Mechanism of the cyclodextrin (CD) production reaction by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) using swollen extrusion starch as substrate was investigated emphasizing the structural features of starch granule. The degree of gelatinization was identified to be the most representative structural characteristic of swollen starch. The most suitable degree of gelatinization of swollen starch for CD production was around 63.52%. The structural transformation of starch granule during enzyme reaction was also followed by measuring the changes of the degree of gelatinization, microcrystallinity, and accessible and inaccessible portion to CGTase action of residual swollen starch. The adsorption phenomenon of CGTase to swollen starch was also examined under various conditions. The inhibition mechanism of CGTase by various CDs was identified to be competitive, most severely by a-CD. The mechanism elucidated will be used for development of a kinetic model describes CD production reaction in heterogeneous enzyme reaction system utilizing swollen extrusion starch.

The several enzymes reaction which involve the quality change of fresh vegetables, such as chlorophylase, polyphenol oxidase, lypoxygenase, C-S-lyase, myrosinase and enzymes related lignification were reviewed. Numerous enzyme reaction continuously proceeds to the deterioration of vegetables after harvest due to the respiration and biochemical metabolism reaction, especially in case of physical injuring. It is extremely important to inhibit and to control these enzyme reaction in order to maintain the organoleptic and nutritional quality of fresh vegetables.

Cellulomonas flavigena KIST 321이 생산하는 균체외 cellulose 분해효소를 gel filtration법과 ion-exchange chromatography법으로 3종의 다른 효소를 분리하여 이들을 A, B, 및 C 효소로 명명하였다. 분리된 각 효소를 결정적 기질에 처리하여 일어나는 기질의 구조변화를 적회전 분광법과 X-ray crystallography법으로 측정하여 다음 결론을 얻었다. B효소는 결정성 cellulosem이 구성단위인 glucopyranose의 불안정화로 그 결정도를 감소시키는 $C_1$형의 효소이며 A 및 C 효소는 $C_x$형의 효소로 B 효소의 반응생성물에 작용하여 glucose를 생산하였다. 이들 각 효소의 작용에서 본균의 cellulase의 작용기작을 고찰하였다.

A new assay method for delta-l-dehydrogenated-3-ketoco-rticosteroid in the presence of proteinous material or whole-cell-enzyme and 3-ketocorticosteroid has been developed. This method makes use of the linear relationship between the ratio of absorbances at 265 nm and at 242 nm and the fractional concentration of delta-1-3-ketosteroid. Theoretical values were calculated based on the absorbances of proteinous material at fixed concentrations of the 3-ketosteroid and delta-1-dehydrogenated-3-ketosteroid. The values obtained experimentally showed good agreement with the values obtained experimentally showed good agreement with the values theoretically predicted. The new assay method developed for the steroid mixtiure containing proteinous material is of some practical importance. The use of such assay method enables one to determine the enzyme activity and the rate of enzyme reaction or conversion rather quickly, easily and accurately. By the use of this assay method, the reaction kinetics of whole-cell-enzyme has also been studied. It was found that it followed the simple Michaelis-Menten type enzyme kinetics. Also the reversibility of this reaction with actively metabolizing cell was examined. It was found that delta-l-dehydrogenated-3-ketosteroid could not be hydrogenated reversibly to 3-ketosteroid by this enzyme system.

The enzyme-catalyzed Henry reaction was realized using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as a reaction medium. The lipase from Aspergillus niger (lipase AS) showed excellent catalytic activity toward the substrates aromatic aldehydes and nitromethane in choline chloride:glycerol at a molar ratio of 1:2. Addition of 30 vol% water to DES further improved the lipase activity and inhibited DES-catalyzed transformation. A final yield of 92.2% for the lipase AS-catalyzed Henry reaction was achieved under optimized reaction conditions in only 4 h. In addition, the lipase AS activity was improved by approximately 3-fold in a DES-water mixture compared with that in pure water, which produced a final yield of only 33.4%. Structural studies with fluorescence spectroscopy showed that the established strong hydrogen bonds between DES and water may be the main driving force that affects the spatial conformation of the enzyme, leading to a change in lipase activity. The methodology was also extended to the aza-Henry reaction, which easily occurred in contrast to that in pure water. The enantioselectivity of both Henry and aza-Henry reactions was not found. However, the results are still remarkable, as we report the first use of DES as a reaction medium in a lipase-catalyzed Henry reaction.

It has been observed that water, which is absolutely essential for enzyme activity, can induce the agglomeration of enzyme particles in organic media. Although enzyme agglomeration is significant in that it usually reduces enzyme activity and stability, little attention has been paid to the quantitative analysis of enzyme agglomeration behavior in nonaqueous biocatalytic systems. In this study, the effect of water and silica gel on enzyme agglomeration were investigated using Candida rugosa lipase and cyclohexane as a model enzyme and an organic medium. The extent of enzyme agglomeration was quantified by sieve analysis of freeze-dried agglomerates. Increasing the water content of the medium increased the size of the enzyme agglomerates, and it was found that water produced during the esterification reaction could also promote the agglomeration of enzyme particles suspended in organic media. On the other hand, the size of the enzyme agglomerates was remarkably reduced in the presence of silica gel at the same water content. We also show that this increase in the size of enzyme agglomerates results in lower reaction rates in organic solvents.

A ${\beta}$-ketothiolase was purified 180-fold from the cell extracts of Alcaligenes sp. SH-69 by a series of chromatography on DEAE-Dephadex A-50, Sephacryl S-200, and hydrozyapatitie columns, The optimum pH values of the partially purified enzyme were 7.5 for condensation reaction and 8.3 for thiolysis reaction were estimated to be 0.12mM and $18.7\;{\mu}M$, respectively. The $K_m$ valued for acetoacetyl-CoA and free CoASH in the thiolusis in the condensation reaction was 0.70mM. The condensation reaction of the ${\beta}$-ketothiolase was inhibited even by low concentrations of free CoASH($K_i=30.4{\mu}M$). Pretreatment of the enzyme with NADH and NADPH markedly inhibited the thiolysis reaction of the enzyme. The potent inhibition of the enzyme by sulfhydryl reagents suggests the involvement of cystein residue in the active site.

We report a newassay method on the measurement of the catalase activity, whose utilzation value is considered to be remarkable in the field of plant biochemistry. We named this method as a De-Coupling method. The essence of de-coupling method is the separation between the enzyme reaction and the indicator reaction. The optimum condition of the enzyme reaction was found to be following: on addition of 1 ml of substrate (H2O2: 20mM) to the fixture of the crude extract of enzyme (volume: 0.2 ml) and the ammonium phosphate buffer (volume: 1.8 ml; 0.93 M phosphate, 1.6M NHB, 2.5 M methanol, pH 7.0). After 30, 60 and 90 seconds of the enzyme reactions are proceeded, the reactions are terminated by 25% of tai-chloro-acetate (final concentration of 5%), respectively. The precipitated materials by tai-chloro-acetate was removed by the centrifugation (2000g, 10minutes). Formaldehyde produced in the enzymatic reaction was reacted with 2ml of acetylacetone (60mM). The indicator reaction -(HANTSCH REAKT10N)- in which lutidine is formed, was proceeded for 60 minutes at $25^{\circ}C$.
