A radioprotective ginseng protein fraction was obtained from Korean white ginseng powder by the following isolation and purification procedures: Tris-HCI buffer extraction, 70% ammonium sulfate fractionation, CM-rellulosr column chromatography, heat inactivation and Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. This fraction was further purified by Sepharose 4B and Sephadex G-150 column chromatographies. Three fractions obtained were subjected to Native-PAGE and SDS-PAGE using gradient gels and the silver staining method. Molecular weights of the native proteins and their subunits were estimated.

Pretense produced by Bacillus subtilis PANH765 was purified from culture supernatant by using ammonium sulfate fractionation DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography, and gel filtration with Sephacryl S 200 HR and Sepharose CL-6B. DEAE-cellulose ion exchange column chromatography, separated the pretense into one fraction. This fraction was further purified using Sephacryl S 200 HR and Sepharose CL-6B gel titration. The molecular mass of pretense was estimated to be 35.0 kDa by the SDS-PAGE and gel filtration using Sepharose CL-6B. The results indicated that the purified pretense are monomeric proteins. Specific activity and purification folds of pretense were 657 U/mg and 4.35, respectively. The optimum temperature, optimum pit stable at a temperature range and pH ranges for the purified protease were 65$^{\circ}C$, 7.05, 50 ∼ 75$^{\circ}C$ and 6.0 ∼ 7.5, respectively. The pretense activity was decreased by the presence of PMSF and DFP, which the protease activity was increased by the presence of Na$\^$+/, K$\^$+/, Mg$\^$2＋/ and NH$_4$$\^$+/ ions.

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was purified from fresh ginseng roots using acetone precipitation, carboxymethyl (CM)-Sepharose chromatography, and phenyl-Sepharose chromatography. Two isoenzymes (PPO 1 and PPO 2) were separated using an ion-exchange column with CM-Sepharose. PPO 1 was purified up to 13.2-fold with a 22.6% yield. PPO 2 bound to CM-Sepharose, eluted with NaCl, and was purified up to 22.5-fold with a 17.4% yield. PPO 2 was further chromatographed on phenyl-Sepharose. The molecular weight of the purified PPO 2 from fresh ginseng was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and was about 40 kDa. The optimum temperature and pH were $20^{\circ}C$ and 7.0, respectively, using catechol as a substrate. Pyrogallol showed the highest substrate specificity. The effect of a PPO inhibitor showed that its activity increased slightly in the presence of a low concentration of citric acid. High concentrations of acidic compounds and sulfite agents significantly inhibited purified ginseng PPO 2.

One acetolactate synthase isozyme which has Rf value of 0.83 on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was purified from Sewatia marcescens ATCC 25419 by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, Phenyl-Sepharose chromatography, Sephacryt S-400 gel filtration followed by native gel elution. The native molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be 531,400 by gel filtration method, and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separated the native enzyme into two polypeptides having molecular sizes of 55,000 and 38,900 respectively. In kinetic parameters, $K_m$ value for pyruvate was 2.54 mM, and $V_{max}$ was 21.75 nmoie/min/mg. The enzyme showed maximal activity around pH 8.0 and optimal temperature of the acetolactate formation was $37^{\circ}C$. Feedback inhibition studies indicate that the purified enzyme is rather resistant to branched chain amino acids when compared with acetolactate synthase isozymes of plants or other enterobacteria.

Ascorbate oxidizing enzyme from the crude extract of Pleurotus ostreatus was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, DEAE Sepharose CL-6B ion exchange chromatography and Sephadex G-150 gel filtration chromatography. The molecular weight of the enzyme estimated by Sephadex G-150 gel filtration chromatography was 140,000 and that of its subunit by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis 66,000. The optimum pH for the maximum activity of the enzyme was 5.2 and the isoelectric point of the enzyme was 6.0 Km values for L-ascorbic acid and D-isoascorbic acid were both 2.2.$\mu$M, which indicates that the enzyme has the asme affinity towards both substrates.

These experiments were carried out to isolate SIgA from human and bovine milk. The immunochemical properties of SIgA from human and bovine milk were examined by Gel filtration, DEAE and SDS-PAGE. Double Immunodiffusion, and Immunoelectrophoresis. The results obtained are as follows: 1. Human SIgA was purified from colostrum of Korean women by repeated gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and Sepharose 6B, but bovine SigA was not cleary purified from bovine colostrum of Holstein cows by anion exchange chromatography using DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and Sepharose 6B. 2. The immunochemical properties of fractions from gel filtration on the Sephadex G-200 and Sepharose 6B column as assessed by Immunoelectrophoresis and double Immunodiffusion to identify the presence of IgM in first peak fraction, and the presence of pure SIgA in second peak fraction. However, Bovine SigA rich fraction from bovine colostrum of Holstein cows contained a large amount of $IgG_1$-dimer in addition to SIgA. 3. The fragments of reduced bovine colostrum SIgA rich fraction were estimated to have molecular weights of secretory component, heavy chain and light chain (75,000-80,000, 50,000-60,000, 25,000-27,000 daltons) by SDS-PAGE, respectively. Those were similar to the molecular weight of reduced SIgA from human milk.

We have isolated an anti-complementary polysaccharide from the hot water extracts of Phellinus linteus mycelia. Anti-complementary polysaccharide, PL-5-IIIa, was purified by ultrafiltration, gel permeation chromatography using Sepharose CL-4B. GPC (Sepharose CL-4B) and its homogenicity was demonstrated by HPLC. Using gel permeation chromatography with standard dextrans, its molecular weight was determined as about 800,000 dalton. The purified PL-5-IIIa was identified as a protein bound polysaccharide comprising of 29.6% protein and 64.2% carbohydrate which was composed of fucose(15.8%), galactose(43.1%) and mannose(40.6%).

Srrepromycec. corlirolar produces at least 4 catalase activity bands with different electrophoretic mobilities on polyacrylamide gel which vary during development. Spores and mycelia at stationary phase produced all the activity bands(Cat1. 760 kr); Cat3-I, 170 kD: Cat3-2, 140 kD: Cat3-3. 130 kD; Cat4, 70 kD) except for Cat2 (300 kD). Mycelia at mid-logarithmic phase produced only Cat2 and Cat3-2 bands, and mycelia at late-logarithmic phase produced bands except Catl and Cat\ulcorner. Catalase-deficient mutants were screened in S. coelicalur by H201 bubbling test following NTG mutagenesis. Wc tested sevcral non-bubbling or slow-bubbling mutants for their catalase activities. The overall activities in cell extracts decreased more than 5 fold. Activity bands in native gel selectively decreased in intensity or disappeared. In all the non-bubbling mutants testcd, Cat3-2 band decreased significantly or disappeared. suggesting that Cat3-2 is the major catalase. The selective disappearance of bands in mutants suggest that each band is governed by different genes. We purified catalase activity from -:ell extracts obtained at late-logarithmic phase. Following chromatographies on Sepharose CL-4B. DEAE Sepharose CL-6B. Phcnyl Sepharose CL-4B. and hydroxylapatite columns. only the Cat3-2 activity was obtained. The native form of Cat3-2 has molecular weight of approximately 140 kD, judged by gel electrophoresis. Thc electrophoretic mobility on SDS-polyactylamide gel suggests that this enzyme contains 2 identical subunits of 67 kD.
