The presence of polyphosphate phosphohydrolase (PPPH) and tripolyphosphate phosphohydrolase (TPPH) in Chlorella ellipsoidea were confirmed from the cell-free extract of the algal cells and three forms of PPPH were isolated, purified, and measured Km-Vmax value and inhibitory effect by metal ions, respectively. PPPH was most active at pH7.2, whereas TPPH at pH 7.6. Both enzymes exhibited their maximum activity at $37^{\circ}C$. For the manifestation of catalytic activity, divalent, divalent metal ions are needed, and the best activator for both enzymes was $Co^{++}\;ions\;(10^{-3}M)$. These enzymes were inhibited by $Hg^{++}\;ions\;(10^{-3}M)$ considerably. PPPH from Chlorella ellipsoidea was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-25, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100, and some properties of the three different fraction with PPPH activity $(PPPH_1,\;PPPH_2,\;and\;PPPH_3)$ were found, i.e, PPPH has multiple form. The Km values of $PPPH_1,\;PPPH_2,\;and\;PPPH_3$ obstained were $6.25{\times}10^{-4}M,\;10^{-4}M-4/M,\;and\;3.33{times}10^{-4}M$ and Vmax were 3.33 mM/min, 3.33 mM/min, and 2.67 mM/min, respectively. It was shown that the types of inhibition of $Hg^{++} on the activities of three forms of PPPH were competitive inhibition.

NADH-quinone reductase was purified 22-fold from the cytosolic fraction of Streptomyces sp. Imsnu-1 to apparent hemogenity, with an overall yield of 9%, by the purification procedure consisting of ammonium, sulfate precipitation and DEAE Sephacryl S-200 and DEAE 5 PW chromatographies. Thes molecular mass of the enzyme determined by gel filtration chromatography was found to be 110 kDa. SDS-PAGE revealed that the enzyme consists of two sugunits with a molecular mass of 54 kDa. The enzyme contained 1 mol of FMN per subunit as a cofactor. The $A_{272}$ A$_{457}$ ratio was 6.14 and the molar extinction coefficients were calculated to be 20, 800 and 25, 400M$^{-1}$ $cm^{-1}$ / AT 349 AND 457 nm, respectively. The N-terminal sequence of the enzyme contained the highly conserved fingerprint of ADP-binding domain. The enzyme used NADH as an electron donor and various quinones as electron acceptors. Cytochrome c was practically inactive. Air-stable flavin semiquinone was produced by the addition of NADH to the enzyme. Also, naphthosemiquinone was detected in the reaction mixture containing the enzyme.

Granular maize starch was treated with Thermus scotoductus 4-${\alpha}$-glucanotransferase (${\alpha}$-GTase), and its physicochemical properties were determined. The gelatinization and pasting temperatures of ${\alpha}$-GTase-modified starch were decreased by higher enzyme concentrations. ${\alpha}$-GTase treatment lowered the peak, setback, and [mal viscosity of the starch. At a higher level of enzyme treatment, the melting peak of the amylose-lipid complex was undetectable on the DSC thermogram. Also, ${\alpha}$-GTase-modified starch showed a slower retrogradation rate. The enzyme treatment changed the dynamic rheological properties of the starch, leading to decreases in its elastic (G') and viscous (G") moduli. ${\alpha}$-GTase-modified starch showed more liquid-like characteristics, whereas normal maize starch was more elastic and solid-like. Gel permeation chromatography of modified starch showed that amylose was degraded, and a low molecular-weight fraction with $M_w$ of $1.1{\times}10^5$ was produced. Branch chain-length (BCL) distribution of modified starch showed increases in BCL (DP>20), which could result from the glucans degraded from amylose molecules transferred to the branch chains of amylopectin by inter-/intra-molecular transglycosylation of ${\alpha}$-GTase. These new physicochemical functionalities of the modified starch produced by ${\alpha}$-GTase treatment are applicable to starch-based products in various industries.

In the present study, in attempt was made to observe the effect of lipid components in pantocrin and antler velvet and sponge layers extracts on the aldolase activity in the rat spinal nerves. The antler chloroform-methanol (2:1) extracts are known to be composed of neutral lipids, cholesterol, cerebrosides, spingomyelin, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl serine and gangliosides. The antler extracts were studied on the aldolase activity in the rat spinal nerves. The aldolase activity was measured by the method of Lehninger. To investigate the components of tile extracts which affect the enzyme activity, the chloroform-methanol (2:1) extracts of antler were fractionated into petroleum ether soluble and insoluble fractions and their effects on the enzyme activity were compared. It was found that the chloroform-methanol (2:1) extracts of the antler sponge and velvet layers as well as those petroleum ether soluble fractions obtained from the chloroform-methanol (2:1) extracts, decrease the aldolase activity by 18-23%. However, pantocrin showed increasing effect on the aldolase activity by 42.6%. The petroleum ether insoluble fraction of the chloroform-methanol (2:1) -extract showed no significant increasing activity (about 13%) on the spinal nerves aldolase. The components of pantocrin ind the petroleum ether insoluble fractions were attempted to analysize by thin layer (silica gel) and gas liquid chromatography.

4,4'-Methylenebis(2-chlorobenzenamine) (MOCA)-free fast curing polyurethanes were prepared. In this study, the processibility of a fast curing polyurethane system was characterized by assessing the pot life. The obtained pot life of the polyurethane was 6-8 s, indicating that this prepolymer-curative system is appropriate for ribbon flow casting. The influence of the NCO index on the viscosity and mechanical properties was evaluated. The viscosity, tensile strength, tear strength, and hardness of the as-prepared polyurethanes showed an increasing trend, with an increase in the NCO index, whereas the elongation at break increased initially and then decreased with an increase in the NCO index. The gel fraction and crosslink density showed a direct correlation with the NCO index, which substantiated the improved mechanical properties at the higher NCO index. The coefficients of friction and abrasion deteriorated with an increase in the NCO index.
