Objectives : This study was conducted to carry out Purification of Melittin and other peptide components from Bee Venom using gel filtration chromatography and propionic acid/urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis Methods : Melittin and other peptide components were separated from bee venom by using gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-50 column in 0.05M ammonium acetate buffer. Results : Melittin and other peptide components were separated from bee venom by using gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-50 column in 0.05M ammonium acetate buffer. The fractions obtained from gel filtration chromatography was analyzed by using SDS-PAGE and propionic acid/urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The melittin obtained from the gel filtration contained residual amount of phospholipase $A_2$ and a protein with molecular weight of 6,000. The contaminating proteins were removed by the second gel filtration chromatography. Conclusion : Gel filtration chromatography and propionic acid/urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis are useful to separate peptide components including melittin from bee venom.

Silica-based gel filtration chromatography has been used to characterize molecular weight of proteins. However, the molecular weight measured by this method was distorted by protein-silica interactions like hydrophobic and electrostatic forces. Therefore, we characterized protein-silica interaction using two forms of phytochrome (124 kDa) having different hydrophobicity and surface charge. PH and ionic strength affected the retention time of phytochrome suggesting that electrostatic force is the major interaction between protein and silica surface.

The pure-separation of calcium chloride-treated fibroin hydrolysates could be carried out using gel filtration chromatography. Also, the effect of its enzymatic hydrolysis was investigated in order to find out the enhancement of their functionality. The average molecular weight(Mw), solubility and free amino acid compositions of three hydrolysates samples (calcium chloride, calcium chloride-flavourzyme and calcium chloride-thermoase)were measured to compare their characteristics. The molecular weight of calcium chloride hydrolysate was about Mw 46,800 and it can be reduced to Mw 12,500 and 1,070 upon the enzymatic hydrolysis by flavourzyme and thermoase, repectively. A solubility of calcium chloride-treated samples shows about 60% while calcium chloride/enzyme-treated samples are perfectly soluble (100% solubility). The total amino acid composition of calcium chloride enzymatic hydrolysates are much higher than that of calcium chloride hydrolysate.

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.

The polysaccharides were extracted from fruiting body, mycelia, and cell-free broth of Agaricus blazei Murill. The crude polysaccharides were obtained by the ethanol addtion. They were further purified using ion-exchange chromatography and gel chromatography. Ion-exchange chromatography using DEAE-cellulose column separated neutral and acidic polysaccharides. Neutral polysaccharides were then purified with gel filtration chromatography. For single peak obtained from gel filtration chromatography was molecular weight was measured with Sepharose CL-6B. The same procedure with acidic polysaccharides were performed to get the purified polysaccharides.

Complex, ill-defined mixtures of natural origin are often used as nutrients in the production of biological products through microbial fermentation. Product yields are affected by variation in these natural products. Yeast extract is a typical example of these natural products. Since it is a mixture of amino acids, peptides and nucleic acids, its composition is not well characterized. In this study, we investigated the properties of thiamine hydrochloride, riboflavin and pyridoxine hydrochlride in yeast extract by using a gel filtration chromatography, ion exchange chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. Yeast extract solution was fractionated by gel filtration chromatography and ion exchange chromatography, and then, each fraction was analyzed by using a high performance liquid chromatography.

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.

This study was carried out to separate ovotransferrin in chicken egg white by gel chromatography and heparin affinity chromatography. In gel filtration which was performed with 50mM Phosphate buffer (pH 7.2, 0.15M salt) at a flow rate of 2.0 ml/min, ovotransferrin and ovalbumin were eluted together in fraction number 11-16. In order to separate pure ovotransferrin, fraction No. 12-14 of them which have high concentration of ovotransferrin were concentrated and rechromatographed. However, the ovotransferrin did not separated clearly. In heparin affinity chromatography, the separation was performed with 50mM ethylaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, pH7.2) and 50mM Phosphate buffer (pH 7.2, 0.15M salt contained) on ferrous and ferric ion saturated column at as same flow rate as gel filtration system's. Ovotransferrin and albumin were eluted together at 10-15min (fraction No.3) and 15-20min (fraction No.4), respectively. However, purified ovotransferrin was eluted at 156-165min and 165-175min (tube No.32-33) with 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.2, 0.15M salt free), respectively. Heparin affinity chromatography with ferric ion saturated column was resulted in the best separation of ovotransferrin rather than separation by gel chromatography and ferrous ion saturated heparin affinity chromatography.

Extracellular $\beta$-galactosidase from the culture broth of L. sporogenes was purified to apparent homogeniety by procedures including ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion exchange chromatography, and Hydroxyapatite adsorption chromatography. The purifying procedures resulted in 347-fold purification with the overall yield of 39.5％ The purified enzyme had a specific activity(using ONPG as a substrate) of about 1, 585 units per mg protein. The molecular weight of the enzyme protein was estimated to be 140, 000 by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200, and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electorphoresis showed that the enzyme consisted of two identical subunits with a molecular weight of 72, 000.
