Seeds or beans of 55 plants belonging to 31 families were screened by using several different types of red blood cells to find new lectins. In this paper, white kidney been (phaseolus vulgaris C.) was chosen to study biochemical properties of hemagglutinating proteins(lectins). An anion exchanger, DEAE Sephadex A-50, and polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis were main techniques used. From three main fractions eluted by stepwise NaCl gradient in 25mM Tris-HCI buffer on DEAE Sephadex column, principal lectin was identified.

Ginseng proteins have been extracted and partially purified by the methods of ammonium sulfate fractionation, heat inactivation and Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. The final three fractions obtained (GI, GII and GIII) were subjected to paper chromatography and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Molecular weights of polypeptide chains from each fraction were est-mated by the standard line obtained from the plot of electrophoretic mobilities against the logarithm of molecular weights of standard proteins. Results are as follows: 1) GI showed three protein spots and four polypeptides of which M.W. were 63,000, 60,000, 56,000, 51,000 and 34,200. 2) GII showed four protein spots and five polypeptides with their M.W. of 64,600, 56,000, 45,400, 35,800, end 25,200, 3) GIII showed three protein spots and four polypeptides with their M.W. of 66,000, 63,000, 56,000 and 22,000.

Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) was executed to separate the seed storage proteins from the buckwheat. The proteins extracted from the whole seed proteins were better separated and observed in the use of lysis buffer. Using this method, the highly reproducible isoelectric focusing (IEF) can be obtained from polyacrylamide gels, and IEF from the polyacrylamide gel at all the possible pH range (5.0-8.0) was more easily separated than IPG (immobilized pH gradient) gels. The polyacrylamide gels in the first dimension in 2-DE was used to separate and identify a number of whole seed proteins in the proteome analysis. In this new apparatus using 2-DE, 27cm in length of plate coated with polyacrylamide gel was used and the experiment was further investigated under the various conditions.

The enzyme was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex and Sephadex G- 100 column chromatography. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 35 unit/mg protein and the yield of enzyme activity was 17%. The purified enzyme showed a single band on polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. Mo1ecul;tr weight of the purified enzyme was estimated about 36,000 by Sephadex GI00 gel filtration and SDS-polyacrylarnide gel electrophoresis. The optimum pH and temperature were pH 10.0 and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. Activity of the purified enzyme was increased 2-fold by the addition of 0.1% linear alkylbenzene sulfonate and 2.5- fold by the addition of 0.05% Tide. This enzyme remained stable from pH 8.0 to 10.0 and stable up to $40^{\circ}C$.

This study was performed to examine the electrophoretic properties of Job's tears (Yulmoo: Coix lachryma-jobi L. var. Ma-yuen Stapf. & Yeomjoo: Coix lachryma-jobi L.) proteins. Albumins, globulins, gliadins and glutelins were extracted from the polished Yulmoo and brown Yeomjoo by the modified Osborne method. For a comparison, rice proteins were extracted and fractionated by the same method. The relative proportions of protein fractions were 17.4 : 19.6 : 55.2 : 7.7% in polished Yulmoo, 12.6 : 62.2 : 4.2 :21.0% in brown Yeomjoo and 14.2 : 57 4 : 0.77 : 27.8% in rice, in the order of albumis, globulins, gliadins and glutelins. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) were peformed to identify the subfractions of each protein fraction extracted from polished Yulmoo, brown Yeomjoo and rice. The electro-phoregrams of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the same fractions of both polished Yulmoo protein and brown Yeomjoo protein had very similar electrophoretic patterns to each other respectively, but there were significant differences in the patterns between Job's tears proteins and rice proteins.

An $\alpha$-D-galactosidase ($\alpha$-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3. 2. 1. 22) from earthworm was purified by affinity chromatography using N-$\varepsilon$-aminocaproyl-$\alpha$-D-galactopyranosylamine coupled to sepharose and its properties were examined. The specific activity of the purified enzyme, tested with p-nitrophenyl-$\alpha$-D-galactopyranoside as substrate, was 314 units/mg protein, representing an 122-fold purification of the original crude extract. The final preparation obtained from by Sephadex G-25 chromatography showed a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight was determined to be 48,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified galactosidase was showed maximum activity at pH 4.5 and 4$0^{\circ}C$, and was stable in the pH and temperature ranges from 4.0 to 5.5 and 30 to 5$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme activity was inhibited by Zn2+, Hg2+ and Co2+. When the purified $\alpha$-galactosidase treated to guar gum for 6 hour, gel-promoting property was increased. It was clear that enzymatic elimination of galactose from guar gum by purified $\alpha$-galactosidase would lead to a significant increase in gelation ability.

Alkalophilic Bacillus sp. YJ-451, which was isolated from soil at several area in Korea, produced a novel type of bacteriolytic enzyme (cell wall peptidoglycan hydrolase) extracellulary. The cell wall hydrolytic activity was identified as a clear zone on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis containing 0.2% (w/v) cell wall of Bacillus sp. as substrate. This enzyme was successively purified 66 fold with 3.2% yield in culture broth by ammonium sulfate precipitation, CM-cellulose column chromatography, and gel filtration, followed by hydroxylapatite column chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 27,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration column chromatography. The optimum pH and temperature for the activity of the enzyme were pH 10.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was stable between pH 5.0 and 10.0 and up to $40^{\circ}C$. Among the microorganisms used in this experiment the enzyme was active against most of gram negative strains and the genus Bacillus such as B. megaterium, B. licheniformis, B. circulans, B. pumilus, B. macerans, B. polymyxa. The release of dinitrophenylglutamic acid but not reducing group from cell wall peptidoglycan digested by the enzyme suggested that the enzyme is a kind of peptidase which hydrolyzes the peptide bond at the amino group of D-glutamic acid in the peptidoglycan.

Protein profiles of beef loin were constructed by comparing two-dimensional gel electrophoresis patterns of the proteins from different growth stages of Hanwoo, Korean cattle. Proteins from the lean muscle of 0, 6, 12 and 24 months old Hanwoo were separated by isoelectric focusing (IEF) on 16 cm tube gels, and further processed second dimensionally by 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) using $18{\times}20$ cm gel. Proteins with pI values ranging 3.0 to 9.0 and molecular weight of 15 to 100 kDa could be clearly detected on gel by silver staining. Interestingly, many of the proteins significantly increased and decreased during growth happened to be low molecular ones. To isolate the increased proteins, the soluble proteins were obtained from the tissue by 1% Triton X-100 extraction, then, fractionated by 30% and 50% ammonium sulfate. The isolation condition of each particular protein was determined. According to the conditions, two of the increased proteins were isolated, and transferred to PVDF membrane and microsequenced.

Acid mucopolysaccharides were isolated from nucleus pulposus of whale embryo. The separation of acid mucopolysaccharides was most excellent in $0.03{\%}$ hexamine cobaltic chloride in 0.05 M-sodium acetate buffer solution at pH 4.8. Changes in electrophoretic mobility of acid mucopolysaccharides were observed when the sample solution on top of spacer gel were covered with $40{\%}$ sucrose solution. This effect was not observed by the addition of hexamine cobaltic chloride to the buffer solution.
