonds, 8 acetylenic bonds and 8 OH groups at the periphery. The structures of intermediate compounds were confirmed by IR, NMR ($^1H$, $^{13}C$ and $^{31}P$), LC-Mass and C, H, N analysis. The structure of the final dendrimer (5) was confirmed by IR, NMR ($^1H$, $^{13}C$ and $^{31}P$), MALDI-TOF-MS, and C, H, N analysis. The surface morphological characteristics of the final dendrimer were understood by Scanning Electronic Microscopic study (SEM). The thermal stability of the final dendrimer was studied by TGA/DTA analysis.

  • In order to gain insight into the molecular changes at the protein level in plants exposed to low temperature for a long period of time (vernalization), proteome analyses of vernalization-treated Arabidopsis thaliana have been carried out by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Fourteen proteins including ATP binding/GTP binding/translation elongation factor and glycine-rich RNA-binding protein 7 (GRP7) showed differential expression in vernalization-treated Arabidopsis thaliana. GRP7 showed the most dramatic increase in expression suggesting its involvement in response to vernalization treatment.

  • For efficient biopulping process, very active and stable lignase is essential. Laccase is one of the best enzyme in terms of environmentally benign processes, since the enzyme uses oxygen as an oxidant to degrade lignin and produces no hamful prod ucts. We could purify a laccase homogeneously from Cerrena unicolor in a very active state. It shows characteristic absorption feature with blue band at λmax = 604 ㎚. Molecular weight of the enzyme is 57,608 which could be accurately determined by MALDI/TOF MS. The enzyme has 2.8 copper ions per enzyme implying apoenzymes might exist together. The enzyme is active in lignin degradation and the activity increases 4 times in the presence of ABTS as a mediator.
