Trypsin like protease (TLP) and metalloprotease (MTP) were induced in associated with the mycelium differentiation in Streptomyces albidoflavus SMF301. TLP and MTP were purified and characterized from the culture. The molecular mass of TLP and MTP were estimated to be 32 kDa and 18 kDa, respectively. The molecular mass of TLP and MTP were estimated to be 32 kDa and 18 kDa, respectively. The optimum pH and temperature of TLP were 10 and 40.$^{\circ}C$ Those of MTP were 8 and 55 $^{\circ}C$ TLP was stable at alkaline pH (6-9) and unstable above 45.$^{\circ}C$and MTP was stable at alkaline pH and unstable above 80.$^{\circ}C$ Km and Vmax values with benzoyl-arginyl p-nitroanilide of TLP were 139 $\mu$M, and 10 nmole of nitroanilide released per min per$\mu\textrm{g}$ protein, respectively. Km, and Vmax values with a synthetic substrate, leucine p-nitroanilide, or MTP were 58.9 $\mu$M, 3.47 nmol of nitroanilide released per min per$\mu\textrm{g}$protein, respectively. TLP was inhibited competitively by leupeptin; the inhibition constant was 0.0031 $\mu$M. MTP was inhibited by EDTA, phenonthroline and bestatin.

Various plant phenolics were assessed for (${\beta}$-secretase (BACE1) inhibitory activity in order to screen for anti-dementia agents. Among 39 phenolics, eight compounds, 1,2,3-trigalloyl glucopyranoside, acetonyl geraniin, euphorscopin, furosine, helioscopinin A, helioscopinin B, jolkinin, and rugosin E exhibited strong inhibition of BACE1 with $IC_{50}$ values of $5.87{\times}10^{-8}-54.93{\times}10^{-6}\;M$. Among them, rugosin E was the most potent ($IC_{50}$ $5.87{\times}10^{-8}\;M$). The active compounds were shown to be non-competitive inhibitors by Dixon plot. All the phenolic BACE1 inhibitors except furosin also suppressed prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) activity. However, these phenolic compounds caused less inhibition of ${\alpha}$-secretase (tumor necrosis factor a converting enzyme; TACE) and no significant inhibition of other serine proteases such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase was seen, demonstrating that they are relatively specific to both BACE1 and PEP. No significant structure-activity relationships were found.

효소에 의한 단백질분해가 유청단백질의 항원성의 저하에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위한 기본연구로서, 유청단백질의 가수분해특성을 조사하고 competitive inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(cELISA)에 의한 항원성의 변화를 검토하였다. 유청단백질의 가수분해는 chymotrypsin, trypsin, pancreatin, 그리고 Aspergillus oryzae유래의 protease를 각기 4시간 동안 행하였다. TNBS(trinitrobenzensulfonic acid)법에 의하여 측정한 유청단백질의 가수분해도(DH)는 chymotrypsin이나 trypsin을 처리한 경우$(5.05{\sim}11.47)$보다 Aspergillus oryzae유래의 protease 및 pancreatin을 처리한 경우$(15.67{\sim}20.20)$가 훨씬 높게 나타났으며, 각 효소의 처리전에 열처리($75^{\circ}C$, 20분)나 pepsin의 처리를 한 경우에 대체로 약간 높게 나타났다. High performance size exclusion chromatography(HPSEC)에 의하여 분자량분포를 조사한 결과, 가수분해물에 따라 10kDa 이상의 polypeptide가 $12{\sim}36%$ 정도 존재하였고, 평균분자량은 $4,252{\sim}9,132$ dalton, 평균길이는 아미노산 $38{\sim}83$개로 나타났다. 또한 쓴맛은 형성되지 않았다. SDS-PAGE의 결과 처리구에 따라 분자량 14.2kDa 이상의 polypeptide가 일부 존재하였으나 native 유청단백질은 대부분 가수분해에 의하여 제거되었음을 확인하였다. 토끼 항WPI항혈청에 의한 cELISA로 검토한 유청단백질 가수분해물의 monovalent 항원성은 효소처리에 의하여 약 $10^{-1.7}{\sim}10^{-4.9}$배 또는 그 이하로 저하되었으며 대체로 가수분해가 많이 일어난 분해물은 그 항원성이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 각 처리구내에서는 열 및 pepsin의 전처리후 다음 효소 분해한 유청단백질 가수분해물(CDP, TDP, PDP, ODP)의 경우 그 항원성이 가장 낮았다. 그중에서도 pancreatin 가수분해물(PDP)의 경우 항원성이 거의 상실된 것으로 나타났다.

Snake venom proteinase에 대한 저해물질을 생성하는 Aspergillus 속 균주 MK-24를 토양으로부터 얻어 그 배양액에서 저해물질을 분리하여 Venom proteinase에 대한 작용양상과 안정성에 대한 조사결과는 다음과 같다. Glucose 2%, NaNO$_3$ 0.3%, $K_2$HPO$_4$ 0.02%, MgSO$_4$ㆍ7$H_2O$ 0.02%, KCl 0.02% 조성의 배지(pH 5.0)를 사용하여 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 7일간 배양하여 얻은 배양액을 acetone 심전 활성탄, methanol 침전으로 무정형의 유효분말을 얻었다. 이 물질은 A. b.b. venom proteinase에 대하여 1/2 배양에서 약 70% 저해율을 나타냈으며, A.b.b. venom proteinase에 대한 저해양상을 혼합형이었으며 enzyme-inhibitor complex를 형성하는데 20분 정도가 걸렸다. 반응액중에 Co$^{++}$, $Zn^{++}$, Cu$^{++}$ 등이 존재하면 저해작용이 완전히 억제되었다. 저해율은 사용한 기지리의 종류에 따라 차이가 났다. 즉 casein을 사용했을 때는 hemoglobin이나 albumin보다 저해율이 높았다. 그리고 본 저해물질은 snake venom proteinase 이외에 trypsin에 고농도에서 약간 저해작용을 나타냈으나 pepsin, $\alpha$-chymotrypsin, papain 등과 탄수화물 가수분해효소 등에는 저해능이 없었고, 혈액응고에 대하여는 1.6 $\mu\textrm{g}$/2$m\ell$ 농도 이상에서는 저해작용을 나타내었다. 본 저해물질은 열이나 pH에 대한 안정성이 컸다. 즉, pH처리에 대해서는 37$^{\circ}C$에서 60분 처리로 산이나 alkali에 대해서 대단히 넓은 범위에 걸쳐서 안정하였으며 $65^{\circ}C$에서는 중성까지는 안정하였으나, pH 8 이상에서는 불안정하였고 열처리에 대해서는 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 처리했을 때에도 잔존활성도가 약 90%로 매우 안정하였다.

식중독 미생물의 증식을 억제하며, probiotic으로 작용할 수 있는 균주로서 가능성이 있는 젖산균을 신생아 분변과 동치미서 젖산균을 분리(0.15%의 담즙산염과 pH 3.0인 산성조건)하였고, 항균활성이 우수한 젖산균을 선발하였다. D2와 F35-2 균주는 Lactobacillus plantarum, F20-3 균주는 L. fermentum으로 동정되었다. 젖산균 대사산물의 특성과 항균 기작을 알아보기 위해 몇 종의 식중독 미생물(Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonlla Typhimurium, Escherichia, coli O157:H7, Salmonella Enteritdis)을 사용하였으며, 항균활성 Bioscreen C로 측정하였다. 젖산균의 대사산물의 특성을 확인한 결과 pH가 중성으로 갈수록 항균효과가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. Catalase 효소처리 후에는 F20-3 균주만 항균활성이 소실되어 항균활성의 원인으로 $H_2O_2$의 영향이 있을 것으로 추정되었다. 단백질 분해 효소(trypsin, pepsin)처리에는 항균활성에 영향이 없었고, $121^{\circ}C$ 15분간 열처리에도 안정한 물질로 추정되었다. 분리균주 대사산물은 유사한 pH와 젖산 농도보다 식중독 미생물의 증식 억제가 우수하여 분리된 균주의 증식억제 물질은 유기산 및 대사산물과 관계가 있을 것으로 추정되었다. 분리균주가 생성하는 유기산을 HPLC로 정량 한 결과, D2와 F35-2는 발효 24시간에 각각 1.84, 1.85%의 젖산만이 생성되었고, F20-3은 발효 24시간에 0.91%의 젖산과 0.22%의 초산을 생성하였다. 이것으로 볼 때 젖산발효형태는 D2와 F35-2는 homo형이고, F20-3은 hetero형의 발효를 하는 것으로 확인되었다.

This study investigated the nutritional characteristics of before and after fermentation of domestic soybean (Glycine max L.) by Rhizopus oligosporus. The soybean storage proteins, β-conglycinin (11S globulin) and glycinin (7S globulin), were the most abundant in Seonyu (SY) and Danbaegkong (DBK), with concentrations of 253.4 mg/g and 193.0 mg/g, respectively. For 11S/7S related to sulfur-containing amino acid, DBK had a value of 0.95, making it the most excellent nutritionally among all the cultivars. The free amino acid content significantly increased from 0.04~10.45 mg/g before fermentation to 1.37~16.95 mg/g after fermentation, and the essential amino acid composition increased, confirming an improvement in protein quality after fermentation. Phytic acid, known as a nutritional inhibitor of soybeans, decreased from 1.66~2.13 g/100 g before fermentation to 0.90~1.58 g/100 g after fermentation, suggesting that mineral absorption inhibition was alleviated. In addition, the trypsin inhibitor content is suppressed by 76.20% to 81.25% after fermentation, which is expected to improve protein utilization in the body. This study confirmed some properties of fermented products by Rhizopus oligosporus using domestic soybeans, and these results are presented to serve as the basic data for establishing new uses of Korean soybean cultivars.

Objectives : Modified Gamgil-tang is a prescription commonly used for respiratory diseases. This thesis was carried out to check the treatment effects and diversity of drug formulation by comparing extraction method of ethanol and water of modified Gamgil-tang. Methods : All experiments were carried out with water and 50% ethanol extraction for comparison. In vivo experiment, hyaluronidase inhibitory effects and trypsin inhibitory effects were tested to measure the anti-inflammatory effects activity. Scavenging effects of DPPH free radical, xanthine oxidase inhibitory effects and inhibition on TBA-RS formation were experimented to measure anti-oxidative effects. With the in vivo experiment, ICR group mice and SD group rats were used as experimental animals. An anti-inflammatory effects experiment were carried out to measure the action on carrageenin-induced hind paw edema: analgesic effects were measured using writhing syndrome induced by 0.7% acetic acid in mice: antipyretic effect was measured using endotoxin, and inhibitory effects of increase vascular permeability induced by 0.5% histamine were measured. Results : For extraction of glycyrrhizin contents, ethanol extract was extracted 2 times of that of water extract. Anti-inflammatory effects showed high in ethanol extract. Anti-oxidative effects measured high in ethanol extract. No significant result was found in inhibition on TBA-RS formation. Analgesic effects were found to be similar in water and ethanol extract. Antipyretic effects were found to be stronger in water extract. Inhibitory effects of increase vascular permeability induced by 0.5% histamine showed stronger in ethanol extract. Conclusion : By measuring anti-inflammatory effects, analgesic effects, antipyretic effects, anti-oxidative effects, and histamine permeation inhibition effects both in water extract and ethanol extract after adding agents such as Mentha Herba, Gardenias Fructus, and propolis to existing Gamgil-Tang, ethanol extract was found to be more effective in anti-inflammatory effects, analgesic effects, anti-oxidative effects, and histamine permeation inhibition effects. The converse was found for antipyretic effect.

Red sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus, was dried using three methods-far-infrared ray, vacuum, and freeze drying and then enzymatically hydrolyzed using nine proteases: Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Kojizyme, Neutrase, Protamex, trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, and papain. In addition, the potential ability of hydrolysates to inhibit lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes was evaluated. The yield of hydrolysates from red sea cucumbers dried using each method was higher than that of the distilled water extract, and protein contents were either similar or higher. The hydrolysates that exhibited inhibitory effects on lipid accumulation, as demonstrated via Oil red O staining, were those obtained by far-infrared ray drying coupled with Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Kojizyme, or Neutrase treatment. In addition to the advantages of far-infrared drying and the characteristics of Flavourzyme, the Flavourzyme hydrolysate of far-infrared-dried red sea cucumber showed the highest inhibitory effect on lipid accumulation. In addition, this hydrolysate significantly decreased the expression of the protein factor fatty acid-binding protein 4, which is related to the late differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Taken together, these results suggest that Flavourzyme hydrolysates from farinfrared-dried red sea cucumber may be used as a functional food and/or a pharmaceutical ingredient for the inhibition of lipid accumulation.

Staphylococcus hyicus subsp. hyicus strains isolated from pigs, chickens and cattle were examined for the production of staphylokinase after inhibition of staphylococcal proteases by two procedures with EDTA(disodium). In one, EDTA was added to the bovine fibrin-dog plasminogen agar medium in concentration of 0.07% and paper strips soaked in 2mg/ml soy bean trypsin inhibitor were then applied on the agar plates. In the other, paper strips soaked in 5% EDTA solution were applied on the bovine fibrin-dog plasminogen agar plates and the strains to be tested were then streaked at right angles with the strip. By these procedures, staphylokinase activity was detected in 8(88.9%) of 9 strains from diseased pigs and in 57(80.3%) of 71 strains from skin of healthy pigs, but not in any strains from skin of healthy chickens and milk samples of mastitic cattle. Additionally kinase activity in 9 Staphylococcus species and subspecies isolated from bovine intramammary infections was also tested by these procedures. Staphylokinase activity was detected in 74.2% of Staph aureus strains and in 25% of Staph xylosus strains.

The physicochemical properties of the $\alpha$-amylase inhibitors from black bean and naked barley is Korea were investigated. Preincubation time for maximum inhibition was 30min and no activity change was seen after that time. Optimum pH of the $\alpha$-amylase inhibitors from the black bean and naked barley was pH 7.0 and the inhibitory activities were stable in the range of pH 6.0~8.0 in both phosphate and Tris-HCI buffer solutions. Both inhibitors maintained more than 50% of activity after incubation for 17 min at 7$0^{\circ}C$. The inhibitors from the black bean and naked barley maintained more than 50% of activities after treatment for 40 min and 30 min with pepsin, and 30 min and 50 min with trypsin, respectively. Both inhibitors functioned via a noncompetitive mechanism and were active against porcine pancreatic and human salivary $\alpha$-amylases. The activities of both inhibitors were linear for the ionic stength ranging from 0 to 0.9. The addition of 70 mM maltose to the reaction mixture caused a maximum increase in the relative activities of both inhibitors, but it did not affect the dissociation of the EI complex. The activities of both inhibitors were significantly enhanced by adding 1mM of K+ or Mg2+.
