우유 casein단백질을 trypsin, alcalase, neutrase, protamax, S. aureus type V8 등의 단백질분해효소를 이용하여 가수분해시키고 생성된 peptide의 철분가용화능을 측정하였을 때, trypsin과 alcalase에 의해 생성된 peptide들이 pH 6의 조건에서 각각 6.42와 $2.37\;{\mu}g/mL$를 가용화시키는 능력을 보였으며 그외의 protease들은 $1\;{\mu}g/mL$내외의 철분가용화능을 보였다. Trypsin과 alcalase에 의해 생성된 peptide를 역상 column으로 10개의 분획으로 나누어서 각각의 분획의 pH6에서의 철분가용화능을 측정한 결과, trypsin의 경우 분획 5에서 가장 높은 철분가용화능$(2.33\;{\mu}g/mL)$이 발견되었으며 alcalase의 경우에는 분획 7이 가장 높은 철분가용화능$(1.56\;{\mu}g/mL)$을 보였다. 이들 철분과 결합력이 있는 peptide를 분리하기 위하여 IMAC의 방법을 이용하여 철분을 chelating sepharose fast flow column에 고정화 시키고 이들 철분에 흡착하는 peptide의 분리를 시도한 결과, trypsin이나 alcalase에 의해 생성된 peptide중 철분을 가용화시키는 능력이 높은 peptide들이 IMAC에 의해 효과적으로 분리되었다.

본 연구에서는 고부가가치 의약단백질인 human growth hormone을 고순도로 얻기 위하여 재조합 대장균을 이용하여 ubiquitin이 융합된 형태로 단백질을 발현시키고, 이를 분해하는 ubiquitin-specific pretense를 발현시켜 이를 분리 ${\cdot}$ 정제하고 효소특성을 살펴보았다. UBP1 enzyme을 재조합 대장균을 이용하여 발현하고 분리 ${\cdot}$ 정제한 결과, 분자량은 약 83.5kDa이었으며, $40^{\circ}C$, pH 8.0에서 최대 효소활성을 보였다.

Thrombin is a serine protease that catalyzes the conversion of soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin, and thus induces physiological and pathological blood coagulation. Therefore, it is important to detect thrombin in blood serum for purposes of diagnosis. To achieve this goal, it has been suggested that a 15-mer aptamer strongly binds with thrombin to form a G-quartet structure of the aptamer. Generally, 5'-end thiol-functionalized aptamer has been used as an anti-thrombin binder. Herein, we evaluate the possibility of utilizing a 3'-SH aptasensor for thrombin detection using SPR spectroscopy, and compare the enhancement of the electrochemical signal of the thrombin-aptamer bound on a porous gold substrate. Although the two aptamers have similar configurations, in SPR analysis, the 3'-SH aptamer was a effective aptasensor as well as 5'-SH aptamer. Results from electrochemical analysis showed that the porous gold substrate acted as a good substrate for an aptasensor and demonstrated 5-fold enhancement of current change, as compared to gold thin film.

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is considered as an antitumor agent owing to its ability to induce apoptosis of cancer cells without imparting toxicity toward most normal cells. TRAIL is produced in poor yield because of its insoluble expression in the cytoplasm of E. coli. In this study, we achieved soluble expression of TRAIL by fusing maltose-binding protein (MBP), b'a' domain of protein disulfide isomerase (PDIb'a'), or protein disulfide isomerase at the N-terminus of TRAIL. The TRAIL was purified using subsequent immobilized metal affinity chromatography and amylose-binding chromatography, with the tag removal using tobacco etch virus protease. Approximately 4.5 mg of pure TRAIL was produced from 125 ml flask culture with a purification yield of 71.6%. The endotoxin level of the final product was $0.4EU/{\mu}g$, as measured by the Limulus amebocyte lysate endotoxin assay. The purified TRAIL was validated and shown to cause apoptosis of HeLa cells with an $EC_{50}$ and Hill coefficient of $0.6{{\pm}}0.03nM$ and $2.41{\pm}0.15$, respectively. The high level of apoptosis in HeLa cells following administration of purified TRAIL indicates the significance and novelty of this method for producing high-grade and high-yield TRAIL.
