Selenium-containing proteins were separated from selenium-enriched yeast (SEY) using Trizol$^{(R)}$ reagent followed by anion exchange (AE) chromatography. This method is simpler and less time consuming than electrophoresis. Five selenium containing proteins were identified by on-line AE HPLC-ICP/MS (high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry). Each protein was enzymatically hydrolyzed to seleno-amino acids and separated with RP (reverse phase) HPLC for the identification of selenoproteins.

The hydrolysates prepared with various enzyme digestion of Capsosiphon fulvescens were used to measure the inhibitory effects against angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE). The commercially available enzymes such as Celluclast, Viscozyme, Lysing enzyme, Flavourzyme, Alcalase and Pectinex were used to digest C. fulvescens and produce hydrolysates. The maximum ACE inhibitory activity was observed using Alcalase hydrolysis (72.9%). The optimal conditions of Alcalase extraction were pH 8.0 and extraction time for 12 hr. The hydrolysates were fractionated using preparative-LC and anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and the fraction B and B-2 were isolated. The ACE inhibitory activity of fraction B-2 by anion-exchange chromatography was 82.6%. The molecular weight of fraction B-2 estimated using size exclusion chromatography was about 1 kDa. The monosaccharide composition of the fraction B-2 was determined to be mannose (1.1%), glucuronic acid (1.3%), galactose (1.3%) and glucose (96.3%).

The selective separation and the quantitative recovery of uranium from Korean monazite sand have been studied by anion-exchange chromatography. It has been shown that method of anion-exchange chromatography under controlled conditions of elution can be applied to the production of relatively high purity of Uranium Oxide from monazite sand. Under the optimum separation conditions, the recoveries from standard sample were up to 99.3% as $U_3O_8$ on sulfate form anion resin bed and 99.2% as $U_2O_3{\cdot}P_2O_7$ on phosphate form anion resin bed. The possibility of recovering uranium from the monazite sulfate solution using a strong base anion exchange resin-Amberlite IRA-900. Uranium was successfully recovered about 92 percent. Phosphate ion did not seem to interfere with the process.

A study has been carried out on the separation of gold, iridium, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and platinum in chromite samples and their quantitative determination using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The dissolution condition of the minerals by fusion with sodium peroxide was optimized and chromatographic elution behaviour of the rare metals was investigated by anion exchange chromatography. Spectral interference of chromium, a matrix of the minerals, was investigated on determination of gold. Chromium interfered on determination of gold at the concentration of 500 mg/L and higher. Gold plus trace amounts of iridium, palladium, rhodium and ruthenium, which must be preconcentrated before ICP-AES was separated by anion exchange chromatography after reducing Cr(Ⅵ) to Cr(III) by H2O2. AuCl4- retained on the resin column was selectively eluted with acetone- HNO3-H2O as an eluent. In addition, iridium, palladium, rhodium and ruthenium remaining on the resin column were eluted as a group with concentrated HCl. However, platinum was eluted with concentrated HNO3. The recovery yield of gold with acetone-HNO3-H2O was 100.7 ${\pm}2.0%$, and the yields of palladium and platinum with concentrated HCl and HNO3 were 96.1 ${\pm}1.8%$ and 96.6 ${\pm}1.3%$, respectively. The contents of gold and platinum in a Mongolian chromite sample were 32.6 ${\pm}$ 2.2 ${\mu}g$/g and 1.6 $\pm$ 0.14 ${\mu}g$/g, respectively. Palladium was not detected.

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.

In this study, we isolated porphyran was isolated from the red seaweed Porphyra yezoensis and assessed in terms of in vitro anti-proliferative activity. Sequential anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography led to purification of 3 porphyrans of different molecular masses, which contained <$50\;{\mu}g/mL$ protein and >$10\;{\mu}g/mL$ porphyran. Crude porphyran inhibited cell growth in a dose-dependent manner (0-5 mg/mL). When HT-29 colon cancer cells and AGS gastric cancer cells were cultured with various concentrations of the purified porphyran, cancer cell growth was inhibited by 50% at a low concentration (5 or $10\;{\mu}g/mL$). Furthermore, the polysaccharide portion of the porphyran preparation, rather than the protein portion, is the most effective at inhibiting cancer cell proliferation via apoptosis, as indicated by increased caspase-3 activity. Our results indicate that purified porphyran has significant in vitro anti-proliferative activity (p<0.05).

Interactions between thiamine.HCl and its disulfide derivatives TTFD. TPD and .alpha., .betha. cyclodextrins were investigated. By measuring the H-NMR, C-NMR chemical shifts, the assumption that cyclodextrin may from a inclusion complex with thiamines was supported qualitatively. To calculated the stability constants of them, anion exchange chromatography was applied. The simple, rapid HPLC method was proved to be pertinent thiamine/cyclodextrin system which was chemically unstable and less soluble.

A terpolymer of vinylbenzyl chloride-co-ethyl methacrylate-co-styrene (VBC-EMA-St) was prepared for membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) by radical polymerization and amination reaction of various amination times. Nonfluoro aminated VBC-EMA-St anion-exchange membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry. Molecular weight, polydispersity and thermal stability were obtained by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The basic properties such as water uptake, ion exchange capacity, electrical resistance and CDI charge-discharge current were measured. The optimal values of ion exchange capacity, water uptake, electrical resistance and molecular weight of synthesized anion-exchange membrane were 1.69 meq/g, 23.7%, 1.61 ${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and $3.4{\times}10^4$ g/mol, respectively. As compared with conventional membrane, the pattern of cyclic charge-discharge current of synthesized anion-exchange membrane indicated efficient electrosorption and desorption.

Aryl acylamidase [EC 3.5.1.13] present in an acetaminophen-assimilating Pseudomonas sp. has been purified to a homogeneity using series of ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sephacel anion exchange, Phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B hydrophobic, and Sephadex G-100 gel-permeation chromatography. The molecular weight, which was estimated by gel-permeation filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacylamide gel electrophoresis, was about 57 kDa and 56 kDa, respectively, indicating that this enzyme is a monomeric protein. The optimum pH was 10.5 and the optimum temperature was 40$^{\circ}C$. After incubation of the enzyme at 50$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, residual activity of the enzyme was 34% compared to its original activity. The Km values for acetaminophen and 4'-nitroactanilide were 0.10 mM and 0.11 mM, respectively.

The simulated nuclear spent fuel (SIMFUEL) containing the platinum group elements which will not be dissolved in a nitric acid was completely dissolved with a acid digestion bomb. The metallic elements separated in the SIMFUEL were measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Because the peaks of metallic elements were spectrally interfered by uranium spectrum, uranium and metallic elements were separated by cation exchange resin for Mo, Pd, Rh and Ru and by anion exchange resin for Ba, Ce, La, Nd, Rh, Sr, Y and Zr, respectively. The recovery of Mo, Pd, Rh and Ru after separation by cation exchange chromatography found to be 99-103% and anion exchange separation showed 96.5-107% of recovery except Y with the simulated solution whose concentration was similar to the spent nuclear fuel. The relative standard deviation of this method showed 1.3-6.7% in the SIMFUEL whose concentrations of metallic elements were between several $10^2-10^3$ppm.
