Recent advances in the biotechnology of ruminal bacteria have been made in the characterization of enzymes involved in plant cell wall digestion, the exploration of mechanisms of gene transfer in ruminal bacteria, and the development of vectors. These studies have culminated in the introduction and expression of heterologous glucanase and xylanase genes and a fluoroacetate dehalogenase gene in ruminal bacteria. These recent studies show the strategy of gene and vector construction necessary for the production of genetically engineered bacteria for introduction into ruminants. Molecular research on proteolytic turnover of protein in the rumen is in its infancy, but a novel protein high in essential amino acids designed for intracellular expression in ruminal organisms provides an interesting approach for improving the amino acid profile of ruminal organisms.

Male-specific protein (MSP) is a soluble protein which is accumulated in high amounts In the hemolymph and other organs of adult male wax moth. The MSP was purified from adult male wax moth by gel filtration and reversed Phase column chromatography, and its amino acid sequence was determined. Three internal amino acid sequences of MSP were obtained by the in-gel digestion method using trypsin because of its blocked N-terminus. (omitted)

양수 내에 존재하는 총 단백질을 이차원 전기영동을 이용하여 분리 분석하였고, gradient gel을 이용하여 양수 내에 소량으로 존재하는 미세 단백질까지 분리하였다. 양수 내에는 고농도로 존재하는 단백질이 있는데 이것이 serum albumin precursor임을 확인하였고, 8-18% gradient gel의 이용으로 분해능(resolution)이 향상되어 미세 단백질을 분리 분석할 수 있었다. 이차원 전기영동 후 MALDI-TOF를 이용하여 단백질을 identification하여 기존의 양수 protein database에 존재하는 단백질을 확인하였고, 존재하지 않는 새로운 단백질을 분리 분석하였다.

A regression equation was proposed for predicting protein digestibility using pH drop and free amino acid content. Results were compared with those determined by the pH drop method of Satterle et al. and with apparent in vivo digestibility in rats. Measurd free amino acid content prior to four enzyme digestion had an influence on calculating digestbiilty . Results from new equation correlated more highly (r=0.8434, difference average=2.304) with in vivo digestibility than the results of pH drop method (r=0.7603, difference average=10.099).

The current ruminant feeding models require parameterization of the digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions in feed ingredients to estimate the supply of nutrients from a ration. Using an automated gas production technique, statistically welldefined digestion rate of carbohydrate, including soluble carbohydrate, can be estimated in a relatively easy way. In this study, the gas production during in vitro fermentation was measured and recorded by an automated gas production system to investigate degradation kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of a wide range of ruminant feeds: corn silage, rice straw, corn, soybean hull, soybean meal, and cell mass from lysine production (CMLP). The gas production from un-fractionated, ethanol insoluble residue and neutral detergent insoluble residue of the feed samples were obtained. The gas profiles of carbohydrate fractions on the basis of the carbohydrate scheme of the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (A, B1, B2, B3 and C) were generated using a subtraction approach. After the gas profiles were plotted with time, a curve was fitted with a single-pool exponential equation with a discrete lag to obtain kinetic parameters that can be used as inputs for modern nutritional models. The fractional degradation rate constants (Kd) of corn silage were 11.6, 25.7, 14.8 and 0.8%/h for un-fractioned, A, B1 and B2 fractions, respectively. The values were statistically well estimated, assessed by high t-value (>12.9). The Kd of carbohydrate fractions in rice straw were 4.8, 21.1, 5.7 and 0.5%/h for un-fractioned, A, B1 and B2 fractions, respectively. Although the Kd of B2 fraction was poorly defined with a t-value of 4.4, the Kd of the other fractions showed tvalues higher than 21.9. The un-fractioned corn showed the highest Kd (18.2%/h) among the feeds tested, and the Kd of A plus B1 fraction was 18.7%/h. Soybean hull had a Kd of 6.0, 29.0, 3.8 and 13.8%/h for un-fractioned, A, B1 and B2, respectively. The large Kd of fraction B2 indicated that NDF in soybean hull was easily degradable. The t-values were higher than 20 except for the B1 fraction (5.7). The estimated Kd of soybean meal was 9.6, 24.3, 5.0%/h for un-fractioned, A and B1 fractions, respectively. A small amount of gas (5.6 ml at 48 ho of incubation) was produced from fermentation of CMLP which contained little carbohydrate. In summary, the automated gas production system was satisfactory for the estimation of well defined (t-value >12) kinetic parameters and Kd of soluble carbohydrate fractions of various feedstuffs that supply mainly carbohydrate. The subtraction approach, however, should be applied with caution for some concentrates, especially those which contain a high level of crude protein since nitrogen-containing compounds can interfere with gas production.

An experiment was conducted with eight growing sheep (average initial weight 20.6 kg and average final weight 23.7 kg) in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design to study the effect of type of forage supplementation to a basal diet of rice straw (ad libitum) and cassava (Manihot esculanta, approximately 9 g of dry matter $(DM).kg^{-0.75}{\cdot}day^{-1}$) on voluntary intake, digestion, rumen microbial protein synthesis and daily weight gain. Forages used were Leucaena (L, Leucaena leucocephala), Gliricidia (G, Gliricidia maculata) and Tithonia (T, Tithonia diversifolia, wild sunflower) at a DM supplementation level of approximately $13g.kg^{-0.75}.day^{-1}$. Organic matter intake was 40.4, 55.5, 55.0 and $54.9g{\cdot}kg.^{-0.75}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ for control (C, ad libitum straw and cassava), L, G and T. respectively, significantly lower for C than for the supplemented diets. Intake of supplementary forage had also a significantly positive effect on voluntary rice straw intake. All forage supplemented diets showed a significantly higher whole diet organic matter digestion than C ($488g{\cdot}kg^{-1}$), while T ($557g{\cdot}kg^{-1}$) differed significantly from L ($516g{\cdot}kg^{-1}$) but not from G ($526g{\cdot}kg^{-1}$). Daily weight gain was -1.7, 5.2, 5.4 and $4.7g{\cdot}kg^{-0.75}$, for C, L, G and T. respectively, significantly lower for C than for the forage-supplemented diets. Efficiency of microbial protein synthesis estimated from urinary excretion of purine derivatives was lower for C (3.8 g microbial N. (kg digestible organic matter intake $(DOMI))^{-1}$ than for the forage supplemented diets (11.3, 9.0 and 9.4 g microbial $N.(kg\;DOMI)^{-1}$ for L, G and T. respectively).

Although 2D-PAGE has been widely used as the primary method for protein separation, difficulties in displaying proteins with an extreme values of isoelectric paint (pI), molecular size and hydrophobicity limit the technique. In addition, time consuming steps involving protein transfer and extraction from the gel-pieces can result in sample loss. Here, we describe a novel protein separation technique with capillary size-exclusion chromatography (CSEC) for rapid protein identification from human plasma. The method includes protein fractionation along with molecular size followed by in-solution tryptic digestion and peptide analysis through reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) coupled to nanoflow electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). Tryptic peptides are applied an a $100\;{\mu}m\;i.d.{\times}10mm$ length pre-column and then separated on a $75\;{\mu}m{\times}200mm$ analytical column at -100 nL/min flaw rate. Proteins were identified over the wide ranges of pI (3.7-12.3) when this technique was applied to the analysis of $1-2\;{\mu}L$ of human plasma. This gel-free system provides fast fractionation and may be considered a complementary technique to SDS-PAGE in proteomics.

Evaluation of energy in the diet is very important in animal nutrition because food intake is strongly influenced by the energy content of the diet. This means that the intake of other nutrients, such as amino acids, is affected by their ratio to energy content. Poultry can control their energy intake over a range of energy: protein ratios. Energy: protein ratio also affects the growth and body composition. Therefore we need to know what extent the relationship between energy and dietary protein influences the bird's performance. To predict the energy value of the diet or its chemical constituents, researchers have been working on modelling using the equations of the major biochemical pathways in terms of ATP generation and utilization. The activity of feeding and the metabolism caused by digestion and assimilation of food increase the animal's heat production and it can be measured by calorimetry technique. Theoretically, surplus amino acids which are not needed for protein synthesis stimulate an additional increase in metabolic rate and lead to increased energetic costs of catabolism and excretion. However, it has sometimes been shown that there was no measurable diet-induced thermoregulatory effect when an imbalanced amino acid mixture was fed. All these aspects are discussed in this review.

To determine the nutritional quality and physical properties of ginseng-chicken meat porridge, 10 kinds of ginsengchicken meat porridge samples containing waxy and/or non-waxy rice were analyzed for in vitro protein digestibility and their degree of starch hydrolysis. Viscosity and spreadness were determined for the gelatinized pastes of the porridge samples. Microphotographs of the starch granules and pastes were studied to confirm structural changes in the rice starch during cooking. The starch paste from non-waxy rice porridge had higher viscosity than the starch paste from the waxy rice porridge; however, in the case of the ginseng-chicken meat porridge, the difference in viscosity was negligible. Microphotograph comparisions between the waxy rice porridge and non-waxy rice porridge indicated apparent differences in the shapes of their starch granules and gels. The granule surface of the non-waxy rice was very rough while that of the waxy rice was very smooth; this difference would lead to organoleptical discrepancy. The added ginseng increased the protein digestibility of the chicken meat; however, the protein digestibility of the ginseng-chicken meat porridge was lower than that of the chicken meat or rice porridge due to inhibited protein digestion by the gelatinized starch. Finally, the rice porridge had increased starch hydrolysis with additions of chicken meat and vegetables.

쇠고기 단백질 소화에 미치는 마늘의 영향을 검토하기 위해 마늘첨가량, 숙성기간에 따른 효소소화율 및 소화저해물질(Trypsin Inhibitor, TI)의 변화를 실험하였다. 또한 효소 가수분해물의 gel여과 및 가용성부분의 질소량을 정량하여 단백질의 구조 변화를 확인하였으며, 소화율과 아미노산조성 결과를 토대로 예측소화율(Predicted Digestibility, P-dig.), 계산단백효율비(Computed Protein Efficiency Ratio, C-PER) 및 분별계산단백효율비(Discriminant Computed Protein Efficiency Ratio, DC-PER)를 계산하여 단백질 품질을 평가하였다. 쇠고기단백질 소화율은 첨가되는 생마늘량에 약간 영향을 받으나 최적 참가량은 첨가 후의 가열조건에 의하여 결정된다($96{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, 20분 가열시 쇠고기 : 마늘=100g : 12g, 60분 가열시 쇠고기 : 마늘=100g : 3g) 열변성된 쇠고기에 대한 생마늘의 효과는 없고, 날쇠고기육의 소화에는 생마늘의 효과만 인정되며 이미 가열된 쇠고기육의 소화에는 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 날쇠고기를 $4~6^{\circ}C$에서 숙성시켰을 때, 최대의 소화율을 나타내는 시간은 마늘 첨가량에 따라 달라 날쇠고기 100g에 마늘 3g을 첨가할 경우에는(A) 8시간, 12g일 경우에는(B) 12시간이었다. 마늘과 함께 숙성시킨 쇠고기육은 (A)의 경우 $96{\pm}1^{\circ}C$에서 80분, (B)의 경우 20분 정도 가열했을 때 최대소화율을 나타내었다. Four-enzyme으로 가수분해한 숙성시료에는 2,200 dalton 정도의 저분자량의 peptid가 생성되어 소화가 용이함을 확인했으며, 가용성부분도 소화율에 비례하여 증가하였다. 효소소화율에 비례하여 C-PER은 증가하여 C-PER 2.14(날쇠고기)에서 2.50(마늘과 함께 숙성시킨 시료)로 품질이 개선되었다.
