Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a halophilic bacterium associated with seafood gastroenteritis. An unusual strain of Kanagawa-positive urease producing Vibrio parahaemolyticus O1:K1 was isolated from the environment and identified . A polymerase chain reaction assay revealed that this strain harbored both the tdh and the genes. The urease from this strain was studied. Maximum urease production was induced in LB medium containing 0.2% urea, 0.5% glucose, 2% NaCl and pH 5.5 with 6h of culti-vation at 37$\^{C}$ under aeration. Purification of urease was achieved by the process of whole cell lysate, 65% ammonium sulphate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose ion exchange column chromatography, Sepharose CL-6B gel filtration and oxirane activated Sepharose 6B-urea affinity chromatography with 203 fold purification and 2.2% yield. Analysis of the purified enzyme by SDS-PAGE demonstrated the presence of the subunits with a molecular weight of 85kDa, 59kDa, 41kDa and the molecular weight for the native enzyme by nondenaturing PAGE and gel filtration chromatography was 255kDa. The purified urease was stable at pH 7.5 and the opeimal pH in HEPES buffer was 8.0 The enzyme was stable at 60$\^{C}$ for 2 h with a residual activity of 32% . The addition of 10$\mu$M if NiCl$_2$maintained stability for 30 min. The Km value of the purified enzyme was 35.6 mM in urea substrate. The TD$\_$50/(median toxic dose) of the purified urease was 2.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml on human leukemia cells.

결정성 aluminosilicate 광물의 일종인 천연 zeolite는 광물학적 특성과 화학적 표면활성으로 인하여 다방면의 공업화학적 이용가치가 매우 높고 광물중 특히 가장 높은 양이온교환능을 가지고 있어 기체분자에 대한 선택적 흡착력이 큰 molecular sieve로써 흡착분리제로는 물론, 건조제, 흡습제, 이온교환체, 촉매, 증량제 그리고 폐수처리제, 경수의 연화제등으로 이용도가 날로 증가하고 있다. 국내산 천연 zeolite를 IN HCL용액과 NaCl용액으로 화학처리하여 다공성을 증가시켜 column충전제로 사용한 결과, 혼합기체 Ar, $N_2$ CO및 $CH_4$의 분리특성에 관해서 HCL용액으로 처리한 mordenite 시료는 활성화온도가 $300^{\circ}C$일 경우, CO와 $CH_4$의 분리는 곤란하나 $350^{\circ}C$에서는 분리가 용이하였고 NaCl용액으로 처리한 시료는 미처리한 것과 거의 유사하였다. Ar과 $N_2$와의 분리에는 산 또는 알칼리로 화학처리한 시료에도 별로 효과가 없었으나 HCL용액과 NaCl용액을 연속적으로 처리한 천연 zeolite는 합성 zeolite의 특성에 견줄만한 정도로 기체분리효과와 HETP값을 보여주었다. 한편 시료의 화학처리에 의한 Ar과 CO의 흡착열의 변화는 극성기체인 CO의 경우, 별로 변화가 없지만 무극성기체인 Ar은 영향을 받기가 용이하였다. 또한 carrier gas He의 유속이 대략 20~30ml min범위일때 최소의 HETP값을 가지며 column의 효능이 좋았다.

In this study we purified a fibrinolytic enzyme from Cordyceps militaris using a combination of ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE Sephadex A-50 column, gel filtration chromatography on a Sephadex G-75 column, and FPLC on a HiLoad 16/60 Superdex 75 column. This purification protocol resulted in a 191.8-fold purification of the enzyme and a final yield of 12.9 %. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 52 kDa by SDS-PAGE, fibrin-zymography, and gel filtration chromatography. The first 19 amino acid residues of the N-terminal sequence were ALTTQSNV THGLATISLRQ, which is similar to the subtilisin-like serine protease PR1J from Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliase. This enzyme is a neutral protease with an optimal reaction pH and temperature of 7.4 and $37^{\circ}C$, respectively. Results for the fibrinolysis pattern showed that the enzyme rapidly hydrolyzed the fibrin $\alpha$-chain followed by the $\gamma$-$\gamma$ chains. It also hydrolyzed the $\beta$-chain, but more slowly. The A$\alpha$, B$\beta$, and $\gamma$ chains of fibrinogen were also cleaved very rapidly. We found that enzyme activity was inhibited by $Cu^{2+}$ and $Co^{2+}$, but enhanced by the additions of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ ions. Furthermore, fibrinolytic enzyme activity was potently inhibited by PMSF and APMSF. This enzyme exhibited a high specificity for the chymotrypsin substrate S-2586 indicating it's a chymotrypsin-like serine protease. The data we present suggest that the fibrinolytic enzyme derived from the edible and medicinal mushroom Cordyceps militaris has fibrin binding activity, which allows for the local activation of the fibrin degradation pathway.

Rhodanese was isolated and purified from the cytosolic fraction of liver tissue homogenate of the fruit bat, Eidolon helvum, by using ammonium sulphate precipitation and CM-Sephadex C-50 ion exchange chromatography. The specific activity was increased 130-fold with a 53% recovery. The $K_m$ values for KCN and $Na_2S_2O_3$ as substrates were $13.5{\pm}2.2\;mM$ and $19.5{\pm}0.7\;mM$, respectively. The apparent molecular weight was estimated by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-100 column to be 36,000 Da. The optimal activity was found at a high pH (pH 9.0) and the temperature optimum was $35^{\circ}C$. An Arrhenius plot of the heat stability data consisted of two linear segments with a break occurring at $35^{\circ}C$. The apparent activation energy values from these slopes were 11.5 kcal/mol and 76.6 kcal/mol. Inhibition studies on the enzyme with a number of cations showed that $Mg^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Co^{2+}$ did not affect the activity of the enzyme, but $Hg^{2+}$ and $Ba^{2+}$ inhibited the enzyme.

Botrytis cinerea T91-1 has been shown to produce at least four different polygalacturonases into a liquid medium containing citrus pectin, a carbon sousrce. One of the enzymes, which had an apparent molecular weight of 66 kDa estimated by denatured polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by a series of procedures including a cetone precipitation, ion exchange, heparin affinity, and reverse phase column chromatographies. The molecular weight of native enzyme was determined to be 64 kDa by gel permeation chromatography indicating the enzyme to be a single polypeptide chain. By viscometric analysis, the enzyme was revealed as exo-polygalacturonase. The enzyme activity was inhibited by divalent cations such as $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and Cu$^{2+}$. Km and Vmax for polygalacturonic acid hydrolysis were 0.33 mg/ml and 28.6 nM/min, respectively. The optimum temperature for enzymatic activity was 5$0^{\circ}C$. And the enzyme showed optimal pH values between 4.0 and 5.0. The enzyme was stable upto 12 hours in the range of pH 3 to 8 and at temperature below 3$0^{\circ}C$.

In order to elucidate a mechanism responsible for the development of the odor characteristics of cooked, desirable-flavored shellfish, oysters were extracted using various solvents and the resulting extracts were evaluated organoleptically after cooking. The 80% aqueous methanol extract was found to produce a desirable cooked flavor. This oyster extract was fractionated using ion-exchange column chromatography and dialysis, and each of the fractions was subjected to cooking, followed by organoleptic evaluation. The outer dialysate fraction such as acidic and amphoteric water-soluble fractions produced a cooked oyster flavor. The volatile flavor compounds identified from cooked oyster included 29 hydrocarbons, 20 alcohols, 16 acids, 12 aldehydes, nine nitrogen-containing aromatic compounds, eight ketones, five furans, three esters, three phenols, and one benzene.

$\alpha $-Arabinofuranosidase was produced by E. coli HB101 haboring the recombinant plasmid pKMG11 which contained the arfI gene of Bacillus stearothermophilus. The maximum production of the enzyme was observed when E. coli HB101 cells were grown at 37$\circ$C for 20 hours in the medium containing 0.5% arabinose, 1.0% tryptone, 0.5% yeast extract, and 1% NaCl. The $\ALPHA $-arabinofuranosidase produced was purified to homogeneity using a combination of 20-50% ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B ion exchange column chromatography and Sepharose 6B-100 gel filtration. The purified enzyme was most active at 55$\circ$C and pH 6.5. The K$_{m}$ and V$_{max}$ values of the enzyme on $\rho $-nitrophenyl-$\alpha $-arabinofuranoside was determined to be 2.99 mM and 0.43 $\mu $mole/min (319.74 $\mu $mole/min/mg), respectively. The pI value was 4.5. The molecular weight of the native protein was estimated to be 289 kDa. The SDS-polyacrylamide gel clectrophoresis analysis suggested that the functional protein was a trimer of the 108 kDa identical subunits. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the a-arabinofuranosidase was identified as X-Ser-Thr-Ala-Pro-Arg( \ulcorner )-Ala-Thr-Met-Val-Ile-Asp-X-Ala-Phe.

To find antitumor components in the hot water extract of the cultured mycelia of Ganoderma lucidum, protein-bound polysaccharides were purified and fractionated (Fr. I-V) by DEAE-cellulose ion exchange column chromatography and Sepbarose CL-4B gel filtration. When a dose of 20 mg/kg/day of each was, i.p., injected into ICR mice, the inhibition ratios against the solid form of sarcoma 180 were $64.2{\sim}75.8%$. The antitumor component was examined for immunological activity. It increased the amount of superoxide anion released by induced macrophages in peritoneal cavity to 1.8 times and the count of hemolytic plaque-forming cells (PFC) was increased to 4.4 times as compared with those of the control group. It contained 68.6% polysaccharide which consisted of mannose, glucose, galactose, fucose and xylose and 5.1% protein consisting of 17 amino acids. The contents of hexosamine were 0.78%. The molecular weight of Fr. V that showed the highest antitumor activity was $5.8{\times}10^4$ dalton by Sepharose CL-4B gel filtration. It was named lucidan.
