Cotton fabrics were treated with 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid(BTCA) to impart durable press performance, which is formaldehyde-free DP finishing reagent. The pore structures of BTCA treated cottons were compared using a reverse gel permeation chromatographic technique(reverse GPC). A series consisting 4 kinds of water soluble sugars was used to study the elution characteristics of columns prepared from cotton fibers. From these data, differences in pore size distribution in the control and BTCA treated cottons were distinguished. BTCA crosslinks cellulose molecules provided wrinkle resistance to the treated cotton fabrics through ester linkages. Although crosslinking of cotton with BTCA reduced accessible internal volume across the entire range of pore size, differences in line pores were larger than in small pores. BTCA treated cotton exhibited reductions over 40% in large pore sizes.

Inhibitory compounds of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) were separated from Doenjang (traditional Korean fermented soybean paste). Water extracts from Doenjang which showed ACE inhibitory activity were separated with gel permeation chromatography (GPC), in which two fractions with high ACE inhibitory activities were obtained. The first fraction from GPC was further isolated by semi-preparative reverse phase preparative-HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) and 2-dimensional electrophoresis/thin layer chromatography (TLC). The purified spot had molecular weight of 759 daltons and ninhydrin-positive non-peptide. The second fraction from GPC was also further isolated by semi-preparative reverse phase HPLC and $NH_2-column$ HPLC. One fraction with high ACE inhibitory activity was purified and characterized. Molecular weight of this fraction by LC-MS was 272.34 daltons. The active fraction was identified as Arg-Pro with ACE $IC_{50}$ of $92\;{\mu}M$.

The crystalline fraction of silk fibroin (Fcp) was obtained from the aqueous solution of silk fibroin hydrolyzed by $\alpha$-chymotrypsin. The molecular weight of Fcp was found approximately 7000 by using high speed GPC. On the other hand, a high molecular weight of PIFcp product could be obtained by the reverse reaction of enzymatic proteolysis of Fcp precipitates. Some parts of this PIFcp have the molecular weights of approximately 17000 and 24000. As a result of x-ray diffraction analysis, the crystal structure of Fcp and PIFcp was turned out silk-II type and silk-I type, respectively. Upon the reverse reaction of enzymatic protelysis, the structural transition occured from silk-II type to silk-I type crystal for the most of Fcp precipitates. It was confirmed that PIFcp might be somewhat stable crystal structure of silk-I type according to the thermal analysis as well as x-ray diffraction method.

DWP40458 is a novel human thrombopoietin mutein with two additional N-linked glycosylation site. The thermal stability of DWP40458 in both solution and lyophilized form was studied in the temperature range of 4-50$^{\circ}C$, compared with recombinant human TPO (rhTPO). When the aggregation or degradation pattern of DWP40458 and rhTPO solution was characterized by using SDS-PAGE, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and reverse phase HPLC, it was found that thermostability of DWP40458 was significantly different to rhTPO in the temperature at 25, 40, 40, 50$^{\circ}C$.
