본 연구에서는 리그노셀룰로스 가수분해물과 유사한 조성을 갖는 합성 용액을 이용하여 무독화 실험을 진행하였다. 생물학적 무독화 방법으로는 peroxidase와 laccase와 같은 효소를 이용하였고, 이온교환과 흡착과 같은 물리화학적 방법으로는 이온교환수지와 활성탄을 이용하였다. 효소 중 peroxidase는 페놀계 화합물의 제거에 탁월한 효율을 보였으며, 5-HMF와 furfural은 활성탄에 의해 거의 모두 제거되었고, 아세트산은 음이온교환수지를 사용하는 것이 가장 효율적이었다. 활성탄과 이온교환수지는 다소간의 당손실을 일으켰다. 무독화 방법은 당화액에 포함되어 있는 저해물질의 조성을 고려하여 결정되어야 한다.

효모나 세균을 이용한 메칠글리옥살 대사의 효소학적, 유전학적 연구로부터 생물체들은 메칠글리옥살의 해독을 위하여 보편적이고 다양한 경로를 가지고 있음을 알았다. 이들 대사경로 가운데 글리옥살라아제 I은 메칠글리옥살 해독에 있어서 가장 중요한 경로이다. 글리옥살라아제 I의 분자구조는 효소의 기원에 따라 크게 다르게 나타났고, 아연 이온은 효소활성에 필수적이었다. Pseudomonas putida의 글리옥살라아제 I은 유전자는 메칠글리옥살리아의 제거제로 작용하였고, 또한 세균의 크기를 조절하는 역활을 가지고 있었다. 본 유전자의 염기배열과 정제효소의 아미노 말단을 비교해 본 결과 아미노 말단의 메치오닌 잔기는 번역 후 제거 됨을 알았다. 그밖에 글리옥살라아제 I의 생리학적 역활에 대해서도 논의하였다.

Pesticide waste and chemical stockpiles are posing a potential threat to both Vie environment and human health. There is currently a great effort toward developing effective and economical methods for the detoxification of these toxic organophosphates. In terms of safety and economy, enzymatic biodegradation has been recommended as the most promising tool to detoxify these toxic materials. To develop an enzymatic degradation method to detoxify such toxic organophosphorus compounds, a gene encoding organophosphorus acid anhydrolase (OPAA) from genomic DNA of Alteromonas haloplanktis C was subcloned and expressed. The enzyme consists of a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 48 kDa. It demonstrates strong hydrolyzing activity on sarin, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Moreover, its high activity is sustained for a considerable length of time. It is projected that the recombinant OPAA can be applied as an enzymatic tool that can be used not only for the detoxification of pesticide wastes, but also for the demilitarization of chemical stockpiles.

The effects of the DWP-04 [DDB:selenium yeast:glutathione (31.1 : 6.8 : 62.1 (w/w%)] on acetaminophen detoxification enzyme system were studied in rats. Treatment with DWP-04 was prevented againt acetaminophen-induiced hepatotoxicity in rat as evidenced by the decreased formation of lipid peroxide. Effect of DWP-04 on the activities of free radical-generating enzymes, free radical scavenging enzymes and glutathione-related enzymes as well as detoxification mechanism of DWP-04 against acetaminophen-treated was investigated in rat. Activities of cytochrome p450, cytochrome b5, aminopyrine demethylase and aniline hydroxylase as free radical-generating enzymes activities were decreased by the treatment with DWP-04 against acetaminophen treated. Although acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity results in the significantly decrease in the level of hepatic glutathione and activities of glutathine S-transferase, quinone reductase, glutathione reductase and ${\gamma}-glutamyl-$cysteine synthetase, these decreasing effects were markedly lowered in the DWP-04-treated rat. Therefore, it was concluded that the mechanism for the observed preventive effect of DWP-04 against the acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity was associated with the decreased activities in the free radical-generating enzyme system.

This study compared the composition and texture of muscle and levels of detoxification and antioxidant enzymes in the livers of stocked and cultivated rockfish Sebastes schlegeli released after the primary culture stage in Tongyoung, South Korea. The crude lipid content of muscle was significantly higher ($P$<0.05) in cultivated rockfish than stocked rockfish, while the texture did not differ significantly ($P$>0.05). The condition factor (CF) and hepatosomatic index (HSI) did not differ significantly and the growth of stocked and cultivated rockfish was similar. The levels of the detoxification enzymes cytochrome P450 (CYP) and Ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) were significantly lower in the livers of stocked rockfish, perhaps because of their reduced exposure to xenobiotic compounds. In addition, stocked rockfish had a significantly ($P$<0.05) lower CAT and higher GR than cultivated rockfish, but similar levels of tGPx, SOD, GSH, and GSSG. The present study shows that the growth rates of stocked and cultivated rockfish are similar and that stocked rockfish are exposed to fewer xenobiotic compounds and less oxidative stress.

Gastrointestinal tract of ruminants as well as monogastric animals are colonised by a variety of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Gastrointestinal ecosystem, especially the rumen is emerging as an important source for enrichment and natural selection of microbes adapted to specific conditions. It represents a virtually untapped source of novel products (e.g. enzymes, antibiotics, bacteriocins, detoxificants and aromatic compounds) for industrial and therapeutic applications. Several gastrointestinal bacteria and fungi implicated in detoxification of anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) can be modified and manipulated into promising system for detoxifying feed stuffs and enhancing fibre fermentation both naturally by adaptation or through genetic engineering techniques. Intestinal lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and butyrivibrios are being thoroughly investigated and widely recommended as probiotics. Restriction endonucleases and native plasmids, as stable vectors and efficient DNA delivery systems of ruminal and intestinal bacteria, are increasingly recognised as promising tools for genetic manipulation and development of industrially useful recombinant microbes. Enzymes can improve the nutrient availability from feed stuffs, lower feed costs and reduce release of wastes into the environment. Characterization of genes encoding a variety of commercially important enzymes such as cellulases, xylanases, $\beta$-glucanases, pectinases, amylases and phytases will foster the development of more efficacious and viable enzyme supplements and enzyme expression systems for enhancing livestock production.

We examined the effects of polysaccharides extracted from Asterina pectinifera on the activities of quinone reductase (QR), glutathione S-transferase (GST), ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and glutathione (GSH) levels in HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cells. We found that the polysaccharides extract induced QR activity in a dose-dependent manner over a concentration range of $20-60\;{\mu}g/ml$ and increased GST activity as much as 1.4-fold over controls. GSH levels were increased 1.3- and 1.5-fold with the extract at 40 and $60\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. The activity and protein expression of ODC in 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced colon cancer cells was inhibited by the extract. The polysaccharides suppressed TPA-induced prostaglandin (PG) production. These data indicate that polysaccharides from A. pectinifera increase phase II detoxification enzyme activity and inhibit ODC and COX-2 activities in HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Consequently, this effect may contribute to the protective effect of polysaccharides from A. pectinifera against colon cancer.

To examine the possibility of biomonitoring of heavy metal removal ability and soil, a study was performed to investigate the heavy metal removal ability and metal-binding protein (MBP) as detoxification process using Oenanthe stolonifera. After O. stolonifera was exposed to individuals (cadmium, zinc) and mixture (cadmium+zinc)for 4 days, removal rate of heavy metal and pH in the treatment medium was measured. MBP was assayed by means of ion exchange column chromatography. The exposure to mixture (Cd:76.8%, Zn:75%) rather than individuals (Cd:82.9%, Zn:90.4%) showed a synergism raising the toxic effect. Initial removal rate was different for each heavy metal : in case of exposure to cadmium it was over 60% on day 1, while for zinc it was 75~90% on day 4. Throughout the experimental period, pH value of treatment medium continuously decreased, since cortex in the roots may secret organic acid to adjust and prevent toxicity of metals. The existence or MBP in the 70~80 fraction and the presence of Zn-enzyme pool was ascertained with the column chromatography. This study demonstrated a possibility that heavy utilized as a biomarker of heavy metal pollution.

There are now increasing evidences that free radicals and reactive oxygen species are involved in a variety of pathological events. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are produced during normal cellular function. ROS lead to lipid peroxidation, massive protein oxdiation and degradation. Under normal conditions, antioxidant are substnaces that either directly or indirectly protect cell against adverse effect of ROS. several biologically important compound include ${\beta}$-carotene, taruine and flavonoids reported have antioxidant function. The various antioxidant either scavange superoxide and free radicals or stimulate the detoxification mechanisms within cells resulting in increased detoxification of free radicals formation and thus in prevention of many pathophysiologic processes. This study carried out to investigate the antioxidant activity of flavonoids, myricetin with other antioxidants, ${\beta}$-carotene and taurine on B16Fl0. In order to investigate the efficacy of antioxidant activity, we measured cell viability, antioxidant enzyme activity (SOD, GPX, CAT) and intracellular reactive oxygen intermediate (ROI). In this results, we show that these flavonoids with other antioxidant substrates are increased antioxidant activity level.
