Optical resolution of a-amino acid (tryptophan and tyrosine) optical isomers was achieved by a pressure driven membrane separation process, using self-supporting crosslinked membranes base on polysaccharide with different swelling indices that ranged from 100 to 70%. The membranes prepared by casting and drying the polymer solution containing 5wt% acetic acid on an acryl plate followed by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde were characterized using such analytical methods as FTIR and swelling index measurements. On the way of separating the optical isomers, several experimental factors such as the concentration of the feed solutions, operating pressure and temperature, and degree of crosslinking of the membranes have been studied. When the chitosan membranes with 70% of swelling index were used , almost complete optical resolution was obtained; 97.92% of enantiomeric excess (ee %) and 2.26 g/$m^2$ㆍh of flux. The operating pressure and the concentration of feed solutions were respectively 1.0 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 0.49 mmol/L.

To enhance the expression and secretion of pediocin PA-1 from heterologous bacterial hosts, the promoter and deduced signal sequence (PS) of an $\alpha$-amylase gene from a Bifidobacterium adolescentis strain was fused with pediocin PA-1 structural and immunity genes (AB) and the resulting functions were evaluated in Escherichia coli. Two recombinant PCR products were created-one with just the deduced signal sequence and one with the sequence plus the Ser and Thr sequences that are the next two amino acids of the signal sequence. These two products, the PSAB (---AQA::KYY---) and PSABST (---AQA$\underline{ST}$::KYY---), respectively, were inserted into a TA cloning vector (yT&A) and named pPSAB, which was previously reported, and pPSABST. The two recombinant plasmid DNAs were transferred into E. coli JM109 and the transformants displayed antimicrobial activity, where the activity of E. coli JM109 (pPSAB) was stronger than that of E. coli JM109 (pPSABST), indicating that the ST amino acid residues were not necessary for secretion and might have even decreased the antimicrobial activity of recombinant pediocin PA-1.

The concentrations of functional compounds and micronutrients of chicken breast from native chickens were compared with those from broiler. Totally 200 male chicks from a commercial native chicken (HH) and three newly bred native chicken strains (2A, 2C, and 2D) were reared for about 2 kg of final live weight up to 12 wk. After slaughtered, antioxidant dipeptides, reducing sugar, free amino acids, vitamins, and minerals of the breast muscles were analyzed with those from broilers with similar live weight. Mostly native chicken strains had higher contents of carnosine, anserine, and reducing sugar than the broiler. Especially HH implied the highest values of carnosine and anserine, and 2C did the highest of reducing sugar (p<0.05). Vitamin A contents between native chickens and broiler were not significantly different (p>0.05). The contents of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ were significantly higher in 2C than those of HH or broiler (p<0.05). Native chicken strains contained lower cholesterol levels than the broiler. Broiler had higher contents of P, Mg, and Na than native chickens (p<0.05), but it had lower content of Cu than HH or 2A. The savory free amino acids including glutamic acid was highest in 2A than the other native chickens and broiler (p<0.05). This study confirms that certain new strains of native chickens be a good source in terms of functional compounds and micronutrients which can be attractive health promoting nutritional quality factors.

The sulfuric acid sulfonation of 2-aminonaphthalene was preformed at $30^{\circ}C{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ for $1{\sim}15$ hours, using $4{\sim}10$ parts of 90% sulfuric acid${\sim}$20% oleum. This reaction was influenced by many factory such as reaction temperature, reaction time, strength of sulfuric acid and amount of sulfuric acid and among these factors, the effect of the reaction temperature was considerable. The main products of this reaction were Dahl's acid (2-aminonaphthalene-5-sulfonic acid, Broenner's-acid (2-aminonaphthalene-6-sulfonic acid), amnio-F-acid(2-aminonapthalene-7-sulfonic acid), and Baden acid (2-aminonaphthalene-7-sulfonic acid) and another isomers such as Tobia's acid (2-aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid) and 2-aminonaphthalene-4-sulfonic acid were not formed. Of these isomeric acids, those containing the sulfonic acid group in an ${\alpha}-position$, namely, Dahl's acid and Baden acid, are simultaneously formed by sulfonation at low-temperature ($30{\sim}100^{\circ}C$), whilst those containing the sulfonic acid group in a ${\beta}$-position, namely, Broenner's acid and amino-F-acid, are formed simultaneously by sulfonation at high temperatures($150^{\circ}{\sim}200^{\circ}$).

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.

Recently, we reported that the synthetic Coprisin analog peptide 9-mer dimer CopA3 (consisted of all-L amino acid sequence) was designed based on a defensin-like peptide, Coprisin isolated from Copris tripartitus. The 9-mer dimer CopA3 (L-CopA3) had antibacterial activity and induced apoptosis in human leukemia cells via a caspase-independent pathway. In this study, all of amino acid sequences of L-CopA3 were modified to all D-form amino acids (DCopA3) to develop a more effective antimicrobial peptide. We investigated whether D-CopA3 had antimicrobial activities against pathogenic microorganisms and pro-apoptotic effects in human leukemia cells (U937, Jurkat, and AML-2). The synthetic peptide D-CopA3 had antimicrobial activities against various pathogenic bacteria and yeast fungus with MIC values in the 4~64 ${\mu}M$ range. Moreover, D-CopA3 caused cell growth inhibition, and increased the chromosomal DNA fragmentation and the expression of inflammatory cytokines, TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL1-${\beta}$, transcripts in human leukemia cells. The all-D amino acid peptide DCopA3 proved as effective as the L-CopA3 reported previously. These results provide the basis for developing D-CopA3 as a new antibiotic peptide.
