Transferrin은 저장된 철분자를 운반하고 살아있는 유기체에서 철의 항상성을 유지한다. 호랑나비의 종령 유충 혈림프내 철 운반 단백질인 transferrin을 KBr 밀도구배 초원심분리와 Superose 6 HR을 이용한 fast protein liquid chromatography법으로 분리 정제하였으며, transferrin의 조직에 따른 분포는 면역화학적 방법에 따라 확인하였다. 정제된 transferrin의 아미노산 조성은 아스파르트산(Asp), 발린(Val), 루이신(Leu), 글루타민(GIu)이 많이 존재하였으며, subunit의 분자량은 78, 80 kDa으로 확인되었다. Immuno-diffusion을 통해 각 조직에서 분포를 확인한 결과 혈림프와 지방체에서 transferrin이 전시기에 걸쳐 뚜렷한 동질성을 나타냈다. 또한 rocket immuno-electrophresis법에 의해 transferrin의 양적 분포를 살펴보면 혈림프에서 용화 3일과 용화 5일에 증가하였으며, 지방체에서는 전용기와 용화직후에 양적인 증가를 나타냈다.

Biodegradative threonine dehydratase was purified to homogeneity from Serratia marcescens ATCC 25419 by streptomycin sulfate treatment, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration chromatography followed by AMP-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was 118,000 by fast protein liquid chromatography using superose 6-HR. The enzyme was determined to be a homotetrameric protein with subunit molecular weights of 30,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was inhibited by ${\alpha}-Keto$ acids and their derivatives such as ${\alpha}-ketobutyrate$, pyruvate, glyoxlyate, and phosphoenol pyruvate, but not by ${\alpha}-aminobutyrate$ and ${\alpha}-hydroxybutyrate$. The inhibition of the enzyme by pyruvate and glyoxylate was observed in the presence of AMP. The inhibitory effect of glyoxylate was decreased at high enzyme concentration, whereas the inhibition by pyruvate was independent of the enzyme concentration. The kinetics of inhibition of the enzyme by pyruvate and glyoxylate revealed a noncompetitive and mixed-type inhibition by the two inhibitors with respect to L-threonine and AMP, respectively.

A Mono Q HR 5/5 anion-exchange column with a FPLC system was used to separate exogenously expressed calmodulin from endogenous tobacco calmodulins. Transgenic tobacco calmodulins were purified by fractionation with ammonium sulfate, precipitation with sulfuric acid and hydrophobic chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B. The purified calmodulins were chromatographed in the FPLC using the column. This method was selected because of the slight differences in the net charge of foreign and endogenous plant calmodulins due to amino acid sequence differences. By this approach, the exogenously expressed calmodulin was isolated from endogenous tobacco calmodulins. The isolated calmodulin was characterized by amino acid composition analysis as well as methylation analysis.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II by cleaving C-terminal dipeptide of angiotensin I and inactivates bradykinin. ACE inhibitors have been screened from various food sources since the inhibitors decrease blood pressure. Therefore, in this study, an ACE inhibitor was isolated and purified from squid ink using membrane filtration, gel permeation chromatography, normal phase HPLC, and fast protein liquid chromatography. The purified inhibitor was identified to be a molecular mass of 294 by mass spectrometry, and to have IC$\sub$50/ value of 4.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL.

Mercury-resistant ($Hg^R$) bacteria were isolated from heavy metal polluted wastewater and soil collected near to tanneries of district Kasur, Pakistan. Bacterial isolates AZ-1, AZ-2 and AZ-3 showed resistance up to $40{\mu}g/ml$ against mercuric chloride ($HgCl_2$). 16S rDNA ribotyping and phylogenetic analysis were performed for the characterization of selected isolates as Bacillus sp. AZ-1 (KT270477), Bacillus cereus AZ-2 (KT270478) and Bacillus cereus AZ-3 (KT270479). Phylogenetic relationship on the basis of merA nucleotide sequence confirmed 51-100% homology with the corresponding region of the merA gene of already reported mercury-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. The merE gene involved in the transportation of elemental mercury ($Hg^0$) via cell membrane was cloned for the first time into pHLV vector and transformed in overexpressed C43(DE3) E. coli cells. The recombinant plasmid (pHLMerE) was expressed and the native MerE protein was obtained after thrombin cleavage by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The purification of fusion/recombinant and native protein MerE by Ni-NTA column, dialysis and fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC/SEC) involved unfolding/refolding techniques. A small-scale reservoir of wastewater containing $30{\mu}g/ml$ of $HgCl_2$ was designed to check the detoxification ability of selected strains. It resulted in 83% detoxification of mercury by B. cereus AZ-2 and B. cereus AZ-3, and 76% detoxification by Bacillus sp. AZ-1 respectively (p < 0.05).

Enterobacter sp. S45로부터 inulin fructotransferase를 생산, 정제하고 효소적 특성을 조사하였다. 배양상징액의 $0.4{\sim}0.8$ 포화$(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 침전물인 조효소는 DEAE-cellulose column chromatography 및 fast protein liquid chromatography로 정제하였으며 효소의 회수율은 0.9%였고 약 148배의 정제도를 보였다. 정제된 효소는 전기영동상으로 단일 band였으며 분자량은 SDS-PAGE에 의해 42,800으로 나타났다. 이 효소의 최적 pH는 5.5, 최적 온도는 $50^{\circ}C$였으며 $Mg^{2+}$이온은 효소활성을 30% 증가시키나 $Hg^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$ 및 $Fe^{3+}$이온들은 활성을 강력히 저해하였다. Inulin에 대한 km 값은 1.4 mM, Vmax 값은 $0.196\;{\mu}mole/min$이었다. 본 효소는 inulin을 fructose 말단으로부터 fructose 두 분자씩 절단, 환상형인 DFA를 생성하며, 그 결과 inulin 분해산물인 GF, $GF_2$, $GF_3$, $GF_4$ 등도 검출되었다. 중합도에 따른 효소활성을 조사해 본 결과 이 효소는 중합도 $4(GF_3)$ 이상의 fructo 올리고당에만 작용하여 $GF_3$는 DFA III와 GF로, $GF_4$는 DFA III와 $GF_2$로 변환시켰다. 또한 본 효소는 sucrose, raffinose 및 melezitose를 기질로서 이용하지 못하므로 invertase 및 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ 활성이 없는 것으로 나타났다.

Hydrolysis of whey-derived proteins using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) utilizes the mass culture method and fermentation of LAB to produce effective bioactive peptides. Whey protein has the biological potential of its precursors, but the active fragments may not be released depending on the hydrolysis method. As an alternative to these problems, the nutritional and bioactive functionality of the hydrolysis method have been reported to be improved using LAB for whey protein. Peptide fractions were obtained using a sample fast protein liquid chromatography device. Antioxidant activity was verified for each of the five fractions obtained. In vitro cell experiments showed no cytotoxicity and inhibited nitric oxide production. Cytokine (IL [interleukin]-1α, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α) production was significantly lower than that of lipopolysaccharides (+). As a result of checking the amino acid content ratio of the fractions selected through the AccQ-Tag system, 17 types of amino acids were identified, and the content of isoleucine, an essential amino acid, was the highest. These properties show their applicability for the production of functional products utilizing dietary supplements and milk. It can be presented as an efficient method in terms of product functionality in the production of uniform-quality whey-derived peptides.

Human melanocortin-4 receptor (hMC4R) among MC-Rs, expressed in the brain, is in charge of the control on energy homeostasis and food intake. The structure and function of human MC4R have been studied to understand their essential function and roles. To investigate the structure and function, it is necessary to prepare sufficient amounts of proteins. However, their expression and purification is demanding and time-consuming due to their innate insoluble and toxic properties. The heterozygous mutations of hMC4R, exchange of Asp 90 to Asn located in second transmembrane, cause severe obesity in human. To obtain purified hMC4R wt-TM2 for structural studies, it was first over-expressed and purified by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) and then solution NMR studies were performed to get high-resolution spectra. In here, we established optimized purification scheme to get more purified target peptide.
