A. nidulans chitin deacetylase를 자가분해 용액으로부터 소수성 상호작용 컬럼 크로마토그래피와 이온 교환 컬럼 크로마토그래피를 통해 순수 분리하였다. 효소 활성에 관여하는 아미노산을 분석하기 위해 효소 단백질과 특정 아미노산 잔기에 작용하는 화학 수식제를 반응시켜 효소를 화학 수식하였다. histidine 잔기가 화학 수식된 효소는 효소활성을 100% 상실하였으며, arginine의 잔기 혹은 tyrosine 잔기는 100 ${\mu}M$보다 높은 농도의 수식제로 화학수식 되었을 때 효소활성이 감소하였다. Aspartic acid 혹은 glutamic acid의 carboxyl group 잔기의 화학수식은 효소활성의 상대적으로 작은감소를 나타냈다. 이것은 산성 아미노산의 잔기가 화학 촉매 반응에 직접 관여하지 않았거나 혹은 산성 아미노산 잔기는 효소단백질의 전반적인 구조에 영향을 미친다는 것을 추론할 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 효소 단백질의 촉매활성에 histidine, tyrosine 및 arginine 잔기가 중요한 역할을 담당하는 것을 의미한다.

Bacillus subtilis HK176 with high fibrinolytic activity was isolated from cheonggukjang, a Korean fermented soyfood. A gene, aprE176, encoding the major fibrinolytic enzyme was cloned from B. subtilis HK176 and overexpressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) using plasmid pET26b(+). The specific activity of purified AprE176 was 216.8 ± 5.4 plasmin unit/mg protein and the optimum pH and temperature were pH 8.0 and 40℃, respectively. Error-prone PCR was performed for aprE176, and the PCR products were introduced into E. coli BL21(DE3) after ligation with pET26b(+). Mutants showing enhanced fibrinolytic activities were screened first using skim-milk plates and then fibrin plates. Among the mutants, M179 showed the highest activity on a fibrin plate and it had one amino acid substitution (A176T). The specific activity of M179 was 2.2-fold higher than that of the wild-type enzyme, but the catalytic efficiency (k_cat/K_m) of M179 was not different from the wild-type enzyme owing to reduced substrate affinity. Interestingly, M179 showed increased thermostability. M179 retained 36% of activity after 5 h at 45℃, whereas AprE176 retained only 11%. Molecular modeling analysis suggested that the 176^th residue of M179, threonine, was located near the cation-binding site compared with the wild type. This probably caused tight binding of M179 with Ca²⁺, whichincreased the thermostability of M179.

Strptomyces albus T-12 which ahd been isolated and identified in the laboratory, was selected for the studies on the cultural conditions on the production of D-xylose iosmerase and the enzymological characteristics using the partially purified enzyme. The best results in the enzyme production came from D-xylose medium than wheat bran. The divalent metla ions as $Co^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Zn^{2+}\;and\;Cu^{2+}$ retard or inhibit the cell-growth at the early stages of mycelia propagations, and T-12 strain is especially sensitive to $Co^{2+}$. After 60 hours of shaking cultivation at $30^{\circ}C$ and 200 rpm, a maximum enzyme activitz, 0.49 enzyme units, was obtained. Cell-free enzyme obtained from mycelia heat-treated in the prescence of 0.5mM $Co^{2+}$, showed a 2.4-fold increase in specific than the enzyme from untreated mycelia. The specific activity of the purified enzyme through Sephadex G-150 columm showed 180 fold to the crude enzyme. The effective activators of the enzyme appeared to be $Mg^{2+}\;and\;Co^{2+}$ ions, and it exhibited the maximal enzyme activity showed at pH 7.0 and at tempersture around $80^{\circ}C$ when $Mg^{2+}\;and\;Co^{2+}$ ions were added. The enzyme isomerized D-glucose, D-xylose, D-ribose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, and L-rhamnose in the present of $Mg^{2+}\;and\;Co^{2+}$ ions as an activatiors. $Mg^{2+}\;and\;Co^{2+}$ ions were non-competitively bound at different allosterix sites of enzyme molecule. $Mg^{2+}(5mM)\;or\;Co^{2+}(1.0mM)$ protected against the thermal denaturations of the enzyme activities. The michelis constant(Km) and $V_{max}$ values of the emzyme for D-glucose and D-xylose were 0.52M, $2.12{\mu}moles/ml{\cdot}min.\;and\;0.28M,\;0.65moles/ml{\cdot}min.$, respectively.

Bacteriophage T4 endonuclease V initiates the repair of ultraviolet (UV)-induced pyrimidine dimer photoproducts in duplex DNA. The mechanism of DNA strand cleavage involves four sequential stens: linear diffusion along dsDNA, pyrimidine dimer-specific binding,l pyrimidine dimer-DNA glycosylase activity, and Af lyase activity. Although crystal structure is known for this enzyme, solution structure has not been yet known. In order to elucidate the solution structure of this enzyme NMR spectroscopy was used. As a basis for the NMR peak assignment of the protein, HSQC spectrum was obtained on the uniformly $\^$15/N-labeled T4 endonuclease V. Each amide peak of the spectrum were classified according to amino acid spin systems by interpreting the spectrum of $\^$15/N amino acid-specific labeled T4 endonuclease V. The assignment was mainly obtained from three-dimensional NMR spectra such as 3D NOESY-HMQC, 3D TOCSY-HMQC. These experiments were carried out will uniformly $\^$15/N-labeled sample. In order to assign tile resonance of backbon atom, triple-resonance theree-dimensional NMR experiments were also performed using double labeled($\^$15/N$\^$13/C) sample. 3D HNCA, HN(CO)CA, HNCO, HN(CA)HA spectra were recorded for this purpose. The results of assignments were used to interpret the interaction of this enzyme with DNA. HSQC spectrum was obtained for T4 endonuclease V with specific $\^$15/N-labeled amino acids that have been known for important residue in catalysis. By comparing the spectrum of enzyme*DNA complex with that of the enzyme, we could confirm the important role of some residues of Thr, Arg, Tyr in activity. The results of assignments were also used to predict the secondary structure by chemical shift index (CSI).

On the basis of the semen analysis in 66 subjects, they were divided into six different groups: Group I consisted of 16 normal subjects with sperm counts of over 40 ${\times}10^6$/ml and motility of over 40 percent, Group II, 7 subjects with normal sperm counts, but motility of under 40 percent, Group III, 15 oligospermic patients with under 40 ${\times}10^6$/ml, Group IV 14 azoospermic patients, Group V, 10 patients with vasectomy and Group VI, 4 abnormal patients with 2 cases of hypoplastic testis, 1 case of Klinefelter's syndrome and 1 case of testis tumor. After seperation of semen into sperm and seminal plasma by centrifugation, the protein contents and the activities of hyaluronidase, ${\beta}$-N acetylglucosaminidase, ${\beta}$-glucuronidase, arylsulfatase, acrosin and azocoll proteinase in seminal plasma were measured. Vasectomy group has 30 percent less of total protein than normal group. For the comparison of enzyme activities of seminal plasma, it could be assumed that the enzymes in seminal plasma were not contaminated with the enzymes of spermatozoa by testing the enzymes of the seminal plasma from the vasectomy and azoospermic groups. It had been reported that hyaluronidase was only released from spermatozoa, however, the result obtained in this investigation showed that azoospermic and vasectomy group had high specific activities of hyaluronidase. The results indicated that hyaluronidase was not only from the testis but also from the male accessory sexual glands. Oligospermic group (Group III) showed the lowest total activity of hyaluronidase among them. The specific activities of ${\beta}$ -N-acetylglucosaminidase was high in oligospermic group (Group III) and low in vasectomy group (Group V). These results were contradictory with the pattern of hyaluronidase activities. This indicated that the spermatozoa which were stayed in epididymis would increase the activity of this enzyme. The specific activity of ${\beta}$ - glucuronidase was low in oligospermic and vasectomy groups. Group VI including testis tumor had remarkably high arylsulfatase activity. Arylsulfatase, a typical lysosomal enzyme, has been known to be released unusually large amounts from certain tumor cells. Arylsulfatase was also released with high activities from azoospermic and vascetomy group. This result indicated that this enzyme was also released from the sources other than testis. Acrosin, a proteolytic enzyme locating in the sperm acrosome, was not found throughout all the samples of seminal plasma. The activities of azocoll proteinase, a non-specific neutral proteinase was nearly identical in all the groups. This enzyme must have been released from the sources other than testis.

2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT)을 분해할 수 있는 Stenotrophomonas sp. OK-5에서 분리한 NAD(P)H-nitroreductase의 특성을 조사하였다. 먼저 ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-sepharose, 그리고 Q-sepharose 등의 일련의 정제 과정을 통하여 NAD(P)H-nitroreductase을 분리정제하였다. 분취기로부터 얻어진 시료로부터 NAD(P)H-nitroreductase의 효소활성을 가지는 3개의 다른 fractions (I, II 및 III)이 탐침되었다. NAD(P)H-nitroreductase의 fractions I, II, 그리고 III의 비활성(specific activity)은 각각 5.06 unit/mg, 4.95 unit/mg, and 4.86 unit/mg이었으며, crude extract와 비교하여 각각 10.5배, 9.8배, 8.9배 이상 농축되었다. 이 실험에서 이들 3개의 fractions 가운데, fraction I이 가장 높은 비활성을 나타내었다. NAD(P)H-nitroreductase (fractions I, II 및 III)의 효소활성에 영향을 미치는 몇 가지 요인을 조사하였다. 모든 NAD(P)H-nitroreductase (fractions I, II 및 III)의 최적 온도는 30$^{\circ}C$이었으며, 최적 pH는 약 7.5이었다. 4Ag^+, Cu_2^+, Hg_2^+$ 등의 금속이온은 약 80%의 효소활성을 저해하였으나, $Mn_2^+ 이나 Ca_2^+$의 첨가 시에는 약 30~40% 정도의 활성이 감소되었다. 그러나 $Fe_3^+$은 이들 효소의 활성을 증진시켰다. SDS-PAGE에 의해 측정된 NAD(P)H-nitroreductase의 fractions I, II 및 III의 분자량은 모두 약 27 kDa임이 확인되었다.
