Red ginseng powder was administered at a dose of 2.7 g per day for 3 months to 21 diabetic patients who were under the treatment with insulin. It was found that the ginseng powder was effective to 12 patients and ineffective to 9 patients. Based on these clinical results, experiments were carried out to elucidate factors which concerned with improvement of pathological conditions of diabetes mellitus. In the previous symposium, we reported that red ginseng powder contained an anti-lipolytic peptide, or an insulin-like peptide. In the course of purification of the insulin-like peptide in the ginseng, we found another fraction which possessed anti-lipolytic activity. The anti-lipolytic factor of the fraction was purified by gel filtration on Bio Gel P-2 column and Dowex $50W{\times}4$ column chromatography. The character of the finally purified material was examined by thin-layer chromatography, high-speed liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. With these examinations, the active principle was indentified to be adenosine. Pharmacological significance of these insulin-like substances, the peptide and adenosine, was discussed.

Biosurfactants produced by Pseudomonas aeroginosa KK-7 were purified and their properties were studied. The bacterial surfactant was seperated into two sorts of biosufactants (Type I, 11) by silica gel column chromatograpgy. On the basis of physiochemical analysis, Type I was found to be mixture of two glycolipids with M.W. 800, and Type II was peptide with M.W. 1300. The Type 11 biosurfactant was compose of glutamic acid, proline, glycine, leucine, histidine. The crude extract was used to dertermine some properties as a surfactant. The biosurfactant had the properties as stronger emulsification agent and a stronger stabilizing agent emulsion than any other surfactants tested.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) found in duodenal mucosa originally has been suggested as a neurotransmitter. Its localization, however, now known, is not limited to the gastrointestinal tract, but scattered at many different kinds of tissues, smooth muscles, endocrine gland and exocrine gland as well as central and peripheral neural tissues. To investigate the effect of VIP on renal function, an experiment has been done in anesthetized male rats. The results obtained were: 1) Urinary output and creatinine clearance decreased significantly during the period of infusion of VIP, 2.0ug/rat/7minutes. 2) Urinary excretion of sodium, potassium and chloride decreased but without significance by infusion of VIP. 3) Blood pressure, systolic and diastolic, decreased by VIP administered intravenously in the period of infusion. 4) Changes of urinary output, sodium and chloride excretion was correlated with changes of creatinine clearance. The above data suggest that VIP administered intravenously can suppress the renal hemodynamics indirectly, and also decrease electrolyte excretion through its renal hemodynamic change.

This study was performed to measure the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of peptide extracts derived from the enzymatic proteolysis of Hanwoo Musculus longissimus (M. longissimus) during cold storage. Thermolysin (80 ppm, w/w) and protease type XIII (100 ppm, w/w) were injected separately or in combination for the enzymatic proteolysis of sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins prior to storage at $5^{\circ}C$ (T1) or at $-1^{\circ}C$ (T2) in a chilling room for 9 days. Beef injected with thermolysin (E2) and thermolysin+protease type XIII (E3) showed a significantly higher degree of hydrolysis at both storage temperatures (p<0.05). During the storage period, T1E2 at day 6 and T1E3 at day 9 showed the strongest ACE inhibitory activity with sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar protein proteolysates. Macromolecules greater than 10,000 Da were removed by ultra filtration, and the filtrates were separated into fractions using gel filtration. Five and three major fractions were collected from S-T1E2-6 and M-T1E3-9 extracts, respectively, and the $4^{th}$ fraction of the S-T1E2-6 extracts showed the highest ACE inhibitory rate of $61.96{\pm}7.41%$.

본 연구는 우둔 단백질에서 분리한 헥사펩타이드, VLAQYK의 자연발증 고혈압쥐의 혈압, 중성 지질, 그리고 콜레스테롤에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. 헥사 펩타이드는 in vitro에서 138.34${\mu}\ell$/ml의 $IC_{50}$ 값을 보였던 것으로 농축하여 체중 kg당 각각 0.2g, 0.5g, 1.0g의 농도가 되도록 스테인레스 존데를 이용하여 경구투여한 후 혈압의 변화와 지질 수준을 살펴보았다. 실험기간동안 사료의 섭취량의 변화는 대체로 대조구와 처리구 사이에 크게 나타나지 않았지만 8주차에 이르러서는 대조군보다 세 처리구 모두 사료의 섭취량이 22 ${\sim}$ 24%로 감소하였다. 실험기간 동안 랫트의 체중의 변화는 비교적 저속적으로 증가하였지만 사료섭취에 대한 체중의 증가는 일정한 수준을 유지하여 경구 투여한 펩타이드에 대한 체중 증가는 없었다. 체내 중요 기관의 중량을 측정한 결과 대조군에 비해 간, 염통은 큰 변화가 없었으나 신장과 비장, 고환의 중량은 약간의 차이를 보였다. 신장의 중량은 0.2g과 0.5g의 헥사펩타이드 처리군에서 대조군보다 감소하였으며(P < 0.001), 비장은 대조군보다 오히려 중량이 증가 하였고(P < 0.05), 고환도 대조군보다 처리에 따라 중량의 증가를 보였다(P < 0.05). 헥사펩타이드를 체중 kg당 10.g의 농도로 투여한 군은 3주가 되자 대조군의 혈압보다 - 55.9mmHg로 저하되어 가장 강한 혈압 저하율을 보였으나(P < 0.05) 그 이루호는 6주째에 체중 kg당 0.2g의 농도로 투여한 구가 가장 높은 혈압 저하율을 보였다(P < 0.05). 실험 종료 후의 혈액내 총 콜레스테롤 함량은 0.2g, 0.5g, 1.0g의 헥사펩타이드의 모든 처리군에서 각각 대조군보다 25.4%, 23.5%, 23.7% 수준으로 더 낮은 농도를 보였다(P <0.001). 성인병 발병의 원인인 중성지질의 함량도 처리량에 따라 유의적으로 감소하여 113.3 ${\pm}$ 1.5mg 이었던 중성지방이, 0.5g/kg B.W의 헥사펩타이드 급여군에서는 93.6 ${\pm}$ 2.5mg의 수준으로 . 감소함을 보였다. 하지만 1.0g/kg B.W.의 헥사펩타이드의 급여군에서는 중성지질의 함량이 108.3 ${\pm}$ 1.5mg으로 증가하였다. 반면, HDL 콜레스테롤 함량은 대조군보다 모든 처리군에서 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 처리군 사이에서는 유의차를 보이지 않았다(P < 0.05). LDL 콜레스테롤 함량은 대조군바다 처리량에 따라 유의적으로(P <0.001) 감소하여 대조군에서 61.3 ${\pm}$ 1.7 이었던 것이 1.0gcjflrns에서는 36.4 ${\pm}$ 1.4mg의 함량으로 큰폭으로 감소하였음을 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과를 종합하면, in vitro 상에서 ACE 억제 효과가 있었던 헥사펩타이드는 in vivo 상에서 농도 의존적인 혈압저하 효과를 보이지 못했지만 실험 개시후 3주에 가장 높은 혈압저하 수준을 보였고, 성인병의 발병지표로서 사용되는 LDL 콜레스테롤의 함량을 40.6%감소시켰다.

The formation of ${\beta}$-amyloid peptide ($A{\beta}$) is initiated from cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by a family of protease, ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, and ${\gamma}$-secretase. Sub W, a substrate peptide, consists of 10 amino acids, which are adjacent to the ${\beta}$-cleavage site of wild-type APP, and Sub M is Swedish mutant with double mutations on the left side of the ${\beta}$-cleavage site of APP. Sub W is a normal product of the metabolism of APP in the secretary pathway. Sub M is known to increase the efficiency of ${\beta}$-secretase activity, resulting in a more specific binding model compared to Sub W. Three-dimensional structures of Sub W and Sub M were studied by CD and NMR spectroscopy in water solution. On the basis of these structures, interaction models of ${\beta}$-secretase and substrate peptides were determined by molecular dynamics simulation. Four hydrogen bonds and one water-mediated interaction were formed in the docking models. In particular, the hydrogen bonding network of Sub M-BACE formed spread over the broad region of the active site of ${\beta}$-secretase (P5-P3'), and the side chain of P2- Asn formed a hydrogen bond specifically with the side chain of Arg235. These are more favorable to the cleavage of Sub M by ${\beta}$-secretase than Sub W. The two substrate peptides showed different tendency to bind to ${\beta}$-secretase and this information may useful for drug development to treat and prevent Alzheimer's disease.

A novel synthetic hexapeptide (SFKLRY-$NH_2$) that displays angiogenic activity has been identified by positional scanning of a synthetic peptide combinatorial library (PS-SPCL). This study was carried out to investigate the irritation of the SFKLRY-$NH_2$ on the skin. The tests were performed on the basis of Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) guidelines. In results, cell toxicity is not appeared for SFKLRY-$NH_2$ in HaCaT cells and B16F10 cells. SFKLRY-$NH_2$ induced no skin irritation at low concentration ($10{\mu}m$), mild irritation at high concentration (10mM). We consider that this result is helpful for saying about the safety of SFKLRY-$NH_2$ in clinical use.

$\beta$-Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase ($\beta$-CGTase) was overproduced extracellularly using recombinant E. coli by transforming the plasmid pECGT harboring a secretive signal peptide. The $\beta$-CGTase gene of alkalophilic Bacillus firmus var alkalophilus was inserted into the high expression vector pET20b(+) containing a secretive pelB signal peptide, and then transformed into E. coli BL2l(DE3)pLysS. The optimum culture conditions fer the overproduction of $\beta$-CGTase were determined to be TB medium containing 0.5% (w/v) soluble starch at post-induction temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. A significant amount of $\beta$-CGTase, up to 5.83 U/ml, which was nine times higher than that in the parent strain B. firmus var. alkalophilus, was overproduced in the extracellular compartment. A pH-stat fed-batch cultivation of the recombinant E. coli was also performed to achieve the secretive overproduction of $\beta$-CGTase at a high cell density, resulting in production of up to 21.6 U/ml of $\beta$-CGTase.

Three strains of W isolated from tobacco, tomato and Pepper plants in Korea were characterized based on biological response, serological relationship, and peptide mapping of the capsid Proteins. The strains designated as TMV-common, TMV-Pepper, and TMV-tomato could be distinguishable by different visual symptoms on 3 varieties of tobacco, one variety of tomato and Pepper for each among 27 plant specieces. Serological relationships were examined by agar gel double diffusion test. Only traceable or weak reaction was observed in the incompatible antigen-antibody combinations. The Pepper strain, however, showed trace in reaction with other two antisera. Peptide maps of the capsid proteins digested by V8 protease or by trypsin were also distinguishable, suggesting differences in composition and/or sequence of the amino acids among the strains.
