Cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) is involved in the transcriptional regulation of more than 100 genes in E. coli. CRP dimer is converted into active form via the sequential conformation change of cAMP binding pocket, hinge region and HTH DNA binding motif by binding of cAMP. The temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) was applied to CRP protein to know whether it was an efficient technique to study the conformational transitions and the thermal stability. TGGE showed the unfolding process of wild-type and S83G CRP proteins with the temperature gradient set from 29 to 71$^{\circ}C$ on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel. Melting temperature (Tm) was 57$\pm$1 and 55$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ for wild-type and S83G CRP, respectively in acidic buffer[89.8 mM Glycine and 24 mM Boric acid (pH 5.8)].

We examined the determination of trace amount of germanium in rocks and sediments by hydride vapor generation-ICP-AES. Germanium is formed volatile compounds with various types of acid reagents, but volatilizing of germanium was decreased in the presence of $H_3PO_4$. Sediments and rocks can be dissolved by mixed acids of $HF-HNO_3-H_3PO_4$ without volatilizing loss of germanium in open digestion system and it was possible to determine germanium by hydride generation-ICP-AES without further sample treatment. Detection limit of Ge is reached to 0.08 ppb under the condition of 5M $H_3PO_4$ and 1% $NaBH_4$ as a supporting acid and a reducing reagent, respectively. The measured values by hydride generation-ICP-AES agreed well with the reference values of SRMs as well as the values determined by solution nebulization-ICP-MS.

In this study, the characteristics of catechol tannin and pyrogallol tannin contained in Pteridium aquilinum were analysed by It spectrum. Silk fabrics were dyed with Pteridium aquilinum extracts using various mordants, and their dyeing properties were discussed. Additionally the fastness the water digestion, perspiration liquid digestion and light irradiation were investigated. IR spectrum of catechol tannin showed bands of O-H at $3417cm^{-1}$, C-H at $2930cm^{-1}$, C=0 at $1722cm^{-1}$, C=C at $1644cm^{-1},\;CH_2\;at\;1402cm^{-1}$. And IR spectrum of pyrogallol tannin showed bands of O-H at $3409cm^{-1}$, C-H at $3003cm^{-1}\;and\;2933cm^{-11}$, C=0 at $1701cm^{-1}$, C=C at $1582cm^{-11},\;CH_2\;at\;1410cm^{-1}$, CO at carboxylic acid and carboxylic acid ester at $1287cm^{-1}\;and\;1135cm^{-1}$. The maximum absorption wavelength of the extracts appeared at 270.0nm and 311.5nm. The optimum conditions for dyeing silk fabric with Pteridium aquilinum extracts were $80^{\circ}C$, 60min. Surface color of the silk fabric dyed with Pteridium aquilinum extracts was 2.7Y Surface color of the pre-mordanted fabrics with Al, Cu and Fe were 4.3Y, 2.5Y and 4.7Y, respectively. And Surface color of the post-mordanted fabrics with Al, Cu and Fe were 3.7Y, 2.8Y and 0.2GY. The water fastness and the alkaline perspiration fastness were improved in the Al-mordanted silk fabrics. By acidic and alkaline perspiration treatment, ${\Delta}E of the unmordanted fabrics was lower than hat of pre- and post- mordanted fabrics. Also after 40hour irradiation, ${\Delta}E of the unmordanted fabrics was lower than that of pre- and post- mordanted fabrics.

Aluminium (Al) is one of the major elements in rocks and its concentration can be varied, depending on different rock types as well as sources. The present study aimed to propose an analytical method based on the UV-Vis as a cheap, simple, and common instrument equipped in most laboratories for Al quantification in rocks after the microwave assisted acid digestion. The aluminone and 8-hydroxyquinoline were investigated for the colorimetric assay. The results show that the 8-hydroxyquinoline reagent was more favorable in terms of the minimized affects of the potential interferences present in the digested solutions, i.e., Fe³⁺, Si⁴⁺ and F^-. The calibration curve was constructed from 0.10 mg/L to 3.00 mg/L with the goodness of linearity (R² = 0.9996). The limits of detection and quantification (LOD and LOQ) were estimated, i.e., 0.029 mg/L and 0.087 mg/L, respectively. The 8-hydroxyquinoline was applied to real rock samples, demonstrating favorable precision (RSD = 0.34 %-1.8 %) and no remarkable differences were found compared to the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) as a reference measurement approach.

Sarine scrap usually comprises about $40\%$ of the raw fish in processing. The purpose of this study is to establish the desirable methods for proteinaceous materials from the sardine scrap through autolysis or enzymatic digestion and to convert them into useful by-products such as sardine sauce. Sardine scrap was chopped and mixed with equal weight of water, and be hydrolyzed them by autolysis and/or by addition of commercial proteolytic enzyme and various concentrations of sodium chloride. The optimal conditions for hydrolysis of sardine scrap were revealed in temperature at $55^{\circ}C$ and 4 hours digestion with bromelain($0.4\%$) and commercial complex enzyme ($6.0\%$), and those conditions were also applicated in autolysis. The maximum hydrolyzing rate of protein and released amino nitrogen were $82.5\%,\;5.2\%$ through autolysis, $84.3\%,\;5.8\%$ by bromelain digestion and $92.5\%,\;5.9\%$ by complex enzyme, respectively. In the products prepared from sardine scrap through autolysis or bromelain digestion, hypoxanthine was dominant, as $17.4 {\mu}mole/g$, dry matter for autolysis and $16.0 {\mu}mole/g$, dry matter, for bromelain digestion among the nucleotidcs and their related compounds, respectively. The abundant free amino acids were leucine, glutamic acid, lysnie, valine and alanine. The contents of those amino acids were $51.3\%,\;48.3\%$ of the total free amino acids, respectively. And the contents of 5'-IMP and TMAO were negligible but total creatinine was developed in value from $9.2\%\;to\;10\%$ of total extracted nitrogen. The flavor of sardine sauce prepared from sardine scrap by autolysis or enzyme digestion were not inferior to that of traditional Korean soy sauce by sensory evaluation.

The 21 livestock farms considering future installation of biogas systems were studied. These farms were examined how to raise the livestock, to treat manure, to operate facility with respect to manure characteristics. The 15 farms out of 21 farms have applied to the marine dumping and consignment treatment for treating manure and even farms which have equipped liquid fertilizing system have less capacity facility than legal standards. Characteristics of manure were affected by the scale of swine barn, clean water usage, frequency of cleaning, cleaning method, feces-urine separating method, etc. Retention time in storage (over 20 days) has resulted in lower concentration of organic matter which could reduce biogas production. This indicates that systematic barn management system is required. Inhibition tests showed that disinfectant and citric acid did not affected digestion rates at 10 times higher concentration than recommendation. However hypochlorous acid is likely to affect the anaerobic microbial activity.

The blocked N-terminus and N-terminal sequence of soybean B-amylase were aetermined by analyzing the acidic peptides derived on peptic digestion of the enzyme. The acidic peptides were separated from the digest on a Dowex 50$\times$2 column(1X5cm) and purified by reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC). The major acidic peptide, PEP-1, was a heptapeptlde. The N-terminal 7 amino acid sequence of soybean B-amylase was deduced to be acetyl-Ala-Thf-Ser-Asp-Ser-Asn-Met- from the results of sequence analysis of PEP-1 and amino acid analysis of other acidic peptides.

In order to investigate the hypocholesteremic effect of soybean perptides, soybean protein(ISP), casein(CNP), their peptic hydrolyzates fractionated by acid precipitation at different pH's(SHT, SH8, SH6, SH4, CHT, CH5, CH4) and amino acid mixtures of the same composition as the proteins(SAA, CAA) were fed to rats and the concentration of serum cholesterol was measured. Then in vitro digestibility and molecular weight distribution of the peptides by pepticpancreatic hydrolysis was measured by FPLC. The lower the in vitro digestibility of peptides is, the lower the concentration of serum cholesterol becomes(r=0.986) and the higher the ratio of macropeptides is, the lower the concentration of serum cholesterol becomes(r=-0.932) in rats. These results suggest that the in vitro digestibility of peptides has close relationship to the concentration of serum cholesterol in rats and non-digestible meacropeptides or polypeptides especially more than 1 kDa, formed through digestion in gut, may lower the serum cholesterol in rats.
