We investigated changes in photosynthesis and activity of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) that scavenges ROS as responses to oxidative stress induced by salinity in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Photosynthetic efficiency of rice leaves, monitored in terms of Fv/Fm, declined with the increase of salt concentration (100-300 mM NaCl). Salinity caused an increase of $H_2O_2$ in leaves of rice, with an increase of APX activity. Among total APX isoforms, an isoform of stromal-APX 1 in leaves of rice was completely inactivated by 300 mM NaCl, but was not affected by chilling or drought. The results suggest that salt stress acts in quite a different mechanism in relation to the activity of stromal-APX from that of other stresses such chilling and drought. We carried out RT-PCR for analysis of genes expression of APX isoforms as affected by salt stress. The expression of cytosolic APX/thylakoid-bound APX genes in leaves of rice exposed to salt stress was increased, while stromal APX gene expression rapidly declined.

Peroxidase from Jerusalem artichoke tubers, which might be related to browning reaction, was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose and Sephacryl S-200 chromatography. The optimum pH of the purified peroxidase was 5.0 and relatively stable at pH $5.0{\sim}6.0$ using substrate of p-phenylenediamine and $H_2O_2$. D-values for thermal inactivation at 60, 70 and $80^{\circ}C$ were 86, 45 and 33 sec, respectively. Activation energy was 4,111 J/mole. The enzyme showed the most sensitive specificity of substrate for p-phenylenediamine. The compounds such as 1mM potassium cyanide, 10mM sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, L-ascorbic acid, sodium hydrosulfite and L-cysteine inhibited completely while 1mM of $Ca^{2+}\;and\;Cu^{2+}$ activated the purified peroxidase.

Peroxidase in the fruit of Malus sieboldii (Regel) Rehder was partially purified by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and Ultro-AcA 54 gel filtration. The optimum pH of peroxidase was 4.5 and optimum temperature was $80^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was stable at pH 5.0 and below $30^{\circ}C$, and inactivated by heat treatment at $80^{\circ}C$ for 15min. In the presence of 30mM $H_{2}O_2$ Km value on o-phenylenediamine as substrate was 1.65mM, and in the presence of 10mM o-phenylenediamine Km value on $H_{2}O_2$ was 7.97mM. L-Ascorbic acid and sodium L-ascorbate greatly inhibited the enzyme activity and among several metal ions $Mn^{2+}$ only increased the activity at 5mM.

Peroxidase was used as a standard enzyme to determine optimum blanching conditions of Flammulina velutipes and Lyophyllum ulmarium. Crude peroxidase extracted from raw mushrooms had maximum activity at $10{\sim}15^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.5 (50 mM, potassium phosphate buffer) using substrates of $H_2O_2$ and p-Phenylendiamine. Thermal inactivation of the crude peroxidase followed the first-order kinetics. The activation energy and z value of the crude peroxidase for F. velutipes were 59.58 kcal/mol and $9.0^{\circ}C$, whereas were 43.05 kcal/mol and $12.4^{\circ}C$ for L. ulmarium, respectively. On the basis of thermal kinetics parameters obtained, the optimum blanching conditions for F. velutipes and L. ulmarium were 1 min at $70^{\circ}C$ and 5 min at $80^{\circ}C$, respectively. Activation energies and z values of peroxidases extracted from heat-treated mushrooms were 7.97 and 6.55 kcal/mol, and $59.8^{\circ}C\;and\;74.1^{\circ}C$ for F. velutipes and L. ulmarium, respectively.

Disbudded epicotyl cuttings from light-grown 6-day-old seedings of Vigna angularis Owhi et Ohashi were preincubated in $2\;\times\;10^{-4}M$ IAA solution for 48 hr to promote adventitious root formation in upright or inverted direction and then incubated in upright direction for 96 hr. Adventitious root formation occurred only at the morphological base of the cuttings which were preincubated in upright direction, while at the both ends in inverted direction. IAA treatment enhanced the adventitious root formation in all cuttings regardless of their orientation during preincubation. To elucidate localized root development, the activity of enzymes involved in root initiation and development was measured 24 hr, 48 hr, and 148 hr after epicotyl incubation. IAA oxidase, peroxidase and catalase were assayed in the apical, middle and basal segment of the epicotyls, and their fresh weight and length were measured. Elongation occurred the most in the upper segment of the epicotyl while fresh weight gain was the most in the basal segment. At root initiation phase, 24 hr after incubation IAA peroxidase and catalase activities appeared high at rooting zone while IAA oxidase activity was low at both ends, IAA oxidase and peroxidase activities declined at the rooting zone during the adventitious root formation at 48 ht. Inversion of cuttings during preincubation caused a chrange of enzyme activities along their epicotyl cuttings. Only peroxidase activity showed a high correlation with root initiation. Therefore, the biochemical change is highly correlated with change in IAA level in the rooting zone of the epicotyl, resulting in root formation in unusual rooting zone of epicotyl.

본 연구는 항산화효소의 효율적 생산을 위한 적절한 수확시기의 결정 및 산업적 가치를 검토하고자, 제주도에 자생하는 문주란 (Crinum asiaticum var. japonicum)에서 항산화효소 (SOD, peroxidase, catalase, APX) 활성과 isoenzyme 패턴의 계절적 변화양상을 조사하였다. SOD isoenzyme 패턴을 전기영동으로 살펴보면, 전체적으로 7개의 isoenzyme이 검출되었으며, 여름철과 겨울철에 있어서 뚜렷한 차이가 없을 뿐 아니라 일변화에 있어서도 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그리고 이들 isoenzyme은 $H_2O$$_2$와 KCN에 의한 선택적 저해로부터 1개의 Mn-SOD와 6개의 CuZn-SOD로 구분할 수 있었다. Catalase는 단일밴드로 나타났으며, 여름철이 겨울철에 비해 높은 활성을 보였다. Peroxidase는 전체적으로 4개의 isoenzyme이 검출되었다. 이 중 peroxidase 1은 효소활성에는 차이가 있지만 여름철과 겨울철에 모두 검출되었으며, 3개의 isoenzyme (peroxidase 2-4)은 겨울철에만 특이적으로 검출되는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 여름철에는 낮시간에 다소 높은 활성을 보였으며, 겨울철에는 낮시간보다는 새벽과 밤에 높은 활성을 보였다. APX는 8개의 isoenzyme이 검출되었으며, 여름철과 겨울철에 있어서 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보았을 때 SOD, catalase, peroxidase, APX 등 항산화효소의 산업적 생산을 위한 채취는 수확량을 감안하였을때 여름철이 적정 채취시기로 보인다. 그리고 문주란의 catalase와 peroxidase는 SOD나 APX는 달리 단일 밴드 또는 주요 밴드가 있고 높은 활성을 보여 정제시 유리하게 작용할 것으로 보인다. prospects will be also discussed.behaviors to ferromagnetic behavior was observed. Tunneling barrier called "decay length for tunneling" for the films having the thickness of Co layer from 1.4 to 1.6 nm was measured to be ranged from 0.004 to 0.021 ${\AA}$$\^$-1/.문에 기업간 관계를 연구하는 측면에서는 탐험적 연구성격이 강하다. 더 나아가 본 산업의 주된 연구가 질적이고 기업내부만을 연구했던 것에 비교하면 시초적이라고 할 수 있다. 또한 관계마케팅, CRM 등의 이론적 배경이 되고 있는 신뢰와 결속의 중요성이 재확인하는 결과도 의의라고 할 수 있다. 그리고 신뢰는 양사 간의 상호관계에서 조성될 수 있는 특성을 가진 반면, 결속은 계약관계 초기단계에서 성문화하고 규정화 할 수 있는 변수의 성격이 강하다고 할 수가 있다. 본 연구는 복잡한 기업간 관계를 지나치게 협력적 측면에서만 규명했기 때문에 많은 측면을 간과할 가능성이 있다. 또한 방법론적으로 일방향의 시각만을 고려했고, 횡단적 조사를 통하고 국내의 한 서비스제공업체와 관련이 있는 컨텐츠 공급파트너만의 시각을 검증했기 때문에 해석에서 유의할 필요가 있다. 또한 타당성확보 노력을 기하였지만 측정도구 면에서 엄격한 개발과정을 준수하지는 못했다. 향후에는 모바일 컨텐츠 파트너의 기업의 특성을 조사하여 관계성 변수와의 상호관련연구를 진행할 필요가 있다. 관계기간, 의존성, 거래처의 단/복수여부, 서비스 범주 등의 제반 변수를 고려하여 이러한 변수가 양사와의 관계성 변수에 어떤 영향이 있는가를 검증할 필요가 있다. 또한 신뢰, 결속 등 다차원의 개념

The activities of aminopyrine demethylase which is marker enzyme of the microsomal drug-metabolizing system, NADPH-cytochrome a reductase and glutathione peroxidase were measured during the course of liver regeneration after about seventy percent hepatectomy in Wistar rats. In addition, the extent of lipid peroxidation and contents of cytochrome P-450 were also measured. Partial hepatectomy produced a significant depression in aminopyrine demethylase, to reach a minium about 24 hours after operation, but this activity was increased to normal value during regeneration. On the other hand, in sham-operated animals, this showed no change. All the activities of NADPH-chrome P-450 contents of liver microsomes were rapidly decreased at the early stage of regeneration. These values returned to normal after 7 days. By contrast, the activity of glutathione peroxidase was nearly unchanged. According to these results, at the early stage of regeneration, the decrease of cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity lead to decrease of lipid peroxidation and drug metabolizing enzyme activity. But these phenomena were not detected after 7 days of regeneration.

Radioprotective effects of a red ginseng extracts on antioxidant enzymes(Superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase) activities relationship to lipid peroxidation were studied in the cytosol fraction of mice liver. The experiments were carried out on Irradiated (5.5 Gy, $^{\60}Co$) and non-irradiated ICR mice after treatment of red ginseng extracts (5.5mg/mouse ; ip), In wholebody irradiated mice, irradiation caused a decrease in the activity of all these enzymes(on Day 21) The activities of SOD, Catalase and Peroxidase of red ginseng extracts treated mice were enhanced by $35.4\%,\;20.2\%$ and $20.1\%$, compared with non-treated mice. The red ginseng extracts led to inhibited increase of malondialdehyde product by ionizing radiation. The enhanced activity of enzymes that removed free radicals generated by radiation and thereby indicate that ginseng probably plays on important role in radioprotective effect.
