The amino acid composition of a protein provides basic information for solving many problems in bioinformatics. We propose a new method that uses biologically relevant similarity between amino acids to determine the amino acid composition, where the BOLOSUM matrix is exploited to define a similarity measure between amino acids. Futhermore, to extract more information from a protein sequence than conventional methods for determining amino acid composition, we exploit the concepts of spectral analysis of signals such as radar and speech signals-the concepts of time-dependent analysis, time resolution, and frequency resolution. The proposed method was applied to predict subcellular localization of proteins, and showed significantly improved performance over previous methods for amino acid composition estimation.

We have investigated for amino acid composition, molecular weight and terminal amino acid of the main gliadin protein which was purified by Sephadex column. The results were obtained as follows: 1. The highest content of amino acid was glutamic acid for the main gliadin protein. 2. The molecular weight was estimated 60,200 ${\pm}$200 for the main gliadin protein. 3. Identified N-terminal and C-terminal amino acid of the main gliadin protein were phenylalanine and methionine, respectively.

Protein content and amino acid composition of three prospective Korean wheat varieties (Youngkwang, Wonkwang and Chokwang) were studied from the viewpoint of baking performance. 1. Protein contents of Korean varieties were Less than 10% which were relatively lower than the U. S. baking standard. These levels were considered insuffcient for best baking performance. 2. Compared to U. S. baking standard, Korean wheat varieties showed slightly lower level of glutamic acid, which is considered to play an important role in baking performance of flour. Approximately 25% decrease in glutamic acid content was observed in Korean varieties when the absolute amount of glutamic acid per unit sample size was compared. 3. Korean wheat varieties showed similar levels of proline and cystine, slightly higher levels of lysine, ammonia and aspartic acid; and slightly lower level of essential amino acids compared to the U. S. baking standard. 4. Protein content and amino acid composition of Korean wheat varieties were considered to be intermediate of U. S. baking and cookie standards. From this viewpoint, Youngkwang showed the greatest potential for best baking performance among Korean varieties.

In order to estimate the chemical composition of Raspberry (IR Crataegifalius), the free amino acids were analyzed by amino acid autoanalyzer, and organic acids contents were determined by gas chromatography and the free sugars were detected by paper chromatography. The results obtained were as follows: 1) The free amino acids found in Raspberry were 18 kinds of them, especially, all essential amino acids were showed, and lysine was abundant among them, consequently it was found that the composition of amino acids in Raspberry is more superior than those of the other fruits. 2) The organic acids in Raspberry were found citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and fumaric acid. It was found that the quantity of the organic acids was less than those of other common fruits. 3) Sugar such as glucose, fructose, maltose and mannose were detected by paper chromatography.

The muscles of wild and cultured eel, Anguilla japonica, were analyzed for the protein composition and amino acid profile. The differences of the subunit distribution for the sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins were discussed with sodium dodecylsulfate(SDS) polyacryamide gel electrophoresis. The muscle protein in wild eel was composed of $30.78\%$ of sarcoplasmic, $59.02\%$ of myofibrillar, $9.73\%$ of residual intracellular and $2.47\%$ of stroma fraction. That in cultured eel was composed of $31.81\%,\;58.37\%,\;8.16\%\;and\;1.80%$, respectively, The sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins were composed of 16 and 14 subunits in wild eel, and 22 and 15 subunts in cured eel. The sarcoplasmic protein between wild and cultured muscles showed a similar trend in the subunits, except a few subunits such as 36,500, 46,000, 58,500, 75,000, 170,000 and 235,000 daltons in cultured eel. Only the existence of 45,000 dalton subunit was the difference between wild and cultured eel in myofibrillar protein. The distribution patterns of total amino acid in muscles of wild and cultured eel were found to be very similar trend, although glycine content in wild eel was slightly higher than that in cultured one.

In the present study, proximate compostions, fatty acid and amino acid compositions of wild and cultivated Dodok (Codonopsis laceolata B. et H.) were analysed. The contents of crude ash and crude protein were higher in the cultivated Dodok than in the wild Dodok. The main fatty acids in the total lipid, free lipid and bound lipid of wild and cultivated Dodok were linoleic acid, palmitic acid and followed by linolenic acid. In the case of wild Dodok, numerous unknown peaks were appeared significantly. The amino acids analyzed in wild aid cultivated Dodok were lysine, histidine, arginine, aspartic acid, threonine, serine, glutamic acid, proline, glycine, alanine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine and phenylalanine. Arginine was the predominant amino acid in both wild and cultivated Dodok.

The muscles of wild and cultured carp (Cyprinus carpio), and Israeli carp (Cyprinus carpio nudus) were analyzed for the amino acid profiles, in vitro digestibility, predicted digestibility, C-PER and DC-PER. The distribution patterns of the total amino acid profiles in wild and cultured carp were found to be very similar, although there were relatively large differences in lysine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid contents which were higher in the cultured carp. Israeli carp was 2 times as much as wild carp in lysine. The quality of muscle proteins in wild and cultured carp, and Israeli carp was predicted by the in vitro method. The protein quality of Israeli carp was higher than that of wild and cultured carp, whereas there showed a similar tend to protein quality between wild and cultured carp. The contents of hitidine, tyrosine, aspartic acid, alanine and glutamic acid in diet showed stronger positive corelation with the levels of protein deposition than those of protein intake, and those amino acids would greatly influence on amino acid composition of muscle protein in fishes.
