For the purpose of combining the purification processes for several biologically active proteins form human urine, an efficient integrated fractionation procedure has been investigated. The procedure was started by concentration with ultrafiltration and pH precipitation followed by a selectable combination of chromatography on gel filtration, adsorption, ion exchanger, affinity, and reverse phase column. By this process, the purified urokinase, epidermal growth factor and albumin migrated as a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and were fully active. The recoveries of these purified proteins were 48%, 17%, and 46%, respectively.

A Fructan-degrading enzyme was partially purified from onion (Allium cepa)bulbs by a combination of ammonium sufate precipitation, concanavalin-A-Affinity chromatography, and ion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. The enzyme hydrolyzed sucrose more effectively than inulin and was identified as a $\beta$- fructofuranosidase (invertase). The optimum pH and temperature were pH 5.5 and 35$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzymehydrolyzed sucrose with a Km of 1.2mM . The soluble $\beta$-fructofuranosidase is likely glycoprotein based on its ability to bind the lectin concanavalin-A. The enzyme was heatlabie, with mose activity being lost at 5$0^{\circ}C$ in 1 hr of incubation. The onion $\beta$-fructofuranosidase was partially inhibited by ZnCl2 HgCl2 and CuSo4.

Expression of the active urease of the enterobacterium, Klebsiella aerogens, requires the presence of the accessory genes (ureD, ureE, ureF, and ureG) in addition to the three structural genes (ureA, ureB, and ureC). These accessory genes are involved in functional assembly of the nickel-metallocenter for the enzyme. Characterization of ureF gene has been hindered, however, since the UreF protein is produced in only minute amount compared to other urease gene products. In order to overexpress the ureF gene, a recombinant pMAL-UreF plasmid was constructed from which the UreF was produced as a fusion with maltose-binding protein. The MBP-UreF fusion protein was purified by using an amylose-affinity column chromatography followed by an anion exchange column chromatography. Polyclonal antibodies raised against the fusion protein were purified and shown to specifically recognize both MBP and UreF peptides. The UreF protein was shown to be unstable when separated from MBP by digestion with factor Xa.

A number of chiral selectors have been developed and applied for enantiomer separation of a variety of chiral compounds. Among these chiral selectors are chiral crown ethers, a class of synthetic host polyether molecules that bind protonated chiral primary amines with high selectivity and affinity. In this paper, two important chiral crown ethers as chiral selectors of bis-(1,1'-binaphthyl)-22-crown-6 and (18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid (18-C-6-TA) are focused. They have been widely used to resolve the enantiomers of chiral compounds containing a primary amino moiety using chiral stationary phases (CSPs) or chiral selectors by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE) and so on in chirotechnology. Also, it was described that the commercially available covalent type HPLC CSPs derived from (+)- and (-)-18-C-6-TA have been developed and successfully applied for the resolution of various primary amino compounds including amino acids.

The NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (NCBR), a mitochondrial external electron carrier, was purified from bovine heart and turnip and their properties were examined. The mitochondrial outer membranes separated were subjected to NCBR isolation through DEAE-Cellulose ion exchange, DEAE-Sephadex gel chromatography, and hydroxyapatite adsorption chromatography. These processes yielded the purification folds of 88 and 42 and the recovery percentages of 0.2%, 5.67% for turnip and bovine heart, respectively. The molecular weight of the NCBR from the two sources was estimated to be 35,000 using SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Michaelis constant Km and maximum velocity Vmax were determined by measuring the NADH-ferricyanide redox system as well as the NADPH-ferricyanide redox system. The kinetics showed that both NCBRs had higher affinities for NADH than artificial electron-acceptor substrate ferricyanide. Although NADPH had a lower affinity for the enzymes than NADH, this study showed the 2'-phosphate dinucleotide could be used as a substrate.

t ENOD40B, a plant peptide hormone, was doubly labeled with C-13 and N-15 by recombinant production in Escherichia coli. The peptide was prepared by affinity chromatography followed by protease cleavage and reverse-phase chromatography. To elucidate the mode of action against its receptor, sucrose synthase, we proceeded to assign the backbone and side-chain resonances using a set of double and triple resonance experiments. This result will be used to determine the three-dimensional structure of the peptide at its bound state as well as to observe the chemical shift changes upon binding.

Different bioligands carrying synthetic adsorbents have been reported in the literature for protein separation, We have developed a novel and new approach to obtain high protein ad-sorption capacity utilizing 2-methacrylamidohistidine(MAH) as a bioligand. MAH was synthe-sized by reacting methacrylocholride and histidine, Spherical beads with an average size of 150-200㎛ were obtained by the radical suspension polymerization of MAH and 2-hydrosyethyl-methacrylate(HEMA) conducted in an aqueous dispersion medium. p(HEMA-co-MAH) beads had a specific surface area of 17.6㎡/g . Synthesized MAH monomer was characterized by NMR. p(HEMA-co-MAH) beads were characterized by swelling test, FTIR and elemental analysis. Then Cu(II) ions were incorporated onto the beads and Cu(II) loading was found to be 0.96 mmol/g.These affinity beads with a swelling ration of 65% and containing, 1.6 mmol MAH/g were used in the adsorption/desorption of human serum albumin(HSA) from both aqueous solutions and hu-man serum. The adsorption of HSA onto p(HEM-co-MAH) was low(8.8 mg/g). Cu(II) chelation onto the beads significantly increased the HSA adsorption (56.3 mg/g). The maximum HSA ad-sorption ws observed at pH 8.0 Higher HSA adsorption was observed from human plasma(94.6 mgHSA/g) Adsorption of other serum proteins were obtained as 3.7 mg/g for fibrinogen and 8.5mg/g for γ-globulin. The total protein adsorption was determined as 107.1mg/g. Desorption of HSA was obtained using 0.1 M Tris/HCl buffer containing 0.5 M NaSCN, High desorption rations(up to 98% of the adsorbed HSA) were observed. It was possible to reuse Cu(II) chelated-p(HEMA-co-MAH) beads without significant decreases in the adsorption capacities.

Laccase produced by Coriolus hirsutus was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by acetone precipitation, Sephacryl S-2000 HR chromatography, DEAE Sepharose CL-6B chromatography, and Mono Q HR 5/5 chromatography. The purification of laccase was 46.6-fold with an overall yield of 23.7%. Laccase from this fungus was a monomeric glycoprotein with 16% carbohydrate content, and has an isoelectric point of 4.2, and molecular mass of 78 kDa, respectively. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme showed significant homology to hoste of laccases from Coriolus versicolor, Pycnoporus cinnabarius, and an unidentified basidiomycete, PM1. The highest rate of 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) oxidation by laccase was reached at 45$^{\circ}C$, and te pH optima of the enzyme varied depending on the substrate in the range of 2.0 to 4.5. The enzyme was stable at 60$^{\circ}C$ for 5 h and lost 80% activity at 80$^{\circ}C$ in 30 min. The enzyme oxidized a variety of usual laccase substrates including lignin-related phenol, and had the highest affinity toward ABTS. Under standard assay conditions, the apparent Km value of the enzyme toward ABTS was 8.1 ${\mu}$M. The enzyme was completely inhibited by L-cysteine and sodium azide, but not by potassium cyanide, SDS, ad thiourea.

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.
