Seven commercial soybean paste were tested for ACE inhibition effect. In purification of ACE inhibitor from No. 2 soybean paste, acetone fraction $(50{\sim}80%)$ had 57% protein yield with 92.8% ACE inhibition effect. Inhibitor was purified from acetone fraction of soybean paste by Sephadex G-25, Sephadex LH-20 and ODS column chromatography and HPLC. $IC_{50}$ value of the purified inhibitor was 0.6 mg/ml. The inhibitor showed the competitive inhibition patterns on ACE. Amino acid analysis showed that the peptides consist of Ala, Phe, Leu, Glu, Gly, Ser, and Asp.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the competitiveness of the logistics industry of three countries - Korea, China and Japan - by looking into their logistics industry structure and the related regulations. For this aim, the paper examined the modal distribution of transportation, transport infrastructure, freight cost structure and regulation in transport sector in these countries. Furthermore, this study suggests some proposals for the further cooperation to bring sustainable progress in the logistics sector across Northeast Asia. The main suggestions of this paper are as follows: First, Korean government needs to strategize its options in the logistics industry, the most competitive in the country’s service sector, in upcoming FTA negotiations with China and Japan. Second, Korea needs to foster Busan into a strategic point for the Rail Ferry System and Road Feeder System. Third, Korea should participate in establishing shuttle flight service in Northeast Asia amid exploding flight demand from active economic interchange and tourism industry development.

In this study, a chloride ion probe as a direct measurement for perchlorate reduction was used to determine whether biological perchlorate reduction was inhibited by other electron acceptors ($O_2$ and ${NO_3}^-$) and to investigate competition of electron acceptors for using electron donors. Profiles of chloride production (= perchlorate reduction) in flasks containing perchlorate reducing populations were monitored by a chloride ion probe. Biological reduction of 2 mM perchlorate was inhibited by 2 mM nitrate that chloride production rate was decreased by 30% compared to perchlorate used as the only electron acceptor and chloride production rate was decreased by 70% when acetate was limited. Reduction of 2mM perchlorate was completely inhibited by oxygen at 7~8 mg/L, regardless of acetate excess / limitation.

The water-soluble or ethanol-soluble materials extracted from fruit bodies and cultured products (mycelium and broth) of H. erinaceum were prepared, and their inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity from Electrophorous electricus was investigated. Inhibition of 75-85% for AChE activity at concentration of 10 mg/ml was obtained and the mechanism was due to general non-competitive inhibition. Especially, the supernatant of culture broth by ethanol treatment, exhibited a strong inhibition activity of 94% at 10 mg/ml. The samples from fruit body, mycelium and broth (supernatant and precipitate by ethanol treatment) which were extracted from H. erinaceum, were very effective to inhibit the initial stage oxidation of a linoleic acid at concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. The antioxidative activity of these samples were superior than rutin, vitamin C and tocopherol as antioxidative standards by FTC (ferric thiocyanate) method, and also showed the very strong antioxidative activity of 95% without significant difference of the samples by TBA-RS (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance) method.

A trypsin inhibitor was isolated and purified from Azismatis Rhizoma which has been used as a galenic for diuretic and antiphlogistic. Purification was carried out by 0-80% saturated ammonium sulfate salting out, DEAE- cellulose ion exchange chromatogrphy, Sephadex G-150 gel filtration. The molecular weight of Alismatis Rhizoma trypsin inhibitor(ARTI) was estimated to be about 23,000 Da by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE, it must be monomer. ARTI was stable at 0~6$0^{\circ}C$, but at higher temperature its activity was decreased about 35%. When benzoyl-dl-arginine p-nitroanilide was used as a substrate of trypsin, half-maximal inhibition of ARTI was observed at 0.071 $\mu$M. ARTI inhibited the hydrolysis of trypsin non-competitively and Km value was 0.81 $\mu$M.

Glycosidase inhibitors are major targets in the treatment of type II diabetes, cancer and viral infections. This study was carried out to investigate the glycosidase inhibitory substances from bamboo (Phyllostachys bambusoides). Bamboo was extracted with methanol and then further fractionated with n-hexane, chloroform, n-BuOH and aqueous to get an active fraction. All extracts were evaluated for ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities to identify the n-hexane fraction with 33.5 ${\mu}$g/ml of IC50 value. Active compound 1 in the n-hexane fraction was identified as linoleic acid, which exhibited inhibitory activity with 12.4 ${\mu}$M of IC50 value. Mechanistic analysis showed that linoleic acid exhibited noncompective inhibition. This is the first study in which bamboo is reported to show ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity.

To examine the characteristics of antioxidative compounds from Capsella bursa-pastoris, ethanol extracts were separated into five organic solvent fractions; hexane(Fr.H), diethyl ether (Fr.E), ethyl acetate(Fr.EA), butanol (Fr.B), and water(Fr.D) fractions. Fr.B showed the greatest electron donating ability and inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation. Whereas Fr.E had the most excellent activity in the superoxide radical scavenging activity by xanthine/xanthine oxidase-cytochrome c reduction system. The inhibitory effect of each fraction on xanthine oxidase was also measured. Fr.E had the strongest inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase and $IC_{50}$ was $5.65\;{\mu}g$. The results indicate that the superoxide radical scavenging activity of Fr.E is caused by the inhibitory effect on radical generating system of xanthine oxidase. Also the order of inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase was Fr.B

Quercetin is a flavonoid molecule that is known to tie in various sources of natural products such as vegetables and fruits. It has been proven that quercetin plays a crucial role in the prevention of colon cancer as well as homeostasis as radical scavenger in human body. It is also well-known that glycosidases, including $\alpha$-glucosidase, are involved in a variety of degenerative metabolic disorders. In the course of screening useful $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitors, we screened out quercetin as a $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitor from chemical libraries. Quercetin was shown to be a reversible, slow-binding, and noncompetitive inhibitor of yeast a-glucosidase with a K$_i$ value of $6.3\times10^{-8}$ M when it was included with an enzyme mixture. Together, these results show that quercetin has potential in treating disorders including diabetes, although the further mechanistic study is needed.

Two major flavonoid compounds having inhibition activity of xanthine oxidase from onion skin were separated, isolated and identified by ODS chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 chromatography, UV/visible absorption spectroscopy and FAB Mass. Spectral analyses indicated that $F_1$ was a flavonol having 3,5,7,3'-OH and 4'-glucoside (quercetin 4'-glucoside), and $F_2$ was a flavonol having 3(5),7,3',4'-OH (quercetin). FAB-Mass of fraction $F_1\;and\;F_2$ in positive-ion-mode produced a spectra containing main ions at m/z 465, corresponding to the $(M＋H)^+$ ion of quercetin 4'-glucoside, and m/z 303, corresponding to the $(M＋H)^+$ ion of quercetin. The inhibition mechanisms of $F_1\;and\;F_2$ were a mixture of the uncompetative and non-competative modes, with respect to xanthine as a substrate.
