질편모충 항원 분석의 일환으로 막항원의 분석을 시도하였다 수확 세척된 질편모충 HY-l의 homogenate를 sucrose step-gradient를 이용하여 differential centrifugation하였으며 25%/45%의 sucrose 경계면으로녁터 막분회을 얻었다. 분리된 막분회은 transmission electron microscopy를 통하여 순수 분리되었는지 확인하였고 효소면역 전기영동 이적법(EITB)을 이용하여 항원성을 관찰하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같았다. 분리된 막분획은 투과전자 현미경상에서 extended sheet나 concentric vesicle의 형태가 거의 균질하게 분포하고 있었으며 막 분획에서 특징적으로 나타나는 trilaminal appearance를 보여 질편모충의 막분획이 순수 분리된 것으로 간주할 수 있었다. 분리된 막분획은 EITB상에 토끼의 항혈청과 반응하였을 때 46, 60, 110, 120, 130 및 150 kfDa에서 항원성이 있는 반응대가 관찰되었으며 N-hydroxysuccinimido-biotic으로 표지하여 분리된 표면항원의 녁획과 비교하였을 때 60 KDa의 항원 분획이 서로 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 60 kfDa 의 항원 분획은 료면 항원임을 확신할 수 있었다.

GroESLx proteins of symbiotic X-bacteria were overproduced in Escherichia coli and their structural characteristics were assayed after simple purification. The GroESx and GroELx were heat-stable at 8$0^{\circ}C$ and 5$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. After heat-treatment, GroESx was purified by DEAE Sephadex A-50 chromatography and GroELx was purified by step- and linear sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation. Molecular masses of GroESx and GroELx were 50-80 kDa and 800 kDa, respectively, as estimated by sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation. In chemical cross-linking analysis, subunits of GroESx were mostly cross-linked by incubation for 3 h in 0.4% glutaralde-hyde and GroESx was found to be composed of homo-heptamer subunits. Those of GroELx were cross-linked within 10 min in 0.3% glutaraldehyde and GroELx was in two stacks of homo-heptamer subunits. On the other hand, GroESx and GroELx proteins in a solution could not be cross-linked even after incubation for 3 h in 0.5% glutaraldehyde. GroELx was stable at 4-37$^{\circ}C$. In the presence of both GroESx and ATP, GroELx$_{14}$ was stable at 37$^{\circ}C$ but not at 4$^{\circ}C$ or 24$^{\circ}C$. Thus, we confirmed the oligomeric properties of GroESx$_{7}$ and GroELx$_{14}$ and their stability to heat and in the interaction with GroESx.x.

The purity of mtDNAs isolated from Archicitrus and Metacitrus leaves was higher in percoll density gradient centrifugation than differential and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The most clear mtDNAs were obtained from mitochondria included in the Interface band of between 21% and 45% under isomotic, low viscosity conditions in the three step discontinuous percoll density gradient centrifugation. DNase treatment to the crude mitochondrlal suspension still more increased purity of mtDNA by the effective removal of the nuclear and chloroplast DNA and mtDNAs were appeared as a single band at middle position of tube by EtBr /cscl density gradient centrifugation. Agarose gel electrophoresis of mtDNAs resolved a single, broad band containing high molecular weight DNAs In all preparation. Yield of mtDNAs was about 110 and 2 ug Per 2009 in mature and immature leaves respectively. The mtDNA fragment patterns showed by EcoR I treatment were indistinguishable with respect to nom bet and position of bands in Archicitrus and Metacitrus. In the pattern of Hind E restriction, the Metacitrus displayed the unique band between 5.0 and 4.0kb, in addition to four fragments about 5.0, 2.4, 2.15, and 2.0kb, respectively, different from Archicitrus. Also the pattern of total mtDNAs fragment by the treatment of Pst I showed that the distinguishable fragment pat tern was not appeared in Archicitrus(C. iyo Tanaka), but about 6.0, 5.5, 5.0 and 2.Bkb fragments were appeared only in Metacitrus(C. junos Sieb). Therefore it was indicated that two species in intra-subgenus were identical each other, whereas considerable difference was revealed for inter-subgenus.

The ryanodine-receptor $Ca^{2+}$ release channel protein in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane of rabbit skeletal muscle plays an important role in muscle exitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. Various types of detergents were tested, including Chaps, cholate, octylglucoside, Zwittergents, Mega-9, Lubrol PX, and Triton X-100 for solubilization of this protein. Among these, Chaps and Triton X-100 were found to optionally solubilize the channel complex. Optimum conditions for this solubilization were pH 7.4 with a salt concentration of 1 M. The addition of phospholipid in the solubilization step helped in stabilizing the protein. The purification of the receptor was performed using sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Various methods [dilution, freeze-thaw, adsorption (Biobeads), and dialysis] were investigated to incorporate the Chaps-solubilized and purified $Ca^{2+}$ release channel protein into liposomes made from different types of phospholipids. Of these, a combined method consisting of a dialysis, freeze-thaw and sonication steps yielded the best results. Reconstituted vesicles produced by this method with 95% phosphatidylcholine (from soybean extract) had good function.
