Phosphatidylglycerol(PG) and two unnatural phospholipids, phosphatidylethyleneglycol (PEG) and phosphatidylpropyleneglycol(PPG), were synthesized from ovolecithin using cabbage phospholipase D(PLD) in a emulsion system. Optimum pH and temperature for the enzymatic synthesis of PG, PEG and PPG in the emulsion system was 5.0-5.6 and 37$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The maximum activity for transphosphatidylation was obtained with 30-80 mM Ca++. Addition of 25% glycerol was required to convert completely ovolecithin to PG, whereas 16% glycerol was sufficient to attain the highest rate of conversion for both PEG and PPG syntheses, the highest conversion rate was obtained with addition of either 10% ethyleneglycol or propyleneglycol. However, the concentration of alcoholic acceptor should be increased up to 20% to improve selectivity up to 100% for PEG or PPG synthesis. Identification of PEG and PPG was made by analyzing the polyvalent alcohols released after their hydrolysis by HCl or PLD.

토양으로부터 역가높은 CGTase를 분비하는 호알칼리성 미생물을 분리하였으며, 동정 결과 Bacillus circulans로 판정되었다. 배양액 중의 CGTase를 ammonium sulfate 침전, DEAE-Sephadex 그리고 Sephadex G-100 column chromatography로 분리, 정제하여 단일 단백질 band를 얻었다. 정제된 CGTase의 분자량은 약 93,000, 최적 pH와 온도는 6.0, $50^{\circ}C$였으며, pH와 온도안정성은 5.5-11, $65^{\circ}C$까지였다. Soluble starch를 기질로 할 때의 $V_{max}$ 와 $K_{m}$ 값은 각각 0.16$\mu$mole $\beta$-CD/min, 14.3mg soluble starch/mi이였고 24시간 반응액의 $\alpha$-：$\beta$-:${\gamma}$-CD 의 생성비율은 1：8.1：1.9로서 $\beta$-CD를 우선적으로 합성하였다. 기질로 glucose와 maltose를 사용하였을 때 CD합성작용이 없었으며, sweet potato 그리고 cornstarch를 사용하였을 때 가장 높은 CD합성작용을 보였다. 어느 수준 이상의 과다한 CGTase 첨가경우에는 $\alpha$-CD생성이 급격히 증가하였다. 또한 정제된 CGTase는 stevioside에로의 당전이성을 갖고 있었다.

The ginsenoside Rh2 has strong anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic effects. However, the application of ginsenoside Rh2 is restricted because of the small amounts found in Korean white and red ginsengs. To enhance the production of ginsenoside Rh2-MIX (comprising 20(S)-Rh2, 20(R)-Rh2, Rk2, and Rh3 as a 10-g unit) with high specificity, yield, and purity, a new combination of enzymatic conversion using the commercial enzyme Viscozyme L followed by acid treatment was developed. Viscozyme L treatment at pH 5.0 and $50^{\circ}C$ was used initially to transform the major ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc, and Rd into ginsenoside F2, followed by acid-heat treatment using citric acid 2% (w/v) at pH 2.0 and $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. Scale-up production in a 10-L jar fermenter, using 60 g of the protopanaxadiol-type ginsenoside mixture from ginseng roots, produced 24 g of ginsenoside Rh2-MIX. Using 2 g of Rh2-MIX, 131 mg of 20(S)-Rh2, 58 mg of 20(R)-Rh2, 47 mg of Rk2, and 26 mg of Rh3 were obtained at over 98% chromatographic purity. Then, the anti-cancer effect of the four purified ginsenosides was investigated on B16F10, MDA-MB-231, and HuH-7 cell lines. As a result, these four rare ginsenosides markedly inhibited the growth of the cancer cell lines. These results suggested that rare ginsenoside Rh2-MIX could be exploited to prepare an anti-cancer supplement in the functional food and pharmaceutical industries.

Maltosy-$\beta$-cyclodextrin는 $\beta$-cyclodextrin에 maltose가 $\Alpha$-1,6 glycosidic bond로 결합된 분지환상결합체로서 pullulanase의 역반응(축합반응)을 이용하여 $\beta$-cyclodextrin과 maltose로부터 합성된다. Maltosyl-$\beta$-cycloextrin의 합성수율을 증가시키기 위하여 각종 water activity depressor인 각종 polyol, sugar 그리고 polyethylene glycol(PEG)등의 첨가의 영향을 검토하였다. 가장 적절한 water activity depressor는 PEG 6000로서, 첨가량 10%(w/w)의 경우 maltosyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrin 생성량과 합성수율은 크게 증가하여 3.02g/100ml 와 55.9%(w/w)로서, 첨가하지 않았을 경우보다 약 1.3배 증가하였다. Water activity는 PEG 6000을 20%(w/w) 첨가할 때 원래의 0.966에서 0.914로 감소하였으며, maltosyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrin 합성수율은 water activity에 반비례하여 증가하였다. Pullulanase의 역반응을 이용한 maltosyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrin 합성반응의 각종 열역학적 상수를 평가하였으며, $\Delta$H는 36.788kJ/mol, $\Delta$S는 0.067kJ/moleK, 그리고 $\Delta$G는 14.433kJ/mole이였다. PEG 6000의 분리회수에 적절한 ultrafiltration membrane의 pore size는 3K dalton이었으며, 여과액과 농축액의 적정 분획비는 1.0 : 9.0였다. Maltosyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrin 합성수율의 증가는 첨가한 PEG가 water activity를 감소시켜 합성된 maltosyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrin이 재분해되는 pullulanase이 정반응인 hydrolysis reaction을 억제하여 equilbrium state에 변화를 주기 때문인 것으로 유추된다.

A thermostable tyrosine phenol-lyase gene of a thermophilic Symbiobacterium species was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli in order to produce the biocatalyst for the synthesis of 3, 4-dihy-droxyphenyl-L-alanine (L-DOPA). The substrates used for the synthetic reaction were pyrocatechol, so-dium pyruvate, and ammonium chloride. The enzyme was stable up to $60^{\circ}C$, and the optimal temperature for the synthesis of L-DOPA was $37^{\circ}C$ . The optimal pH of the reaction was about 8.3. Enzyme activity was highly dependent on the amount of ammonium chloride and the optimal concentration was estimated to be 0.6 M. In the case of pyrocatechol, an inactivation of enzyme activity was observed at con-centrations higher than 0.1 M. Enzyme activity was increased by the presence of ethanol. Under op-timized conditions, L-DOPA production was carried out adding pyrocatechol and sodium pyruvate to the reaction solution intermittently to avoid substrate depletion during the reaction. The concentration of L-DOPA reached 29.8 g/l after 6 h, but the concentration didn t increase further because of the formation of byproducts by a non-enzymatic reaction between L-DOPA and pyruvate.

An enzymatic reaction for the production of D-alanine from D-aspartic acid and pyruvate as substrates by a thermostable D-amino acid aminotransferase (D-AAT) was investigated at various conditions In the temperature range of 40-70$\^{C}$ and pH range of 6.0-9.5. The D-AAT was produced with recombinant E. coli BL21, which hosted the chimeric plasmid pTLK2 harboring the D-AAT from the novel thermophilic Bacillus sp. LK-2. The enzyme reaction was shown to follow the Ping Pong Bi Bi mechanism. The K$\_$m/ values for D-aspartic acid and pyruvate were 4.38 mar and 0.72 mM, respectively. It was observed that competitive inhibition by D-alanine, the product of this reaction, was evident with the inhibition constant K$\_$i/ value of 0.1 mM. A unique feature of this reaction scheme is that the decorboxylation of oxaloacetic acid, one of the products, spontaneously produces pyruvate. Therefore, only a catalytic amount of pyruvate is necessary for the enzyme conversion reaction to proceed. A typical time-course kinetic study skewed that D-alanine up to 88 mM could be produced from 100 mM of D-aspartic acid with a molar yield of 1.0.

Sugar beet pulp is an abundant industrial waste material that holds a great potential for bioethanol production owing to its high content of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and pectin. Its structural and chemical robustness limits the yield of fermentable sugars obtained by hydrolyzation and represents the main bottleneck for bioethanol production. Physical (ultrasound and thermal) pretreatment methods were tested and combined with enzymatic hydrolysis by cellulase and pectinase to evaluate the most efficient strategy. The optimized hydrolysis process was combined with a fermentation step using a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for ethanol production in a single-tank bioreactor. Optimal sugar beet pulp conversion was achieved at a concentration of 60 g/l (39% of dry weight) and a bioreactor stirrer speed of 960 rpm. The maximum ethanol yield was 0.1 g ethanol/g of dry weight (0.25 g ethanol/g total sugar content), the efficiency of ethanol production was 49%, and the productivity of the bioprocess was 0.29 $g/l{\cdot}h$, respectively.
