This study was conducted to investigate the effects of synthetic antioxidants con the degradation of angiotensin II which is made up of 8 amino acids: Asp-Arg-Val-Try-Ile-Gly-Pro-Phe, by the $\alpha$-chymotrypsin and trypsin. the results obtained were as follow; 1. Dibutyl hydroxytoluene, butyl hydroxyanisole and sodium L-ascorbate showed no inhibitory effect on the activity of $\alpha$-chymotrypsin on the angiotensin II, but ethyl protocathechuate inhibited. its activity at the concentration of 100ppm. However, the angiotension II was gradually degradated by $\alpha$-chymotrypsin after one hour incubation with ethylprotecathechuate. 2. Butyl hydroxyanisole inhibited trypsin activities above 100ppm, but no inhibitory activities was observed by the other antioxidants used in this experiment.

Mungbean trypsin inhibitor (MBTI) was isolated and purified from Mung bean which has been used as a galenic and traditional food. MBTI and poly(ethylene glycol) were conjugated by using water soluble carbodiimide. We evaluated the therapeutic value of the MBTI and MBTI-PEG conjugate using animal models, sublethal septic shock model in guinea pig caused by pseudomonal elastase, shock model in rat caused by lipopolysaccharide, and the vascular permeability test by using pseudomonal elastase. In two shock model in guinea p Is and in rat, hypotesion shock was inhibited by pretreatment of MBTI. And also the vascular permeability caused by pseudomonal elastase reduced by pretreatment of MBTI. Also, therapeutic value of the MBTI-PEG conjugate was evaluated by using the sublethal septic shock model caused by pseudomonal elastase. The MBTI-PEG conjugate was more effective than native MBTI against pseudomonal elastase induced septic shock in guinea pig model.

Carbobenzoxy-alanyl-thiaarginine benzyl ester and carbobenzoxy-alanyl-thialysine benzyl ester were synthesized in solution. Kinetic studies were carried out using three different analytical methods, semi-classical method, progress curve analysis and competitive spectrophotometry. In competitive spectrophotometry, carbobenzoxy-valyl-glycyl-arginyl-p-nitroaniline was used as a detector. Kinetic constants such as $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ measured by competitive spectrophotometry are almost the same as those values measured by semi-classical method. Colorimetric Ellman's assays showed the thio-peptido mimetics to be a suitable substrates for trypsin. Kinetic studies with trypsin gave $K_m$ of 2.33 mM and $k_{cat}$ of $1.50{\times}10^5\;min^{-1}$ for carboxy-alanyl-thiaarginine benzyl ester and $K_m$ of $3.41{\times}10^{-3}\; Mm\; and\; k_{cat}\; of\; 520{\times}102\; min^{-1}$ for carbobenzoxy-alanyl-thialysine benzyl ester, respectively. Kinetic constants $(K_m=2.04{\times}10^{-2}\; mM, K_{cat}=4.42{\times}10^3 \;min^{-1})$ for natural substrate, carbobenzoxy-alanyl-lysine benzyl ester, were also evaluated by competitive spectrophotometry in order to compare the mode of binding on trypsin.

The production of Streptomyces griseus trypsin (SGT) by S. griseus IFO13350 transformed with the expression vector pWHM3-TR1R2, containing sprT encoding SGT and the two positive regulatory genes sgtR1 and sgtR2, was investigated in various media. Cultivation in Ferm-0 gave 1.4 times more trypsin activity than in C5/L medium. In addition, replacement of 2% glucose and 1% skim milk in Ferm-0 with 2% dextrin and 1% tryptone (designated Ferm-II) enhanced trypsin activity 4.1-fold. To simplify the purification process, the supernatant from the S. griseus transformant cultured in Ferm-II medium was fractionated with ammonium sulfate (25-55%), then subjected to Hitrap Benzamidine FF affinity column chromatography. The specific activity of SGT purified by one-step chromatography was 69,550 unit/mg protein and the overall purification yield was above 8%, indicating that this method is more effective than those previously reported. Purified SGT was most active at pH 8.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, and it maintained activity between pH 7.0 and 9.0 and at temperatures up to $70^{\circ}C$. These enzymatic properties are very similar to those of authentic eukaryotic trypsin purified from bovine pancreas.

Cloning of a 6.6-kb BamHI digested chromosomal DNA from S. griseus IFO13350 revealed the presence of an additional gene encoding a novel trypsin-like enzyme, named SprU. The SprU protein shows a high homology ($79\%$ identity, $88\%$ similarity) with the SGT protease, which has been reported as a bacterial trypsin in the same strain. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the sprU gene suggests that SprU is produced as a precursor consisting of an amino-terminal presequence (29 amino acid residues), prosequence (4 residues), and mature trypsin consisting of 222 amino acids with a molecular weight of 22.94 kDa and a calculated pI of 4.13. The serine, histidine, and aspartic acid residues composing the catalytic triad of typical serine proteases are also well conserved. When the trypsin activity of the SprU was spectrophotometrically measured by the enzymatic hydrolysis of the artificial chromogenic substrate, N-${alpha}$-benzoyl-DL-arginine-p-nitroanilide, the S. lividans transformant with pWHM3-U gave 3 times higher activity than that of control. When the same recombinant plasmid was introduced into S. griseus, however, the gene dosage effect was not so significant, as in the cases of other genes encoding serine proteases, such as sprA, sprB, and sprD. Although two trypsins, SprU and SGT, have a high degree of homology, the pI values, the gene dosage effect in S. griseus, and the gene arrangement adjacent to the two genes are very different, suggesting that the biochemical and biological function of the SprU might be quite different from that of the SGT.

This study was performed to investigate the inhibitory activity of ethanol extract from Ecklonia cava (EE-EC) against trypsin and the stability of this activity under various heat and pH conditions. As a results, The EE-EC showed trypsin inhibitory activity of 77, 54, and 32% at concentrations of 5, 2.5, and 1 mg/mL and was not affected by the heat treatment conditions used in this study. Whereas trypsin inhibitory activity of EE-EC was stable in the pH range of 2-8, but decreased with pH treatment of pH 10 compared with the control. Therefore, the EE-EC could be useful as a natural and functional agent.

The fed-batch process which combinded high selectivity of affinity chromatography and membrane process was developed. The mixture of trypsin and chymotrypsin, having almost the same molecular weight and the chemical structure, were used as model enzymes. The water soluble polymer having more affinity for trypsin and celluose acetate membrane gelated in 50vol.% ethanol for removing free enzymes and retentating trypsin-affinity polymer complex simutaneously were used in this system. The membrane pore size was controlled by ethanol concentration in the gellation bath, and the affinity polymer was prepared by polymerization of acrylamide with N-acryloyl-m-aminobenzamidine at $4^{\circ}C$. The trypsin could be effectively concentrated by utilizing an affinity polymer and a prepared UF-50 ultrafiltration membrane. As a result, 86% purity trypsin was recovered by the current purification process.

The digestive enzyme activities such as $\alpha-amylase$, trypsin and pepsin from the laboratory-reared river puffer Takifugu obscurus were measured from the time course of 1 day until the 65 day after hatching. In the case of $\alpha-amylase$, it was showed minimum activity of 0.0493 U/mg at the total length (TL) 10 mm, and showed maximum activity of 0.1480 U/mg at 19 mmTL. Trypsin and pepsin were showed their maximum activities of 0.0264, 0.0258 U/mg and 0.0178, 0.0201 U/mg when the total length of 16 and 24 mm, and represented remarkable correlations between the changes of enzyme activity and growth rate. The ontogenetic variations of digestive enzymes were represented clearly different patterns; i.e, the pepsin showed higher activity when the periods of larva ($4\~5\;mmTL$) and juvenile II ($19\~24\;mmTL$), however, the trypsin represented maximum activity at the stages of juvenile I ($11\~16\;mmTL$) and young fish (27 mmTL), respectively.
