Dendrimers are a novel class of nonlinear polymers and due to their extensive applications in different fields, called versatile polymers. Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers are one of the most important dendrimers that have many applications in nanobiotechnology and industry. Generally aldehyde terminated dendrimers are prepared by activation of amine terminated dendrimers by glutaraldehyde which has two problems, toxicity and possibility of crosslink formation. In this study, novel aldehyde-terminated PAMAM dendrimer was prepared and used for covalent immobilization of trypsin by the aim of finding a special reagent which can prevent crosslinking and deactivation of the enzyme. For this purpose aminoacetaldehydedimethylacetal (AADA) was used as spacer group between aldehyde-terminated PAMAM and trypsin.The findings of this study showed that immobilization of trypsin not only resulted higher optimal temperature, but also increased the thermal stability of the immobilized enzyme in comparison to the free enzyme.

The ${\beta}-glucosidase$ from olive fruit is of particular interest compared to the ones from other sources because it has shown to have high specifity to convert the oleuropein into dialdehydes, which have antibacterial activity and are of high interest for their application in the food and pharmaceutical fields. The enzyme is not yet commercially available and advanced clean and safe technologies for its purification able to maintain the functional stability are foreseen. The purification of this protein from fruit extracts has been already tempted by electrophoresis but either enzyme deactivation or high background with unclear profiles occurred. In this work, fruit extracts obtained from the ripening stage that showed the highest enzyme activity have been processed by diafiltration and ultrafiltration. Asymmetric membranes made of polyamide or polysulphone having 50 and 30 kDa molecular weight cut-off, respectively, were tested for the diafiltration process. Ultrafiltration membranes made of polyethersulfone with 4 kDa molecular weight cut-off were used to concentrate the dia-filtered permeate solutions. The efficiency of the separation processes was evaluated byenzyme activity tests using the hydrolysis of p-D-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (pNPGlc) as reaction model. Qualitative and quantitative electrophoresis were applied to analyze the composition of protein solution before and after the membrane separation; in addition dot blot and western blot analyses were applied to verify the presence of ${\beta}-glucosidase$ in the processed fractions. The overall results showed that the ${\beta}-glucosidase$ functional stability was preserved during the membrane operations and the removal of 20 kDa proteins allowed to increase the specific activity of the enzyme of about 52% compared to the one present in the initial fruit extract.

In order to investigate the effect of gallotannin treatment to ceramide-containing fabrics on atopic skin diseases, the agglomeration of standard protein BSA and the deactivation of model enzyme were examined. The gallotannin treated on ceramide-containing fabrics precipitated the standard protein, BSA, and therefore deactivated the model enzyme by 70% at 6% treatment concentration. Wash durability should be improved after around 5 cycles of washing. Clinical test of the gallotannin-treated fabrics was carried out on mice for two test items, transepidermal water loss assay and severity score of diseased skin of mice. The results showed significant level of improvement of atopic skin diseases compared with the negative controled.

The prodrug and antedrug concepts, which were developed to overcome the physical and pharmacological shortcomings of various therapeutic classes of agents, employ diametrically different metabolic transformations. The prodrug undergoes a predictable metabolic activation prior to exhibiting its pharmacological effects in a target tissue while the antedrug undergoes metabolic deactivation in the systemic circulation upon leaving a target tissue. An increased therapeutic index is the aspiration for both approaches in designing as well as evaluation criteria. The recent research endeavors of prodrugs include the gene-directed and antibody-directed enzymatic activation of a molecule in a targeted tissue, organ specific delivery, improved bioavailabilities and cellular penetration of nucleotides. As for antedrugs, emphasis in research has been based upon the design and synthesis of systemically inactive molecule by incorporating a metabolically labile functional group into an active molecule.

By the 505 chromotest which utilized Escherichia bolt PQ 37, Korean medicinal plants had been screened to Investigate the antimutagenic effect to aflatoxin B1(AFBl). Ikmocho(IMC, Leonurus sibiricus L.) was extracted with hot water. The extract was not found to be mutagenic in the Salmonella mutation test with or without metabolic activation, and the extract was showed to possess the antimutagenic properties towards AFB1-induced metation. The mutagenicity of AFB1 was inhibited by methanol soluble fracstion (IMC-MS) in dose-dependent. However, water-soluble fraction exhibited comutagenic activity. The greatest inhibitory effect of IMC-MS on AFB1 mutagenicity occurred when IMC-MS was first incubated, AFB1 followed by a second incubation with the cells and 59 mixture. Also lower inhibition was occurred when S9 mixtures were first incubated, with IMC-MS followed by a second incubation with AFBI. The results of the sequential incubation study support the probability that one mechanism of inhibition could involve the formation of chemical complex between IMC-MS and AFB1 rather than deactivation of S9 enzyme.

섬유소는 효소에 의한 가수분해에 의하여 유용한 화학물질이냐 연료 등으로 전환될 수 있다. 그러나 효소가 온도나 전단응력에 의해 쉽게 비활성화 되고 생성물인 당에 의한 억제 효과가 심각하기 때문에 효과적인 당화공정이 이루어지지 못하는 실정이다. 본 실험에서는 섬유소 가수분해에서의 두 효소, 즉 셀룰라아제 와 ${\beta}$-glucosidase의 통력학적 특정틀 을 이해하고, 생성물 억제영향 빛 효소의 비활성화 를 관찰하여, 섬유소의 고농도 당화 공정에 적용가 능한 통력학적 이론을 규명하고자 하였다. 셀룰라아제 벚 ${\beta}$-glucosidase는 다양한 통력학적 특정들을 보였으며, 반응기내에 5gN 의 포도당이 존재하여도 $\beta$glucosidase의 역가가 70% 이상 감소하는 것으로 나타나, 포도탕에 의한 ${\beta}$-glucosi­d dase의 억 제 영향이 가장 심각한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 셀로바이오스의 농도가 109/p 일때 역시 셀롤 라야제의 역가가 약 70% 감소하였다. ${\beta}$-glucosi dase의 경우 셀룰라아제와 비교하여 약 1.6배 정도 비활성화에 더 민강한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 당화 공정 모사 결과는 대체척으로 신뢰할 수 있는 범위의 결 과를 얻었으며, 가수분해가 진행되는동안 실험결과 와 모사에 의한 계산값은 잘 일치하였다.

Chitin을 35 mesh로 분쇄하여 강산과 강알카리로 처리하여 CHITA와 CHITB를 만들고 여기에 glutaraldehyde를 작용시켜 $\beta$-glucosidase를 고정하여 CHITA-Gase 및 CHITB-Gase를 제조하였다. 이 두 종류의 고정화 효소를 기질 p-nitropheol-$\beta$-D-gliucopyranoside(PNG)과 회분식 반응기, 연속 흐름 반응기 및 플러그 흐름 반응기에서 반응시켜 최적 온도, 최적 pH, 반응 속도 상수, 물질 전달 계수, 효율 인자 및 효소 불활성화 속도 등을 구하여 반응기별 효율을 검토하였다. 반응 최적 온도는 세가지의 반응기 모두 5$0^{\circ}C$였으며, 최적 pH는 플러그 흐름 반응기에서는 Nat-Gase와 같이 pH5.0이었고 회분식 반응기 및 연속 흐름 반응기에서는 최적 pH의 이동이 일어나 pH6.0으로 이었다. 반응기의 최적 조건에서 km값은 회분식 반응기에서 CHITB-Gase$1.725$\times$10^-^5M/1$가 CHITA-Gase($1.725$\times$10^-^5M/1$)보다 작았으며, 연속 흐름 반응기 및 플러그 흐름 반응기에서는 유속 증가에 따라 Km'치가 감소하는 경향을 보였고, CHITB-Gase가 CHITB-Gase보다 더 작았다. $V^m^a^x'$값은 회분식 반응기, 연속 흐름 반응기, 플러그 흐름 반응기에서 모두 CHITA-Gase가 CHITB-Gase보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고, 물질전달계수 및 효율인자, 효소 불활성화 속도등의 값은 환경은 CHITB-Gase의 것이 나은 것으로 나타났다. 이들의 결과에서 CHITA-Gase 및 CHITB-Gase는 기질과의 반응 환경이 좋으므로 chitind은 $\beta$-glucosidase의 좋은 지지체라고 판단되어 공업적 응용이 기대된다.

A mathematical model is proposed that can depict the kinetics of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) using steam-exploded wood(SEW) with a glucose- and cellobiose-fermenting yeast strain. Brettanomyces custersii. An expression to describe the reduction of the relative digestibility during the hydrolysis of the SEW is introduced in the hydrolysis model. The fermentation model also takes two new factors into account, that is, the effects of the inhibitory compounds present in the SEW hydrolysates on the microorganism and the fermenting ability of Brettanomyces custersii, which can use both glucose and cellobiose as carbon sources. The model equations were used to simulate the hydrolysis of the SEW, the fermentation of the SEW hydrolysates, and a batch SSF, and the results were compared with the experimental data. The model was found to be capable of representing ethanol production over a range of substrate concentrations. Accordingly, the limiting factors in ethanol production by SSF under the high concentration of the SEW were identified as the effect of inhibitory compounds present in the SEW, the enzyme deactivation, and a limitation in the digestibility based on the physical condition of the substrate.
