미생물 기원의 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해제를 탐색하는 과정에서 토양에서 분리한 균주인 Bacillus sp. SKU31-1 배양액에서 강력한 저해제 compound K을 일련의 크로마토그래피 방법에 의해 분리 정제하였고 $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR, $^1H-^1H$ COSY spectra 분석과 문헌조사를 통해 5-amino-1-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3,4-cyclohexanetetrol로 동정되었다. Compound K의 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해 활성은 $IC_{50}$값이 maltose 기질에서는 $1.9{\mu}M$이고, sucrose 기질 사용시 4.9 mM이었다. Lineweaver Burk plot에 의해 $K_i$값이 0.15 mM 로 강력한 경쟁적 저해제 임이 밝혀졌다.

계피(Cinnamomum cassia Presl)의 열수 추출물은 alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)의 활성을 저해하였고 IC₅₀값은 45.6 ㎍/mL이었다. 계피 추출물의 ADH 저해 성분은 산과 열에 비교적 안정하였으나 휘발성을 가진 물질로 나타났다. 계피에서 ADH 저해 물질의 추출을 위한 최적 온도와 시간은 각각 80 ℃와 2시간이었다. 계피의 정유 성분 중 cinnamaldehyde가 ADH 저해의 주된 물질이었다. Cinnamaldehyde는 기질인 에탄올에 대해 ADH 활성의 경쟁적 저해제로 여겨진다. 따라서 계피 열수 추출물과 cinnamaldehyde는 ADH의 활성을 효과적으로 저해하는 숙취해소 천연소재로서의 활용가능성을 보여주었다.

Enrofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic approved for the treatment of infections in animals. Because of the side effects to consumers of animal products, the maximum residue limits (MRLs) of enrofloxacin in animal tissues for consumption are regulated. In this study, a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against enrofloxacin was prepared and characterized for the development of a direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The obtained mAb, Enro44, was highly specific for enrofloxacin and had a 50% inhibition concentration ($IC_{50}$) of 1.99 ng/ml in a competitive ELISA, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.50 ng/ml. The cross-reactivity of the mAb with other quinolones and fluoroquinolones was lower than 0.01%. The subclass of the mAb Enro44 was identified as IgG1. The antigen (Ag)-captured direct competitive ELISA using the mAb Enro44 was tested on different spiked samples, including chicken muscle, cattle milk, and cattle urine, and the assay demonstrated recoveries of 82-112%, 80-125%, and 78-124%, respectively. Furthermore, the quantitation of enrofloxacin obtained from the ELISA and from high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was in good agreement, with the linear regression coefficient between 0.933 and 1.056. The cDNAs encoding a heavy-chain Fd fragment (VH and CH1) and a light chain of the mAb Enro44 were cloned and sequenced. Taken together, the results obtained reveal a potential use of this mAb in an ELISA for the detection of enrofloxacin in food samples. The information of amino acid sequence of this mAb will be useful for further modification and production of the mAb in a bioreactor.

Adenosine deaminase (ADA)의 여러 기질과 억제물질의 반응 속도론적 상수가 Aspergillusoryzae의 세포내 효소인 ADA의 활성자리에 어떻게 부착하고 어떤 요인을 필요로 하는지를 알기위해 측적되어졌다. kcat/$K_m$값에 의하면 조사된 기질로 작용하는 화합물 중에 3'-deoxyadenosine이 가장 좋은 기질로 작용하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 몇 개의 유사체가 억제물질로 조사되었는데 purine riboside가 $3.7{\times}10^{-5}$M의 값 $K_i$값을 가지고 가장 강한 억베물질로 나타났다. Adenine은 기질로도 억제물질로도 작용을 못하므로 adenine의 N-9 위치의 ribose가 효소에 부착하는데 중요하다는 것을 시사하고 있다. 또 ADA는 6-chloropurine riboside(6-CPR)의 dechlorination을 촉매화하여 inosine과 Cl이온을 생성한다. 6-CPR의 ADA에 대한 기질 특이성은 정상 기질인 adenine의 0.86%로 측정되었다. ADA의 경쟁적 억제물질인 purine riboside는 비슷한 $K_i$값을 가지고 dechlorination도 억제하므로 deamination과 dechlorination 반응은 효소의 부착자리를 공유하고 있다고 생각되어진다. SH기에 작용하는 화합물중 수은제인 p-chloromercuribenzoate(PCMB), mersalyl acid, $HgCl_2$는 효소의 deamination 반응을 억제했다. Mersalyl acid에 의해 활성이 억제된 ADA는 thiol reagent인 dithiothreitol이나 2-mercaptoethanol에 의해 활성이 회복되지만 PCMB에 의해 억제된 효소는 회복되지 않았다. 각 수은제들이 억제물질로 작용할 때 $K_i$값과 억제양상이 측정되었는데 모두 경쟁적 방해를 보였다. $K_i$값은 10mM 인산완충용액에서 측정한 것이 100 mM 인산완충용액에서 측정한 것보다 훨씬 낮아 인산기가 기질이 아니어도 효소의 부착에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 보여주고 있다.

유포자 유산균인 Lactobacillus sporogenes에 의한 extracellular $\beta$-galactosidase의 생산에 관한 연구에 이어 본 효소의 효소학적 일반성질을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. L. sporosenes $\beta$-glactosidase는 o-nitrophenyl-$\beta$-d-glaactopyranoside(ONPG)를 가수분해 할때에 0.05M-sodium phosphate buffer를 사용하여 pH6.8과 반응온도 6$0^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 효소활성을 나타냈으며 또한 이 효소반응의 activation enery는 50~6$0^{\circ}C$에서는 11,300ca1/mo1e, $50^{\circ}C$이하에서는 16,000ca1/mo1이었다. 효소활성에 미치는 금속 이온의 효과는 거의 없었으나 L-cysteine 10mM 첨가로 뚜렷한 첨가 효과를 나타내므로서 sulfhydryl enzyme의 특징을 보였다. 한편 lactose와 ONPG에 대한 Michaelis constant가 각각 6.45$\times$$10^{-2}$M, 1.48$\times$$10^{-3}$M을 나타냄으로서 본 효소는 ONPG에 휠씬 큰 친화성을 나타냈다. 또 ONPG분해반응은 lactose, galactose, glucose등의 당류첨가에 의해 그 반응속도가 현저히 감소되며 lactose는 특이하게 noncompe titive저해 양식을 나타내었으며 Ki값은 17.8mM galactose는 Ki값이 13.3mM, competitive inhibition glucose는 11.4mM의 Ki값에 uncompetitive inhibition을 나타냈다. 특히 본 효소는 중성부의 pH와 6$0^{\circ}C$에서 180분간 가열후에도 70%이상의 효소활성을 나타냄으로서 상당히 높은 열안정을 나타냄과 동시에 균체외 효소라는 장점도 아울러 가지고 있어 식품공업에의 그 이용 가능성이 매우 높다고 하겠다.

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is widely used in chemistry and biology as a solvent and as a cryoprotectant. It is also used as a pharmaceutical agent for the treatment of interstitial cystitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Previous reports described DMSO as being reduced by methionine-S-sulfoxide reductase (MsrA). However, little is known about the DMSO reduction capability of methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase (MsrB) or its effect on the catalysis of methionine sulfoxide reduction. We show that mammalian MsrB2 and MsrB3 were unable to reduce DMSO. This compound inhibited MsrB2 activity but did not inhibit MsrB3 activity. We further determined that DMSO functions as an inhibitor of MsrA and MsrB2 in the reduction of methionine sulfoxides via different inhibition mechanisms. DMSO competitively inhibited MsrA activity but acted as a non-competitive inhibitor of MsrB2 activity. Our study also demonstrated that DMSO inhibits in vivo methionine sulfoxide reduction in yeast and mammalian cells.

S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthetase was purified to homogeneity from soybean (Glycine max) axes. The enzyme was purified 216-fold with a 1.5% yield by ammonium sulfate fractionation, acetone fractionation, ion exchange chromatography with DEAE-sephacel, gel filtration with Sephacryl S-300, and afffinity chromatography with ATP-agarose. The enzyme activity reached a maximum 3 days after germination. SAM synthetase had a subunit molecular weight of 57,000 daltons from a silver stained single band on SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 110,000 daltons from Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration. The enzyme was composed of two identical subunits. The $K_m$ values of the enzyme for L-methionine and ATP were 1.81 and 1.53 mM, respectively. The enzymatic activity was not affected by polyamines, agmatine, or SAM analogues, but was inhibited by SAM. The inhibition pattern was showed non-competitive for L-methionine and uncompetitive for ATP. The activity of SAM synthetase was inhibited by thiol-blocking reagents. The enzyme was induced by treatment with $10^{-3}$ M putrescine at germination. Experimental data revealed a possible novel regulation mechanism of polyamine biosynthesis through several endogenous intermediates.

Inhibition of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity is the most common mechanism underlying the lowering of blood pressure. In the present study, five organic extracts of a marine brown seaweed Ecklonia cava were prepared by using ethanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform, hexane, and diethyl ether as solvents, which were then tested for their potential ACE inhibitory activities. Ethanol extract showed the strongest ACE inhibitory activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of 0.96 mg/ml. Five kinds of phlorotannins, phloroglucinol, triphlorethol-A, eckol, dieckol, and eckstolonol, were isolated from ethanol extract of E. cava, which exhibited potential ACE inhibition. Dieckol was the most potent ACE inhibitor and was found to be a non-competitive inhibitor against ACE according to Lineweaver-Burk plots. Dieckol had an inducible effect on the production of NO in EAhy926 cells without having cytotoxic effect. The results of this study indicate that E. cava could be a potential source of phlorotalnnins with ACE inhibitory activity for utilization in production of functional foods.

A 1, 2-diglyceride-based multi-step colorimetric assay to measure the pancreatic lipase activ-ity was applied for the determination of the kinetic profiles of the lipase inhibition with a slight modification and the validity verification. With this assay method, our study revealed that platy-codin D, one of major constituents of Platycodi Radix, inhibits the pancreatic lipase activity in a competitive type, with the value of $K_1$ being 0.18${\pm}$0.02 mM. In addition, PO has affected the val-ues of $K_{m}$, app/ and $K_{cat}$/$K_{m}$ in a dose-dependent manner. The results shed a meaningful light on how PO mediates lipid metabolism in the intestinal tracts. On the other hand, since the revised assay is sensitive, rapid, and does not affect the accuracy to the kinetic properties, it is applica-ble not only to evaluation of the kinetic properties of the pancreatic lipase, but also to high-throughput screening of pancreatic lipase activity.

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) can be reduced to dimethyl sulfide by MsrA, which stereospecifically catalyzes the reduction of methionine-S-sulfoxide to methionine. Our previous study showed that DMSO can competitively inhibit methionine sulfoxide reduction ability of yeast and mammalian MsrA in both in vitro and in vivo, and also act as a non-competitive inhibitor for mammalian MsrB2, specific for the reduction of methionine-R-sulfoxide, with lower inhibition effects. The present study investigated the effects of DMSO on the physiological antioxidant functions of methionine sulfoxide reductases. DMSO elevated hydrogen peroxide-mediated Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell death, whereas it protected human SK-Hep1 cells against oxidative stress. DMSO reduced the protein-carbonyl content in yeast cells in normal conditions, but markedly increased protein-carbonyl accumulation under oxidative stress. Using Msr deletion mutant yeast cells, we demonstrated the DMSO's selective inhibition of the antioxidant function of MsrA in S. cerevisiae, resulting in an increase in oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity.
