The present experiment aimed to evaluate the effect of HMBi on the production performance and metabolism in dairy cows. Thirty multiparous Holstein dairy cows under similar conditions were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments; i) Control, a basal diet; ii) T1, a basal diet plus HMBi (0 g prepartum and 18 g postpartum); and iii) T2, a basal diet plus HMBi (10 g prepartum and 18 g postpartum). Treatments were initiated 21 d before expected calving and continued through 91 d postpartum. HMBi was top-dressed onto the total mixed ration of each cow. Treatments did not affect dry matter intake, plasma urea nitrogen, peak milk yield, days to peak milk yield, nonesterified fatty acid, glutamate pyruvate transaminase, glutamic oxalaetic transaminase, milk fat content, milk protein content, milk lactose content, and milk solid non-fat content. The milk composition yields were increased by the HMBi-supplemented treatment. The T1 and T2 treatments increased the yields of 4% fat-corrected milk yield, milk fat, milk protein, and milk lactose compared with the control. Although there was no difference in the milk composition of the control and T2-treated cows, the T2-treated cows exhibited higher milk fat yield (increased by 74 g/d), lower milk urea nitrogen (reduced by 3.41%), and plasma ${\beta}$-hydroxy butyrate than the control cows. The results indicate that HMBi supplementation to diet has beneficial effects, and that there is no difference between supplementation at prepartum and starting only at parturition.

Amyloid fibrils have long been known to be the well known ${\alpha}$-helix to ${\beta}$-sheet transition characterizing the conversion of cellular to scrapie forms of the prion protein. A very short sequence of Yeast prion-like protein, GNNQQNY (SupN), is responsible for aggregation that induces diseases. KSI-fused tandem repeats of SupN vector are constructed and used to express SupN peptide in Escherichia coli (E.Coli). A method for a production, purification, and cleavage of tandem repeats of recombinant isotopically enriched SupN in E. coli is described. This method yields as much as 20 mg/L of isotope-enriched fusion proteins in minimal media. Synthetic SupN peptides and $^{13}C$ Gly labeled SupN peptides are studied by Congo Red staining, Birefringence and transmission electron microscopy to characterize amyloid fibril formation. To get a better understanding of aggregation-structure relationship of 7 residues of Yeast prion-like protein, the change of a conformational structure will be studied by $^{13}C$ solid-state nmr spectroscopy as powder of both amorphous and fibrillar forms.

For an effective solid-phase labelling of protein with $^{125}I$, studies on the immobilization of lactoperoxidase(LPO) on the inner wall of polystyrene tubes were carried out. Labelling of bovine serum albumin(BSA) and insulin was also practiced using the LPO immobilized tubes. The immobilized enzyme of about $2.5{\mu}g/tube$ was sufficient for small scale labelling since the results of radio-paper chromatography of the labelling mixture of insulin indicated that the yields were sufficiently high(80%) even in the reactions conducted at room temperature for 60 sec. The results of the Sephadex column chromatography indicated that the labelled products were not contaminated with $LPO-^{125}I$, and the radiochemical purity of the products was more than 90%. In considering the general trend that the $^{125}I$ labelled protein obtained by using LPO maintains its intactness better than those obtained by using chloramine-T, together with the tendency of yield enhancing with increase of reactants-concentration, the LPO immobilized tube method is estimated to be one of the simple methods of labelling. The product might be applicable without further purification.

Transmembrane(TM) proteins are closely related to transport, channel formation, signaling, cell to cell interaction, so they are the crucial target of modern medicinal drugs. In order to study the structure and function of these TM proteins, it is important to prepare reasonable amounts of proteins. However, their preparation is seriously difficult and time-consuming due to insufficient yields and low solubility of TM proteins. We tried to produce large amounts of Syndecan-4 containing TM domain(SDC4-TM) that is related to the wound healing and tumor. Also, mutated SDC4-TM was studied to investigate structural change by modification of dimerization motif. We performed the structure determination by the Polarity Index at Slanted Angle (PISA) wheel pattern analysis based on $^{15}N-^1H$ 2D SAMPI-4 solid-state NMR of SDC4-TM and computational modeling using Discovery Studio 2016.

Velvet antler (VA) is a historically traditional medicinal supplement and is well known in Asian countries for its pharmaceutical and health benefits. The objectives for this study were to optimize the hot water extraction (HWE) of VA for the Korean VA industry, and to determine the most effective pretreatment method among microwave (MW), ultrasonication (US), and enzymatic (EZ) techniques. Using response surface methodology, optimum extraction temperatures and times were determined by central composite design configuration based on extraction yield and sialic acid content. Various quality parameters of VA extract including yield, soluble solid, protein, and sialic acid contents were also compared with the conjunction of HWE and pretreatment. The yield and sialic acid content of VA extract were determined to be 40% and 0.73 mg/g, respectively, under an optimum temperature of 100℃ at 24 h of extraction time. The yields from VA extracts pretreated with MW, US, and EZ were 17.42%, 19.73%, and 29.15%, respectively. Among the tested commercial enzymes, pepsin was the most effective proteolytic enzyme and led to the highest yield (47.65%), soluble solids (4.03 °brix), protein (1.12 mg/ml), and sialic acid (3.04 mg/ml) contents from VA extract.

Twenty four early lactating Nili-Ravi buffaloes, eight in each group, were used in a Randomized Complete Block Design to evaluate the influence of varying ruminally degradable protein (RDP) to ruminally undegradable protein (RUP) ratio on feed intake, digestibility, N balance, milk yield and its composition, conception rate and days open. Three experimental diets were formulated to contain RDP:RUP of 50:50, 66:34 and 82:18 and were denoted as HRUP, MRUP and LRUP, respectively. Dry matter (DM) intake was higher (p<0.05) in buffaloes fed HRUP diet than in those fed MRUP and LRUP diets. Dry matter digestibility was higher (p<0.05) in buffaloes fed LRUP diet than in those fed HRUP and MRUP diets. Linear increase was observed in DM digestibility with increasing RDP:RUP while Neutral detergent fiber digestibility remained unaltered in buffaloes fed HRUP and MRUP diets, however, it was higher than in those fed LRUP diet. Crude protein digestibility remained unaltered across all treatments. Milk and 4 percent fat corrected milk (4% FCM) yield was higher (p<0.05) in buffaloes fed HRUP diet than those fed MRUP and LRUP diets. Linear decrease in milk yield was observed with increased RDP:RUP. Milk protein and fat yields were higher (p<0.05) in animals fed HRUP diet than those fed MRUP and LRUP diets. Milk protein percent in animals fed HRUP diet was higher than in those fed LRUP diet, whereas it did not differ with those fed MRUP diet. Percent of fat, total solids, solid not fat and lactose remained unaltered across all diets. Nitrogen balance was higher in buffaloes fed HRUP diet than in those fed other diets. Increasing the RDP:RUP resulted in a linear decrease in N balance. The blood urea nitrogen and milk urea nitrogen were lower (p<0.05) in buffaloes fed HRUP diet than those fed MRUP and LRUP diets. The blood pH remained unaltered across all treatments. Days open did not differ significantly. Conception rate was higher in buffaloes fed HRUP diet than those fed MRUP and LRUP diets. The findings of the present study indicate that feeding high (50% of the total crude protein) ruminally undegradable protein diet not only increased nutrient intake and milk yield but also improved conception rate in early lactating buffaloes.

Sugar or dextrose increases the cost of production of xanthan gum by Xanthomonas campestris. Brewers' Spent Grain (BSG) was chosen as a source of fermentable sugars. BSG is a significant industrial by-product generated in large quantities from the breweries. Primarily used as animal feed due to its high fiber and protein content, BSG holds great potential as an economically and ecologically sustainable substrate for fermenting biomolecules. This study explores BSG's potential as a cost-effective carbon source for producing xanthan, utilizing Xanthomonas campestris NCIM 2961. An aqueous extract was prepared from BSG and inoculated with the bacterium under standard fermentation conditions. After fermentation, xanthan gum was purified using a standard protocol. The xanthan yield from BSG media was compared to that from MGYP media (control). The fermentation parameters, including pH, temperature, agitation and duration were optimized for maximum xanthan gum yield by varying them at different levels. Following fermentation, the xanthan gum was purified from the broth by alcoholic precipitation and then dried. The weight of the dried gum was measured. The obtained xanthan from BSG under standard conditions and commercial food-grade xanthan were characterized using FTIR. The highest xanthan yields were achieved at 32 ℃, pH 6.0, and 72 h of fermentation at 200 rpm using BSG media. The FTIR spectra of xanthan from BSG media closely resembled that of commercial food-grade xanthan. The results confirm the potential of BSG as a cost-effective alternative carbon source for xanthan production, thereby reducing production costs and solid waste.

우렁쉥이 껍질은 다량의 색소를 함유하지만 껌질 자체는 어류가 소화시킬 수 없는 구조를 갖기 때문에 색소분해가 일어나지 않도록 고압 가열하거나 효소처리하여 소화할 수 있는 상태로 만들면 어류 사료에 직접 첨가할 수 있게 된다. 따라서 본 실험은 우렁쉥이 껍질 분말에 viscozyme, celluclast, visco-cell (1:1), ultrazyme 등의 복합효소를 일정량 첨가한 후 $50^{\circ}C$에서 일정시간 분해시키면서 일어나는 화학적 변화를 조사하였다. 불용성 고형분과의 분리능력을 의미하는 상청액율은 효소 첨가구의 농도가 $55.20\~71.88\%$로 효소 무처리구의 $52.68\%$에 비하여 높았고, 고형분 수율도 $800{\mu}l$ 첨가시 까지는 증가하다가 이후 감소하는 경향이었다. 이를 토대로 Duncan multiple test를 하여 각 인자간의 상관관계를 고려한 후 기준 첨가량을 $400{\mu}l$로 하였다. 각 효소의 최적 반응시간을 결정하기 위하여 껍질 분말에 각 효소 $400{\mu}l$를 첨가한 후 20, 40, 60, 120, 180, 240분간 반응시켰다. 효소의 종류에 관계없이 고형분 수율, 상청액율 및 고형분 농도 값이 반응 60분 후에는 거의 변화가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 상청액 중 당 조성을 분석한 결과 viscozyme 처리구는 glucose, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine이 주성분이었고, celluclast 처리구는 glucose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine이, ultrazyme 처리구는 glucose가 주성분이었으며, visco-cello(1:1) 혼합효소구는 celluclast에 의한 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 껍질은 약 $40\%$의 단백질 (건물량)을 함유하지만, 각 부위별 아미노산 조성은 내피 중의 함량이 가장 높아 21.00g/100g sample이었다. 이들 아미노산 함량중 Asp와 Glu가 가장 많았고, 내피 중 필수아미노산의 함량도 껍질보다 높았다. 껌질 중의 지방산 조성은 매우 다양하였으며, 포화 지방산 중에서는 14 : 0, 16 : 0, 18 : 0가 주성분이었으며, 불포화지방산 중에서는 n-3 계열의 총지질 (TL), 중성지질 (NL), 극성지질 (PL)이 각각 $19.72\%,\;20.44\%,\;20.10\%$였고, n-6 계열의 TL, NL, PL이 각각 $9.21\% \;9.10\%,\;12.18\%$였다. 총 포화지방산의 함량은 PL이 $40.31\%$, NL이 $36.44\%$, TL이 $35.41\%$로 PL의 함량이 높았다.
