Sucrose synthase (EC 2.4.1.13) has been purified from the plant cytosolic fraction of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L. cv. Amethyst) nodules. The native enzyme had a molecular mass of $356{\pm}15kD$. The subunit molecular mass was $87{\pm}2kD$, and a tetrameric structure is proposed for sucrose synthase of chickpea nodule. Optimum activities in the sucrose cleavage and synthesis directions were at pH 6.5 and 9.0, respectively. The purified enzyme displayed typical hyperbolic kinetics with substrates in cleavage and synthesis reactions. Chickpea nodules sucrose synthase had a high affinity for UDP ($K_m$, $8.0{\mu}M$) and relatively low affinities for ADP ($K_m$, 0.23 mM), CDP ($K_m$, 0.87 mM), and GDP ($K_m$, 1.51 mM). The $K_m$ for sucrose was 29.4 mM. In the synthesis reaction, UDP-glucose ($K_m$, $24.1{\mu}M$) was a more effective glucosyl donor than ADP-glucose ($K_m$, 2.7 mM), and the $K_m$ for fructose was 5.4 mM. Divalent cations, such as $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Mn^{2+}$, stimulated the enzyme activity in both the cleavage and synthesis directions, and the enzyme was very sensitive to inhibition by $HgCl_2$ and $CuSO_4$.

Test-day records (n=13677) sampled from 896 ewes in 5-9 (${\mu}$=7.5) monthly test-days were used to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters of test-day yields, lactation milk yield (TMY), length of the milking period (DAYS) and three measures of persistency of milk yield in Boutsico dairy sheep. Τhe measures of persistency were the slope of the regression line (${\beta}$), the coefficient of variation (CV) of the test-day milk yields and the maximum to average daily milk yield ratio (MA). The estimates of variance components were obtained under a linear mixed model by restricted maximum likelihood. The heritability of test-day yields ranged from 0.15 to 0.24. DAYS were found to be heritable ($h^2$=0.11). Heritability estimates of ${\beta}$, CV and MA were 0.15, 0.13, 0.10, respectively. Selection for maximum lactation yields is expected to result in prolonged milking periods, high rates of decline of yields after peak production, variable test-day yields and higher litter sizes. Selection for flatter lactation curves would reduce lactation yields, increase slightly the length of the milking period and decrease yield variation as well as litter size. The most accurate prediction of TMY was obtained with a linear regression model with the first five test-day records.

Objectives : Ulcerative colitis is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disease in the gastrointestinal tract. We investigated whether Aurantii fructus immaturus (AFI) pharmacopuncture has antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. Methods : in vitro experiments, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, prevention on $H_2O_2$-induced cell death in RAW264.7 cell line, DNA fragmentation, and cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA expression induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), were analyzed to investigate antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effect of AFI pharmacopuncture. in vivo experiment, a murine model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis was used to examine the effect of AFI pharmacopuncture on CV12 at different doses of 5 ${\mu}l$, 0.5 ${\mu}l$, 0.05 ${\mu}l$ for 10 days. Body weight, colon length and macroscopic features were investigated. Results : AFI pharmacopuncture showed DPPH free radical scavenging and SOD active effects in a dose-dependent manner. AFI pharmacopuncture showed a protective effect against $H_2O_2$-induced cell injury and also attenuated LPS-induced COX-2 mRNA expression. In a DSS- induced colitis murine model, however, AFI pharmacopuncture at CV12 had no anti-inflammatory effects. Conclusions : The present results suggest that AFI pharmacopuncture extract may have anti- inflammatory and antioxidative effects in vivo test, but further research on the underlying mechanism is required.

The vaccine is biological pretreatment that improves immunity to a particular disease. We can get immunity from producing antibody with injection antigen which has ability to defense against the disease. The ELISA is the most widely used method to measure antibody titer. We have developed and performed validation of ELISA according to the guideline of KFDA and ICH. In this paper, we have verified ELISA method is an excellent method to measure the titer of anti-PA antibody. We have constructed recombinant protective antigen among anthrax toxins and used as antigen of ELISA. In this validation, we have evaluated precision (repeatability, interlaboratory precision), specificity, linearity(range) and LOD, which are validation articles suggested by guideline. Inter-person precision was replaced with inter-laboratory precision. From the results, we have confirmed high precision in all experiments with CV under 20%.

석유정제공장에서 사용된 폐촉매의 특성을 조사하여 바나듐 레독스 흐름전지용 소재인 전해액의 제조에 대하여 연구하였다. 석유정제공정에서 사용된 폐촉매의 총공극 부피, 비표면적 및 평균 기공크기는 BET법과 BJH법으로 계산하여 각각 3.96cc/g, 13.81m2/g, 1.15A 구하여 폐촉매에서 바나듐을 회수하여 전해액으로 제조 할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 폐촉매를 TG-DTA분석결과, $25^{\circ}C$부터 $700^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 중량손실이 약 23wt%였다. 폐촉매의 성분을 ICP 장비를 분석하여 황, 바나듐, 니켈, 알루미늄, 망간 철 구리 등의 원소를 확인하였다. 또한 TEM 장비로 측정한 결과 바나듐 외 다른 원소들이 결정성 클러스터가 밝은 점으로 명백하게 드러남을 알 수 있었다. 액액 추출법을 사용하여 폐촉매로 부터 바나듐을 99.25%로 분리하여 추출한 바나듐용액의 전기화학적 특성분석을 위해 CV(cyclic votammetry)측정한 결과, 산화/환원피크가 나타남으로서 전해질 용액으로서의 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 또한 폐촉매로 부터 추출된 바나듐 용액의 순도를 더욱 높여 전해질 용액을 제조하면 기존 상용화된 전해질 성능과 같은 것을 제조 할 것으로 사료된다.
