In recent years, the importance of proteomic works, such as protein expression, detection and identification, has grown in the fields of proteomic and diagnostic research. This is because complete genome sequences of humans, and other organisms, progress as cellular processing and controlling are performed by proteins as well as DNA or RNA. However, conventional I protein analyses are time-consuming; therefore, high throughput protein analysis methods, which allow fast, direct and quantitative detection, are needed. These are so-called protein microarrays or protein chips, which have been developed to fulfill the need for high-throughput protein analyses. Although protein arrays are still in their infancy, technical development in immobilizing proteins in their native conformation on arrays, and the development of more sensitive detection methods, will facilitate the rapid deployment of protein arrays as high-throughput protein assay tools in proteomics and diagnostics. This review summarizes the basic technologies that are needed in the fabrication of protein arrays and their recent applications.

This study was carried out in order to study the effect of mungbean protein on quality characteristics of angel parfait. The foaming properties of mungbean protein was tested and angel parfait was made with mungbean protein. The results were as follows: 1. Foam expansion values of mungbean protein were generally dependent on protein concentration to 3かio protein suspension. From 1％ to 3％ suspen-sion, foam expansion values increased. However, over 3％ suspension, the values decreased. 2. The foaming stability appeared the greatest value as protein concentration increased. But it was not signifi-cantly different over than 5% concentration. 3. The overrun of angel parfait made with munbean protein was significantly higher than that of made with soybean protein and sensory evaluation data presented that angel parfait made with mungbean protein was significantly higher than that of soybean protein.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of dietary protein and calcium levels on calcium metabolism in eight healthy Korean adult females. The 2-day metabolic study consisted of a 2 day adaptation period and three 6-day experimental periods. Three experimental diets were low protein low calcium(LPLCa : protein 44g, Ca 422mg), higher protein low calcium(HPLCa : protein 85g, Ca 365mg), and high protein high calcium (HPHCa : protein 84g, Ca 727mg). The apparent calcium absorption was likely to be affected by the calcium intake rather than by the protein intake. Average calcium absorption rate was about 23-29% of calcium intake. The calcium balance was -21.44mg for LPCa, -25.02mg for HPLCa, and -3.22mg for HPHCa. Avergae urinary calcium excretion was 127.7mg for LPLCa, 108.6mg for HPLCa, and 215.4mg for HPHCa. Urinary calcium excretion was more closely related to the changes of calcium intake rather than of protein intake. These results seemed to be due to the interactions between the high phosphours contained in the high protein diet and the little discrepancy of protein intake levels.

Muscle protein synthesis in vitro was measured in chicks fed low-protein(10% CP) and control(20% CP) diets. Right leg muscles (M. gastrocnemius) were mounted on a support made of stainless steel to stretch in constant tension, whereas left leg muscles were unmounted. Both leg muscles were incubated in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium including L-[$4-^3H$] phenylalanine for 60 min to measure in vitro protein synthesis. There was no significant difference in fractional synthesis rate(FSR) of muscle protein between both dietary protein levels, whereas FSR with stretch in constant tension was significantly higher than that without constant tension due to an increase in the absolute synthesis rate(ASR) per unit RNA(the efficiency of RNA to synthesize protein). The ASR of muscle protein in chicks fed the control diet was significantly higher than that in the low-protein diet group.

A molecular-thermodynamic model is developed for the salt-induced protein precipitation. The protein molecules interact through four intermolecular potentials. An equation of state is derived based on the statistical mechanical perturbation theory with the modified Chiew's equation for the fluid phase, Young's equation for the solid phase as the reference system and a perturbation based on the protein-protein effective two body potential. The equation of state provides an expression for the chemical potential of the protein. In a single protein system, the phase separation is represented by fluid-fluid equilibria. The precipitation behaviors are simulated with the partition coefficient at various salt concentrations and degree of pre-aggregation effect for the protein particles. In a binary protein system, we regard the system as a fluid-solid phase equilibrium. At equilibrium, we compute the reduced osmotic pressure-composition diagram in the diverse protein size difference and salt concentrations.

Adaptation of infections and hosts has resulted in several metabolic mechanisms adopted by intracellular pathogens to combat the defense responses and the lack of fuel during infection. Human tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is the world's first cause of mortality tied to a single disease. This study aims to characterize and anticipate potential antigen characteristics for promising vaccine candidates for the hypothetical protein of MTB through computational strategies. The protein is associated with the catalyzation of dithiol oxidation and/or disulfide reduction because of the protein's anticipated disulfide oxidoreductase properties. This investigation analyzed the protein's physicochemical characteristics, protein-protein interactions, subcellular locations, anticipated active sites, secondary and tertiary structures, allergenicity, antigenicity, and toxicity properties. The protein has significant active amino acid residues with no allergenicity, elevated antigenicity, and no toxicity.

Simulation의 결과와 PAF식으로 계산된 성장기의 단백질 축적량과의 상대적 차이는 8.8%를 보여 본 연구의 타당성이 확인되었다. 성장률을 나타내는 총 체단백질량에 대한 단백질 축적량은 양질의 단백질을 섭취 할 경우 성장함에 따라 parabolic 형태를 띄나, 사료단백질의 질이 낮아짐에 따라 150일 simulation 기간내에 이러한 형태는 사라졌다. 성장하는 동안 단백질 회전의 두요소가 항상 병행하여 증가하였다 단백질 합성량과 분해량은 서로 병행하여 단백질 질에 따라 차이를 보였는데, 질이 높은 단백질을 섭취하였을 때 단백질 축적의 증가는 높은 단백질 합성량과 분해량에 의해 일어남 을 보여 주었다. 이는 근육단백질의 대사형태(5)를 반영하며, 그리하여 돼지의 총 단백질대사는 근육단백질에 의해 결정됨을 확인해 주었다. 그리고 단백질 질이 낮을 경우 매일의 단백질 대사율과 성장률이 저하할 뿐 아니라 성장지연도 일어남을 보여 주었다 본 연구에서 추정된 필수아미노산의 총 필요량은 28.1g이며, 일반적으로 돼지 사료의 제1 제한 아미노산인 lysine의 필요량은 4.2g이다. 이러한 아미노산 필요량은 NRC에서 권장하는 균형잡힌 아미노산 조성과 유사하다. 이와 같이 본 연구는 동위원소를 사용한 실험을 시행할 필요없이 simulation을 통해 다양한 질의 사료단백질에 따른 단백질 축적량에 대한 자료만으로 성장기의 단백질 회전률과 단백질대사의 동적행위를 나타내어 식이의 단백질 질의 변화에 적응하는 기전을 나타낼 수 있음을 보여주었다.

This study was performed to invstigate the effect of dietary protein level and source on cadmium intoxicification in rats. Forty-eight male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain weighing 171$\pm$3g were blocked into 8 groups of 6 animals according to body weigth, and were raised for 30days. Eight experimental diets different with cadmium(0ppm, 400ppm)and protein(15%, 40%) levels and protein source[casien, I.S.P.(isolated soy protein)] were given to animals for 30days. Food intake, weight gain, food efficiency ratio, liver weight, kidney weight and femur weight were lower in cadmium added group, and higher in high protein groups(40% protein) than medium protein groups(15% protein). But, dietary protein source had no influence on them. Cadmium concerntration of liver was higher in rats fed casein than I.S.P. groups, and cadmium concentration in intestine was higher in high protein groups. In femur both high protein and I.S.P.diets increased cadmium concentrations. MT concdentrations in liver, kidney and intestine were higher in cadmium added group, and kidney intestine MT concentration were higher in high protein group. Absorption and retention rates of cadmium were lower in rat fed I.S.P. than animal fed casein among medium protein groups and cadmium concentration in blood and liver of I.S.P groups were lower than casein groups. But absorption and retention rates of cadmium were similar in high casein and I.S.P. groups. Renal damage by cadmium administration was not seen in all groups. Absorption rates of zinc and copper competing with cadmium in absorption process were lower in high protein groups than medium protein groups and lower in rats fed I.S.P. than casein. In conclusion, weight gain, F.E.R, and MT concentraion of high protein groups were higher than those of medium protein groups and absorption and retention rates of cadmium were lower in high protein groups. From these results, it was shown that cadmium toxicity was alleviated by high dietary protein. Meanwhile, the effect of dietary source on the cadmium toxicity was different with protein level. In medium protein groups absorption and retention rates of cadmium were much lower in rats fed I.S.P. than casein. In high protein groups, cadmium toxicity was not influenced by protein source and absorption and retention rates of cadmium were not different between casein and I.S.P. groups.

A $3{\times}3$ factorial study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary protein and lipid levels on the growth, feed utilization and innate immunity of red seabream Pagrus major. Nine diets consisting of three protein levels (42%, 46% and 50% crude protein) and three lipid levels (10%, 14% and 18% crude lipid) were formulated. Triplicate groups of red seabream were fed the experimental diets to apparent satiation (5-6 times a day, from 08:00 to 18:00 h at 2-h intervals) for 10 weeks. At the end of the feeding trial, the weight gain and specific growth rate of fish fed P46L14 (46% protein and 14% lipid), P50L10 (50% protein and 10% lipid) and P50L14 (50% protein and 14% lipid) were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of fish fed P42L18 (42% protein and 18% lipid). The feed conversion ratios (FCR) of the fish were affected by dietary lipid levels (P<0.039), but not dietary protein levels. The FCR tended to increase with increasing dietary lipid levels from 10% to 18% with the 46% and 50% protein levels. The weight gain, protein efficiency ratio, specific growth rate, feed intake and survival of fish were not affected by either dietary protein or lipid levels. Myeloperoxidase activity in the group fed P50L14 (50% protein and 14% lipid) was significantly higher than that in the group fed P42L10 (42% protein and 10% lipid) or P50L18 (50% protein and 18% lipid). However, the myeloperoxidase activity of fish was not affected by either dietary protein or lipid level. The fish fed P46L14 (46% protein and 14% lipid) and P46L18 (46% protein and 18% lipid) showed significantly higher superoxide dismutase activity than did the fish fed P46L10 (46% protein and 10% lipid), P50L10 (50% protein and 10% lipid) of P50L18 (50% protein and 18% lipid). In conclusion, the optimum protein and lipid levels for the growth and feed utilization of juvenile red seabream were 46% and 14%, respectively, and the optimum dietary protein to energy ratio was 27.4 g/MJ.
