An alkaline proteinase secreted from Yarrowia lipolytica 504D was purified by salting-out and column chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was about 32,000 Da estimated by SDS-PAGE. The optimal condition for the activity of the enzyme was at pH 9.5 and $42^{\circ}C$ The enzyme was stable up to $45^{\circ}C$ and at the range of pH 4-10. Because the enzyme was inhibited by PMSF as well as EDTA, EGTA, and phenan-throlin, it is uncertain whether the enzyme is serine proteinase or metalloproteinase. However, almost all metal salts tested did not increase the enzyme activity, and Ca salt restored the activity of the enzyme inactivated by EDTA. Therefore, the purified enzyme seems to be an serine proteinase (E.C. 3.4.21.14).

Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the effects of different intracanal medicaments on chemical structure and microhardness of dentin. Materials and Methods: Fifty human dentin discs were obtained from intact third molars and randomly assigned into two control groups and three treatment groups. The first control group received no treatment. The second control group (no medicament group) was irrigated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), stored in humid environment for four weeks and then irrigated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The three treatment groups were irrigated with NaOCl, treated for four weeks with either 1 g/mL triple antibiotic paste (TAP), 1 mg/mL methylcellulose-based triple antibiotic paste (DTAP), or calcium hydroxide [$Ca(OH)_2$] and finally irrigated with EDTA. After treatment, one half of each dentin disc was subjected to Vickers microhardness (n = 10 per group) and the other half was used to evaluate the chemical structure (phosphate/amide I ratio) of treated dentin utilizing attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (n = 5 per group). One-way ANOVA followed by Fisher's least significant difference were used for statistical analyses. Results: Dentin discs treated with different intracanal medicaments and those treated with NaOCl + EDTA showed significant reduction in microhardness (p < 0.0001) and phosphate/amide I ratio (p < 0.05) compared to no treatment control dentin. Furthermore, dentin discs treated with TAP had significantly lower microhardness (p < 0.0001) and phosphate/amide I ratio (p < 0.0001) compared to all other groups. Conclusions: The use of DTAP or $Ca(OH)_2$ medicaments during endodontic regeneration may cause significantly less microhardness reduction and superficial demineralization of dentin compared to the use of TAP.

Biosorption of Pb was evaluated for Sargassum sagamianum. An adsorption equilibrium was reached in about 1 hr. The uptake capacity of Pb was 224.5 mg Pb/G biomass. The adsorption parameters for Pb were determined according to Langmuir and Frueundlich model. With increasing pH, more negative sites are becoming available for adsorption of Pb. When Ca and Mg concentration increases in Pb solution, Pb was selectively adsorbed. The Pb adsorbed by S. sagamianu could be desorbed by desorption process and the efficiency from 0.1M HCl, 0.1M HNO$_3$and 0.1M EDTA was above 95%. S. Sagamianum was reused 6 times and the total uptake was 736.8 mg Pb/g biomass.

The limited productivity of natural shell matrix proteins has hampered the investigation of their biochemical properties and practical applications, although biominerals in nature obtained by organic-inorganic assemblies have attractive mechanical and biological properties. Here, we prepared a vector for the expression of a fusion protein of a shell matrix protein from Pinctada fucata (named as GRP_BA) with the GRGDSP residue. The fusion protein of BA-RGD was simply produced in E. coli and purified through sequential steps including the treatment with $CaCl_2$ and EDTA solution for cell membrane washing, mechanical cell disruption and the application of non-ionic surfactant of Triton X-100 for BA-RGD inclusion body washing. The production yield was approximately 60 mg/L, any other protein band was not observed in SDS-PAGE and it was estimated that above 97% endotoxin was removed compared to the endotoxin level of whole cell. This study showed this simple and easy purification approach could be applied to the purification of BA-RGD fusion protein. It is expected that the protein could be utilized for the preparation of biominerals in practical aspects.

Myosin were prepared from red muscle and white muscle, and their ATPase activities were compared. Ca-ATPase activity of bovine myosin from red muscle was higher than that of myosin from white muscle, while Ca-ATPase activity of chicken myosin from red muscle differed hardly from that of myosin from whitemuscle. Atso EDTA-ATPase activity of bovine red muscle myosin was higher than that of white muscle myosin ,although EDTA-ATPase activity of chicken myosin from red muscle differed hardly from that of white muscle myosin. When myosins were treated with trypsin, bovine myosin from white muscle was hydrolysed moreeasily than red muscle myosin was. Chicken myosin from red muscle , however, was hydrolysed by trypsin more easily than white muscle myosin was.

Reactions of $(Et_4N)_2[MoOCl_5]$ with multidentate ligands containing nitrogen or/and oxygen donor atom (EDTA, DTPA, IDA, CyDTA, OX) produce a series of binuclear molybdate (V) complexes. The prepared Mo (V) complexes has been identified by Elemental Analysis, Infrared Spectra, Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectra, and Electronic Spectra. The electrochemical reduction mechanism has been studied by Cyclic voltammetry, Controlled Potential Coulometry, and Spectrophotometry in pH 3.571-10.375 acetate, borate, phosphate/sodium hydroxide, phosphate, ammonium/ammonia buffers. The cyclic voltammogram of the Mo-EDTA, DTPA, IDA, CyDTA complexes at pH < ca. 6.00 have shown two reduction waves. The first reduction wave shows two electron process and the second reduction wave shows two electron process. The cyclic voltammogram of the Mo-EDTA, DTPA, IDA, CyDTA complexes at pH < ca. 8.00 has shown one reduction wave. This reduction wave show four electron process. The cyclic voltammogram of the Mo-OX complex at pH < ca. 7.2 has shown one reduction wave. This reduction wave show four electron process.

This study investigated the extractability, solubility, Mg$^{2+}$-, Ca$^{2+}$- and EDTA-ATPase activity of actomyosin prepared from leg and breast muscle of dog meat. The actomyosin extractability of breast muscle(2,100.6 mg/l00 g) was higher than that of leg muscle(500.8 mg/l00 g). The Mg$^{2+}$-ATPase activity of actomyosin had a high ionic strength of 0.02$\sim$0.05 M KCI and did not differ between leg and breast muscle. The Ca$^{2+}$-ATPase activity of actomyosin had a high ionic strength of 0.02$\sim$0.10 M KCI and leg muscle had a higher level of Ca$^{2+}$-ATPase activity than breast muscle did. The EDTA-ATPase activity was lower in low ionic strength and showed higher in high ionic strength, and increased sharply with increasing ionic strength up to 0.3 M KCI. The solubility of actomyosin did not differ between leg and breast muscle, and the solubility started and ended at KCI concentrations of 0.35 M and 0.4 M, respectively.

In order to compare and examine the general characteristics of myofibrillar proteins which is an important protein source as a food resource and relates directly with muscle contraction, we have extracted the myofibrillar proteins from squid and clam. The ionic strength of myofibrillar proteins connected with Ca-ATPase activity, Mg-ATPase activity and EDTA-ATPase activity showed distinct differences between squid and clam. In the activity-pH curve, actomyosin of the clam had a weak biphasic response. In the low concentration of dioxane, myofibrillar proteins of the squid showed a sudden decrease in activity but myofibrillar proteins of the clam showed in increase in activity. Ethanol and metanol in low concentration caused myosin and HMM from the squid and clam to increase their activities. If we cause modification by NEM, under 10-6M concentration, the activity was increased but above 10-5M concentration, there was a sudden decrease in activity.
