The study was conducted to determine the nutiritional value of Masoor (Lens esculenta) in raw and cooked forms. Supplement value of various types of meat i.e. poultry, mutton and beef at 10, 15, and 20 percent levels for dite containing cooked Masoor was also assessed. Nutritional value of Masoor was determined by chemical analysis as well as through rat assay. Masoor contained an average of 23.18 percent protein and less than two percent fibre. Conventional method of cooking resulted in about 2 per cent increase in Masoor protein. Masoor had 0.83 percent of lysine and cooking destroyed 18 percent of it. Other amino acids in Masoor also showed losses on cooking. Protein efficiency ratio (PER) of diets containing raw Masoor was 1.49 and was reduced to 1.44 by cooking. Cooking of Masoor did not alter true digestibility (TD) percentage. However, net protein utilization (NPU) was improved from 44.60 in raw to 47.77 in cooked. Diets containing cooked Masoor and supplemented with different types of meat significantly improved PER (1.45 to 1.65), TD 76.03 to 87.84 percent and NPU 42.84 to 50.72 percent over non supplemented diets. 20 percent level of supplemented meat showed comparatively better results than other levels in case of improvement in PER, TD and NPU.

Two dimensional-fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE) is an emerging technique for comparative proteomics, which improves the reproducibility and reliability of differential protein expression analysis between samples. The purpose of this study was to investigate bovine pregnancy-specific proteins in the proteome between bovine pregnant and non-pregnant serum using DIGE technique. Serums of 2 pregnant Holstein dairy cattle at day 21 after artificial insemination and those of 2 non-pregnant were used in this study. The pre-electrophoretic labeling of pregnant and non-pregnant serum proteins were mixed with Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescent dyes, respectively, and an internal standard was labeled with Cy2. Labeled proteins with Cy2, Cy3, and Cy5 were separated together in a single gel, and then were detected by fluorescence image analyzer. The 2D DIGE method using fluorescence CyDye DIGE flour had higher sensitivity than conventional 2D gel electrophoresis, and showed reproducible results. Approximately 1,500 protein spots were detected by 2D DIGE. Several proteins showed a more than 1.5-fold up and down regulation between non-pregnant and pregnant serum proteins. The differentially expressed proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. A total 16 protein spots were detected to regulate differentially in the pregnant serum, among which 7 spots were up-regulated proteins such as conglutinin precursor, modified bovine fibrinogen and IgG1, and 6 spots were down-regulated proteins such as hemoglobin, complement component 3, bovine fibrinogen and IgG2a three spots were not identified. The identified proteins demonstrate that early pregnant bovine serum may have several pregnancy-specific proteins, and these could be a valuable information for the development of pregnancy-diagnostic markers in early pregnancy bovine serum.

최근 단백질 및 도메인과 관련된 방대한 양의 데이타들이 인터넷상에 공표되고 축적됨에 따라, 단백질간의 상호작용에 대한 예측 시스템의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 데이타를 이용하여 계산적으로 도메인 조합 쌍에 기반하여 단백질의 상호작용 확률을 예측하는 새로운 단백질 상호작용 예측 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 예측 시스템에서는 기존의 도메인 쌍(domain pair)의 제약성을 극복하기 위하여 도메인 조합(domain combination)과 도메인 조합 쌍(domain combination pair)의 개념이 새롭게 도입하였다. 그리고 도메인 조합 쌍(domain combination pair 또는 dc-pair)을 단백질 상호작용의 기본 단위로 간주하고 예측을 시도한다. 예측 시스템은 크게 예측 준비 과정과 서비스 과정으로 구성되어 있다. 예측 준비 과정에서는 상호작용이 있는 것으로 알려진 단백질 쌍 집합과 상호작용이 없는 것으로 추정되는 단백질 도메인 쌍 집합으로부터 각각 도메인 조합 정보와 그 출현 빈도를 추출한다. 추출된 정보들은 출현 확률 배열(Appearance Probability Matrix 또는 AP matrix)로 불리는 배열 구조에 저장된다. 논문에서는 출현 확률 배열에 기반을 두어, 단백질-단백질 상호작용을 예측하는 확률식 PIP(Primary Interaction Probability)를 고안하고, 고안된 확률식을 이용하여, 상호작용이 있는 것으로 알려진 단백질 쌍 집합과 상호작용이 없는 것으로 추정되는 단백질 도메인 쌍 집합의 확률 값 분포를 생성시킨다. 예측서비스 과정에서는 예측 준비 과정에서 얻어진 분포와 확률식을 이용하여 임의의 단백질 쌍의 상호작용 확률을 계산한다. 예측 모델의 유효성은 효모(yeast)에서 상호작용이 있는 것으로 보고된 단백질 쌍 집합과 상호작용이 없는 것으로 추정되는 단백질 쌍 집합을 이용하여 검증하였다. DIP(Database of Inter-acting Proteins)의 상호작용이 있는 것으로 알려진 효모 단백질 쌍 집합의 80%를 학습 집단으로 사용했을 때, 86%의 sensitivity와 56%의 specificity를 나타내어, 도메인을 기반으로 한 기존의 예측 시스템에 비해서 우월한 예측 정확도를 보여주었다. 이와 같은 예측 정확도의 개선은 본 예측 시스템이 상호작용의 기본 단위로 dc-pair를 채택한 점과 분류를 위하여 새롭게 고안하여 사용한 PIP식이 유효했던 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of different types of milking instrument and season on milk composition (fat, protein, non-fat milk solids, milk urea nitrogen and somatic cell count) on Holstein-Friesian lactating cows. Raw milk samples were collected from 20 automatic milking system (AMS) installed dairy farms and 85 conventional milking system (CMS) installed dairy farms. Milk fat, protein, NFMS and MUN contents did not changed between AMS and CMS and different seasons. On the other hand, the average SCC in AMS was $239{\times}10^3cells/mL$ which was lower than in CMS ($373{\times}10^3cells/mL$, (p<0.05). In conclusion, present results indicated that SCC in milk might be influenced by AMS. However, this area needed more study to confirm the reason of reducing SCC content from AMS.

Ligand-based quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies were performed on indolinones derivatives as a potential inhibitor of the protein tyrosine kinase of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) by comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) implemented in the SYBYL packages. The initial X-ray structure of docked ligand (Su5402) to FGFR was used to minimize the 27 training set molecules using TRIPOS force field. Seven models were generated using CoMFA and CoMSIA with grid spacing 2 ${\AA}$. After the PLS analysis the best predicted CoMSIA model with hydrophobicity, hydrogen bond donor and acceptor property showed that a leave-one out(LOO) cross validated value $({r^2}_{cv})^$ and non-cross validated conventional value $({r^2}_{ncv})^$ are 0.543 and 0.938, respectively.

Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies on 59 cinnamaldehyde analogues as Farnesyl Protein Transferase (FPTase) inhibitors were investigated using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) with the PLS region-focusing method. Forty-nine training set inhibitors were used for CoMFA with two different grid spacings, $2{\AA}\;and\;1{\AA}$ Ten compounds, which were not used in model generation, were used to validate the CoMFA models. After the PLS analysis, the best predictive CoMFA model showed that the cross-validated value $(r^2_{cv})$ and the non-cross validated conventional value$(r^2_{ncv})$ are 0.557 and 0.950, respectively. From the CoMFA contour maps, the steric and electrostatic properties of cinnamaldehyde analogues can be identified and verified.

All drugs have both favorable therapeutic and untoward adverse effects. Conventional opioid analgesics possess both analgesia and adverse reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, and respiratory depression. The opioid ligand binds to ${\mu}$ opioid receptor and non-selectively activates two intracellular signaling pathways: the G protein pathway induce analgesia, while the ${\beta}$-arrestin pathway is responsible for the opioid-related adverse reactions. An ideal opioid should activate the G protein pathway while deactivating the ${\beta}$-arrestin pathway. Oliceridine (TRV130) has a novel characteristic mechanism on the action of the ${\mu}$ receptor G protein pathway selective (${\mu}$-GPS) modulation. Even though adverse reactions (ADRs) are significantly attenuated, while the analgesic effect is augmented, the some residual ADRs persist. Consequently, a G protein biased ${\mu}$ opioid ligand, oliceridine, improves the therapeutic index owing to increased analgesia with decreased adverse events. This review article provides a brief history, mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and ADRs of oliceridine.

Although considerable effort has been devoted in the mass spectrometric analysis of phosphorylated peptides, successful identification of multi-phosphorylated peptides in enzymatically digested protein samples still remains challenging. The ionization behavior of multi-phosphorylated peptides appears to be somewhat different from that of mono- or di-phosphorylated peptides. In this study, we demonstrate increased sensitivity of detection of multi-phosphorylated peptides of beta casein without using phosphopeptide enrichment techniques. Proteinase K digestion alone increased the detection limit of beta casein multi-phosphorylated peptides in the LC-MS analysis almost 500 fold, compared to conventional trypsin digestion (~50 pmol). In order to understand this effect, various factors affecting the ionization of phosphopeptides were investigated. Unlike ionizations of phosphopeptides with minor modifications, those of multi-phosphorylated peptides appeared to be subject to effects such as selectively suppressed ionization by more ionizable peptides and decreased ionization efficiency by multi-phosphorylation. The enhanced detection limit of multi-phosphorylated peptides resulting from proteinase K digestion was validated using a complex protein sample, namely a lysate of HEK 293 cells. Compared to trypsin digestion, the numbers of phosphopeptides identified and modification sites per peptide were noticeably increased by proteinase K digestion. Non-specific proteases such as proteinase K and elastase have been used in the past to increase detection of phosphorylation sites but the effectiveness of proteinase K digestion for multi-phosphorylated peptides has not been reported.

원하는 유전자를 배큘로바이러스의 감염에 의하여 초파리 Drosophila melanogaster S2 세포에 도입하는 배큘로바이러스/S2 세포 발현 시스템은 강력하고 안전한 배큘로바이러스의 장점과 세포가 파괴되지 않는 S2 세포의 장점을 접목한 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 외래 목적 단백질로 발현 모니터링이 손쉬운 녹색형광단백질(green fluorescent protein)을 발현시키는 재조합 배큘로바이러스를 이용하여 S2 세포에의 감염조건들에 대한 영향 연구를 수행하였다. 재조합 배큘로바이러스의 S2 세포에의 감염조건으로는 multiplicity of infection(MOI), 초기 세포 수, 배큘로바이러스 용액이 세포를 적시는 최소 부피, 배큘로바이러스를 첨가한 후 제거하기까지의 배양시간 그리고 배큘로바이러스 제거 후 S2 세포를 혈청이 존재하는 배지에서 키우는 배양시간을 선정하였다. MOI는 일반적으로 크게 하는 것이 높은 발현 수율을 위하여 좋은 결과를 보였으나 세포배양이 길어지는 경우 세포독성의 문제가 심각해 질 수 있고 실제적인 배양에서는 높은 MOI를 유지하는 것이 불가능하므로 사용하는 100 mm 배양접시에서 배큘로바이러스와 S2 세포가 접촉하는 동안의 변수들인 MOI를 적정의 값인 30으로, 배큘로바이러스 배양 시간을 1.5 시간으로 고정함으로써 배큘로바이러스가 숙주 세포인 S2에 대해 미치는 세포독성을 낮출 수 있었다. 또한, 배큘로바이러스 최소 부피는 배양접시에서 사용부피의 2.4％에서 가장 좋은 결과를 보였으며 배큘로바이러스 용액을 10배 농축시킴으로써 이 부피를 맞추기 위해 첨가시키는 새로운 배지의 비율을 높임으로써 결과적으로 배큘로바이러스에 의한 세포독성을 줄일 수 있었다. 이를 통하여 세포 파쇄 및 배양접시 표면에서 탈착되는 것을 막고 높은 생장 상태를 유지해서 감염 효율도 높일 수 있었다. 배큘로바이러스의 감염이 끝난 후의 관여하는 변수들인 감염 후 배양시간은 24시간에서 최대의 녹색형광단백질의 발현을 나타내었다.
