Using gel filtration chromatography, high molecular silk fibroin with high purity was obtained and silk flbroin microsphere particles (SFMP) could be simply made by spray dryer method. Also, some of the physicochemical properties of SFMP and morphology were investigated. The average molecular weight of pure silk fibroin protein dissolved in calcium chloride is about 61,500g/㏖ as measured by gel permeation chromatography. SFMP was spherical in shape, and particles, sized average of 2 ${\pm}$ 10 ${\mu}$, were observed by SEM and particle analyzer, respectively. Obtaining microspheres particles by spray dryer method accelerated the transition from the random coil to the $\beta$-sheet structure during spray dryer treatment. It was identified by the basic fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of SFMP. The swelling ratio of SFMP is majorly dependent on the pH of the solution, not on the occurred gelation. The characteristic structure, which might be applicable to immobilization of drugs is superior to other matrix materials for the use of biomaterials with skin affinity.

Bacillus subtilis YL-1004 was isolated from soil for the development of agents to control dental caries. This strain produced an extracellular lytic enzyme that hydrolyzed the Streptococcus mutans cell wall. The lytic enzyme was purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography and gel permeation chromatography to give a single band on SDS-PAGE and non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the enzyme was deduced from SDS-PAGE and gel chromatography to be 38 kDa and the PI to be 4.3 from isoelectric focusing. Sirty $\%$ of its lytic activity remained after incubation at $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, and its optimal temperature was $37^{\circ}C$ . The enzyme showed its highest activity at pH 8.0 and was stable at pHs ranging from 4.0 to 9.0. Treatment with several modifiers showed that a cysteine residue was involved in the active site of the enzyme. This lytic enzyme from Bacillus subtilis YL-1004 exhibited specificity towards Streptococci and also showed autolytic activity on Bacillus subtilis YL-1004.

The purpose of present study was to examine the efficacy of PAB (para-amino benzamidine) affinity column chromatography, pasteurization ($60^{\circ}C$ heat treatment for 10 h), and lyophilization steps, employed in the manufacture of urokinase from human urine, in the removal and/or inactivation of urine-born viruses. Bovine herpes virus (BHV) and Murine encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) were selected for this study. Samples from the relevant stages of the production process were spiked with the viruses and the amount of virus in each fraction was quantified by 50% tissue culture infectious dose ($TCID_{50}$). BHV and EMCV were effectively partitioned from urokinase during PAB chromatography with the log reduction factors of 6.71 and 5.27, respectively. Pasteurization was a robust and effective step in inactivating BHV and EMCV, of which titers were reduced from initial titers of $8.65\;log_{10}\;TCID_{50}$ and $7.81\;log_{10}\;TCID_{50}$, respectively, to undetectable levels within 1 hour of treatment. The log reduction factors achieved during lyophilization were 2.06 for BHV and 4.54 for EMCV. These results indicate that the production process for urokinase has sufficient virus reducing capacity to achieve a high margin of virus safety.

The effect of Sodium Butyrate (NaBu) on the N-linked oligosaccharide structure of Erythropoietin (EPO) was investigated. Recombinant human EPO was produced by CHO cells grown in an $MEM{\alpha}$ medium with or without 5 mM NaBu, and purified from the culture supernatants using a heparin-sepharose affinity column and immunoaffinity column. The N-linked oligosaccharides were released enzymatically and isolated by paper chromatography. The isolated oligosaccharides were then labeled with a fluorescent dye, 2-aminobenzamide, and analyzed with MonoQ anion exchange chromatography and GlycosepN amide chromatography for the assignment of a GU (glucose unit) vague. A glycan analysis by HPLC showed that the most significant characteristic effect of NaBu was a reduction in the proportion of glycans with Sri-and tetrasialylated oligodaccharides from $21.30\%$ (tri-) and $14.86\%$ (tetra-) in the control cultures (without NaBu) to $8.72\%$ (tri-) and $1.25\%$ (tetra-) in the NaBu-treated cultures, respectively. It was also found that the proportion of asialo-glycan increased from $12.54\%\;to\;23.6\%$ when treated with NaBu.

Proteolytic processing of the dengue virus serotype 2 polyprotein precursor is catalyzed by a host signal peptidase and a virus encoded two-component protease consisting of the nonstructural proteins, NS2B and NS3. We expressed in Escherichia coli the NS2B, NS3(pro) and NS2B-NS3 proteins from the dengue virus type 2 strain 16681 as N-terminal fusions with a hexahistidine affinity tag under the control of the inducible trc promoter. All fusion proteins were purified to >90% purity by detergent extraction of inclusion bodies and a single step metal chelate chromatography. Proteins were refolded on-column and recovered with yields of 0.5, 6.0 and 1.0 mg/l of E. coli culture that was grown to $OD_{600}=1.0$ for NS2B, NS3(pro) and NS2B-NS3, respectively. Purified proteins gave strong signals in Western blots using $Ni^{2+}-nitrilotriacetic$ acid as a probe for the presence of the polyHis tag. During the purification process, $(His)_{6}NS2B-NS3$ was apparently not autoproteolytically cleaved at the NS2B/NS3 site.

New proteomic techniques have been pioneered extensively in recent years, enabling the high-throughput and systematic analyses of cellular proteins in combination with bioinformatic tools. Furthermore, the development of such novel proteomic techniques facilitates the elucidation of the functions of proteins under stress or disease conditions, resulting in the discovery of biomarkers for responses to environmental stimuli. The ultimate objective of proteomics is targeted toward the entire proteome of life, subcellular localization biochemical activities, and the regulation thereof. Comprehensive analysis strategies of proteomics can be classified into three categories: (i) protein separation via 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) or liquid chromatography (LC), (ii) protein identification via either Edman sequencing or mass spectrometry (MS), and (iii) proteome quantitation. Currently, MS-based proteomics techniques have shifted from qualitative proteome analysis via 2-DE or 2D-LC coupled with off-line matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and on-line electrospray ionization (ESI) MS, respectively, toward quantitative proteome analysis. In vitro quantitative proteomic techniques include differential gel electrophoresis with fluorescence dyes. protein-labeling tagging with isotope-coded affinity tags, and peptide-labeling tagging with isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation. In addition, stable isotope-labeled amino acids can be in vivo labeled into live culture cells via metabolic incorporation. MS-based proteomics techniques extend to the detection of the phosphopeptide mapping of biologically crucial proteins, which ale associated with post-translational modification. These complementary proteomic techniques contribute to our current understanding of the manner in which life responds to differing environment.
