For the systematic investigation of biochemical characteristics of Korean ginseng protein by years, protein fractions were analyzed by the techniques of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and gel filtration, while the amino acid composition was studied by amino acid autoanalyzer. Results of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and SDS-PAGE showed a few difference in pattern and number of bands depending on the age of the root. However, the number of bands obtained from polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and SDS-PAGE was 8 and 7 to 11, respectively. When water extracted proteins were fractionated by Sephadex G-200, the main peak among 2 peaks was collected and lyophillized. Its mol. wt. was extimated to be 43,000 by the SDS-PAGE method. In amino acid composition of water extracted protein and main fraction of gel filtration, arginine content was the highest, 47.17% in water extracted protein and 57.36% in main fraction followed by glutamic acid and asparatic acid. On the contrary, cystine and methionine contents were very low in both cases.

The protein separation with molecular weight using SDS-PAGE(sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) is the one of the most conventional and simple techniques. In, this study, two dimensional SDS-PAGE using same separation principle consecutively was investigated and compared with one dimensional SDS-PAGE. The enhanced separation from duplex SDS-PAGE was observed and separated proteins in the gel were identified by MALDI TOF MS. Identified proteins from different gel spots were found to have different gi numbers. Therefore, duplex SDS-PAGE separation method will be used for economic separation method in the future because only tiny amount of inexpensive reagents are used to perform duplex SDS-PAGE.

We propose a method for rapid evaluation and permanent record of sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic runs. This method is based on the photocopy process, rather than on photography and requires no extensive or expensive investment. Comparison of a print obtained through this method and a 35mm photography indicated, on a balanced gel, equal sensitivity.

This experiment was executed to investigate the possibility of the application of taxonomic method through the isoelectric focusing with polyacrylamide gel and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with seeds in the identification of turfgrasses. The sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to investigate the pattern of seed proteins which were extracted from 18 cultivars of cool season turfgrass and 4 cultivars of warm season turfgrass. The isoelectric focusing with polyacrylarnide gel was used to investigate the activity of the three isozymes of esterase, peroxidase and phosphoglucose isomerase which were extracted from 18 cultivars of cool season turfgrass and 4 cultivars of warm season turfgrass. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The difference of the patterns of seed proteins was observed with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The identification of intra-genus was easily detected. 2. The three isozymes of esterase, peroxidase and phosphoglucose isomerase were investigated through isoelectric focusing with polyacrylamide gel. As a result, esterase was most effective among three isozymes in the identification of turfgrass cultivars 3. In the past cultivar identification was primarily based on visual morphological characters, but there was a lot of difficulty. If we should use electrophoresis, we will be able to identifvturfgrass cultivars more effectively.

Korean ginseng was purified to obtain radioprotective protein fractions by buffer extraction, ammonium sulfate fractionation, CM-cellulose column chromatography, heat inactivation and Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. The final three fractions, GI, GII and GIII were subjected to Disc-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and SDS-PAGE. The molecular weights(M.W.) of native and denatured proteins were estimated by using regression line equations obtained from the mobilities of standard proteins. As the results, in Disc-PAGE, the GI fraction showed two protein bands with M.W. of above 213, 000 and 55, 000, GII showed one band with M.W. of 44, 000 and GIII, also one band with M.W. of 19, 000. In SDS-PAGE, GI fraction gave four subunit bands with M.W. of above 114, 000, 27, 000, 24, 000 and 19, 000, GII gave two bands with M.W. of 46, 000 and 22, 000, and GIII, one band of 19, 000.

A method, based upon the separation of cellular proteins by one-and two-dimensional electrophoresis was used for distinguishing butween Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains and Rhizobium fredii strains. Significant differences in protein pattern of one-dimensional SDS-PAGE vs-ere observed between Rhizobium fredii strains and Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains. The differences in six distinct main lands were observed among total 52 kinds of protein bands. Furthermore, the distribution of proteins in two groups by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was very different. The majority of visible proteins of Rhizobium fredii were acidic, whereas those of Bradyrhizobium japonicum were basic. In addition, amino acid composition was analyzed to detect the differences between two groups. No significant differences in amino acid composition were observed between Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains and Rhizobium fredii strains. The results indicate that one-and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were useful for identifying rhizobia isolates. One-dimensional SDS-PAGE of rhizobia proteins provided a rapid method for screening a large number of isolates, whereas two-dimensional electrophoresis was more of resolution and easiness for analyzing protein spots.

1. Amino acid compositions were determined by amino acid analyzer. Through the analysis of these samples, it was found that glutamic acid was the most abundant; glycine, aspartic acid, lysine and threonine were rich; and tryptophan and methionine were the limiting amino acid. 2. Albumins, globulins, gliadins and glutelins were extracted from the Kangwon hull, Kangwon rice buckwheat, and wheat. The relative proportions of protein fractions were 52.45 : 10.14 : 16.61 : 20.80% in Kangwon hull buckwheat, 21.10 : 13.80 : 28.40 : 36.70% in Kangwon rice buckwheat and 6.87 : 1.65 : 42.85 : 48.6% in wheat, in the order of albumins, globulins, gliadins and glutelins. 3. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) were performed to identify the subfractions of each protein fraction. The electrophoregrams of PAGE showed that the same fractions of both Kangwon hull buckwheat protein and Kangwon rice buckwheat protein had very similar electrophoretic patterns to each other respectively, but there were significant differences in the patterns between buckwheat proteins and wheat proteins.

SDS-PAGE of extracted surface-associated proteins of Lactobacillus rhamnosus strains E/N, Oxy, and Pen, was performed. The obtained protein patterns allowed differentiation of the examined strains, which was not accomplished by the commonly used RAPD genotypic method. The differentiation by the SDS-PAGE method proved to be a useful tool for strain-specific identification, which was further confirmed by 2DE analysis. Therefore, it can be used as an alternative or complementary method for both conventional and genotypic identification procedures, especially when closely related lactobacilli isolates are identified.

New gluten-free food product (tarhana) was produced using rice and com flours. Chemical and sensory properties of the tarhana samples were investigated and compared with those of traditional wheat tarhana. Generally, sensory analysis results indicated that utilization of com and rice flours in tarhana resulted in acceptable soup properties in terms of some of the sensory properties. The changes in electrophoretic properties of the proteins of the tarhana samples were also studied during the tarhana production. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacryamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) results showed that relative intensities of some of the protein bands in tarhana samples generally decreased during fermentation. The decrease was more obvious at the larger molecular weight region. Corn and rice tarhana seem to be promising food products for the celiac patients who have limited choice of cereal based foods.

The polygalacturonase (PG) production in rotten apples by Botryosphaeria dothidea was purified by using gel filtration and ion exchange column chromatography, and the biochemical characters of PG were investigated. The purified PG appeared as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with approximate molecular weight of 49 kilodalton (kDa). The molecular weight was equal to the native molecular weight estimated by gel filtration. The Km and Vmax values of PG were 0.51 mg/ml and 90.9 $\mu$M/min/ml, respectively. Optimum pH was 4.0~5.0, and the PG activity was stable from pH 5.0~10.0. Optimum temperature of the enzyme activity was 4$0^{\circ}C$. The PG activity was relatively stable at 2$0^{\circ}C$, but it was reduced 45% at 4$0^{\circ}C$ and completely inactivated at 8$0^{\circ}C$. The PG activity was considerably inhibited by Cu2+, Zn2+, SDS and EDTA, whereas it was not effected by Ca2+, K+, Mg2+ or Na+ ions.
