최근 식용과 약용버섯으로 각광을 받고 있는 꽃송이버섯(Sparassis latifolia 혹은 S. crispa)은 베타-글루칸이 풍부하여 다양한 생리활성을 나타낸다고 알려져 있다. 꽃송이버섯에 다량 포함된 베타-글루칸과 더불어 뇌기능을 증진시킬 수 있는 영양성분이 보강된다면 약용버섯의 기능성이 더욱 증대되어 농가소득 증대와 국민 건강증진에 큰 기여를 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 꽃송이버섯 균사체 배양 시 아미노산을 첨가하였을 시 균사 생장이 촉진됨과 함께 GABA 함량이 증대되었고, ${\beta}-glucan$ 함량에는 유의적인 효과가 없는 것을 확인하였다. 균사의 생장에는 glutamic acid와 ornithine 모두 효과가 있었으나, GABA 함량에 대해서는 glutamic acid의 첨가가 훨씬 효과적임을 확인하였다. 이는 꽃송이버섯 균사체의 GABA-shunt에 glutamic acid가 영향을 미친 것으로 사료된다. 생성된 GABA의 소멸과 다른 화합물의 신규 생성에 대해서는 아직 결과를 도출하지 못하였으므로, 이 부분에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하리라 사료된다.

The retinae and the lens bodies of the frogs were hydrolyzed with 20% hydrochloric acid, and their amino acids were separated by paper chromatography. As a result of it the following were confirmed : (1) The retinae and the lens bodies were the same incomposition, and aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine ,tyrosine, glycine, lysine arginine, threonine, alanine, histidine, proline, methionine, valine , phenylalanine, leucine, and two unknown substances were separated. (2) The free amino acids in the retinae were extracted with 80% ethyl alcohol and then separated by paper chromatography. Though their separation was not so definite , serine, gultaminc acid, and glycine were always separated regardless of the amount of the sample. When the amount of the smaple was enough , $\beta$-alanine , ${\gamma}$-amino butyric acid and methionine +valine were also separated.

This study was conducted to determine the nutritional value of domestic cherry tomato varieties (Summerking, Qutiquti, and Minichal). The levels of amino acids, amino acid derivatives, and ${\gamma}-aminobutyric-acid$ (GABA) were analyzed using ion chromatography. In domestic cherry tomatoes, eighteen free amino acids were found including L-glutamic acid (L-Glu), L-glutamine (L-Gln), and L-aspartic acid (L-Asp). L-Glu was the most abundant amino acid, ranging from 1,533.17 mg/100 g to 1,920.65 mg/100 g (dry weight). The next abundant amino acids were L-Gln, ranging from 784.68 mg/100 g to 1,164.36 mg/100 g and L-Asp, ranging from 320.73 mg/100 g to 387.22 mg/100 g. Domestic cherry tomatoes contained eight essential amino acids except tryptophan and the total essential amino acid content was 297.30~432.43 mg/100 g (dry weight), which was 8.92~10.61% of total free amino acid. Several amino acid derivatives were found: L-carnitine (L-Car), hydroxylysine (Hyl), o-phosphoethanolamine (o-Pea), phosphoserine (p-Ser), ${\beta}-alanine$ (${\beta}-Ala$), N-methyl-histidine (Me-His), ethanolamine ($EtNH_2$), and L-citrulline (L-Cit). L-Car, transporting long-chain fatty acid into mitocondrial matrix, was the most abundant amino acid derivative in all domestic cherry tomatoes. A high level of GABA (313.18~638.57 mg/100 g), known as a neurotransmitter, was also found in all three domestic cherry tomatoes. These results revealed that domestic cherry tomatoes have a good balance of nutrient and bioactive compounds. Therefore, cherry tomatoes can be used as a functional food material.

In order to investigate the critical amino acid residues involved in the catalytic activities of $\beta$-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase ($\beta$-CGTase) excreted by Bacillus firmus var. alkalophilus, the amino acid residues in $\beta$-CGTase were modified by various site-specific amino acid modifying reagents. The cyclizing and amylolytic activities of $\beta$-CGTase were all seriously reduced after treatment with Woodward's reagent K (WRK) modifying aspartic/glutamic acid, N-bromosuccinimde (NBS) modifying tryptophan, and diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) modifying histidine residues. The roles of tryptophan and histidine residues in $\beta$-CGTase were further investigated by measuring the protection effect of various substrates during chemical modification, comparing protein mobility in native and affinity polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis containing soluble starch, and comparing the $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values of native and modified enzymes. Tryptophan residues were identified as affecting substrate-binding ability rather than influencing catalytic activities. On the other hand, histidine residues influenced catalytic ability rather than substrate-binding ability, plus histidine modification had an effect on shifting the optimum pH and pH stability.

We are generally interested in the analysis, detection and prediction of structural motifs in proteins, in order to infer compatibility of amino acid sequence to structure in proteins of known three-dimensional structure available in the Protein Data Bank. In this context, we are analyzing some of the well-characterized structural motifs in proteins. We have analyzed simple structural motifs, such as, ${\beta}$-turns and ${\gamma}$-turns by evaluating the statistically significant type-dependent amino acid positional preferences in enlarged representative protein datasets and revised the amino acid preferences. In doing so, we identified a number of ‘unexpected’ isolated ${\beta}$-turns with a proline amino acid residue at the (i+2) position. We extended our study to the identification of multiple turns, continuous turns and to peptides that correspond to the combinations of individual ${\beta}$ and ${\gamma}$-turns in proteins and examined the hydrogen-bond interactions likely to stabilize these peptides. This led us to develop a database of structural motifs in proteins (DSMP) that would primarily allow us to make queries based on the various fields in the database for some well-characterized structural motifs, such as, helices, ${\beta}$-strands, turns, ${\beta}$-hairpins, ${\beta}$-${\alpha}$-${\beta}$, ${\psi}$-loops, ${\beta}$-sheets, disulphide bridges. We have recently implemented this information for all entries in the current PDB in a relational database called ODSMP using Oracle9i that is easy to update and maintain and added few additional structural motifs. We have also developed another relational database corresponding to amino acid sequences and their associated secondary structure for representative proteins in the PDB called PSSARD. This database allows flexible queries to be made on the compatibility of amino acid sequences in the PDB to ‘user-defined’ super-secondary structure conformation and vice-versa. Currently, we have extended this database to include nearly 23,000 protein crystal structures available in the PDB. Further, we have analyzed the ‘structural plasticity’ associated with the ${\beta}$-propeller structural motif We have developed a method to automatically detect ${\beta}$-propellers from the PDB codes. We evaluated the accuracy and consistency of predicting ${\beta}$ and ${\gamma}$-turns in proteins using the residue-coupled model. I will discuss results of our work and describe databases and software applications that have been developed.

By varying groups on biologically active molecules, it is possible to produce analogues which sometimes inhibit the action of the parent compound. Such is true of taurine(${\beta}$-amino-ethane sulfonic acid)as an analogue of ${\beta}$-alanine and of pantoyl taurine for pantothenic acid. It seemed possible that the sulfonic acid analogues of amino acids built into peptides might possibly produce inhibition of the parent peptide. Tauryl-L-histidine was selected to prepare as an analogue of carnosine(${\beta}$-alanyl-L-histidine). There were several reasons for this choice. Camosine causes a slight contraction of isolated uterine muscle and inhibition of this action can be easily tested. Also, taurine, being a ${\beta}$-amino sulfonic acid, is much more stable than the ${\beta}$-amino sulfonic acids. Phthalyl tauryl-L-histidine methyl ester was prepared by condensing phthalyl tauryl chloride with histidine methyl ester in chloroform. The yields were quite low possibly due to reaction between the acid chloride and the imidazole of histidine. Approximately 50 per cent yield of crude amorphous product was obtained, but upon purification by crystallization they yielded only 25 percent of a pure product. The methyl ester was removed by acid hydrolysis to prevent partial cleavage of the phthalyl group. Crystalline tauryl histidine was then obtained from this acid by removal of the phthalyl group by hydrazinolysis. Tests for inhibition were carried out by comparing the action of camosine on isolated uterine muscle before and after tauryl histidine had been added to the bath surrounding the muscle strip. Only in very high relative concentrations of tauryl histidine was there any demonstrable inhibition.

Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) plays an essential role in the disease resistance system and is the precursor protein of biologically active peptides such as adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), $\alpha-melanocyte-stimulating$ hormone $(\alpha- MSH)$, $(\beta-melanocyte-stimulation hormone\;(\beta- MSH)$ and $\beta-endorphin$. We have isolated and sequenced two different forms of POMC cDNA, POMC-I and POMC-II, from a pituitary cDNA library of flounder. POMC-I cDNA consisted of 956 bp corresponding to deduced amino acids of 216 residues and POMC-II cDNA was 982 bp in length corresponding to 194 amino acids, respectively. The results of deduced amino acids analysis of the clones showed high sequence homology with previously reported POMCs amino acid sequences from various species. The homology between flounder POMC-I and -II is$57\%$ identity. We also constructed a phylogenetic tree based on POMC amino acid sequences.

Effects of acute anoxia on carbohydrate hydrolytic enzyme activities and free amino acid contents in malt were examined. Malts were prepared with barley grains germinated for 7 days which contained the highest levels of amylolytic and(1-3,1-4)-$\beta$-glucanase activities. $\alpha$-Amylase and $\beta$-amylase activities in malts were not significantly affected by anoxia for 5 or 10 h.(1-3,1-4)-$\beta$-Glucanase activity, however, decreased about 7 to 10% by anoxia for 5 or 10 h. Alanine and $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid content changed drastically. Alanine contents in malts increased by 2.2- and 2-fold, and $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid contents by 1.4- and 1.9-fold under anoxia for 5 and 10 h, respectively.
