This experiment was executed to investigate the possibility of the application of taxonomic method through the isoelectric focusing with polyacrylamide gel and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with seeds in the identification of turfgrasses. The sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to investigate the pattern of seed proteins which were extracted from 18 cultivars of cool season turfgrass and 4 cultivars of warm season turfgrass. The isoelectric focusing with polyacrylarnide gel was used to investigate the activity of the three isozymes of esterase, peroxidase and phosphoglucose isomerase which were extracted from 18 cultivars of cool season turfgrass and 4 cultivars of warm season turfgrass. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The difference of the patterns of seed proteins was observed with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The identification of intra-genus was easily detected. 2. The three isozymes of esterase, peroxidase and phosphoglucose isomerase were investigated through isoelectric focusing with polyacrylamide gel. As a result, esterase was most effective among three isozymes in the identification of turfgrass cultivars 3. In the past cultivar identification was primarily based on visual morphological characters, but there was a lot of difficulty. If we should use electrophoresis, we will be able to identifvturfgrass cultivars more effectively.

A total 943 accession of soybeans (G. max) and 50 wild soybeans (G. soja) were examined for leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) isozyme variation by 5％ polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE) and isoelectric focusing(IEF) of pH 4~6.5. The Lap1*b by PAGE was the most common phenotype in both G. max and G. soja. The frequency of Lap1*b allele was observed to be higher in G. max(1.00) than in G. soja(0.96) of Korea. This result shows that G. max is fixed for Lapl*b allele at the Lap1 locus. LAP isozyme band type I and II were found using IEF of pH 4~6.5 in G. max and G. soja of Korea. Type I was observed from 92.8％ in G. max and 92.0％ in G. soja, and type II was discovered in 7.2％ G. max and 8.0％ G. soja. This result suggested the possibility to be found more various band types.

In order to identify hard distinct 12 fish species(shiba shrimp Metapenaeus joyneri, fleshy shrimp Penaeus orientalis, ridgetail prawn Palaemon carinicauda, yellow croaker Pseudosciaena manchurica, croaker Niber albiflora, Colichthyes fragilis, brown sole Limanda herzensteini, frog flounder Pleuronichthys cornutrs, Areliscus rhomaleus, stone flounder Kareius bicoloratus, harvest fish Pampus argenteus, flag fish Goniistius zonatus) by seeing with naked eye in Kunsan coastal area, sarcoplasmic protein in the supernatant was used for isoelectric focusing. For getting supernatant, fish muscle tissue was blended with two times deionized water and centrifuged (at $4^{\circ}C$, 12,000rpm for 15min). Isoelectric focusing of sarcoploasmic protein carried out on a LKB Multiphor II using polyacrylamide gel plate (2mm thickness, pH $3.5~10^{\circ}C$, pH 5~8 gradient, at $10^{\circ}C$ for 1.5, 3 hours). In case of uncertain protein pattern, pH gradient was modified to narrow pH gradiet, and excuted 2-D electrophoresis using conventional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Most of fishes except yellow croaker and Collichthyes fragilis were distingushed by isoelectric focusing. The protein maps of 2-D electrophoresis for analyzing two protein bands at aimilar positions(pH 5, 6) between the two fish species showed the diffeences of the estimated molecular weights, 11,700(pH5.0) and 87,000(pH6.0)

A ${\alpha}-galactosidase{\;}({\alpha}-D-galactoside$ galactohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.22) was purified from the culture filtrate of Penicillium purpurogenum by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, gel filtration of Bio gel p-l00, and subsequent SP-Sephadex C-25 chromatography. The final preparation thus obtained showed a single band on polyacrylamide disc-gel and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight and isoelectric point were determined to be 63,000 and pH 4.0 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing, respectively. The galactosidase exhibited maximum activity at pH 4.5 and $55^{\circ}C$, and was stable between pH 2 and 5, and also stable up to $40^{\circ}C$. The enzyme activity was not affected considerably by treatment with other metal compounds except mercuric chloride and silver nitrate. Copra galactomannan was finally hydrolyzed to galactose, mannose and mannobiose through the sequential actions of the purified galactosidase and mannanase from the same strain. The enzyme hydrolyzed melibiose and raffinose, but not lactose.

Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) was executed to separate the seed storage proteins from the buckwheat. The proteins extracted from the whole seed proteins were better separated and observed in the use of lysis buffer. Using this method, the highly reproducible isoelectric focusing (IEF) can be obtained from polyacrylamide gels, and IEF from the polyacrylamide gel at all the possible pH range (5.0-8.0) was more easily separated than IPG (immobilized pH gradient) gels. The polyacrylamide gels in the first dimension in 2-DE was used to separate and identify a number of whole seed proteins in the proteome analysis. In this new apparatus using 2-DE, 27cm in length of plate coated with polyacrylamide gel was used and the experiment was further investigated under the various conditions.

The mode of transglycosylation reaction observed during the action of low-molecular-weigh $\beta$-D-glucosidase ($\beta$-D-glucoside glucohydrolase, EC3.2.1.21) purified from Trichoderma koningii ATCC 26113 was investigated using $^{1}H$-NMR spectroscopy. The enzyme was purified by the series of procedures including ammonium sulfate precipitation, and fractionations by column chromatographies on Bio-Gel P-150, DEAE-Sephadex A-50, and SP-Sephadex C-50. The final purification was performed by the band eluation after preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme showed its molecular size of 78,000 through the analysis of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its isoelectric point of 5.80 through the analysis of analytical isoelectric focusing. The H-1 proton resonances were analyzed. After the reaction of the enzyme with cellobiose, the reaction products were separated by high performance liquid chromatography using refractive index detector. H-1 resonances of the products were consisted with those of gentiobiose [$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl--(1,6)-D-glucopyranose], and cellotriose [$\beta$-D glucopyranosyl-(1,4)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl]-(1,4)-D-glucopyranose] with minor resonances of sophorose [$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl-(1,2)-D-glucopyranose], respectively.

The methods of isoelectric focusing of 4 isozymes in polyacrylamide horizontal slab gels and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were applied to characterize the biochemical phenotypes of 19 cultivars of barley. Among 19 barley cultivars screened, 7 esterase, 3 phosphoglucose isomerase, 4 peroxidase and 2 alcohol dehydrogenase isozyme phenotypes were distinguished by isoelectric focusing. When purified DNA of each cultivar was digested with restriction enzyme EcoRV and analyzed its RFLPs with barley DNA markers pMSU 51 or pMSU 71, two distinct RFLP patterns were shown. Based on the four isozymes and two RELP polymorphisms, 19 cultivars of barley were classified into 13 biochemical phenotypes. Phylogenetical relationships among 13 biochemical phenotypes classified were determined using Nei's F-statistics and the phylogenetic dendrogram was constructed.
