This study was undertaken to evaluate the physiological roles & mechanism of $Ca^{++}$-ATPase & $Mg^{++}$-ATPase in human dental pulp. Each specimen of dental pulp was obtained from the freshly extracted, freeze-dried 242 teeth. $Ca^{++}$-ATPase & $Mg^{++}$-ATPase activity were measured by the release of inorganic phosphate & protein with Spectrophotometer. The results were as follows; 1. The $Ca^{++}$-ATPase & $Mg^{++}$-ATPase activity were significantly increased in developing teeth. 2. The $Ca^{++}$-ATPase & $Mg^{++}$-ATPase activity were significantly decreased in nonvital teeth. 3. The $Ca^{++}$-ATPase & $Mg^{++}$-ATPase activity were significant decreased in deciduous teeth. 4. The $Ca^{++}$-ATPase & $Mg^{++}$-ATPase activity didn't have relation with dental caries. 5. The $Ca^{++}$-ATPase & $Mg^{++}$-ATPase were activated by either $Ca^{++}$ alone or $Mg^{++}$ alone.

Mg2+-ATPase activity of actomyosin was high inionic strength 0.02-0.10 and Mg2+ATPase activity of low ionic strength was higher than high ionic strength not related to the part. Ca2+ ATPase activity was high in ionic strength 0.05-0.13, the activity of leg muscle was higher that breast muscle.

Seasonal changes in the activity and charaderistics of brain Na+, K+-ATPase and Mg2+-AWase were investigated in frog (Rana dybowskii) The brain Na+, K+-ATPase adivity during hibernation was similar to that in active period in frogs. The Na+, K+-AWase activity increased in December and March, when the frogs enter into and awake from the hibernation. Over 5-35$^{\circ}C$ temperature range, Na+, K+-ATPase showed non4inear Arrhenius kinetics throughout the year. The brain Mg2+-ATPase activity decreased during hibernation, but markedly increased in March. The Arrhenius plots for Mg2+-AWase activity were linear in frogs both in torpid and active state. The ratio of Na+, K+-AWase activity at 15~C to at 35~C did not change during hibernation. The sensitivity of Na+, K+-AWase to ouabain was also unchanged throughout the year. These results indicate that the activity and charaderistics of brain Na+, K+-AWase remain unchanged during hobernadon in frog.

Adenylate kinase-like activity and phosphotransferase-like activity from $F_1$-ATPase of Escherichia coli was revealed by $^{31}P$ NMR spectroscopy. Incubation of F1-ATPase with ADP in the presence of $Mg^{2+}$ shows the appearance of $^{31}P$ resonances from AMP and Pi, suggesting generation of AMP and ATP by adenylate kinase-like activity and the subsequent hydrolysis to Pi. Incubation of $F_1$-ATPase with ADP in the presence of methanol shows additional peak from methyl phosphate, suggesting phosphotransferase-like activity of $F_1$-ATPase. Both adenylate kinase-like activity and phosphotransferase-like activity has not been reported from $F_1$-ATPase of Escherichia coli. $^{31}P$ NMR could be a valuable tool for the investigation of phosphorous related enzyme.
