Cop protein is the transcription repressor protein in rolling circle replication plasmid. With antisense RNA, Cop protein controls the copy number of plasmid. Cop family proteins have been found in various plasmids. Among Cop family proteins, Cop studied in this paper consists of 55 amino acids (Mw. 6,400), and was known to have trimer structure. Since no structural facts are elucidated, we have carried out preliminary experiments aimed at the elucidation of its three dimensional structure. The secondary structure of Cop is studied by CD and NMR. To solve the aggregation of Cop at high concentration, we tested various detergents and salts. The addition of detergents and salts could not solve the aggregation problem. However, we found that concentration is important in solving the aggregation problem. We knew that 0.18mM in 50mM potassium phosphate without any other ingredients is maximum concentration not to aggregate. Wa also investigated the pH dependence of Cop protein, and knew that Cop protein is more stable in acid state. At various temperatures, 15N-1H HSQC spectra were measured in order to find the optimal experimental condition. To enhance the peak resolution, 3D NOESY-HSQC spectrum is acquired. Since there are NOE peaks in the NH-NH region, we knew that Cop protein has $\alpha$-helical content, which was also confirmed by CD.

Artemisia species are widely used as food ingredients and raw material in traditional medicine. However, to date, the secondary metabolites of Artemisia gmelinii Weber ex Stechm. have not been sufficiently investigated. The secondary metabolites of A. gmelinii, which was collected from representative regions in Chungbuk, Gangwon, and Gyeongbuk, were analyzed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTof MS) combined with an unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) multivariate analysis. In the loading scatter plot of PCA, significant changes in metabolites were observed between the regions, ten metabolites (3: 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 4: 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 8: trans-melilotoside, 12: quercetin 3-O-hexoside, 15: 3,4-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 17: 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 18: 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 19: syringaldehyde, 20: caffeoylquinic acid derivative, and 23: icariside II) were evaluated as key markers among twenty-five identified metabolites. Interestingly, the contents of the identified marker significantly differed between the three groups. This is the first study to report the presence of marker metabolites and their correlating geographical cultivation in A. gmelinii.

Extracts of the marine microalgae Nannochloropsis oculata were obtained using 80% methanol (MeOH) and water. The 80% MeOH extract was further fractionated with n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and water to isolate the active fraction. Seven samples were prepared and their angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), $\alpha$-glucosidase, and cancer cell growth inhibitory activities in vitro were determined. The most profound ACE inhibitory activity was observed in the chloroform fraction, while the others had moderate effects. By contrast, greater $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activity was found in the EtOAc fraction, n-hexane fraction, and water extract of N. oculata. The antiproliferative effects of the extracts and fractions against HL-60, U937, CT-26, and SK-Hep1 cancer cells were also determined. The n-BuOH fraction had the strongest antiproliferative effects on CT-26 cells in a time-dependant manner (P<0.05). These results suggest that the extracts and fractions from N. oculata could be used as a potential functional food or as pharmaceutical ingredients.

We are concerned about how to apply the theories of oriental medicine appropriately, which direction should it be taken, and how it should be developed. And it is believed to be essential for the government to make efforts to set a standard and laws to validate the medicinal effects and process of the assessment so that the systematic development can be encouraged, and to prepare guidance for the food development for national health improvement Ihis study was peformed to provide basic data that predict the usefulness of oriental medicinal herbs to remove the dampness through diuresis for excess syndrome obesity with oriental diet therapy cuisine(Yak-Sun). Five oriental medicininal herbs, Coix lachryma-jobi L, Atractylodes lancea DC., Ligusticum wallichii F., Angelica sinensis D., Zingiber officinale R. were collected and made into mixing extracts(OMCE). And we examined the effects of OMCE on body weight serum glucose, insulin and lipid profile improvement in rats fed high fat diets. Sprague-Dawley rae(230-250 g) were randomly divided into five groups : basal diet(normal diet control group, NCG), only high fat diet(High fat control group, HCG), high fat diet and supplemented with 25mg/100g body weight 50mg/100g body weight 75mg/100g body weight by OMCE(HLG, HMG, HHG). These experimental diets were fed for 6 weeks. The OME fed groups decreased more significantly in weight serum glucose insulin and lipids than the high fat control group did. These results imply that the OMCE can be used as a safe and clinically applicable ingredients for diet called Yaksun of excess syndrome obesity in human.

잡곡의 하나인 식용피는 폴리페놀과 수용성 식이섬유성분이 풍부하고 전분함량이 타 곡류보다 낮으면서 단백질 함양이 높아 영양학적 건강지표가 높은 잡곡이다. 본 연구에서는 항염증 활성이 강하게 확인된 밀양3호를 선발하여 이의 항당뇨 활성에 관해 조사하였다. 식용피 밀양3호의 80% 에탄올(EtOH) 추출물을 당뇨모델인 C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice에 600 mg/kg로 8주간 투여하여 혈당과 혈중 지질에 대한 영향을 조사한 결과, 공복혈당이 당뇨 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하여 개선 되었으며, 경구 내당성도 1주 투여 시부터 개선되는 효과를 보이다가 8주간의 투여 시는 양성대조군인(메트포민 100 mg/kg) 수준으로 경구 내당성이 개선됨을 확인하였다. 이때 체중증가는 메트포민 투여군(10.36±3.15)에는 못 미치나 8.54±2.24로 당뇨 대조군 체중 증가(8.71±1.64)의 수준이었으며, food efficiency rates를 고려하면 식용피가 식이 섭취에는 큰 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 사료되었다. 총 콜레스테롤 농도는 당뇨 대조군의 총콜레스테롤(229.3±47.8)에 비해 식용피 EtOH 추출물 투여군(160.7±7.6)과 메트포민 투여군(176.0±25.6)에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. LDL-콜레스테롤 농도는 식용피 투여군에서 메트포민 투여군 수준으로 당뇨 대조군에 비해 약 41%정도 감소한 것에 반해, 중성지방은 식용피 추출물의 영향을 받지 않았다. 간독성은 식용피 추출물군의 GOT 값이 메트포민 투여군 보다 더 낮았으며, GPT 활성도는 모든 실험군들 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이상의 연구 결과는 식용피 밀양3호가 항 당뇨 관련 우수한 소재 함유 곡류로 관련 질환 예방과 치료에 활용할 수 있음을 시사한다.

배추김치 제조 시 소금 종류별 품질 차이 및 항암 기능성 증진 효과를 알아보기 위해 정제염, 일반 천일염, 제간수 천일염, 구운소금을 사용하여 비교 연구하였다. pH 변화 및 산도에서 발효가 진행됨에 따라 정제염과 구운소금으로 제조한 김치가 일반 천일염과 제간수 천일염으로 제조한 김치에 비해 발효 속도가 지연되는 경향을 보였다. 젖산균의 변화에서는 제간수 천일염과 구운소금으로 제조한 김치에서 김치의 맛과 향을 증진시킬 수 있는 Leuconostoc sp.의 성장이 촉진되고 Lactobacillus sp.의 성장은 억제됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 제간수 천일염과 구운소금으로 제조한 김치에서 텍스쳐가 좋았고 관능검사에서도 높은 점수를 나타내었다(p<0.05). AGS 인체 위암세포와 HT-29 인체 결장암세포를 이용한 항암 효과 실험에서도 제간수 천일염과 구운소금으로 제조한 김치의 항암 기능성이 증가되었다. 따라서 총 4가지 종류의 소금 중 제간수 천일염과 구운소금으로 제조한 김치가 우수한 품질을 나타내었고 항암 기능성도 증진시켜 김치 발효에 적합한 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 품질 및 건강 기능면과 경제적인 면을 고려해 본다면 전통적으로 사용되었던 제간수 천일염이 김치 제조 시 가장 적합한 소금으로 생각된다.

A kind of traditional herbal prescription, Sip-Jeon-Dae-Bo-Tang (TJ-48), has been reported to improve the general condition of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and /or radiation therapy, and to accelerate hematopoietic recovery from bone marrow injury by mitomycin C. In the present studies, we found that hot-water extract from Atractylodes lancea DC. rhizomes contributed mainly to intestinal immune modulating activity of TJ-48 on Peyer's patch cells mediated-hematopoietic response. After the fractionation, ALR-5 II a-1-1, 5 II b-2-2 and 5 II c-3-1 were further purified from crude polysaccharide fraction. Chemical analyses of each fraction indicated that ALR-5 II a-1-1 mainly contained arabinogalactan fraction whereas ALR-5 II b-2-2 and 5 II c-3-1 mostly comprised pectic polysaccharide fractions as the active polysaccharide ingredients. In order to analyze the essential structure of the activity, ALR-5 II a-1-1 was treated by sequential enzymatic digestion using exo-${\alpha}$-L-arabinofuranosidase and exo-${\beta}$-D-(1\longrightarrow3)-galactanase. Based upon the results of chemical and MALDI-TOF-MS analyses and activity on the digested fractions, the galactosyl side chains consisting of 6-linked Galf and Galp over tetrasaccharide in ALR-5 II a-1-1 might be responsible for the potent intestinal immune modulating activity. To characterize moiety of ALR-5 II c-3-1 for the expression of activity, endo-${\alpha}$-D-(1\longrightarrow4)-polygal acturonase (GL-PGase) purified from dried leaves of Panax ginseng digested ALR-5 II c-3-1. The results of structural analyses and activity on the digested fractions showed that PG-2, which structurally resembles to rhamnogalacturonan II (RG II), and PG-3 (galacturono-oligosaccharides) contained potent intestinal immune modulating activity. Further purification of the other acidic fraction (ALR-5 II b-2-2) indicated that ALR-5 II b-2-2Bb showed that the most potent activity. ALR-5 II b-2-2Bb also contained the unusual component sugars characteristics in RG- II as well as PG-2 derived from ALR-5 II c-3-1, but it could not be digested with GL-PGase. The present studies of relationship between structures and intestinal immune modulating activity of the active polysaccharides purified from A. lancea DC. rhizomes suggested that neutral galactosyl chains consisting mainly of (1\longrightarrow6)-linked Galf and Galp, and RG- II -like moiety with unique component sugars, such as 2-Me-Xyl, 2-Me-Fuc, Api, AceA, Kdo and Dha should play an important role in the potent intestinal immune modulating action of A. lancea DC. rhizomes.
