Pleurotus ostreatus로부터 glyoxalase I(S-lactoyl-glutathione methylglyoxal lyase, EC 4.4.1.5)이 S-hexylglutathione affinity chromatography, Sephadex G-150 gel permeation chromatography, DEA-sepharose A-50 CL-6B ion exchange chromatography를 통해 순수 분리되었다. 이 결과, 전체 활성도의 21.7% fmf 수확하였으며, 분리 배수는 2,294 배 이었다. Gel filtration chromatography로 측정한 효소의 분자량은 34 kDa이며, SDS-PAGE 결과 본 효소는 분자량 17 kDa인 동일한 소단위체 두 개로 구성된 이합체라고 생각된다. Methylglyoxal과 phenylglyoxal에 대한 $K_m$ 값은 각각 0.39 mM 과 0.22 mM 이며 L-xylosone과 hydroxypyruvaldehyde에 대해서도 강한 친화력을 보여주었고, pH 6.5~7.5, $35~45^{\circ}C$에서 활성도가 가장 높았다. 이 효소의 반응 과정을 핵자기공 명분광법으로 분석한 결과, 분자내의 양성자 전달과정이 뚜렷이 관찰되었다.

GTP cyclohydrolase I catalyzing the first reaction in the biosynthesis of pterin moiety of folic acid in bacteria, was purified from Streptomyces tubercidicus by at least 203-fold with a yield of 32% to apparent homogeneity, using ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-cellulose, Sepharose CL-6B, and hydroxylapatite column chromatography. The molecular weight of the native enzyme was estimated to be 230,000 daltons by gel permeation chromatography. The purified enzyme gave a single band on sodium dodesyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its molecular weight was apparently 58,000 daltons. These results indicate that the enzyme consists of four subunits with the same molecular weight. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values for GTP of the purified enzyme were determined to be 80${\mu}$M and 90nmol/min (mg protein), respectively. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme reaction were pH 7.5-8.5 and $40-42^{\circ}C$, respectively. Coenzyme or metal ion was not required for the enzyme activity. The enzyme activity was inhibited by most divalent cations, while it was slightly activated by potassium ion. In case of nucleotides, CTP, GMP, GDP, and UTP inhibited enzyme activity, among which GDP exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect.

A thermophilic Bacillus sp. strain KK-1 isolated from soil produced an extracellular xylanase. From the culture supernatant of Bacillus sp., the xylanase was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation and DEAE-Sephadex A-50 chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified xylanase was estimated to be 45 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel permeation chromatography. The apparent $K_m$ values for xylanase, using oat spelt xylan and birchwood xylan as substrates, were 7.1 mg/ml and 3.2 mg/ml, and $V_{max}$ values were $27.0\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}mg^{-1}$ and $29.0\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}mg^{-1}$, respectively. The xylanase hydrolyzed oat spelt xylan to mostly xylobiose, xylotriose, and xylose. The amino acid composition indicated that the xylanase contained high amounts of amino add residues of glutamic acid and glutamine (Glx) and aspartic acid and asparagine (Asx).

다양한 종류의 미역으로부터 알긴산 분해 활성을 가지는 해양 미생물인 Vibrio sp. AEBL-211을 분리하였다. 우선, 알긴산 고체배지에서의 halo 크기가 크고 환원당 생성량이 가장 많은 해양 미생물을 선발하고, 생화학 및 영양적인 특성 분석 결과 등을 바탕으로 Vibro 속으로 동정하였다. DE 52-cellulose 및 Sephacryl G-200를 이용한 음이온 교환 및 gel permeation chromatography를 통해 부분 정제된 alginase 효소액을 얻었다. 부분 정제된 alginase 효소를 이용하여 guluronic acid에 대한 mannuronic acid의 비율이 다른 sodium alginate 시료에 대한 분해능을 평가한 결과, guluronic acid의 상대적 양이 많은 알긴산에 대한 활성이 상대적으로 우수하여 Vibrio sp. AEBL-211 유래의 alginase는 guluronic acid가 많은 G-rich block에 대한 분해활성이 높은 특성을 가지는 것으로 판단되었다.

A polysaccharide with antithrombin activity in Manda$^{(R)}& (PAM) was purified via procedures comprising three major steps, i.e. fractional precipitation with ethanol, anion exchange chromatography, and gel permeation chromatography. PAM showed a symmetrical peak on size exclusion HPLC, as assessed by refractive index, and behaved as a single band on cellulose acetate electrophoresis. The average molecular mass was estimated to be 222 kDa by gel filtration. PAM was found to be a sulfated heteropolysaccharide that contains sulfate group (20.5%, w/w) and uronic acid moiety (7.1 %, w/w) in addition to neutral sugar consisting of fucose, xylose, mannose, galactose, and glucose in a molar ratio of 1.00 : 0.35 : 0.28: 0.22 : 0.15. This polysaccharide appeared to inhibit blood coagulation via the intrinsic pathway in a dose-dependent pattern. The clotting of fibrinogen by thrombin was also significantly mitigated by the presence of PAM.

The conventional FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) manufacturing process used thermoset resins for ease of molding but faced the issue of non-recyclability. To address these shortcomings, a new process utilizing thermal plastic resin was developed. However, due to the high viscosity of thermal plastic resin, problems such as fiber deformation and a reduced fiber volume fraction occurred during the high-temperature, high-pressure process. In this study, to overcome the limitations of the conventional process, fiber-reinforced composite materials were manufactured through in-situ polymerization using PLA (Poly L-Lactide) resin in the VA-RTM (Vacuum Assistance Resin Transfer Molding) process. The fiber volume of the produced specimens was calculated, and resin impregnation and porosity were confirmed through optical microscopy. Additionally, molecular weight analysis using GPC (Gel Permission Chromatography) demonstrated improvements over the conventional process and emphasized the essential requirement of temperature control.

An analytical method was investigated for the meaiiurement of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) concentrations in air samples. Procedures required for column chromatographic clean up. silicagel (stage I) and gel permeation chromatography (stage II), were discussed. Identification and quantification of PCBs and OCPs were performed using a combination of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/ selected ion monitoring. Recovery tests calculated from six samples are 68∼137% for PCBs and 58∼130% for OCPs except for endrin aldehyde. Instrumental detection limits determined for the PCBs and OCPs varied from 0.05 to 0.18 pg/m3 and from 0.71 to 16.82 pg/㎥, respectively. The method has been applied to the analysis of air samples collected at Ansung city, Kyonggi province, Korea. This method may serve as a screening protocol for the simultaneous determination of PCBs and OCPs in air.

Two molecular species of apolipophorin-III (spoLp-III) were purified from the last instar larval hemolymph of Galleria mellonella by gel permeation chromatography (Sephadex G-100), ion exchange chromatography (DE-52), heat treatment (90C for 30 min) and Mono S FPLC, and were named apoLp-III-a and apoLp-lll-b, respectively. They were indistinguishable by SDS-PAGE but could be separated by native PAGE. The molecular mass of apoLp-III determined by SDS-PAGE was approximately 18 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of apoLp-III-b revealed high similarities with the apoLp-III from Manduca sexta.

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.
