Mycobacterium sp. strain JCl DSM 3803 grown in methanol showed no methanol dehydrogenase or oxidase activities found in mast methylotrophic bacteria and yeasts, respectively. Even though the methanol-grown cells exhibited a little methanol-dependent oxidation by cytochrome c-dependent methanol dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase, they were not the key enzymes responsible for the methanol oxidation of the cells, in that the cells contained no c-type cytochrome and the methanol oxidizing activity from the partially purified alcohol dehydrogenase was too low, respectively. In substrate switching experiments, we found that only a catalase-peroxidase among the three types of catalase found in glucose-grown cells was highly expressed, in the methanol-grown cells and that its activity was relatively high during the exponential growth phase in Mycobacterium sp. JCl. Therefore, we propose that catalase-peroxidase is an essential enzyme responsible for the methanol metabolism directly Of indirectly in Mycobacterium sp. JCl.

This study was done to know a kind and change (transition) of enzymes produceed by Streptomyces halstedii ssp. scabies SA1-27 and Streptomyces violaceusinger C1-6 which showed good lignolytic activity and a good decolorization ratio of remazol brilliant blue R(RBBR) dye. These strains were isolated from soil and identified by the author. The basal medium containg 0.2% glucose was used to measure enzyme activity, Lignin peroxidase 1 (Lip 1) was measured by the methods of Choi, and Bourbonnais and Paice. Lignin peroxidase 2 (Lip 2) was measured by the methods of Ishida et al and Ramachandra et al using 2.4-dichlorophenol(2.4 DCP), manganese peroxidase(Mnp), veratryl alcohol oxidase (VAO), and laccase. They were measured by each of the methods of Choi and Paszczynski et al, and Bourbonnais and Paice, and De Jong et al. In the results, the kind of enzymes produced by Streptomyces halstedii ssp. scabies SA1-27 were Lip 1, Lip 2, VAO, and laccase, and their activities indicated the highest value as each 4.95 nmol/mg protein, $8.45({\times}100^{-3})unit$, 10.25 nmol/mg protein, 9.20 nmol/mg protein on the sixth day of the culture and decreased gradually over time. The kind of enzymes produced by Streptomyces violaceusinger C1-6 were Lip 1, Lip 2, Mnp, VAO, and laccase, and their activities indicated the highest value as each 4.90 nmol/mg protein, $13.85({\times}100^{-3})unit$, 3.10 nmol/mg protein, 11.30 nmol/mg protein, 4.45 nmol/mg protein on the sixth day of the culture and decreased gradually over time. Consequently, the author knew the fact that there were few differences in the kind and quantity of enzymes produced by the two Streptomyces strains, but all enzyme activities indicated the highest value on the sixth day of the culture and decreased gradually over time.

생쥐에서의 으름의 열매 추출물의 경구 투여가 알코올로 인한 급성 간독성 상태에서 간보호 효과에 대한 영향을 조사 하였다. 즉, 생쥐 (C57BL/6)에게 1주간 으름 열매 추출물을 투여 하고 희생 전 알코올의 경구 투여를 통해 급성 알코올 간독성을 유발한 후 간 조직 형상, 간 기능 지표(ALT, AST), 간 세포내 GSH 합성 효소(GCLM, GCLC, GSS)의 mRNA 발현량, GSH 농도의 측정, 산화 스트레스 지표인 NOX4의 mRNA 발현량과 염증 반응 지표인 TNF-${\alpha}$의 mRNA 발현량을 조사 하였다. 그 결과, 으름 열매 추출물의 경구 투여는 알코올로 유발된 급성 간독성 상태에서 간 조직내 지방의 축적을 완화 하였고, 혈청 AST, ALT 수치를 개선하였으며, 간조직 내 항산화 물질인 GSH의 농도를 증가시켰다. 더불어 활성산소기를 생성하는 NOX4의 mRNA 발현을 억제 하는 것으로 분석되었으며 염증 반응 지표인 TNF-의 mRNA 발현도 억제 하는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 으름의 열매 추출물은 알코올로 유발된 산화 스트레스, 염증 반응에 대한 간보호 효과 가능성을 나타내는 것으로 판단된다.

갈화와 갈근이 알코올성 간손상 흰쥐의 알코올 대사효소계에 미치는 영항을 구명하기 위하여 알코올을 투여한 흰쥐에게 갈화와 갈근 열수추출물을 2수준으로 나누어 5주간 급여한 후 그 효과를 관찰하였다. 체중증가량, 식이섭취량과 식이효율은 알코올 투여시 감소하였으며 갈화와 갈근추출물 급여로 회복되는 경향을 보였다. 장기 무게에 미치는 칡추출물의 영향은 알코올 투여로 증가된 간, 뇌와 심장 무게를 감소시켰는데 갈화가 갈근에 비하여 뇌와 심장 무게의 감소효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 알코올 대사효소 활성 변화에서 알코올 투여시 유의적으로 증가된 ADH와 MEOS 활성은 칡추출물 급여시 감소된 반면 AlDH 활성은 대조군에서 유의적으로 감소되었는데 칡추출물 급여시 그 활성이 증가되었다. MAO 활성과 과산화수소 함량도 알코올 투여시 증가되었으며 갈화와 갈근 열수추출물 급여시 유의적으로 감소되었다. 이상의 결과에서 갈화와 갈근 열수추출물 급여는 알코올 중독된 흰쥐의 알코올 대사계 효소 활성 변화에 영향을 미쳐 알코올성 간손상 완화에 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 천연 미백소재 개발을 위하여 광곽향 추출물과 광곽향 추출물에서 분리한 활성물질의 멜라닌 생성에 연관된 생리활성을 분석하였다. 광곽향 추출물은 $100{\mu}g/mL$ 이하에서 세포 독성이 없는 것으로 확인되었으며 free radical 소거능(DPPH)과 superoxide radical 소거능 결과는 각각 $IC_{50}=24.2{\pm}2.85{\mu}g/mL$, $IC_{50}=118{\pm}0.43{\mu}g/mL$을 나타내었다. B16 melanoma 세포에서의 멜라닌 생합성 저해 효과는 $20{\mu}g/mL$ 농도의 광곽향 추출물을 72 h 동안 처리한 세포에서 멜라닌 억제율이 23 %로 나타났으며, $50{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 세포 내 tyrosinase의 활성을 18 % 저해하였다. 이러한 광곽향 추출물의 활성물질을 분리하여 $^{1}H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR, Mass analysis 등의 기기분석을 실시한 결과 sesquiterpene 계열의 활성물질인 patchouli alcohol으로 동정되었고, patchouli alcohol의 free radical 소거능과 superoxide radical 소거능 결과는 각각 $IC_{50}=3.14{\pm}0.12{\mu}g/mL$, $IC_{50}=49{\pm}3.24{\mu}g/mL$을 나타내었다. 또한 멜라닌 저해효과를 확인한 결과 $IC_{50}=3.9{\mu}g/mL$으로 나타났으며, $10{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 세포 내 tyrosinase의 활성을 40 % 저해하였다. Western blot을 이용하여 tyrosinase와 tyrosinase related protein-2 (TRP-2) 단백질의 발현 감소를 확인하였다. 그러므로 광곽향 추출물과 patchouli alcohol은 우수한 미백 효능을 갖는 화장품 소재로서 개발 가능성이 클 것으로 기대된다.

The development of glucose biosensors has been attracting much attention because of their importance in monitoring glucose in the human body; such sensors are used to diagnose diabetes and related human diseases. Thanks to the high selectivity, sensitivity to glucose detection, and relatively low-cost fabrication of enzyme-immobilized electrochemical glucose sensors, these devices are recognized as one of the most intensively investigated glucose sensor types. In this work, ZnO nanofibers were synthesized using an electrospinning method with polyvinyl alcohol zinc acetate as precursor material. Using the synthesized ZnO nanofibers, we fabricated glucose biosensors in which glucose oxidase was immobilized on the ZnO nanofibers. The sensors were used to detect a wide range of glucose from 10 to 700 M with a sensitivity of $10.01nA/cm^2-{\mu}M$, indicating that the ZnO nanofiber-based glucose sensor can be used for the detection of glucose in the human body. The control of nanograins in terms of the size and crystalline quality of the individual nanofibers is required for improving the glucose-sensing abilities of the nanofibers.

Pediococcus에서 추출된 lactate oxidase(LOD)를 poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)에 고정화하여 2전극계로 구성된 lactate 바이오센서를 제조하였다. Lactate는 LOD 효소와의 반응에서 생성되는 $H_2O_2$를 전기화학적으로 금(Au)위에 형성시킨 Pt-black 층에서 산화시켜 정량 할 수 있었다. Pt-black으로 만들어진 센서는 과산화수소에 대해서 낮은 전위(+300 mV vs. Ag/AgCl)에서 큰 산화전류를 보여주었으며, ascorbic acid, acetaminophen, uric acid 등과 같이 산화되기 쉬운 산화 종들의 영향을 감소시켜주었다. 외부보호막으로는 다양한 종류의 친수성 폴리우레탄을 사용하였다. 센서는 in vitro 방식으로 흐름계와 비흐름계 모두에서 성능을 평가하였다. 제작된 센서는 0.05 M NaCl을 포함하는 0.05 M 인산염 완충용액(pH 7.6)에서 성능을 시험하였으며, 0.1 mM에서 9.0 mM의 lactate 농도구간에서 직선적 감응성을 나타내었다. 최적화된 센서는 $4^{\circ}C$ 완충용액에 보관하였으며, 25일 이상 감응도(sensitivity)가 거의 변화하지 않았다.

This study was performed to investigate the antioxidant mechanism of tomato wine with varying lycopene content in rats fed a high fat diet (HFD). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=10 per group) and fed an HFD (35% of total energy from fat) plus ethanol (7.2% of total energy from alcohol), tomato wine with varying lycopene content (0.425 mg%, 1.140 mg% or 2.045 mg% lycopene) or an isocaloric control diet for 6 weeks. Mice fed HFD plus ethanol significantly increased erythrocyte hydrogen peroxide and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels with increases in activities of erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione reductase (GR) compared to pair-fed rats. Supplementation of tomato wine with varying lycopene content decreased ethanol-mediated increases of erythrocyte lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme activities in HFD-fed rats, and tomato wine with higher lycopene appeared to be more effective. Tomato wine also dose-dependently lowered TBARS levels with decreased pro-oxidant enzyme, xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity in plasma of HFD-fed rats. In contrast to erythrocytes, the inhibitory effects of tomato wine on hepatic lipid peroxidation were linked to increased hepatic antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) and alcohol metabolizing enzyme (alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase) activities. There were no significant differences in hepatic XOD and cytochrome P450-2E1 activities among the groups. Together, our data suggest that tomato wine fortified with lycopene has the potential to protect against ethanol-induced oxidative stress via regulation of antioxidant or pro-oxidant enzymes and alcohol metabolizing enzyme activities in plasma, erythrocyte and liver.

Cytochrome P45O is an oxidase involved in oxidation of alcohol and is known to be an activator of carcinogen. The present study was performed to study the effect of alcohol and cold stress on the expression of Cytochrome P450 IIEl (CYPIIE1) In the liver and salivary glands in rats by an immunoblot analysis. Sixteen rats were divided into 4 groups; 1)rats belonging to group I were allowed to take 15%(v/v) ethyl alcohol as a drink ad libitum: 2)rats of group II were bathed in cold water for 30 sec twice a day (during the one-week experiment); 3)rats comprising group III were received alcohol and cold stress as described above; 4)rats of group IV were selected as a control. The rat were sacrificed at the end of the one-week experiment. The livers and parotid and submandibular salivary glands were removed and stored at -2$0^{\circ}C$ until use. The stored organs were homogenized for 10 sec and the supernatants were obtained by centrifugation. The proteins of the supernatants were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and subjected to Western blotting. The blotted membranes were incubated with polyclonal antibodies to CYPIIEI . The obtained results were as follows : 1. The expression of CYPIIEl was apparently negative in the liver and salivary glands of group IV, wheras its expression was marked in the experiment groups I, II. and III. 2. No difference in the expression of CYPIIEl in the liver and salivary glands was observed between the experiment groups I, II, and III. 3. Among the experiment groups, the expression of CYPIIE1 in the liver was much greater than in the salivary glands. The expression of CYPIIE1 in the submandibular gland was weakly positive but was greater than in the carotid gland.
